Sorry Corinna, I feel the Italians will prevail

Keep a sharp eye on the ref and cry foul if he takes bribes from the Italians! :evil:

sad to hear archy. I didn't get to see the game but I just saw the news on my google page.

Mentos: you're going to the final game?! How insane is that?! It will be one helluva party.

seriously england V portugal was dyer! i was constantly shouting run at them! utter disgracefull! Im suprised we got to penaltys.

out of curiousity, does anyone else feel the referees are always bias and never at least equal when england are playing? or are we just more honest and dont flayel around the floor over nothing at all?

Arch · Jul 1, 2006

ok i'v calmed enough to talk rationally about tit now,......
to all those who didnt see the game........ basically, we wern't playing great to start with.... but then neither were portugal..... then in the 60summin min..... wayne rooney (one of our best players) gets sent off for summin stupid...... then it was us 10 against 11 Portuguese..... and we held on to the game brilliantly for the remaining hour (including extra time)...... and even had the best chances of scoring......
Then it went to a penalty shootout to decide the game...... horrible to watch.... and we fluffed it...... :irked:

the outcome of this is cristiano ronaldo is now the most hated player in England (and he playes his club football here

)..... for being such a cocky arse... winding our players up and scoring the final penalty with a smirk on his face....... and we need to practice our penalty taking..... because this seems to happen everytime we enter an international tournament.

To answer your question fotophia...... the english tend to not flayel around on the floor as much as most other countries..... and yes..... alot of the time refs will give free kicks for this type of behaviour........ we just dont like cheeting

oh well..... im behind France all the way now..... only way i'll win the loot

... plus i would quite like to see them do well.
However if brazil beat them tonight..... im just gonna have to except this is a bad day

This sucks big time!!! I had England and Brazil going on. Wow! Two huge surprises, at least in my pool.

Well, it seems like the refs made some ugly calls at this FIFA World Cup and Rooney's red card was not necessary, really. In the heat of the game one might step on the adversary unintentionally and that's how I saw it. I didn't think he did it on purpose. However, England needed to run on all cylinders and it couldn't, including the PKs. Too bad, would've loved to see Rooney and Beckham go on. Brazil? In a way it's not surprising, they haven't played too well and yeah, Ronaldo is getting older and slower. Their superior ability to move the ball didn't lead to a victory today, France had a much better team work being done and they won. Zidane is still the man!

Now I have to wait until Tuesday???

Arch · Jul 1, 2006

yeeeeeeaaaaaa......... go france!...... a small compensation for me..... i thought i was in for an unlucky day..... so i could still win the loot...... but i'd trade it for england to still be in.

Anyway, france played really well...... Zidane showing off his genius again

mentos_007 · Jul 1, 2006

yeah!!! the continent rocks!!!! FRANCE, GERMANY, PORTUGAL AND ITALY in quarter finals!!! Brazil - go home... Englad - home as well!!! yeah!!!!

sorry folks with England... you did deserve to stay!

'Daniel' · Jul 1, 2006

France are my second team. I am happy they won.

Zidane kills the whole football world. Shame he's retiring.

GoM · Jul 1, 2006

From my DA Journal....sums it all up, really

-----

Complaint The First : Sven, a 4-5-1? With an English team? The country that invented the 4-4-2, where Rooney and Crouch play best together as a partnership, and where we actually create chances? What, we don't want that? Oh...ok...

Complaint The Second : Harsh call on Rooney. I've seen tons of stuff like that this World Cup (Holland-Portugal game anyone?) where more got off for less, so a straight red for a push, when Figo got a yellow for a minor headbutt, and Sneijder got a yellow for absolutely ravaging Petit or whoever it was? Yeah, okay, bud.

Complaint The Third : Don't quite know what we had to do to score. Down a man, with our best all-around player red carded (though Hargreaves had a surprisingly awesome game), and we still outplayed Portugal. Yet missed the net. Alot.

Complaint The Fourth : Penalty kicks.....not so bad this time as the last two, simply because we flat out got beat by Ricardo and Robinson just guessed wrong. So not really a complaint per se.

Well, I don't expect England to win much with McClaren, but I'd certainly prefer him to Sven. Thought that before the match, and I think that now. Begone, you twinkly-eyed comatose bugger.
