England's Out

Asher · June 21, 2002, 04:21

Oops.
2-1 Brazil final.

Paul Hanson · June 21, 2002, 04:22

Brazil deserved to win that, the way England were playing in the second half. Congrats to them.

Zylka · June 21, 2002, 04:23

Wasn't that f*cking gorgeous. In the last half an hour of play every single player writhing on the ground seemed to be a Brazilian.

I guess England's just that violent

ZoboZeWarrior · June 21, 2002, 04:23

Brazil was very impressive.
Their first goal was a pure art-work.

Too bad for the british who have a good team.

Zylka · June 21, 2002, 04:24

By the way Ash, were you waiting on submit reply for the latter half of the game? Shame.

AND ISN'T DAVID BECKHAM HOT?!@#e!@#!

Asher · June 21, 2002, 04:25

No, Zylka, I just have the TV right beside me.

Paul Hanson · June 21, 2002, 04:26

Sure. You had two windows open, one with the thread subject "England's Out" and the other with "Brazil's Out", and you just posted the relevant one at full-time.

Zylka · June 21, 2002, 04:28

Isn't that what I was insinuating?

Asher · June 21, 2002, 04:28

Why would it take me 30 seconds to click Submit Reply?

MarkG · June 21, 2002, 04:28

Brazil - Ref 2-1

Asher · June 21, 2002, 04:29

You can't possibly be implying the ref was biased towards England can you?

There was still 15 seconds left on my TV when he called time.

Seneca · June 21, 2002, 04:29

It would appear that we're not the best team in the world after all. Who'd have thought it?

Paul Hanson · June 21, 2002, 04:29

I was tempted to say that, but then it'd just look like I was being a sore loser.

Zylka · June 21, 2002, 04:30

The ref wasn't biased, but the Brazilians were taking some pretty pathetic dives

Boo to Brazilians

And the ball was flying into the box at that precise moment!

Zylka · June 21, 2002, 04:31

Except for this Brazilian

edit: f*cking prude

Paul Hanson · June 21, 2002, 04:34

Personally, I think it was pretty shoddy refereeing all-round. Brazil should have been pulled up for some of those dives, but Ronaldinho didn't deserve to be sent off.

ZoboZeWarrior · June 21, 2002, 04:34

MarkG · June 21, 2002, 04:36

biased? no
didnt know his job? hell yes!

Asher · June 21, 2002, 04:37

It's only the world cup, it's not like they need competent refs or anything.

mills is a bastard. that ronaldinho thing was for yellow, surely not for red. he did not even have a single foul, AFIAK, before he got red. also, mills faked it a bit, there was no serious contact.
after that, brazil had right to resort to every tactic availiable to steel time. england showed how miserable it is when trailing, stupid ericsson set their minds on defense. they simply could not mount pressure when needed.
oh, let me bask in the balmy sun of this summer morning

JohnIII · June 21, 2002, 04:40

It was a bad sending off, but there were plenty of times when he should have booked players (on both sides) for diving. I don't see how we had the ref on our side.

Of course, the Greeks are probably biased

It was a yellow card offence, but he did catch Mills. Hey, let's not forget what Rivaldo was doing.

Chris Wilkinson · June 21, 2002, 04:43

I've been impressed by our performances this World Cup, good job lads

rivaldo deserved at least a yellow. i hate that bastard. instead, stupid ref gave red to the best player on the pitch.

in favor of brazil?? for what?

JohnIII · June 21, 2002, 04:44

For that Beckham free kick that was never a free kick.

Kropotkin · June 21, 2002, 04:51

Oh yes the Brazilian took dives. No englishman did that. It's not like Beckham ran in and feel in the box at least two times. Aslo, Scholes took a obvious dive in a good free-kick location. It was just like against Greece where England cheated their way thtough. Oh no lets blame the referee for taking out a brazilian. That showed that the referee was biased against england.

Only sad losers blame the referee in a game like this. England put up a good solid defence in the first half and Owen used a error by Lucio to make a goal, a good solid tactics. The second half England really sucked and didn't deserve to win. They couldn't perform anything on their own.
