ENGLAND 3
PORTUGAL 1
(OWEN 1, ROONEY 1, BECKHAM 1)
BAHAHAHA COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRITISH FANS ARE THE BEST FANS!!
-
2-1 england
deco to score 1st
beckham and rooney to win the game
-
possibly. good odds on one of those 2 doing it..
i'mma go for 1-0 to england, scorer owen, assist by becks and rooney..
i think they're gonna be marking rooney like crazy..
i really want owen to start getting into gear... i'd like cole or vassell to notch up a goal..
scholes getting another would be great so soon after clearing his drought.. he really perked up after scoring in that last game. just wish he'd lay off the late tackles.. he's gonna get sent off doing that in a tourney like this.
-
2-1 to portugal
-
Good point, they will mark Rooney out the game and Owen will break thru.

2 mins 24 secs owen scores!!! :o
-
< - chanting UP UP UP everytime figo gets a free kick ;)
-
i think portugal will win after penalty's, it'll be 2-2
james fuckes up 5 mins for the end signal
-
damn, it pisses me off so bad i can't see this.
-
so you dont know rooney tweaked his ankle in the 27th.. he's off being xrayed...
vassell is on in his place.. i like him :)
-
< - chanting UP UP UP everytime figo gets a free kick ;)
:D ;)
yea he's not what he used to be when it comes to free kicks. deco should be doing them. oh well.
the only way england is gonna lose this is james fuckin up (again). james sucks.
-
portugal will win 4-0...
-
^ bit silly considering england 1-0 up! :)
btw if it stays like this,...
i predicted the score and scorer 8)
-
they equalised before..
we got one, but the ref disallowed.... wtf was that!!?!
we gotta win..
-
damnit man, goal @ 83' England always loses it at the end. STAY STRONG ENGLAND
-
oh dear god......2-1...... :'(
-
2-2!!
penalties now ! :-[
they said portugal goalie is good at saving them :( :(
-
and he was.. he got one..
we lose on penalties.. boooo :(
that goal will be argued :(
-
damn sorry england. amazing game though, fun to watch!
-
sorry for england.... yall always have problems with penalties..... wonder whatwill happen to sven goran.... obviously it wasnt his fault this time
-
svengland will live on.. unless his contract is up.
i dont think they will blame him so much.
that ref will prob get beat up though..
beckham will get slagged.. vassell.. i hope not...
that ref will most of all for disallowing that goal.
if it had finished 2-1... i think our fans would have torn portugal to bits..
oh and not sure about rooney.. sure that will have a big impact on the coverage.. but it might not as it doesnt really matter now.
when world cup qualifiers start? lol
-
one of the best games... ever.
woah. incredible. unprecedented. just unprecedented.
I feel so damn sorry for Beckham. He made a real good game with great effort.
-
Holy shit, that was a crazy game.. :o :o
Deco & Rui Costa was sick and Simbrao impressed.. Portugal got some strong defenders..
Lampard & Campbell was the most impressive Brits, but England should have kept attacking, instead of letting Portugal get all the attacks, Portugal had 65% possession..
I think Campbell's goal was correctly disallowed, Terry had his hand on Ricardo's shoulder and pushing him..
Wonder why Heskey wasn't put on, could have added some weight to the attack..
-
i think heskey didnt come on because of how long we were up in the game.. and had already subbed too much..
-
Sol Campbell & Ashley Cole were the best players on the pitch by far.
The goal should have stood. Terry was NOT pushing the keeper.
Heskey? after the France game? you have to be joking.
-
Damn, that was an amazing game...
I must say that Becks missing his pen seemed to sum up his tournament (as I believe one of the BBC commentators said). I think all these allegations surrounding his personal life has caused some real torment for him and has certainly affected his game. As 'Seer said, the media will have a field day with that and will probably be quick to pronounce his career over.
Rooney's absence was certainly felt and I can't help but wonder what would have happened if he had been able to take a pen. As for Vassel, I feel truly sorry for him - its no constolation but at least he didn't sky the ball.
Still, Portugal played a good game and were worthy victors.
-

