Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

the damn argentinian referee was obviously biased towards portugal. this whole damn thing was unfair :(

Yes, England always get screwed some how and some way. Euro 2004 all over again...

That ref needs an eye check, as usual just like any Spanish or Portugese speaking team they act like a bunch of cry babys and play dirty. Argentian referee was biased majorly typical I say I hope FIFA kick him out.

I feel sorry for any Portugese fans tonight as the English fans will proberly kill them.

To be perfectly honest, England SHOULD have won that. They were by far the better team. I think the ref was biased, and there are so many dirty cheating tards on that portugese team it's unbelieveable, especially Ronaldo *shudders*.

Yes mate we should of won that at least 1 goal and Ronaldo what a dick he is, ****ing retard player hope Brazil beats France then thrash Portugal 5 - 0 :angry: :angry: :angry:

And Ronaldo had it in for Wayne Rooney, wish Wayne Rooney kicked the **** out of GAY RONADLDO. ****ing child :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

I thought the booking was unfair, though Rooney was a prat for attacking another player. England played well for a man down, though it's not really a surprise that Portugal won. Still, Ronaldo should be chucked off a cliff for all his over-the-top overacting - he is a disgrace to the game.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

"by far the better team" :laugh:

... :huh: yes, by far the better team, i.e. they were the better team on that pitch.

The score doesn't matter jack in terms of how the team played. England were far better than Portugal in that match. Period.

How to sum that one up?

For 60 minutes no team dominated, there was some poor play by both sides, unfortunately as has been the primary highlight of this world cup, unfair play and poor refereeing decided the game.

Rooney was out of order, there was no question. You don't accidentally stamp on someones nuts. End of.

The disgrace that was C. Ronaldo took over from that point. I have never seen such a poor excuse for a man. I sincerely hope for his sake that he gets a transfer away from man utd and from english football. As a liverpool fan I cant stand Man U, but he really does not deserve to wear the shirt of one of the best teams in england (grudgingly said). To go down every time the wind blows is one thing, to actually run to the ref to try to get a club mate sent off is entirely another. Then to wink at the bench in a slight celebration is simply disgusting.

Congratulations to Portugal, well done for qualifying and for being better at penalties than England. We really never stood a chance when it went to pens, we never do, but thats our own fault.

However, If I was a portugal fan I would have a slighly bitter taste in my mouth at the way that certain members of the countries team performed. It is after all a sport.......much less could be said of some players.

England were crap. Simple fact.

4-5-1 is the worst tactic they can play and playing Rooney up front on his own is pure idiociy... roll on Steve McClaren...

no england wasnt worst. een with 10 men it was obviously better!

we're going home :'(

Rooney was out of order, there was no question. You don't accidentally stamp on someones nuts. End of.

He was sent off for pushing, which is a ****ing disgrace of a decision. Watch the replays and you will see. The stamp was out of order though.

... :huh: yes, by far the better team, i.e. they were the better team on that pitch.

The score doesn't matter jack in terms of how the team played. England were far better than Portugal in that match. Period.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

whatever floats your boat...

u guys r sore losers anyway... we beat u fairly...
