world Cup 06

I could take the easy way out and blame the ref but we played absymal f' ericson is a b*****
and whats the point in taking joe cole off all the time is there much point especially for crouch:angry: I know we need an upfront but joe cole is a player that keeps us going its a useles exercise taking him off.

its obvious sven and arsenal chairman david dein have done a backdoor deal by putting little theo in the squad just to bump up his price cause sven never had much intrest in him....espcially when defoe would be 10x better to have

its svens fault rooney got sent off a player as violatile as rooney shouldnt be isolated like that its obvious he would get frustrated and with these refs descion in this cup we was asking for him to get sent off

I never thought stevie would miss a penalty or frank lampard I dont know what to think

ooo lol i forgort about that well that is going to cause some awkwardness

England getting put out of the World Cup is all the fault of the thug that is Wayne Rooney. Not content with ruining someones wedding tackle he goes on to push Ronaldo.

Of course th rubbish penalty kicks didnt help. Who in their right mind kicks low balls at a goalie who is 5'10''

The team played their best match of this world cup but were let down by the scouse thug

It's the same old story with the england players. They don't get their own way so they start lashing out at the players in the other team. Normally its beckham who lashes out kicking another player

there's no way you can blame Rooney for that sending off. He was fouled about 3 times first then he trod on the guy by accident, there was nothing vicious or remotley thug-ish going on. The ref wasn't going to do anything until that dirty cheating @#!$ Christiano Ronaldo came over and started mouthing off.
But Rooney or no Rooney, England played rubbish, Gerrard, Lampard and Crouch were useless. Sven got it all wrong again. Hargreaves was England's best player by far because he actually tried, he never stopped running or working unlike most other players who just turn up and do nothing, like they couldn't be bothered.
Saly, England don't deserve to go through because they played rubbish the whole tournement. Neither do Portugal either because they are all dirty cheats.
Ok, rant over.

I have to agree with you Bex - Ronaldo was trying to wind Rooney up on a couple of occasions and whilst I don't excuse Rooneys behaviour, he was watching the ball, not where he was standing. It wasn't till Ronaldo ran in complaining (like he does) and Rooney (stupidly) retaliated that the ref got his red card out. I think the wink that Ronaldo gave his team mates etc after Rooney walked said it all to be honest. Though I'd love to be in the Man Utd camp when they get back - that could be interesting.

England didn't deserve to win though - they've played diabolical all the way through the World Cup, the best game the played was today and whilst they did well to keep the goals out with 10 men, they shouldn't really have got as far as they did.

But then to me, football is all about how many dives you can get away with and how many free kicks you can be awarded. Its not the game it used to be.

Sorry folks I have to disagree. England played their best match of this World Cup. Rooney is always a cert to get red carded. He is a vicious little bully who cannot control his temper. His fellow players know this and he is so easy to wind up making a red or yellow card inevitable. He has to shoulder the blame for Englands humiliating demise.:thumbsdow

Couldn't give two hoots about England going out of the world cup, they never had it in them to win the world cup! Although in saying that, most teams have performed well below par Im still going with my prediction for a Germany v France final, might even stick a few quid on france.

It was a dreadful game but really were England ever goingto win the world cup. I could still win a few Quid with Portugal in the sweepstake if they come third. It is nice to blame sven, but there were 11 (10 for a bit of the game) on the field that could have made it happen. The France Brazil game was how you want to see worldcup football. Rooney and ronaldos behaviour was like a True United players. Its what happens when you play in that dump Old Trafford.

i think england did pretty well yesterday considering they played with 10 men for an hour and still portugal didnt manage to score. even though i think it was the best england have played in the world cup this year, especially after rooney was sent off, they didnt play brilliantly, but then again i thought portugal werent that great either, some of their passing was dreadful!

i reckon near the end though portugal stopped trying cos they wanted it to go into penalties, they knew that theyd easily beat us on penalties. i think the england team definitely need to practise penalties though, they said theyd been practising but i think they definitely need to practise a lot more, though isnt ricardo meant to be one of the best at saving penalties so that really wasnt in englands favour

ok, rooney, well what can i say about him. i can fully understand why he got frustrated, i know thats not an excuse, but its understandable when hes been pushed around and nothing gets done, and then he accidently treads on the other player. christano ronaldo knew rooney would get worked up by it thats why he came over, if it hadnt been for him, i dont think rooney would have been sent off, it was obvious what he was trying to do, evident from the wink he gave afterwards. and also did you see him start on crouch afterwards as well, im not sure what he started about, but he was shouting and flying his hands around, just that crouch wasnt as easily wound up as rooney and so calmly ignored it. if i was rooney, id have given him a good thump as i went off, hopefully damaging his "pretty" little face in the process! but rooney as a player, i dont think hes brought much to the england team tbh, everyone says how great he is, but england played better footie once hed gone off and i havent seen him winning the game for us in any of the matches hes played in!

id also like to make a comment about hargreaves, im not sure what everyones problem with him is, i think he played really well yesterday, better than most of the other players on the pitch, and he was the only one that scored his penalty, i think people need to give the guy a break. and lennon i think he was pretty good yesterday too
