Only have watching Portugal get knocked out next to look forward too. Can't wait to see that smug look knocked off Ronaldo's face....don't think he'll be in a rush to get home to Manchester do you!

oh, me too.

he's gonna go back to his hotel and blow ricardo, those fags.

I really don't like talking on a team after they lost, so sorry England. However, what bothers me is that from the poll on the main page:

World Cup '06 is for

England 135

+

Poll on Topic:

England 126

What's wrong with that is, all those with england nominated England to win the world cup, not because of their play but because of the love to the team. And if you notice the questions posted above, they ask for who is going to win the world cup, and not what team do you cheer for. I myself am with Italy, but i nominated Germany to win. So what I am trying to say is that you mustn't be very sure of your team, because that is somewhat biased. And if the admins don't mind, it is much better to remove the banner on the main page, not that it is annoying, but since they lost, removing it is the wise choice.

Again, here are my expecations:

1-Italy vs. Ukraine (Winner=Italy) > correct

2-Germany vs. Argentina (Winner=Germany) > correct

3-England vs. Portugal (Winner=Portugal) > correct

4-Brazil vs. France (Winner=Brazil)

5-Italy vs. Germany (Winner=Germany)

6-Brazil vs. Portugal (Winner=Brazil)

7-Brazil vs. Germany (World Cup Winner=Germany)

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*.

Unlucky England, shame they couldn't get through. Although im surprised Portugal couldn't win it in normal time, or extra time. They had the man advantage but couldn't capitalise on it.

Well done to them for winning though. But it will be the last game they win in this tournament :whistle:

From the BBC, it looks like the ref sent Rooney off because of the push! The ref's face was straight until Rooney pushed Ronaldo. England are an honest team and never place any pressure on the ref's in any games.

RIP

We completely deserved that match man.

We did well, i knew we was gonna lose if it went to penalties though, especially with no Beckham, Owen or Rooney
