Meier said: "It was a clear foul, the keeper was in his own area and must be protected and if it happened again, I would make the same decision.

"England are looking for a scapegoat and they are looking to blame me."

Amen. At least he agrees with me that England are looking for excuses just like Portugal looked for them in Euro 2000 in that penalty shot in extra time. I mean, even Italy are blaming the Swede's and Danes for their agreement to tie.

Get over it Italians and Brits, you guys are sore losers.

Holy sh*t.

Fernando Ferreira, the goalkeeper coach of Uni?o de Leiria, died in the end of the Portugal-England match, from heart attack. He was 37 but had colesterol problems. (That's why he stopped playing football at 2002/2003's season.)

Plus, about 130 people in the stadium had to be checked by medics.

They had strokes and anxiety crises.

This sux0r. f(~_~)

Thanks for that link ... My portugese skills are not that great :laugh::

Ok this will shut everyone up, its official the Urs made a mistake!  UEFA referee committee agreed that was indeed a goal and that Urs was in the wrong.  It's everywhere papers news etc.  So he DID make a wrong decision and Urs was supposed to referee the final but hes been cut because of his mistake.

Source?

Because the only story I could find is this:

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/sport/story.asp...4z9yzx&t=soccer

Where the committee is reviewing ALL quarter finals officials in order to make up their mind on who will ref the semi finals & final games.

England was wrong... and it was a foul. Get used to it and I am glad that England is out with an ego like this one.

and i heard dutch women were hot too, i say go Holland.

I feel sad for the portugal's goal keeper coach but at the same time they might play less powerful because they are saddened.

During Summer-time, Portugal gets tons of nordic women. ;)

That's the main reason we now get more male tourists. :crazy: Go away!

He wasn't the Portuguese goalkeeper trainer... He trained @ a club.

Actually, few people knew him. It's not going to afect the squad. [sh*t, this sounds very cold.]

I have seen the same story in The Sun and The Daily Mirror. (OMG, how did I discover your trusted sources?!)

You people are very sad... Tssk, Tssk... Didn't that editors' mother told them that lying is bad? Uhm, wait... Nope, they're tabloids, that's the way they make money.

Oh well, if Elvis is still alive, Diana had an affair with the buttler and the Pope is an alien...

Actually I have the game recorded on tape, seen it over, and over, and over...

For the last time... do you see that small area marked near the goal?

This is the goalkeeper "safe-area", which means that he cannot be charged there.

If your stupid player did not charged our goalkeeper, Ricardo might not reached that ball! It could be a goal or not... You'll never know!

But no... he fouled him. Terry == D'oh!

ah well 20 pro refs cant be wrong.

WTF? Get a life.

It's impressive how people that work in Reuters don't have knowledge of anything like that, and your so-veritas "newspapers" have it.

I have seen the same story in The Sun and The Daily Mirror. (OMG, how did I discover your trusted sources?!)

Since it was on itv news tv then Reuters wouldnt have it.

It was a special report.

But I will be damned if I cant find a link somewhere... It shall come!!!

Safe area my arse!!

That rules out about a million goals ever taken from corners due to your lame argument.

Look at it frame by frame.

Look at who jumped at who!!!

As for the Sun and Daily Mirror (although the sun has an article on it) give me some credit will you!!! sheeesh :rolleyes:

Anyway you and me are gonna argue on this till the end of time..

So for the sake of it.. you are right and I am right.

There you go.. everyones happy.

The end.

So gods footie gift to Neowin.. whos gonna win tonight? ;)

So gods footie gift to Neowin... whos gonna win tonight? ;)

Thank you, sir. I am indeed a God! :alien:

By using my divine influence, I am prety sure that the swedish are going to win! For they have brought to Portugal a great team and great women!

:yes:

You bashers dont understand, yet try to present complex arguments that hardly make sense. Its simple, he wouldnt admit his mistake in public because of 2 main reasons:

1. It would cause an uproar of England fans.

2. He would certainly loose his job because of this one mistake.

So he stands by his decision even when he knows hes wrong to show the world "Yes! Im a referee who doesnt regret anything!" and thats what football referees do, they make a decision and they stick to it.

Boy, oh boy...

That really makes sense... if it wasn't one little detail: your player charged our goalkeeper in his area, not allowing him to give himself to the ball which means that there is no mistake and you keep pushing it!

Jesus W. Christ, only the Americans know how to make decent complots, these days... :crazy:

Boring hell no... this game was action packed with both sides having a good defense and offense. It was awesome to watch just because there are no goals doesn't mean that it isn't fun.

The penalties nearly gave me a heart attack but i will NEVER forget the smug face that Van Der Sar gave to the Sweeds when he blocked that shot. That was such an awesome look.

Go Holland

Orange Pride!!!

I thought it was a good game, not comparable to Portugal - England but it wasn't bad... I especially liked the last couple of minutes in the 2nd half and the extra-time... Sweden had some great chances there...

and we dutchies finally got lucky and won penalty kicks after 4 major tournaments... :D :D

Thought some people would like this :whistle:

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
