July 1, 200619 yr Author My guesses for the penalties; Lampard, Gerrard, Hargreaves, A.Cole and Terry. Ditto
July 1, 200619 yr 1990 1996 1998 and 2004 England go out on Penalties in a major tournament. :( :cry: :cry: 2006? Will we break our voodoo? I predict Lampard Gerrard Hargreaves Carragher Terry as Penalty takers.
July 1, 200619 yr Cristine "arsehole" Ronaldo. I hate him. I hope he gets booed at every game in the Premiership.
July 1, 200619 yr WOHOOOOOOOO! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: It was soooooooo hard my God! I was here so nervous! :lol: Great job of England too!
July 1, 200619 yr I feel most sorry for the players. Heroes they are, absolute legends infact. Best chance in ages of winning and i'm so pissed off, but lets get real with it Portugal won't win. They hardly put in a performance against a ten man team. I still hate Ronaldo though.
July 1, 200619 yr Cristine "arsehole" Ronaldo. I hate him. I hope he gets booed at every game in the Premiership. Me too and I'm a United fan. Seriously though, there was no need for him to come over on the Rooney incident. They really were heroes today though. They shown us what we ARE made of when called upon and Owen Hargreaves ... bloody hell I've slated him in the past but he KEPT US in that game at times. A true star-player. Now it's that time again were we can all relax and watch the end of the World Cup from a neutral point of view now and really admire the beauty of it. Rather than wanting suchabody to beat suchateam just so that England get the better draw.

I doubt we'd have won it with two strikers any way and the tactics would have been the long ball again which would end up being so furstrtaing. I still hope Ronaldo gets booed at every game and its only fuelling rivalry. Some of the Portugease players show no sportsman ship at all today -_- .
July 1, 200619 yr Author They did have 1 perfect chance to hit for goal, but it never came off, they just couldn't control the ball, oh well, have to wait another 4 years. I hope the Brazilians or the French beat them now Germany & Brazil in the final now, methinks.
July 1, 200619 yr England always go to pieces in penalty shootouts Once the 120 mins was over it was obvious that it was curtains
July 1, 200619 yr Have you watched the BBC replay - he headbutted Wayne Rooney BEFORE the start of the match. And he was caught on camera winking to the Portuguese bench when Rooney got sent off. I think it was quite telling how after the match Gary Neville shook the hands of every Portuguese player EXCEPT C. Ronaldo. The moral of this competition is while FIFA do not allow TV replays in Football then we need to cheat, dive & harass the refs & officials like Italians, French, Argentines & Portuguese players do otherwise we will never win another World Cup. There is NO WAY that Cristiano Ronaldo can stay at Old Trafford after his disgraceful behaviour today.
July 1, 200619 yr Well done to Portugal. Gotta say England lost it rather then Portugal winning it. However, England again have to look at fitness of players, while they did okay during the game, fitness was clearly an issue with nany players previous games and one can't help feeling that the Penalty takers would of had a better go if are not so knackered. A question mark must hang over Rooney now, you can't afford to lose a man, so if someone is that immature then maybe he should not be starting in the first place, it's not like he's that good that he makes a difference. Hope to see Portugal play better in suture games also.

At every ground he goes too (especially Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea) he'll get a great reception :rolleyes: . If the Portugease game plan was to get Roney snet off the I will get unbeliveabley pissed off.
July 1, 200619 yr :cry: Despite what anyone said about him, Owen Hargreaves was probably man of the match for England.
