hah...

Theres loads of stuff you could say about the game. Like why was our goal disallowed? I've seen it like 30 times, and I still dont understand the foul?

And why did the ref point to the centre circle, then blow his whistle, and point to a free kick spot?

Anyway, it wont change the result. Good telly!

edit: Just some small reaction from the UK, I dont see how this changes anything, and its probably libel, but:

Hu?!! .. Tomorrow will play France vs Greece.. Sweden will play against Holland..


I've read here that the referee was on our side, and i must say you're so wrong! Andy Cole should get the red card.. He just did fouls and fouls and fouls.. And excuse me, but in the goal that was invalidated, our keeper was pushed by TWO english players in his area.. The rules say that anyone who tries to stop the GK to reach the boal in the keeper area should be punished with a foul.. And in my opinion, Portugal deserved to win ... But i have to say also that you have a wonderful team, and an amazing couch.. and your fans here in Portugal, inspite of the problems in algarve last week, are being very nice even after being defeated..

*EDIT* - No offense, but:

LMFAO nice picture, but all i can say about that last goal is.. "soccer is rigged" lol.  ya it was in, but the goal keeper touched it if you didn't notice   maybe you should take your tv off mute next time lol

Fact is the keeper flapped & fell over.  You can't blame that on english players, you can blame it on the Ref.

In the first half yellows were given to England but not Portugal for IDENTICAL offences.

Oh.. if there is a match that there's so little to complain about is this one...
Don't try to find excuses for this loss.. Portugal played better, that's a fact! Although your counter-attack is terrific, we had more posession of the ball, more attacks.. We deserved it.. that's my opinion of course.. And i understand that you, as english fans and citizens, don't understand my opinion. But that's ok with me.. four years ago, against France, i did the same thing..

pushed by who ??? if u watch it, terry clearly has his eyes on the ball all the time, he jumps to head it. then your keeper trys jump to catch it. then campbell just comes and jumps higher than them both and heads it in.
where is the foul ???
