Euro 2004 draw FOOTBALL (soccer)

I really don't get it. It was one of the clearest decision in football ever. Terry clearly stopped goalkeeper from jumping and everybody knows goalkeepers are "Holy cows" in football.
I mean, if it was for some tricky penalty or not, or some playing with hand...
England really wasn't robbed.

Aren't there any people from Sweden on this Forum??

bigdice is from Sweden (originally).

I totally agree with the "holy-cow- decision" = you learn that, when starting playing football (and here, most players get agressive, when their goalkeeper is attacked in such a way).

I didn't respond to your response Rick, and I really don't want to respond to such trick - especially, since I never ever give alcohol to non-adults ...




































... online.

good one kev

bloody disgrace. the man should be taken outside and a cuckoo clock stuffed up...(this post terminates here for obvious reasons)

well...football makes people irational I believe most of nations would feel the same on some level.

But, once again, rest of the world completely disagrees.

nimh

Thats the problem with football in multicultural Holland nimh.

Too much culture, not enough football

OK, but without swolf? :wink:

and why has no one commented on Kipling's poem. Thats culture. And he knew a thing or two about so called "neutral" so called "referrees" from so called "Swizzerland"

The last sentence is meant for Walter, that is.

Kipling: easier written (or copied) than done.

To treat defeat as an impostor.
To go under with dignity.
No excuses.

I know, I know, this is football, and ranting is part of the game.

Only the Nationalistic fog across the Channel can prevent anyone from seeing a clear block by Terry.
What else can I say?

Can someone come up front and declare that the Portuguese cheated by not keeping a perfect turf around the penalty spot?

Well even the Swiss referee has written to the English Football Association, apologising for his inept performance an promising to return all that Nazi gold and that Switzerland will ban yodelling.

I am almost but not quite, tempted to accept his apology.

Gefeliciteerd!

Yes of course there are, why only last week we had Agnetha Falstkog and Anni Frid Lyngstad.

Why do you ask?

we taught my 14-month old nephew to cheer tonight ...

Send the tw*t up to Leeds we'll show him how grateful we are for his refereering expertise.

Ok,Walter? :wink:

Interesting game Netherlands-Sweden after penalty 5:4. In the stadium there was about 30°Celisus without wind. Sure, that they played first not very good.. Now the semi final : Portugal-Netherlands

today
Czech Republic-Denmark

I´m for the Czech Republic, they play just very good.

I supported Netherlands all along, but considering their beautiful penalty shots experience from WC98 and especially Euro2000, I thought that it would be cool if Sweden wins in shotout.

Then some rich guy would certainly get idea to organize biggest football even in the world.

Maracana stadium, Brasil.
200,000 people.
Award for winner - 10 million Euro
Award for loser - 5 million Euro
All TV stations around the world having live coverage...
And the game:

Penalty shotout: England vs. Netherlands

However, Dutch ocassionaly win it seems

yes it was a very exciting match but what i do not understand is why our national coach still sets andy van der Meyde in the line up

and as of stories about swiss ref I can only add one thing: there is croatian saying (probably english as well, but I don't know equivalent) that, in free translation goes something like this: "Who grabs the sword will die from sword".

English ref Riley is responsible for biggest robbery on Euro2004 (THREE clear penalties for Latvia that he "missed"), so...choose better refs next time
