And whats the matter with Maniche celebration...I've did he take his shirt off? I don't think so... Did I went directly into the crowd? I don't think so... The truth is, I've seen other players do the same in this WC and no one complained ;)

i just meant, i was surprised he wasn't booked after all the other bookings that he had given out.

The only thing you have to your advantage is Figo's mini head butt, which by the way, took the Dutch player 6 seconds to realize he was touched and then fell like he fainted from the hit :rolleyes:

Very good point. Deco was red-carded for being thrown on the floor :no:

I honestly don't care. I was more worried of Holland than of England. I just laugh every time I think of England and the way they have played.

Brazil v Portugal - now THAT's scary :wacko:

Figo head butt - red card end of story - violent conduct

deco was red carded for taking the ball and not letting the opposition play the ball.

Its sad that no fair play was exhibited by the Dutch two times when Portugal kicked the ball out to have a player assisted AND when the ref paused the game for an injury and had a "face off" in midfield with the Dutch refusing to give the ball back.

They didn't deserve to progress :no:

That was a sour point, and if I remember right, it may have been the catalyst for everything that followed. Still, that was no reason for Deco to make the tackle from behind, and he did the same thing some time later when he refused top give the ball back to Cocu, which resulted in his sending off.

You're right though, that the Dutch didn't deserve to progress. They had by far the more of the ball and a ridiculous number of chances to score (20 I think), and they didn't. So no, they don't deserve to progress.

In the end, it turned into a match of ###### for tat, which was sad. Until all the cards started being thrown about, it was a great match.

Leaving all this talk aside, I think we overlooked something. Deco sat side by side with Gio V. Bronckhurst after Gio was red-carded while the match was finishing and they were talking and joking.

Now that is fair play from both (regardless if they are teammates) :)

England may not have played convincing as of yet, but we have a thing called class which is non-existant so far in Portugal's team. I find it hilarious that every Portugese fan can't find any fault in their game today.

Yes, your fans have class as well, causing disturbances during the Germany - Sweden game :rolleyes:

you are absolutely correct!

i find it hilarious when every 'portugal-hater' (like you england fans just cuz we defeated u in 2004) cant admit that holland was by far the team with less fair play...

lol @ most of L3thal's comments...

Both teams were awful in terms of discipline, Figo's headbutt (which I hope FIFA takes retrospective action on, despite the yellow card. I hope that they might not adhere to the double-jepody rule as the referee didn't see the infringment yet issued a yellow) as that is dispicable, the push from the Dutch player after a foul, the throwing Deco to the ground...

I'm all-in-all disgusted at both team's actions, and I'm especially disgusted with the Ref's behaviour. He should never be allowed to take charge of a FIFA game again with a performance like that.

Wow this thread is hot. lol.

the only "brazillian" player is deco...

Can Brazil and Portugal meet before the final? Don;t have the fixture list at hand. That would be something to watch..

I think that Portugal can defeat England, even without Deco. England have been far from impressive.

And seeing Gio van B. and Deco together at the end was good. Misery loves company, no ;)

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
