What a joke we were cheated.

Owen scores in the 3rd minute, portugal equalize in the 82nd, campbell scores in the 90th minute but it is disallowed for NO reason.

Extra time - Portugal score 110th minute, England equalizes (lampard) 115th minute.

Playing time finishes at 2-2.

Penaltys - Portugal win on penaltys, from a very dodgy penalty spot, vassel and beckham miss. I believe it was 6-5 in penaltys.

What an f-ing joke, we were cheated from victory. :cry:

Damn swiss referee, just because we beat you.

i hope the England fans give the ref a good beating!

Anyone know a good hitman? that ref needs to be shot :evil:

any riots yet? Nope haven't heard of any yet! Giggles!

Anyone know a good hitman? that ref needs to be shot :evil:

Ill agree with that, maybe ill look one up in the yellow pages ...

We deserved, and we got cheated. Well done lads, you should have had that.

Go on England

AHH THT STUPID REF WE SHOULD'VE WON THT!!

So who's up for a good riot?

Well done especially to Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole, you played absolutly great ! :D

I agree, we were completely cheated by this Swiss referee. I hope that there is a full investigation into this by the authorities and a rematch!!!! He was biased and even the Portuguese knew it!!! PLEASE!!! I HOPE IT IS FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS BEING BIASED OR I MAY HAVE TO STRANGLE HIM WHILE GETTING 105 DRUNK ENGLAND FANS TO CONSTANTLY PUNCH HIM FOR 90 MINUTES!!!!!!

England and the FA should demand an inquiry and investigation into the game, it was a joke !

If not, i hope that ref gets his ass kicked.

I'm sorry but i think i must have been watching a different match than you lot. I agree we were robbed of a victory but i think we played a very poor game after Rooney went off.
For one how can you tackle an opposing player & try and get the ball off him if you stand 15feet away from him. you can't, you have to be tight on them to get the ball otherwise they will start to run at you, you stick your foot out they jump over it & fall down, Ref blows for a freekick to them.
When i was taught to play football the defence were told to hold a line outside of the penalty area so that the goalkeeper had enough time to see a shot coming in, you do not stand just infront of him.
I want England to win every match but we won't until we start tackling the opposition as soon as they get possession.
Look at Ashley Cole, marking Ronaldo tight and nearly every time got the ball off him if they had all marked up like that we might have had the right score

Owen scores in the 3rd minute, portugal equalize in the 82nd, campbell scores in the 90th minute but it is disallowed for NO reason.

Someone from England ran into the goalie! That is why it was disallowed!

It was disallowed because John Terry had his arm on the 'keeper when Campbell headed it in. It's one of those 50-50 decisions that can go either way. When it goes for you it's "A good decision", when it's against you it's "We've been robbed!"

Go Sweden!

And i never play defence, so i dont know about Defence tactics that much, but yeah, we played too deep, and lost the ball to often, we had a wide defence and couldnt handle what was being thrown at us.

You only get a couple of inches off the ground. To get as high as you can you have to lift your arms up high and bring them down forcefully.

Why couln't England have thier usual friendly Russian linesman? Were was he?

Congratulations to Portugal. :D :D They deserved to win. :) :)

England was not bad but not as good as Portugal. They deserved to loose. :twisted: :twisted:

It seems that the (former) great teams are dying: Italy is out, Germany is out and now England is out as well :twisted: :twisted:

Probably the Czech Republic becomes European champion.

i disagree completely, that was a perfectly good goal that should have been allowed, we scored the most goals therefore we deserved to win!

It seems to me that everytime a British sporting team starts getting anywhere in a competition, some official steps in and makes a dodgy descision which gets us booted out. Ihave often wondered whether FIFA & EUFA were either corrupt or juat plain anti-british. That goes for the IAAA, IOC and the rest as well. Actually they are both corrupt and anti-british. The ref in the england / portugal match was clearly under instructions to be biased towards the Portugese.

Thank you.
Their is going to be some rioting tonight, british style :roll:

It pains me to say this but.......even I think they were robbed on the 90th minute and I'm Scottish :|

Terry didn't even look at the keeper. If he did then you could accuse him of actually meaning to "hit" Ricardo although since he didn't, he had no idea of where the keeper would be and just jumped. Completely innocent.


