QF 1 - England vs Portugal

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Tears.

That was the best game of football I've ever seen, but the most heartbreaking result of any as well.

Tears...

Sol Campbell..... what the hell do refs have against him?????

Poor old england, reminds me a bit of Argentina '98

 

[superkingdave]

I really hope something unfortunate happens to that German ref - like he is sued or something (hopefully for alot of money).

Thought he was Swiss?

 

[Tim]

Dispair!

 

[ReallyCrazy]

I only watched the last part of the match after work......byb bye england
what happened with the ref?

 

[superkingdave]

I'm a bit worried - the ref might be partly responsible for a big riot- the England supporters will be in a bad mood and a little bit of goading from the Portugese and bam!

 

[Swervy]

what an utter joke...fair enough Portugal played better, but that disallowed goal was diabolical. That ref was so unbeleivably hard on England all the way through,but that just took the bisciut...GUTTED

 

[Tim]

Sure the ref was crap..but England contributed to the loss.

Lampard was hopeless in the mid-field..how many times did he give the ball away easily?

 

[Swervy]

Beckham was very poor...he has had a shocker all the way through

Campbell is a footballing god though

 

[ReallyCrazy]

that first penalty kick from beckham was a shocker

anyway whats this about the goal being disallowed? what happned?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Basically Ricardo (the Portuguese "goalkeeper") ran into John Terry and flapped his hands about, and Urs Meier gave a free kick because he doesn't know what he's doing.

****.

 

[Sanz]

Woo Hoo, I wanted Portugal to win. I stopped following after half time when they were trailing 0-1 and checked the score just now, They won, They won.

I feel really sorry for England fans.

 

[Simon]

seems a bit like WC 2002 when the home team was given a passage to the Semis by the officials to keep interest in the tournament in the home country.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Thought he was Swiss?

Yeah, he is. Oops.

 

[Waughney]

I feel really sorry for England fans.

I don't. Show no mercy. They didn't after the rugby WC!

 

[blackcapsrule]

I don't. Show no mercy. They didn't after the rugby WC!

Yes. I don't and never will be sorry for the english.........in anything.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Yes. I don't and never will be sorry for the english.........in anything.

It's a bit hard to when you've just been whitewashed ey?

 

[Tim]

Are you referring to the rugby?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Are you referring to the rugby?

My assumption would be the Test cricket...

 

[Tim]

Luckily for England the cricketers have some mental toughness at the moment.
