Who will win Euro 2004!

[PY]

fucking whops....Nomad u silly eye-talian, your team should all get haircuts and u should denounce your Italian heritage.  I live in Little Italy in Ottawa now, and i've never seen so many grown men cry as i did yesterday.  That team brings their bad karma upon itself, fucking belly achers and little girls...jesus.  They have excuses BEFORE they even play games.  Anyhow now that i got Nomad all hot and bothered, GO SWEDEN !

I think hoelo should be banned for putting his ass as a forum icon

[seth]

next on the list, england....

[BFG]

You can never write the germans off....... Oh oops hehehe lol maybe not  

[|MP|Nomad]

England is looking pretty good and so are the Dutch, but I will like to see Portugal get eliminated only b/c whenever they get eliminated from big tourny's like these, they take off their jersey's and put down their flags and hop on the bandwagon by putting on the Brasil jersery, whats up with that??  Brazilians are not Portuguese, they only speak the same language, thats it!  SHould be a good game tomorrow.

[bronto]

i got digital cable for tomorrows match.

[BFG]

Hmmm who will portugal support when we knock them out then? () so far Bulgaria have had the finest women suppoprters - there was one lass with flowers in her hair, and oh bloody hell i almsot bought a plane ticket over their straight up!
Mind You Sweeden had a couple of stunners in the stands the other night as well!

...sorry football, football.. ah screw it, women!

[BFG]

1-0!!! 1-0!!! AHAHA Own with a beautiful goal in the 3rd MINUTE!! OH YEAH!

-----------------
26 minutes in, Rooney has been subbed seems like he might have a twisted ankle or somthing after a nasty contact with a portugese foot!

[Brutha]

Nomad, fistly....when italy leaves a tournament like this at the early stages, there is allways a cry from the italians blaming all but themselves. Dont know why, becuase ultimatly its the team itself that has to score the goal, not the ref and not the opposing team. And certainly not the other teams in the group. I dont believe for a second that the penalty against italy was "planned". Refs do bad calls, thats it.

secondly. Italy played like shit in euro2004 and deserved the ticket home. Italy can play brilliant football when they want to. Totti is a good example of what happens to the italian team when they fail. Look at your own team, and not other factors when you look for an explanation for why it went wrong. Totti should infact be banned for the whole tournament for what he did. And I hope that frei, who did the same, will get equal, if not harder, punishment for that. Unsportsmanlike and childish.

So, go home italy and try again in 2 years. Hopefully you have learned something from this. I certainly hope so, because then i might see italy at its best, which is great to watch.

Jesus Christ England are playiing the second half in their own half, Owen is up front most of the time on his own - with vassell coming back a lot to defend.  But in terms of attack we are doing very little - the ball is all with the portugese who are keeping it well

England need to wake up a bit, portugese arn't exactly getting shots on toarget but there is a uneasy feeling in my stomach watching England being so sleepy.... we're playing like it was 5minutes left of the game - not 25!  

--------------------------

And there we have it.... I knew it was coming, its been coming since the beginning of the bloody second half. Portugal have just equalised and England see half asleep - defending deperatly and rarely leaving their own half. This is not good at all.

[Brutha]

Man, these defencive tactics are ruining the game.....want to see attacking footy. Football that Cruyff played or Roberto Baggio...they were players you knew were going to do spectacular stuff on the field. Give us Pele back!!!

Saw a picture of rooneys woman...there you have the proof. You can score big time if you are ugly like rooney...as long as you have the money and are famous!!!

[Brutha]

England are failing again, just like against france. Damnit, why do teams have to pull back to their own half on 1-0.....they are loosing this like they did against france.....

[BFG]

Its sickening. And without rooney we seem to have lacked the force to surge forward and offer any form of threat. The guys just look exhausted, Beckham has dissapointed me again and  although there have been some mighty fine strong defending - we just seem dead, the will is lacking...

Beckham free kick as i speak! OMG OMG OMG NO NO ON. Fuck. it hit the bar, but no omg Y no FUCK oh jesus, no you bastard the feff is a fucker. oh god no no no


Sorry to clear that up we hit the bar, then Cambell headed it in and the F*cking reff decided it didn't count. Fromt he replays nothing was wrong, the bastard has just given a home decison and denied England a totally legitimate goal.

I know where you live mate, watch your back and you might not want to walk home on your own for a while

--------------------------

Its all over. just a few minutes left of extra time and Costa has just scored for Portugal...... surely it is all over now

--------------------------

OMG! OMG! Lampard just scored! Beautiful turn from a corner and the score is 2-2!

JUST 7 minutes left. forget having fingernails left, i don't have fingers!!!!

[BFG]

England v Portugal.... its down to the Penalty Shootout

[seth]

bye bye england  

[bronto]

FUCKING BULLSHIT

i dont give a fuck, england won in the last minute of full time, that fucking ref is a piece of shit. fucking calling fouls on absolutely nothing. and england still held their own against a pushover of a ref, believing every piece of shit dirtbag fall the portugese scum bag team took. i could have kicked the shit out of the whole portugese team just by running up and tapping them on the backs. fuck that shit, england wins.

PS anyone who thinks portugal won that game legitamately is a fucking disgrace to football. absolute fucking bullshit, campbell was robbed the same exact way of a perfectly legal goal as he was during the argentina game in 1998. absolutely shitty ref, hopefully he'll go home and watch the tv and realise he was completely wrong, called a foul on absolutely nothing, and hang himself. FUCKING DISGRACE TO THE GAME YOU PIECE OF SWISS CHEESE BRAINED SHITBAG

[BFG]

I think Bronto has summed up the quality of the refereeing in that match...

FUCKING DISGRACE TO THE GAME YOU PIECE OF SWISS CHEESE BRAINED SHITBAG

Shocking. Absolutly fucking shocking. And i don't want to see David Beckhams face for a long time.

[|MP|Nomad]

Tee Hee   nah, I was rooting for England for the reason I gave above about Pork-Chops but, oh well cya in a few years.  

[l ! l Ross]

[bronto]

england played the best match in this entire tournament, regardless of what happens next. despite the fact that i am an england fan, you can't deny that the ref was biased in giving away free kicks, robbing legitamate goals, and allowing players to be pushed onto the ground from behind in clear view and not issuing yellowcards, yet england still managed to overcome through all the BS and having to see ronaldos dirtbag smile everytime he threw himself onto the ground. after a game like that, if england had been given the goal they earned, i would have expected them to win the tournament.
god i can't stress how much bullshit was flowing. that swiss bastard sold himself because england smoked his country's team.

[seth]

nah england didnt play well for 87 mn. They had a goal, and did rest on their laurels while Portugal worked its ass off. They should have secure another goal instead !
