englands been fookin robbed again

we weren't robbed this time...we weren't good enough

we were crap to be honest...barely looked like scoring before rooney was sent off

don't think he deserved the red but was it for acidently stamping on that blokes balls or for shoving ronaldo who was trying to get him carded

several portugese players should've been booked for diving...by the time it had ended some should've walked for 2 bookings for divings

end of the day tho we didn't play to our potential

lampard, gerrard & carragher's penalties were crap

big bag of bollocks

whats the point in being racist? i dont like the cheating bastards but im not gonna play the race card. bad loser.

and no one cares whether you have a life, you obviously dont if you come on the internet to vent your frustrations in that kind of way... if you dont like being challenged about it dont fucking say it!

*awaits pc brigade comment*

robbed? they where god awful...

portugal where far the more rounded, competent side and played much better football from the get go they just lacked the attacking finish.. england where as scrappy, disorganised and generally woeful as they have been all through the tournament..

the only saving grace was hargreaves who ran his socks off..

i think we did well to save ourselves from complete humiliation in the next round..

couldn't agree more.....

this is the worst tournament ive ever seen us play yet our team has been the best,


i don' think we shud have lost the game, coz portugal were shite, but we just didnt get it right thruought the whole tournament, we never wopuld have won....


at least we have mclaren to luk 4wad to

Hargreaves was all over the pitch winning tackles and getting stuck in! beckham wants chucked like!

that was the only game i can safely say hargreaves was mint. but how many more times must we play agaisnt diving cunts, its a horrible state of affairs when we have to watch good tackles for divers. fifa need to sort it out :evil:

i think we deserved to win it!

In my honest opinion, Beckham shouldnt have been picked for the squad like!

oh FUCK OFF

exactly, he stood on the player, it wouldn't have made any difference is Ronaldo had said anything anyways, its a straight sending off.

haha they didnt dominate, far from it. argentina dominated against s+m... but just like portugal, england had enough attacks to win outright but yet again were let down by poor passing in the final third and indecision + scrappy play... for the players we have it was another very poor performance.

portugal were hardly sensational as was proved when they couldnt break us down. they certainly didnt dominate that match though, domination suggests one-sidedness.

i still am not convinced rooneys kick was intentional, he was facing the wrong way and fighting his way from of two challengers... stamps happen, its a contact sport.

How the fook did he deserve to walk?? It was a foul on Rooney in the first place, Rooney never thrust his leg he was fighting for the ball and then all he did was push sum 1 in the chest causing the player no injury. A yellow card for the push wud have been the right thing to do but a straight red for a pussy push fuck off!

i dont agree with you often but you're talking sense there!

Aye Ronaldo knew what he was doin wish Boularouz had of broke ronaldo leg when they played Holland. Just have to see now how England do in Euro 2008

fifa need to do somet about this, provocation lark. im sure you can be done by the police for provoking violence, so why cant the coppers do owt about this, there were more than enough cameras

i dont think we were watching the same match!

the ref certainly wasnt biased in favour of england, he gave niggly fouls against england constantly... hargreaves and terry were 2 victims + the portuguese goal was a good yard offside, the ref blew early and the english players stopped, robinson didnt even go to save the ball... so that hardly indicates dominance.

if the ref was going to be biased in favour of england why did he send rooney off? or why didnt he give lennon that penalty appeal (which was a fair tackle, but im sure you see my point).

portugal had more shots and a bit more posession, but thats to be expected after a team goes down to 10 men. before the sending off it was a scrappy affair with each side having spells of dominance... when lennon came on the game swung englands way and we were dictating the rhythm and tempo... the sending off ensured portugal would have more posession but we still created and in fairness either side could have won... hence why it went to penalties.

id never expect a statement like that from you rossy mate!

i support england because im english, i cant chop and change teams even when i want to... id support us still if we were bottom of the rankings. besides, on your logic you'd be supporting brazil if you went for the better pre-tournament teams... they were just as dissapointing as england... and argentina and spain played the best footy when it kicked off yet went home early...

by englands standards it was poor, and sven has to shoulder blame for years of bad tactics and bizarre selecions... we have some excellent players and we will always be contenders. we were unlucky but we'll be back for the euro's in 2 years and world cup in 4
