England-Portugal..the penalty spot

I think PA just acts like a usual English hooligan on 'Poly, and that's not his true nature. But I must admit he acts very well

I guess he is disappointed and sleeps.

Those that don't appreciate the fine art of self-destruction

"fine art of self destruction"?

That's almost as funny as you called relativism a "valid ethical theory". In both cases, you use pretty words that have nothing to do with the things you describe.

Yeah, I made a sig!

All of those hot, sweaty men running around after a couple of nets and a sponsorship deal must be hampering your ability to reason with some of the finer points of essentialist Pyrronism and someones ability to laugh at your inanity . Any pretty words rule! They mean what I want them to

For every example like that. I could (probably) find (if I was @rsed) an example of an opium addicted psuedo, locked in some attic in Paris, interferring with children!

And @ Whaleboy in this thread. You rock, man

My mother had just purchased a summer house in France back in '91-92 something. There was an important football game where Sweden beat France (was it the WC qualification, can't remember?). My mother watched it with her older sister and her new neighbour, a retired gendarme from Paris who commented "Sweden defended well". Then the two old ladies (60-70 years old back then) sat in their Austin Mini and drove around town, honked and waved a Swedish flag out the window!!!! What a sight that must have been!

That's the best thing I've ever read man!!!! Been laughing with for about 10 minutes now, and keep relapsing...

/me wipes tears from eyes.

Btw, Beckham's penalty rocked at the moment he kicked it, terribly unlucky.
-
As far as the dissalowed goal, it would probably stand in England but it is a definate foul on the continent. One of those you can debate for hours.
-
To be honest, i don't think England was capable of doing much more than defending, nothing to be ashamed of, just a fact.
Which you did very, very well btw, thumbs up to the England defense all of them.

[Whaleboy]

You more than deserved it man

It's relieving when some team scores and then falls back trying to defend the score rather than expanding the lead, and then fails miserably. It's particularly relieving when it happens several times in the same tournament.

Come on, give it a break. There were far worse referees in this cup (ask Italians and especially Latvians!) Referees in general are very quick giving a foul for the goalkeeper in the 5m-room and Ricardo certainly was slightly held. I'd like to see refs letting play a biot harder there, but this a general objection.
England is out because Rooney got hurt and Becks is a loser.

England's out because they miss quality, basically they miss technique.
If a nations hope of winning rests on the shoulders of an 18 year old, then that should tell you enough.
Becks was unlucky, though I do think he shouldn't have volunteered to give a penalty, and certainly not the first one.

Well at the risk of sounding bitter, the general strength of refereing is besides the point and the suggestion that there was a case of holding is null as the referee clearly demonstrated that he gave the foul for pushing which there certainly was none of.

Becks is a loser though, I think he gets psyched out when playing against his Real Madrid team mates as they're so much more central to the club than he is. Just as he showed a lack of character against the team that Zidane was captain of, he showed a lack of character against the team that Figo captained tonight.
