Nice going England, looks like you gave it all away

 

[8bit]

C'MON THE SWISS!

It probably should have been in favour of the English, but the ref needs to make a snap decision, and it sticks. Unlucky folks.

 

[Maverick]

Fifty-

I bought the World Cup 2002 Highlights DVD the other day, and watching the Ireland game was just terrible. I can't believe how they kept blowing the penalties. Spain practically gave them the game.

 

[Maverick]

Alright, saw the replay.....That was a goal. They were going up for the ball for crissakes.

 

[cuccoo]

When will these people learn? Being defensive is suicide. Just like Italy...

 

[Dagless M.D.]

is it not 'silver ball' now?

 

[cybamerc]

England shouldn't have had that freekick to begin with. Come on Portugal... punish them for being so passive. If England doesn't want to play football it doesn't deserve to be in this tournament.

 

[Bluemercury]

The swiss ref is a total joke, there was nothing wrong with that goal at all, Terry was just standing still and the keeper jumped on him and fell down.

England have played shit all second half but really its just shown the medicority of Portugal who still couldnt break them down, england look tired though i wouldnt be supprised if portugal stole the game now, with Rooney and Scholes off and Beckham playing a stinker, blind luck or penalties are englands only hopes.

Yeah right.....England is shit but portugal whos playing better is worse, what a joke....

 

[COCKLES]

is it not 'silver ball' now?

Yeah just heard that. Whats the difference?

 

[cuccoo]

if one team leads and hold the lead at half time, it wins. if the other equalise then they go to second half of extra time.

 

[Maverick]

OMFG. WHAT A FUCKING DIVE. THATS EMBARASSING. JUST RIDICULOUS.

 

[calder]

That's a dumb OT format, but as a Canadian anything other than 'sudden death' (golden goal) is anathema to me. I would have thought that you only need to allow the other team a chance to tie in OT if it's a sport where scoring happens sequentially or very quickly.

 

[Maverick]

Honestly, I'm a baffled at how Nuno Gomes didnt get a yellow for that dive. Yet that Neville foul does. That sucks......

Lets talk about ashley cole then...

 

[Maverick]

That was embarassing and you know it.

 

[Maverick]

Your boy Cole with a fantastic tackle.

 

[Bluemercury]

That was embarassing and you know it.

Yes but who doesnt do that, also Ashley should already be out by his faults to Ronaldo.

 

[Maverick]

Owen is waiting to sit on winner.

 

[Maverick]

Gomes is hurt. Oh the irony.

 

[cuccoo]

does portugal have a good penalty shootout record?

 

[Maverick]

Vassel is just plain ineffective. Shame Roon is hurt.

 

[norinrad21]

ENGLAND OWNED

 

[deadhorse32]

Both team are even now


oh shit GOAL for Portugal

 

[aka]

Ouch! Great strike.

 

[Maverick]

 

[COCKLES]

Can't argue with that goal.

 

[cuccoo]

england goes home now. i hope they learn from this lesson.

 

[Kiriku]

Wow, beautiful goal.

 

[Maverick]

Come on Owen.

 

[COCKLES]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[norinrad21]

God what a thriller

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

OMG!!!!

 

[Fifty]

LAMBARRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


GOOAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

 

[Maverick]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSS. LAMPARD! LAMPARD! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU ALL!!!!!!!

 

[Charles]

I have a penalties feeling

2-2

 

[deadhorse32]

I don't care for the winner but thanks for the great match

 

[cuccoo]

dang, lampard has been sharp for a long time. he was great with chelsea this season, and he prove it again.

 

[Maverick]

Okay, fine, Owen with one and Lampard with the other.

And England with the win in Penalties. Nastradamus!

 

[COCKLES]

Fouling bastard!

How can that not be a red card?

Portugal buckling...

PENALTIES!

THE AGONY!

 

[Maverick]

holy crap.....Becks (?)

 

[calder]

That's a GREAT OT format, as a Canadian of English descent any 'sudden death' (golden goal) format is anathema to me.

Fixed!

 

[deadhorse32]

penalty

 

[Maverick]

Cmon Campbell get yer big ass up there.

 

[Charles]

And Penalties it is!

 

[cuccoo]

I think its 5-4 penalites for portugal. any predictions?

 

[COCKLES]

I hope Sven has practised the shoot-outs.

Funny enough Rooney was saying in paper interview, his ready for a penalty shoot-out.

 

[Maverick]

James has been terrific in this game.....But this is quite a test.

 

[Fifty]

This is best way to handle extra time...(Silver goal...not penalties )

 

[Bluemercury]

I think its 5-4 penalites for portugal. any predictions?

Portugal will loose in the penalty, England will win......they practiced, but England just didnt play to win the game......

 

[DrM]

this will be interesting...
I will go with Portugal this time (mainly because goalkeeper)
