[+Peewee210 Subscriber¹]

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...

[giga Veteran]

This may seem kind of n00bish, but the world cup is held every 4 years right? :huh: :huh:

Yes. Next is in 2010 in South Africa.

[Sn00pY]

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...

[Elliot B.]

England has died!

Nope, we're still here.

Please bear in mind this is an English speaking forum.

[AppleDave Veteran]

My bad :)

it's okay, you've gotten enough crap from the rest of the board now :laugh:

You guys cannot blame this match on the refs

[C]

Nope, we're still here.

Please bear in mind this is an English speaking forum.

So?

Please bear in mind that if we use English it is for the influence of the USA not for England.

C?sar.

[madnuke]

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.

it's okay, you've gotten enough crap from the rest of the board now :laugh:

[Juancho]

[PT 13]

I never thought Ricardo could do that!

| PROUD TO BE PORTUGUESE! |

Ricardo ? magico:DD

GO PORTUGAL!!!

[Orange]

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:

[theyarecomingforyou]

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.

"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.

[AppleDave Veteran]

Atleast you guys have a good team to watch, I'm stuck with the freaking USA National team.

i root for braZil anyway, ronaldinho is my boy.

[benten2000]

Well there's a suprise England not winning teehee

And great news about Rooney, ohh how I laughed :)

[SQ1]

The pole is wrong, England will not win the cup :p

Portugal continues... :D

[laz45]

Go Brasil, I hope you win the World Cup 2006!!!!!

[spa2k]

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.

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

[Romario Brazil]

Goodbye England :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Never saw such a worst team

:rofl:

bye England

:whistle:

[FiB3R]

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.

[L3thal Veteran]

Yea!!! Portugal! I want to see everyone talk down Portugal now!

About time the Brits go on vacation; bunch of trash talkers.

[BAW]

Portugal cheated us out of a fair game, you didnt deserve to win...your players are true cheats and a disgrace to the game of football

[takecare]

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

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[spa2k]

So?

C?sar.