Oh yeah, forgot about Ashley Cole, he kept Ronaldo under total control..
Heskey made a freekick, so what, Owen & Vassell was featherweights against Portugals strong defenders..
With Rooney injured, Heskey is the ONLY big/strong attacker in the squad..
-
Ok, I sound like a bitter bitch but we where "robbed".
We sat back and let Portugal attack us, ok if I were England manager I wouldn't of done that but that ws Svens game plan and we where doing a dam good job of it. Sols goal was fine, ok Terry was in there but you cant expect him to go running out of the way to make it easy for the keeper. The keeper tried to jump and when he realised he wasn't gunna get there he threw himself to the ground. The ref was all over their dick for the whole game, awful.
I know this sounds like a dumbass thing to say but if anybody thinks that penalty spot was up to scratch they are dumbasses. Fucking players had to jump on it to flattend it for fucks sake. Ok it could of gone either way but I think the pens should of been taken at the other end. The pen spot looked like pastry fof gods sake, Beckham and Vassells kicks where scuffs.
Anyway I'm proud of the boys, theres no shame to going out on penalties. We didnt go out without a fight, we had the odds against us with the ref (as per usual) and we gave it are all. Fucking Qatar could beat Brazil on pens cos thats just the way it is. Well done England!

I'm not sure you have ever seen Emile Heskey play football. He has NO pace whatsoever. The England midfield went missing for most of the game so Vassell and Owen got almost no service.
Where was Beckham? The sort of game when England need him and he doesn't do a thing. Didn't even give an interview at the end of the match and that's our captain.

You're right in one way..
Campbell would NEVER have that goal disallowed in the Premier League..
But internationally, it's different.. the bar for getting freekicks in Serie A and Primera Division is much lower, and so has it been in this championship..
Not as bad as Serie A, but somewhere between PL & Serie A, and this time England suffered from it..
I know I'd be pissed if it was Norway, getting disallowed goals minutes before end is always a slap in the face..
-

You're missing the point..
When Vassell and Owen (both fast) can't compete with a fast Portugese defense, you need STRENGTH.
Heskey isn't fast, but he got EVERYTHING England needed in this game; air-strength & weight on top..
With all the corners & freekicks England had, this game would have been perfect for him.
Owen & Vassel is WAY too similar..
-
Havent watched alot of soccer considering i am from Canada, and its all about Football, hockey, and bball .......but that was a great game, i find it HILARIOUS that David Beckham fucked England over, he is a great technical player but he is not worthy of all the hype, he is all we here about over here. That Hargreaves kid is from Calgary, about two hours from here too, it was dope to see him score on penalty kick. Very good game, i just wish these guys didnt dive all the time, they all seem like pussies to me lol
-
i think portugal will win after penalty's, it'll be 2-2
james fuckes up 5 mins for the end signal
damn....
-
we were robbed like bez said, we should have won in the 90 mins that goal should have been alowed. i wish i never went to the pub it got way too rowdy.

bez.. in the interview owen said they practiced pens at the other end the day before, and it was just as bad....

Frank Lampard said England's players were "gutted" after their dramatic Euro 2004 penalty shoot-out exit against hosts Portugal.
And he led the complaints about referee Urs Meier's decision to disallow a last-minute "goal" from Sol Campbell.
"We didn't play our best but we worked very hard at certain stages to get back into the game," he said.
"And we had a goal at full time that was basically a fair goal taken away. There was nothing wrong with it."
Sven-Goran Eriksson, who insists he will stay on as England coach, is due to speak to the media at 1230 BST.
And the squad will fly home to Luton on Friday evening.
Lampard, scorer of England's extra-time equaliser on 115 minutes, admitted it had been a struggle to contain Portugal at times.
We had our chances to win the game and we didn't take them
John Terry
But he said England had shown enough mental strength to merit victory.
"We showed great character (after Campbell's disallowed strike) even though the lads were obviously knackered, we came back into it and then got beaten on penalties. What can you say?"
Lampard's team-mate John Terry also insisted Campbell's header should have stood.
"I didn't think it was a foul and neither did Sol," he said.
"Michael Owen saw the replay and people back home also said it definitely wasn't a foul. If that had gone in, we would have been through to the next stage.
ENGLAND'S SHOOT-OUT MISERY
World Cup 1990: Pearce and Waddle miss as West Germany win semi-final on penalties
Euro 96: Blushes for Southgate as another last-four defeat to Germany spoils Wembley party
World Cup 1998: Ince and Batty are denied as Argentina reach last eight in France
Euro 2004: Not again! This time Beckham and Vassell blow it to send Portugal through
"It's terrible. The linesman gave it and the referee overruled him. We're so disappointed. We're just gutted that we're not through.
"We didn't get much luck from the referee. He wasn't great but we had our chances to win the game and we didn't take them."
Defender Gary Neville said defeat on penalties was a bitter pill to swallow.
"It's three times for me now. I suppose the cynics will say it is a mental thing and this and that," he said.
Why can we not use video replays or whatever technology is around to ensure a fair result?
From Ian
"It was as much down to the penalty spot as anything. When you get into that it is a lottery. When David Beckham took his penalty the spot just gave way.
"Rui Costa and John Terry had the same problem. If you look at John Terry's penalty he was fortunate. He actually aimed to put it in the other corner.

