Euro 2004.
Portugal 3 vs 2 England. (P)
England are officialy out :( all because some switz referee who cannot see the ball when we scored the goal dissalowes it! We should have won because of that goal CLEARLY and now i'm very angry! I live in England and like all people in England right now are angry! It went to penalties and they should have swopped penaltie spots because the turf was un-even after Beckham took his Penaltie that he missed. We lost on penalties. Very Angry i am now! |
I'm from England, and i find a bunch of straight men crying like a bunch of 6 year old girls, over a football game, is rather amusing. Excuse me whilst i laugh...repeatedly.
|
So since England got knocked-out in yet another tournament does this mean that the fans are going to riot again? :p
But on performance England should have won Euro 04. But now France should take it out. |
:
I'm really disappointed, we lost because the ref cheated. Very unfair. |
:
Basically we were s**t! You can't base a whole international side and game plan on the performance of an 18 year old Shrek look-a-like... even if he is the "boy wonder"! And what the f**k were we doing defending after going only 1 up!?! Erickson wants his brains examining... his tactics were wrong... we needed to hammer home at least 3 in the first half to make sure there'd be no reprisals! And then in extra time... there is no way Owen can actually trap and carry on with the quality of service he was getting... the lad could easily follow through with an 18 yard GROUND PASS but in the heat and with our s**t fittness there's no way he'll be able to chase and control the VOLLEYS that were being placed his way! The number of defenders on the pitch was ridiculous! We didn't look or play like a team... we weren't hungry enough for a win... far too many over paid over sexed... scared to get a broken leg bunch of nancies... I mean Beckham... where the f**k was he? What was he doing... f**k all basically! And the penas... Jesus... I wish Beckham was a national for Brazil... he'd be dead by now... an execution! Rant over! |
Wasn't it Terry's arm? And it was only over the keepers shoulder because the keeper ran into campbell and terry, and jumped up underneath him. It wasn't Terry's fault.

Perhaps now England are out, there will be a disappearance of those terrible car flags.
I watched some of the game & in agreement with ClaireBear I saw the obstruction. We were terrible and I knew we'd lose. I was actually laughing when we lost in the end. Oh dear. I suppose theres always next time. |
:
It must be because we knocked the Switz out wiv a 3-0 win. I'm still very very annoyed! And also im a 13 year old straight kid and i was in tears myself cause its that emmotional at times. Also my dad is on his way home from portugal after watching the game. Also i'm bringing up the case about the penaltie spot. After beck's penaltie we should have played on the other end the ref could see the state it was in! |
The penalty spot was just as bad on the other end of the pitch, its because it's a sand based pitch.

In my opinion, Urs Meier is a complete git. That goal was CLEARLY in!! Although I belive that England could of played a lot better then they should. And if they had, maybe this whole mess wouldn't of happened. . .
However, maybe something we should all remember is that it is just a game. I know it means a hell of a lot to some people (and I've been sucked into it! Help me someone!), but the fact that England are out of the tornament doesn't really matter, does it? The point is that we all had fun watching our team play in the tournament, didn't we? And I know the decision against the goal that should've been in was VERY contrivirtail(SP), but why are we such sore loosers? ITV news, for example, were encouraging viewers to leave nasty comments on the referee's home page: http://www.ursmeier.ch/referee/ I thought it was very funny. :) - DH |
According to 'The Sun', the referee apoligised to Sven for disallowing the goal - he shouldn't have :p
He is now newly dubbed the 'Swiss Banker' - rather amusing. |
Well, since my froggy caunty is also participating, I can't realy say im sorry for england ofcourse. Though you guys are right, that was a rightfull goal. And a real bueatifull one if it counted.
|
yeah, why did the ref say that the header wasn't proper. he scored fair and square! (btw we brits love football like americans like american football)
|
Damn right mud the goal clearly was in at the very end........3-2 to England......WE should have won but like i say i still blame the ref and yes the sun said he apologised for being unfair and he has favouritism......At least he will not ref any matches in this years Euro 2004...so at least the final will be fair...........
P.S. France are out... |
Everywere I go people are slagging off Becks and Sven. In the paper, news and even people. Would there be all of this if we had won?
Yeah beckham played crap, but one penalty missed, you can't then say that he shouldn't be captain anymore (which I saw on the news). Sven should've replaced Gerrard with Dyer or Joe Cole, but Phil Neville, it's like he was mocking Portugal. :p With the Campbell GOAL that the Ref wouldn't allow it because of a foul on Ricardo, if it was a foul, it should've been a goal kick, but instead, a Portugal player got the ball and ran for goal. There's nothing anyone can do about it now. Good thing we didn't win, Rooney's out for a month now. Look on the bright side everybody, with France out, it's anybody's game, so it should be very exciting. :D |
Yeah, as my friend Matt said, the French Frogs got Greeced up. :D Mwa-ha-ha-ha! :D Get it?
*gets odd looks* *sighs* Oh, never mind. - DH |
