Denmark v Portugal - Tweeting Diary

Another simple method.  Regular updates of the game  but only 140 characters allowed per update.  I occasionally tweet during football matches if something occurs to me, but generally I get bit bored of the endless streams of tweets from fans saying inane things like "Goal" or "Good Save".  Quite often these are from the same people that make disparaging remarks about the pundits at half time!  I hope my tweeting is slightly more insightful and interesting, although 140 characters can be a bit limiting.

Pre Match: "Heart says Denmark, betting slip says Portugal, Brain say draw. #mustlearntobetwitbrain"

"Both teams unchanged. Postiga must have something on the manager! Oliveira is far better"

8 mins "All Denmark, Portugal should bring Ronaldo on. Oh hang on a minute!"
12 Mins "I keep thinking Portugal will be good...but they're not. #flattertodeceive"
18 Mins "Rubbish shot from Ronaldo, dull game so far. Please don't be a dud!"
23 Mins "GOAL!! Lovely header from Pepe.  Can't stand Pepe. Come on Denmark"
28 Mins "Denmark have stopped playing since first 5 mins. Not sure if Bendtner has touched it yet"
32 Mins "Ronaldo passes when he should have kept it! A pig flies over my house"
33 Mins "Only Holland haven't scored so far. #totalfootballmysarse"
35 Mins "Another pig goes over!  Postiga scores"
39 Mins "Beautiful goal!  Bendtner is playing.  dud well and truly averted"
42 Mins "When will there be a rubbish game in this competition? England and Sweden i'm looking at you!"
45 Mins "Drury says skulldugery! Highlight of the Euros so far"

HT  "Another decent half. Slow start but fun last 25."

49 Mins "1on1 but poor effort from Ronaldo. ITV still love him though"
50 Mins "Drury mentions the Killing. Good for him"
53 Mins "Eriksen not living up to the hype, looks a bit like Captain America pre experiment"
59 Mins "Rommendahl pulls a hamstring. Mikkelsen on, looks a bit like Judd Trump"
61 Mins "ooommpphhh. Bullet from Klist, inches wide, would have broke the net #itwouldn'treally"
64 Mins "Mikkelsen looks good, great cross on him"
68 Mins "Oliviera on, always went Benfica players to do well #secondteam"
73 Mins "Nothing happening"
76 Mins "Ronaldo misses a sitter. Hilarious stuff.The Danish fans chant "Messi""
80 Mins "Bendter again. What a fun few minutes this has been."
83 Mins "Come on Denmark. I may jump out of armchair if they win this!"
86 Mins "Varela. Great hit, yet another cracking game"
90 Mins "How loud is the PA?! Like a nightclub. #imgettingold"
93 Mins "3-2. Excellent game, this is my favourite tournament ever"

Hope that wasn't too painful a read.  Not one of my favourite efforts to be honest, felt very contrived and hard to make interesting comments. Maybe twitter is best for inane comments!
Next up,I'll be writing a review of the BBC coverage of Holland-Germany.
