Originally posted by Siesta I think it was a good action, the Portu's weren't sympath too (figo's action etc). and if heitinga had give the ball back. Holland could have wait for another 20 min because the portu's weren't very fast to throw the ball in the field. IT was very very weak to see, in every 5 min, one player of portugal was "injured". Only 52 min were played in this match, all because those arrogant, unsympath and ugly player from portugay.

Indead, why should he even thought of Fair Play while you play against such a team as Portugal. The refereekick was given after the Portugese keeper did a nice Hollywood play and Deco (?) just played further while the Dutch wanted to play the ball outside the field to give Ricardo some time.

The action of Heitinga was the only good thing to do, the attack on him should have been red, at least the whole country here sees him as a hero after this great action

And Boularouz was even better, he did what the whole country wanted: a whining Ronaldo, Boula should get a statue for this

Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 Man, when have England players been accused of diving all the time? Does Rooney dive? Beckham? Terry? No they do not.

John terry's diving against ecuador was laughable, the one where he was running for the ball going into the corner with an ecuador player and his back and he flung himself to the ground without being touched, no doubt you never seen that one? For a centre back to go down so easily was quite incredible. I notice you never mentioned owen, who isn't adverse to the odd dive here or there and then yes, steven gerrard who's diving antics seem to be condoned by the english.

Granted the england players dont dive as often as some, but you talk as tho your national team is exempt from it altogether. AS the last world cup showed, if there's the chance of a penalty, and an opposing player comes near one of your players, then they will not hesitate to fall over.

and how much success in the sporting world has that class got them?

hes also the exact opposite of another aspect that british sportsmen lack and that is - having the will to win & settling for nothing less. The only man who is remotely close to that in the team is Steven Gerrard and you can see what a difference he has made in the world cup.

Rooney isn't content with ne game he has played in unless he scored in it. Its no wonder that britain have put their hopes on his shoulders because as of now hes the only bright spark in what has been a mediocre outfit so far.

The foul on Owen in 2002 against Argentina was pretty blatant. Colingi (Colinga?) was a great referee and he saw no doubts there so I don't know what you're on about there. You can always tell a dive when the arms go flailing in the air, like the Spanish guy today. I don't recall Owen doing that. You're right about Gerrard though...I"ve seen him take belly flops for Liverpool a few times.

Anyway, I"m not saying England players don't embellish. They all do! But they are nowhere near the league of the other, well known nations who are quite theatrical.

Originally posted by sr126 he's more like a bull in a china shop. sure he doesn't have a rep for diving, but he is no gentleman. to me he looks more like he's playing rugby instead of football, then whines when he doens't get a call when people return the favor. he's going out of his way in building up serious bad karma points. i don't think anybody should try to defend his style of playing. i can understand that he's eager, and wants to do things for his team. but he's a poor sport. he's the exact opposite of what most british people are known for, CLASS.

I didn't know football was a gentlemen's game though! I think that's reserved for cricket and golf! Rooney plays physical and that's a lot of his strength and the intimidation factor on defenders is significant. He's forceful and commits some fouls, but he isn't dirty and I don't think he moans. I just feel that football is becoming less and less of a semi contact sport, which is unfortunate. You can hardly tackle anymore, even if you do get the ball first.

Favorite moment of the game.. lol

Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 yeah I know, I'm just loving the hate on for Portugal and a lot of their fans right now, that's all. We'll set them straight for you guys on Saturday. I'd like to see Figo try to headbutt Wayne Rooney. He might not survive the rest of the match.

Indeed, with Rooney as a striker and Figo as a defender they will be at each other's throats throughout the match.
