I cant beliebe this game. Dirtiest game in a world cup ever?

[.mcman]

Im glad Portugal won

I'm not :(

[djpnuemo]

a whole lot could be said about this match. i'm done for the day. all the yelling at the TV has made me tired.

all around disappointment, both teams, all refs. they should null this and have a rematch.

Ever. but for a person thats not cheering for either team, it was good entertainment :rofl:

England has to happy about this, 2 player suspended, Ronaldo is probably injured, Figo might be cited for head butting.

[sin-ergy]

lol

[Pharos]

omg, what kind of game was THAT? LOL!

[RadishTM Veteran]

Man, that was yellow/red card hell - the referee was giving them out like hot cookies.

Radish?

[SIG]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

[L3thal Veteran]

18 yellow cards: World Cup record.

I am truly glad Holland is out (not only because I am Portuguese). They displayed no fair play in the game today and were out there with a mission to severely injure all of Portugal's stars, starting from the third minute with Ronaldo.

Go Portugal!!!!! :D

[djpnuemo]

lol

haha, i just saw that too. absurd!

[theyarecomingforyou]

Both teams played incredibly dirty but I must say I was appalled at the behaviour of Holland. It was embarassing to watch but I think Portugal deserved that win, despite their aggression. The attack on Ronaldo should be classed as assault!

Good thing that an injury took Christiano Ronaldo out of the game. Imagine what would?ve happen with him in the field, the tension, the fights and his temper. :blink::

[Pharos]

Wow, after so many yellow cards and 2 guys down from Portugal, I'm unsure of Portugal's fate next game :no:

[Xantheus]

F***ing unbelievable. THis has to be the most exciting match since the dawn of the world cup, and I think that game was squarely for Holland, no doubt about it.

[Tomo]

16 Yellows, 4 Reds and only 25 fouls!

[tony-inpo]

Not a great match today (England v Ecuador) but at least we're though

[Orange]

:laugh:

Best ****ing game ever!!! BAD ASS game :cool:

I feel bad for the Figo guy i mean against Iran he was kicked in the face and tonight he was elbowed in the face. How many times does this one guy get hit?

England vs Portugal :| will be a fun game :devil:

How can you make an accusation like this? Did you somehow forget that Portugal had just as many cards as Holland!! :angry:

But as a side note: This was one of the most exciting world cup matches I have ever seen.

[Julius Caro]

I'd say the ref sucked, but considering that both teams were dirty, I wouldn't put all the blame on him.

[phedot]

Worst game I ever saw in a World Cup...

Both teams (Netherlands, Portugal and the Referee) were terribly in the game. 16 yellow cards, 4 red cards, OMFG.

The ref was terribly wrong when he sent Deco off, when he didn't sent Boularhouz off and in so many other aspects for both teams.

Both Portugal and Netherlands are in lack of some fair play too...

Too bad I won't be seeing Englalnd - Portugal next saturday :(

EDiT: I'm shaking because of the nerves, so I had some errors in there.

:angry: :angry: :angry: worst referieng i can remember...

holland's playing style (if it can be called that way) was awful

[Krpano]

Noo dude! Even with the crap referees are this year, the worse was definitely 2002.

YES! That was a penalty for sure!

Are you sure it was worst ?

:D

I lost total respect for the Dutch. They have ZERO fairplay and they are sore losers.

Agree.

I have one thing to add

Shame on you Netherlands

First to create such game, and second to your fair play.

For 2 times the portugueses had to stop the game for injured players and you didnt give the ball back to them.

You just show your "fairplay" worldwide for some millions of spcetator.

Now pack you **** gear and go home watch the WC on TV.

Portugal had more cards!

By the way did anyone see Simao kick Van Der Sar in the face? That looked like it hurt :pinch:
