Portugal v. England
Robbed, just robbed.
To quote terraces everywhere, ref, get your effing eyes chalked!

Well England did score more goals than Portugal. I know I'm not a football expert, but I was under the impression that this normally counts as a win...

I want to leave nasty comments on that board of his but I think that would be immature 
I know everyone says its just a game, but it's your country, to me its more than a game. Plus the fact, we were robbed.
I just say "WELL DONE" to getting to the Quarter Finals!

No, go and post. If you're a referee and you have a website with a guestbook then you're just asking for trouble

Pierluigi Collina has his own website and guestbook and he doesn't get any abusive messages left - oh of course, I forgot he isn't a blind Swiss ****er

Absolutely gutted.
That ref was abysmal. Is it true that he is reffing the final?
I now hope that Portugal go on to win the tournament. Whilst it was extremely disappointing last night I have to say Portugal played extremely well.
Also - WHAT WAS WITH THAT PENALTY SPOT?????

I can't really say anything because it disintergrates into swearing and mumbling! God damn ref *mumble mumble* 
Posted: 20:18 Jun 25 2004
Im even more in shock.
The top ranking team have been knocked out by people who had never even scored in a euro torniment!
What a joke.

Personally I'm backing Sweden now. Although I won't actually bother watching any more games. Except possibly for the final. Maybe.

Tell me who you think will win the semi's so I can put bets on the other teams

Oh to be flamed...
Owen's goal was brilliant..really well taken and I thought he had a good game. He didn't combine well with Vassel though but I think thats more Darius' fault than Michael's. Once Rooney went off though England were shambolic. They were stunted in attack and it was only a matter of time before Portugal scored. Figo's sulk when he was taken off was hysterical although I did think he was playing well, Portugal lost their rhythm when Figo went off and didn't start playing well again till Rui Costa came on and took up where Figo left off..I wonder if Figo will start the semi?
So do I think that Campbell's goal should have stood? Hmm, I do feel that Terry was obstructing the keeper, you can clearly see his arm holding the keeper down *but* I feel he was only going for the ball. It's a very harsh decision but if you go by the letter of the law then Terry was fouling the goalie and the ref made the right call. A difficult call to make.
Extra time and again Portugal seemed to dominate. Costa's goal was fantastic, candidate for goal of the tournament and I was glad Lampard scored, he's so under-appreciated at Chelsea and for England. The penalty's were hilarious. I knew Beckham was going to miss, he is crap at penaltys and should never be allowed to take them. Felt sorry for Vassell but it was a great save rather than a poor penalty. Thought it was a bit off of Ricardo to take the winning penalty though.
Am I glad England are out? Yeah

Right, well in the semis I think Portugal and Denmark will lose (I've forgotten the two teams that they're playing
). Though it might not work unless I'm actively supporting them, and since I don't really care about anyone that's left I can't support anyone now. Sorry to spoil your money-making scheme.
