Portugal should really be proud of their performance at UEFA EURO 2012

Portugal has to be proud of their performance at UEFA EURO 2012, even though their campaign led to Wednesday's crushing defeat in a very penalty shoot-out during the semi-finals to holders Spain, forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani insisted. We didn't lack for conviction, but there we were unlucky. That's penalties for you personally, said Ronaldo, whose frustration was apparent after he decided not to even have a chance to take his spot-kick as Cesc Fabregas had already wrapped things for Spain.Youth Soccer Jerseys Spain goalkeeper and Ronaldo's Real Madrid club-mate Iker Casillas had ensured too much by saving from Joao Moutinho, while Bruno Alves hit the crossbar. We really gave it all we had, and difficult to depart on penalties. We showed lots of quality, said Manchester United winger Nani, who stored his penalty after appearing to push Alves to the pecking order. In the top Spain simply had more luck than we did.

People are sad even as we deserved to remain the final - but we can go home with the heads held high, Nani insisted on an echo of England coach Roy Hodgson, whose own side tasted defeat within the penalty shoot-out against Italy on the quarter-finals.KLOSE Germany Jersey We didn't lack for conviction, but there we were unlucky. That's penalties for yourself. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese forward The penalty loss after an extension box meant Portugal never reach only their second trophy match after EURO 2004 on home soil. Yet it appeared their penalty-taking strategy had backfired, with Ronaldo being saved to get last. Pepe, meanwhile, insisted penalties could have no effect on who was better team. Spot-kicks will always be a lottery.

We're a young group and we will have other opportunities in future. Striker Nelson Oliveira insisted how the Portuguese weren't able to be faulted for showing with the world and European champions. Of course we're also unhappy we didn't allow it to become, but we must always hold our heads high. We did all you can easily but sadly that wasn't quite enough to get at the final. We played exceptionally well and absolutely matched Spani entirely. It is composed by kittyshinesoccerjerseyssales 06.28.2012