Anyways...atleast it'll stop all this "Rooney is the new Pele" waffle.

Watch the tape, neither campbell or terry touches him, he falls and so does terry, making it look like terrys fault. Watch it from the reverse angle.

You need to stop whining and accept the facts like they are. I thought the goal was good when watching it in real time, but when you look back at the replay, Terry clearly interfered with Ricardo by holding his arm down. Losing sucks, and I know England have made a reputation for themselves as the sorest losers in the world, but please, just drop it, march on. There will be more tournaments and you can't win them all.

Ok, you need to get your facts right, Terry DIDNT touch Ricardo.
I have watched it over and over.

Yeah, he DIDN'T touch Ricardo in the same way that Beckham DIDN'T touch Rebecca Loos. The loss is heartbreaking, I know, but you're only lying to yourself right now. Ricardo was obstructed with and the referee made the call he'll always make, regardless of whether the team was England, Portugal, Argentina, Zimbabwe, etc.... Funny how we wouldn't even be having this conversation unless England would have actually been awake between the start of the second half and the eighty-third minute. Cheers to English Hooligans tearing down Wembley Stadium yet again!

But this is different we had a good goal and their should be someway the authorities could rule against these sort of bad decisions after the game.
If the English F.A do not appeal they should all be sacked.

Well im going to go to sleep, i cant be bothered to argue this ! :P

Goodnight all.

In my mind we won that game. It sholdn't have even gone into extra time, Terry's arm was above Ricardo's but that's not saying that he was pushing him down. That was a perfectly good goal and the Ref was in no position to get an accurate view of it, the linesman gave it aswell. We didn't play well but we still should have won, that game was an ablsolute shambles. The ref gave Gerrard a yellow card, then the portugese player done exactly the same, but no card. In fact, there were two bad tackles and he didn't even give free kicks for it.

Then theres the penalty spot, there should have been some sort of complaint to move to the other side of the pitch. Maybe we are bad losers, but if it's any consolation, Engaland are the best rioters in the world bar none :roll:

Damn, Portugal is going to be ripped apart tonight :twisted:

Too right. We wouldnt be moaning like this is we lost fairly and with a bit of decency, but it was all taken away by a poor decision.
Yeh ok, we didnt play great, but we did deserve to win, and i agree the FA must make some appeal !

I'm not sure why everyone here thinks it's such a travesty (Well, besides the rather large number of England fans trolling this topic). What the play came down was a judgement call for the referee. Terry's arm was clearly on Ricardo, just as Ricardo clearly didn't make his strongest move to go up and get that ball. If it would've gone the other way, you can be sure the same number of Portuguese people would have been bitching about how they got cheated. It was a 50/50 chance of going either way, and yet another reason I'm thankful that I'm not a referee.

We've got a saying over here- take the ref out of play. What it means is if you're good enough, a bad decision won't matter, because you'll be far enough ahead of the opposition. It's what kids get taught here right from five years old. If you get beaten by a referee's decision, no matter how bad, you simply weren't good enough.

England, it turns out, weren't good enough. Get over it. :roll:

spoken like a true yank/foreigner.. go flush your head down the nearest toilet (no holding of breath allowed)... that goes for you too Brazillico...

Yeah, if you look closely, you'll see that the ref was actually Portugals 12th player.

When it goes for you it's "A good decision", when it's against you it's "We've been robbed!"
football...American or British... same attitude

And anyway, I'm from New Zealand, which means I'm probably more English than you anyway. :P

Heyy! Thats's the spirit! This is exactly why I'm happy England's out. Start playing instead of mocking everyone else. Go Portugal!

It's just a game, s'not that important.

What a joke we were cheated.

Owen scores in the 3rd minute, portugal equalize in the 82nd, campbell scores in the 90th minute but it is disallowed for NO reason.

Extra time - Portugal score 110th minute, England equalizes (lampard) 115th minute.

Playing time finishes at 2-2.

Penaltys - Portugal win on penaltys, from a very dodgy penalty spot, vassel and beckham miss. I believe it was 6-5 in penaltys.

What an f-ing joke, we were cheated from victory. :cry:

Um...so?

Damn swiss referee, just because we beat you.

if the referee had been anywhere near the ball, instead of 30 yards away, he would have seen that there was no pushing by Terry on Ricardo
