Originally posted by VargIt was an outrage that Ronaldo wasn't allowed to play with his stablizers, so of course he kept falling over but bravely got up each time
Shameful, shameful game.
Henry's penalty was very questionable.
However, Portugal could have come back - the second half was all theirs - but every time they got the ball near the goal they inexplicably fell over!

Interesting that the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey fans are booing Ronaldo 😛
Did you ever consider the possibility that many Ingerlund fans, with more money than sense, obviously, had already counted on England reaching the final, and bought tickets for the semi?
Yes, the French were booing Ronaldo. Well done, genius. The French, your oldest rivals throughout the centuries... were booing (not whistling, as they might do in France) and booing (as they do in England) the fellow who sent your sorry lot home, because they secretly love you all. Yes, that's it. You've worked it out.

Originally posted by sjegYeah, obviously none of the French fans would have bought any tickets for their semi-final prospects. They would have all be kind enough to let the England players have them just so they could jeer at Ronaldo. Good thinking, Brains!

You got any more laughable, deluded racist theories you want to blurt out so we can all carry on laughing at you and you can carry on trying to get another hard-on from your Anglophobic fantasies?
Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveNo sour grape here. I like both the French and Portuguese sides. And I'm looking forward to seeing the final. Forza Gli Azzurri!!!

No no, just suggesting that i wouldn't want to be in Lieutenant Colombo's shoes tonight, because if the Commissioner gets wind of Daemon Sin's deductionary skills, he might well be out of a job.
Sour grapes by definition is when your four panellists on the Beeb and four commentators on the Beeb and the other side declare for France because Portugal beat a certain cr@ppy side in the quarters.
While you're gloating over the French victory, dry those tears of phony joy. At least you can look forward to the final. You didn't really want to be in it anyway, what with how these Latins cheat and all... If it weren't for Aesop... you might say the English invented the sour grape trick.
Originally posted by Daemon SinYou're too quick, Lieutenant. You might ask a Frenchman if he's ever actually boo-ed anybody to confirm your ingenious theory.

Anyway, if you enjoy seeing the more odious sasanach getting their comeuppance, as the footballing world does, then we'll have to get a more imaginative fantasy- the old watching Ingerlund heading home after the quarter finals has been getting pretty repetitive. Plus it's not a fantasy if it invariably happens. Not that it gets any less fun, mind.
Now why don't you walk out of the room, and then wait a second, come back in and say: 'Just one more thing. My wife was telling me the other day that...'? It's always a classic.

I think it was a great game and kudos to France for their excellent defense and midfield. Brazil couldn't break you and neither could we. Figo had the best chance with the header at the end but we just couldn't cut it.
Clear penalty, no questions there. Also Ronaldo was our best man on the field causing headaches for sagnol and abidal the whole match. Pauleta is and was our weakest link (as usual) and we paid the price of Scolari's fallout with Nuno Gomes.
We had the team to beat France but we just weren't good enough on the pitch today. Deco was also very static and in poor physical shape.
I'm still very proud of the lads. We tied our best result ever and being semifinalist is a great footballing achievement for a country as small as ours. Time to think about the Euro qualifiers, our next game is useless and we've got nothing to play for (unlike Germany).

Originally posted by Daemon SinI thought the point was that French crowds don't boo. They whistle, as do people in many other European countries. Boo-ing is a rather Anglo-Saxon thing to do.
Great deflection tactic! Talk bollocks and hope the other person gives up eventually.
Of course, me and the other few million people watching the match must have imagined that we heard two-thirds of the crowd, booing, hissing and jeering everytime Ronaldo got the ball, all because Sjeg's 'grasping at straws' theory disagrees 😲
Originally posted by PalynkaBecause the French goal was based on a very suspect decision - I think it was no penalty.
Why shameful?
And, while Portugal had many chances, they didn't take them but would rather dive for a free kick.
Credit to the referee he tried to let the game run and ignore this - the Henry penalty was one of his only mistakes.
Originally posted by VargThe referee was to my dismay (as no cards would have cost me over £13,000) very reluctant to give a caution as I assume he didn't want a player to miss the final for a marginal decision on his part. But good for the game, I think the there was only 8 mins to go (plus injury time) when he gave the first of 2 yellow cards.
