you guys are just plain stupid. That goal has been broken down countless times and it was a goal. I have seen the footage...the lines used to be made of CHALK back then and when the ball came down, no chalk came into the air, proving it landed behind the line. Besides, the next one went in cleanly enough to make it 4-2.

LOL. What a stupid argument! Notice that if the ball landed outside, it would not have hit chalk either.

and Ronaldo fell over every time an English player came near him, did it again against Holland, did it all season for Man United and will continue to do it unless something is done. This kind of crap ruins the game.

Btw, notice how I don't argue about Portugals diving, etc.. I do agree that they were playing dirty in some situations. Having said that, they did outplay England, and they simply humiliated Holland. They way I see it they deserve to be in the final, even despite their dirty tricks.

Please read my posts !

but that isn't the argument on the German side (they don't really argue about it anyway)...every camera angle shows the ball either landing clearly ON the line or just behind it. the BBC and an American company have broken the footage down before to prove it was a goal. Have you ever even SEEN the footage...it clearly did not bounce before the line. Besides, the linesman was in perfect position for the call and he made the correct one. And again, the score was 4-2.

Well, that was England's 3rd goal. Had it been disallowed, they might not have scored the 4th - it would've been a totally different game.

Well, obviously the BBC would be interested in proving the goal correct - they are a UK based company. In anycase, I'm willing to believe you if you can send me a link confirming what you are saying.

BTW, I did see the footage. Didn't look like a goal to me.

I saw it on TV last year...I'm sure if you look on google, you'll find something. Besides, you keep saying how Portugal deserved to win the England/Holland games...well, England deserved to beat Germany in 66. The Germans didn't even muster a shot against England in extra time...their only hope was penalties. England was all over them...they could have had 5 ET goals.

Look on google already. Haven't found anything.

I haven't seen the full game, only that controversy. So you might be right, i'm not going to argue.

In anycase, England got the benefit of the doubt that game as they were the host nation. Host nations have always gotten benefits of the doubt. Whether it should be like this is debatable, but at least it's always been like that. That's one of the advantages of being a home team.

Ok...WTF just happened here?

Greece and Portugal in the finals???

How could the Czechs lose???!?! Oh god Toronto will turn into mad - pride freaks...

I saw the re-broadcast of Czech/Greece last night. Seemed like Greece was playing monkey in the middle. The Czechs dominated the game but unfortunately couldn't make the finish. Well.. Greece will get their asses kicked by Portugal on Sunday. my prediction 3-0
