LOOL.
i say one world cup per year, lol!
Loved EVERY MINUTE of the portugal/holland game.
Loathed the referee, though.

On a side note, are you brits happy with a coach that after the eights goes "Gameplay will come"?
Is he expecting to have gameplay come in by the final (BOOOOOH!) or is he taking the piss?

Meanwhile just hours before the game between Italy and Australia, with a coach italians fear (he kicked us out of the last world cup coaching south korea...), our own coach lost it, and sent to f**koff the italian journalists which were asking him (dumb!) questions.

I wouldn't want to miss tomorrow's game for TWO of me kidneys.
And if Oz wins, i might just wish them the sincerest best, as they'd deserve it.

yeah we aussies are doing aaaaaaaaallllllllll right. Consindering our non soccer heritage

I haven't seen Svens comments but I am sure he is extremely happy with the 1-nil. He certainly seems as though he is 'on' something - since he knows he is only 'one game away from his last' he has made insane choices. Allowing Lampard to keep getting into shooting(?) positions is just one of them.

I will be behind the 'West Island' in the morning....

To be honest, Englands perfomance thorughout this world cup has been
p*ss poor, I'm tired of listening to erikson saying "it'll come" and i'm
cheesed off at the boring way england are playing, I actually fell asleep
during the england match

You look at the other recent 2nd round games, Germany-Sweden, great
game, Argentina-Mexico, Fantastic game, Portugal-Holland, Exciting game,
England-ECUADOR, bag of sh*te. It's embarrising

England do not belong in the quarter finals, Its a pitty Sweden, Mexico or
Holland could'nt take their place

As for that ref lastnight, what was he on, 4 red cards and what, 20
yellows, he ruined a great match.

i think he did whatever he had the means to do.....btw. im sure england is very pleased with the way it turned out. key players misses next game cause of it any many has a yellow to make them perhaps more cautionous

This is true dennis, I think england will need all the help they can get

[paulo silva]

i agree , excting game, but to much cards.

[paulo silva]

next game we have key players out , but we have 23players and FILIPÂO, great coach.

yesterday s match ( portugal x netherland ) was a great match to watch!!...manymany nervous people around here! not me...as said before ...the lucky star is on our side this time!LOL
i had a great time yesterday

i gess if he showed a serious repreenssion to the player who knoked out of the match cristiano ronaldo, the game might have turned quite diferently, and what about the lack of fair play when the referee stoped a portuguese dangerous offensive play to bring on assistence to a player and the dutch players didn return the ball??
but the biggest laugh was the second yellow wich caused the second red for the portuguese....that was a real messs!

[paulo silva]

agree , that was the big game mistake.

[ene.xis]

next game we have key players out , but we have 23players and FILIPÂO, great coach.

i heard this morning on the radio something like this:
the dutch might ask for the dismissal of yesterday s game because portugal was playing with 2 extra players: Scolari jumping an shouting on the bench an the holly mary!
hilarious....but pretty muth the truth!

[paulo silva]

he did what have to be done instruct the players , he have a great personality, he is a great man. viva FILIPÃO !!! Viva Portugal!

[priad]

I have loved the portugal game !!!
without all the card of course. sorry for.
