Well, we lost...

:-(
Well, until the next world cup...

Here's the thread you've been waiting for Kenny :pissed:



I wish Portugal success in Euro04. Although that Ronaldo is an arrogant c&*t...  

[itix]

Portugal won :-)

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Well, WE won with 3-0 of Latvija
(*sigh*, all this orange stuff begins to hurt the eyes :roll:)
well, it gives perspective for some more nice evenings with friends. :pint:

Yup, I like the game, but not all the fuss around it.
And in particular, I do not like the ":pissed:" aspect of it, tis a friggin' game for goodness sake Cyberus! Well, now you lost, it's also fun to be for the green guys instead of being for the yellow guys (or whatever colour the English are).

I'm still wondering wtf Beckham was doing with that penalty :-).

[KennyR]

It wasn't Beckham's fault I guess. The penalty spot had the texture of a deflated rubber dinghy. No wonder everyone else either stamped the crap out of the thing or didn't even put the ball on it.

Has Beckham EVER scored a penalty in an international match ?


We Wuzz Robbed !!!

Just watched the game again on a re-run...  What did you guys think of the refing? My buddies, who were pro-England (or should I say, anti-Portugal) thought the refs were favouring Portugal. In particular, they claimed the disallowed goal should have been counted. What do you guys think???

I don't know where they had their classes as referees, but I guess it was a lousy school, the Goal Keeper *can't* be touched in that area!
 
But it shows that England played so well that one have to ramble about one inexistent goal... If 'you' want to point at someone point at your selection who had done nothing to actually deserve to won, even the penalties from england were a joke... sick what a bad loosers

Well, at least it matched the quality of their defending..

To be honest, I don`t think England deserved to get that far, without Rooney we`d have been out long ago.

That's been my opinion right through the group stages.

I just got back from a holiday in Croatia (beautiful place!) the day before the England-Croatia match, and I was backing the Croats rather than the England; they had been playing far better, more consistently, and I'd rather that they'd have got through (*)

To be quite fair, though, England were very lucky not to concede more goals against Portugal; also if you go back and watch the Portugal vs Spain match, you'll realise that Portugal are easily good enough to go the distance in this competition...

* - I'd have loved it even more if Croatia had beaten the French! That 90th minute miss - ouch! :-)

We've lost. Its over with. Lets just prepare for the World Cup in Deutschland in 2 years time.

LOL @ Germanys current form. They lost to the Czech reserve team. If they can't get past the group stage in their own tournament in two years, I'd be LMAO.

As for who I want to win - Portugal or Netherlands. France better not win it!  :-x

Portugal did play better but they did make mistakes. If there had been no contact with the goalie then that goal could have been the end. Sloppy defending from both sides.

[MAD]

Hoya!

France lost? Muhahahahahahahaha! At last, I will not be bothered any longer by fellow compatriots about "the best team in the world"!

For the record, Figo looks like my best friend! ;-D

Be funky

Everyone make mistakes, even champions.. as to this clear non-situation (about the goal who hadn't happened) brought by UK press is that can easily be seen that our goalie has been touched, obviously not by Sol, but he didn't need to be the one making the fault to void the goal, the english player was rather naive when he give Ricardo a chance to void the goal... but oh! We're so big, we're so beautiful, we cannot loose, it can't be our fault kind of attitude that show your arrogance towards the game itself...

England was winning against france and loose, played poorly against Swiss and still all you blame is the referee... typical from someone who cannot see himself on the mirror.

Cheers and happy riddance 'beckhome'!
