Har Har. Englands going home

I laugh mainly because of the relentless hype that has bombarded me on every TV Channel and in every Newspaper. Fuck Off England!

Perhaps i'll have a little peace now whenever I open a newspaper or turn my TV on.

Portugal, Portugal, Portugal!!! How brilliant was that! England no way deserved to win that match, for the whole of the second half Portugal had 99% of the possesion.

However watch now the media will blaime it all on the Ref and not on the ability of the team to get the job done.

haha, seing Ian Wright moaning like a girl who couldnt get a lolly was priceless.

My TV will be an england overhype free zone for a few years. And i am relishing in that fact.

Quack Handle

We didn't deserve the win, but we were robbed. The game was rigged slightly because they're the host nation, Campbell's goal should have stood.

In Euro 96 when we beat Spain on pen's in the 1/4 finals Spain had a perfectly good goal disallowed in extra time, but I still say we were screwed

P.S At least we're beter than the Aussies

I now fancy the Czech Pep to win it the turning point was the dutch game, when they went 2-0 down I quickly drove to the bookies and put £100 on them to win the match at 18/1, not a bad bet, ive also got £50 at 14/1 for them to win the tournament

Campbells goal WASNT a goal, John Terry had his arm around the goalkeeper. Terry didnt meant to do it, I know, but still, within that 6 yard box the goalkeepers actions are SACRED, its a rule. If any small little thing happens to put the goalkeeper off from getting to the ball, its a definate foul.

And this was more than a small little thing, Terry prevented the goalkeeper from jumping, if Terrys arm wasnt around the goalkeeper he would've been able to jump up and easily get his hands to the ball before Campbells head, and even if he couldnt, it was a foul anyway. Boo-hoo for Campbell.

Now, I must be the only person I know who was watching it on the UN-biased Eurosport channel, and unlike BBC, it interviewed referee's and officials and I think EVERYONE admitted that there was no goal, even Colline the worlds best referee. Gary Lineker just slightly mentioned "I think the referee just mighta saw Terrys arm right there..." And then the 3 commentators went quiet, and then they changed the subject.

Of course Ian Wright went on to bitch about it more before the program was over, it wasnt a goal, and the English broadcasters want the nation to feel like they were unlucky. Portugal won, deservadly.

Give it time
