England Vs Portugal *Spoilers*
Posted by Covfan
jeez, what excuses for the penalty missers. it's their whole job, their whole life, to kick the ball in the net, that is the only reason for their existence. so he had to take it again, the goal is a huge target to aim for. how about doing the trick where you pretend to kick it, pause so the keeper moves, then you kick it the opposite way. it can't be that hard from that distance, they are professionals after all.
@ Zep, yeah Wimbledon will be good once Tim starts playing. when is his first match? not seen his name on the listings anywhere.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Well, they put us through 3 f***ing hours of agony and f*** it up on penalties!!!! Nothing new there then...
Only saving grace was that they would've probably played Brazil in the next round, and they'd have definitely lost that one!
Did anybody watch Doctor Who afterwards though? It's gonna be a big one for the final episode!
Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

That wasn't all down to Wayne, if you listened to Shearer and co. at half time, you would of found out that Sven had put 4-5-1, which meant that Rooney had no support up front.

Well I thought stuttered run ups were band, but everybody does them >_<
H E L L O
H E L L O Disapointed. I expected we would win the match beforehand. I think we actually deserved to win the match, we played better when we were down to 10 men. No complaints about Rooney, he definetely deserved a red. The referee was very good, I don't think the tackle on Lennon should have been a penalty, the ref just made a couple of mistakes on the opening stages, particularly against Hargreaves.
You kind of feel sorry for teams like Cote D'Ivoire, who probably could of beaten England if they were still in. They were in a group of death, which contributed to their early exit.
I think that our best players overall were Ferdinand (who saved certian goals throughout the tournament with superb last-ditch tackles) and Joe Cole who had some superb games, but was anonymous in others, today as an example.
I was also impressed with Carrick, Crouch, Hargreaves and Lennon during the tournament.

@ Dave, wtf were channel 4 on about? he's Scottish, so why SHOULD he represent England?
like on the radio the other day, some woman called in for a song request or something, and the guy kept going on about England, asking her is she excited about todays match and whatever. the thing is, she had the most obvious Irish accent ever, so why would she be excited about England? stupid or what!

That may be true. However, you guys were the ones who got "pwned" in this round...
I really don't get you guys, five days ago you were shocked because Portugal had been harsh against Holland. Today, Rooney steps on Ricardo Carvalho's balls (and that is why he was sent off), just before pushing Ronaldo and Petit and you are shocked because that is not harsh enough for you! It is true that he was fouled before, but an agression is supposed to be punished with a red card, and grabbing a player's shirt causes an indirect free kick... Using the official statistics, England commited 21 fouls, eleven more than Portugal. Who is violent now?!
Portugal failed to score during the whole game, but this was clearly Scolari's fault: he took Pauleta for Simão and we payed with Ronaldo as a striker until Postiga came on, and with no striker at all afterwards. However, there is no doubt we controlled the game. You guys were just shut in your midfield, not to say in your penalty area, and Crouch was there to get all the balls your defense (9 players) could shoot out of there. Your goalkeeper was very well though, he stopped some good shots by Hugo Viana and Tiago. Using the statistics again, Portugal had 20 shots, 9 of them on goal, while England shot for 9 times, only 4 of them on Ricardo's goal. Besides, we had 57% of ball posession...
About the penalty shoot out, we also missed twice, but the keeper Ricardo was just brilliant (and I don't like him...).
Basically, stop making up excuses, you did not deserve to win, actually neither team did.
About France, remember we were missing two key players, Deco and Costinha. With them, things will certainly be different!
Well, I haven't posted here for a long time, so I hope you still accept my opinions :P
P.S.: By the way, this flag has been here since 2004, after we were beaten by Greece... I hope it helps

two things i'm struggling to understand Dave,
(1) you've said quite a few time that you don't like football.
(2) You've also said that you have this dislike the english for what they did to your scottish ancestors years ago and its been indoctrinated by your grandmother.
Apart from trying to cause trouble in here with the England fans, i cant see what your contributing in a thread that until now England have gone out?

I was in a very Irish bar today and everyone cheered when Portugal scored and England lost. I was very pleased.
tbh,

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)
