i dont think we were watching the same match! the ref certainly wasnt biased in favour of england, he gave niggly fouls against england constantly... hargreaves and terry were 2 victims + the portuguese goal was a good yard offside, the ref blew early and the english players stopped, robinson didnt even go to save the ball... so that hardly indicates dominance. if the ref was going to be biased in favour of england why did he send rooney off? or why didnt he give lennon that penalty appeal (which was a fair tackle, but im sure you see my point). portugal had more shots and a bit more posession, but thats to be expected after a team goes down to 10 men. before the sending off it was a scrappy affair with each side having spells of dominance... when lennon came on the game swung englands way and we were dictating the rhythm and tempo... the sending off ensured portugal would have more posession but we still created and in fairness either side could have won... hence why it went to penalties. id never expect a statement like that from you rossy mate! i support england because im english, i cant chop and change teams even when i want to... id support us still if we were bottom of the rankings. besides, on your logic you'd be supporting brazil if you went for the better pre-tournament teams... they were just as dissapointing as england... and argentina and spain played the best footy when it kicked off yet went home early... by englands standards it was poor, and sven has to shoulder blame for years of bad tactics and bizarre selecions... we have some excellent players and we will always be contenders. we were unlucky but we'll be back for the euro's in 2 years and world cup in 4
Brazil are going to win this worldcup by a landslide, and I'll be supporting them every minute of the way. If not, argentina or France, I'm not bothered. I think that the problem with the offside rule is that we don't really need it.
Yes I'm for real and I'm as true a football fan as any. Okay so I admit I missed a few games recently, but may the best team win I say.
The cup they didn't score in??? You're either a retard or being deliberately retarded, either way it's about as funny as cancer.
rossy you must be faking being a retard as no bloke would come out with the utter shite youve posted on this thread . England were poor we had the wrong tactics and the wrong players on the pitch ! becks and lamps should have made way for crouch and lennon ! before the rooney sending off ! But its all well and good looking back weve got to look to the euros now ... and a team without erikson and maybe without becks !
HAHAHAHAHA go on rossy, can't believe youse lot took him for being serious, he's watched about 2 football matches since 1994, 1 of them was probably the PE team whilst he sat refusing to play
I'm not sure if your just being uncannily whitty there but you could have pm'd him and asked him on a date. but if you meant, How were we supposed to know?. then his first post kinda gave the game away it's a shame we didn't win after such a performance lampard did a brilliant throw in and some of the goal kicks were superb should sack these young types and get back some more experienced players like gazza and ian rush
Dahm right, and whilst most of the favourites have slowly dropped it's took till now for them to get a mention. They have a good chance any of the last 4 could win it imo, but the fact they've gone further than England has made up for all the txts i've recieved through the world cup
Think France will win the cup now ! Zidane looks like hes playing to be remeberd and when hes playing like that and droping passes onto henrys foot five yards from goal theres no way portugal are going to cope they couldnt even break us down with ten men !