LOL @ Portugals goalkeeper removing his gloves & scoring 30 seconds later, that was my highlight ;D I feel sorry for Vassell though :-\
-
What a game! What a result!
I cant tell you how happy I am that portugal won. It was real rowdy in the pub here because there was a small group of english supporters and a pub full of portugal supporters. I have to say tho, portugal deserved to win by far- they were attacking the whole game. I hate ashley cole but he had a great game. I'm unsure about the dissallowed goal but i thought portugal scored one too when the ball crossed the line but we never got to see it coz they scored just after.
At least there'll be no more gloating on the english stations - tho sky news are blaming everyone but themselves already. The english put up a good fight but they had no leader or anyone to hold the ball.
finally to the tune of "footballs coming home"
They're going home
They're going home
Theyre going
ENGLANDS GOING HOME!
WAHHHHEEEYYY
sorry had to do it

The refs at this tourny (and the last world cup) have been diabolical, including the English ref, last nights ref was a fucking homer, he bottled everything.
Im a Swede for the rest of the tournament.
-
haha quality game, england played shit still, people need to start giving credit to how well portugal keep hold of the ball and how wack england is at doing that shit, tryna live off 1-0 nill is a pussy move to me, rui costa scored a quality goal! great game for ahsley cole no doubt, but u gotta giv credit to ronaldo to as he never stopped runnin........ashley cole played sick though, but england need to learn how to pass a ball first in my opinion, once they scored they couldnt get the ball off portugal. deco is a annoying muthafucka, he always chooses the wrong pass, deco out, rui costa back in next game!lol........and simao off the bench later on again, played well in that game
oh and france fucked up to, seeeeeeeeeeeeeen seeeeeeeeeeeen

Hahaha, i know that only too well, but the best consolation for that fact is seeing england crash out, especially after the hype in the build up to it.
-
We did well though really. LOL at Scottish and Irish people cheering when we get knocked out. Funny. Stick to what your good at, Ireland - Killing each other, making bombs and collecting four leaf clovers and Scotland - Eating haggis, still using William Wallaces win over the English as a come back even thought it was like 500 years ago or some shit and nobody actually even new the tale until the film was brought out, and producing poor football teams.
Criticise when you can motherfuckers.
-
deco is a annoying muthafucka, he always chooses the wrong pass, deco out, rui costa back in next game!lol....
LoL, now we're talking..
You just can not have a player like that on the bench..
He's as good as Figo, but a little slower..
They both got that sick "wait for the defender to tackle, and just flip the ball to one side" move that makes defenders dizzy..

Best amusement of being in U.K.:
Asking a Brit what he thinks off Scotsmen & Irishmen or asking a Scot about what he thinks of Brits.. ;D
-
Sad but true Jome.
Oh by the way, Deco is good but he is no Figo, even though Figo himself is waaaaaay overrated. Oh and I can also do that defender thing, I'm not a bad player for real.
-
any1 see the interview with campbell? he said if it had been the other way round he believed the portugese would've had their goal allowed
-
damn how do you waste a shot like that... shit looks like he did it on purpose (even tho he didnt)
