England's Out

[Zylka]

I recant

Except for this Brazilian


edit: f*cking prude

[Paul Hanson]

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.

biased? no
didnt know his job? hell yes!

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

I guess England's just that violent

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

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.

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.

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

post ww2 occupation?

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.
