Portugal vs Holland
Posted by pankykapus
Well if they beat them in the game fair and square then you won't hear any protests from me. If, however, they do literally "beat the @#$%& out of them", which going on last night's performance isn't too unlikely, then I think we'd have right to complain.

ABout what will you complain? A ref that is is giving too many yellows and red or about opponents deliberately breaking Rooney's leg?

I completely agree with you on everything there - but footballers aren't adults - they've never, ever behaved like adults, barring a minority. Seriously, they're all just spoilt kids.

I'd complain if they showed the same horrendous bad discipline that they did against Holland. I think everyone would.
