and yes, england might have been robbed, but we were the ones that deserved to win.
and rooney's unfortunate injury made things easier for us. shame on that, i hope he recovers quickly, he's a great player with a great future in front of him. |

Oh I'm sure in World Cup 06 we will win again only to have it taken away by Urs Meier. He's seems to like doing it so why stop now.
Portugal should thank their lucky stars. They don't deserve to win. England does. They beat them in 89th minute everybody saw it. You just don't want to admit that it was a bad call. |
And the black armbands were to tight. |

Another England penalty shoot out, another England loss - some things dont change it seems...
Great game, loved it- full of action and drama, Portugal played well: kudos to them.
Maybe I am biased but I feel that Campbell goal was totally legitimate assuming the refereee thinks Campbell fouled someone (which he didnt). Even if he did call a foul on Terry that was a mistake as well. So I am assuming there was a foul somewhere else, perhaps when Owen made the initial header?
Anyways, that is no reason for England to sit back and defend a 1 goal lead the whole game like they did. And what the was up with that penalty spot? Weird.
Strike 1, Rooney injury, Stike 2, Disallowed Goal, Strike 3, Beckham miss. You're out. |

Well mates...I'm still in tears. Robbed again, just like 98 on a beauty of a goal by Sol Campbell. That was NOT goalie interference...I think it's obvious that UEFA was favouring Portugal, as seen in the calls....disgusting.
I think Rooney coming out on injury was the worst thing that could have happened...now I hear his foot is broken.:confused: But...leave it to Beckham and James to ruin it for England again. I know Beckham is great, but he has played like e this tournament and has cost us again....David James is an awful goalie, i'm sure of it now. Standing there on the tying goal and useless at penalties. Seaman would have saved two of those penalties, I'm sure of it.
Another heartbreaking loss for the Three Lions...I think 2006 may be our last decent shot for awhile, but I think reality has hit home very hard....we're just not that good. |

What about Paul Robinson? he played like a rock for Leeds that one season when they went to the semis of the Champ league but he hardly got called into the first team. Weird.
Although I am not English I love supporting England because they have so many faults about them, such an "underdog" aura evertime they play. Ever since I was a kid I loved the drama in their games and the fact they play with their heart on their sleeves.
It's too easy to support Brazil, France, blah blah... |

well, nice to see you come around mate. It was a game for the ages, but I think most of know it should have ended in regulation. Sol's goal was fair...England always get the short end of the stick. Collini would not have made that call.
The linesman POINTED to the net for 's sake! ARGGGG...it's just so disheartening. But at least the fans didn't go on a rampage, or not just yet. On to WC 2006...where we'll fail again I'm sure. It's time for me to get drunk now. |
