Zidane's Headbutt Discussion and also some stuff on that FIFA World Cup 2006 thing

[Croyles]

Ok thanks for the info!

I was looking at the players' quotes after the germany - argentina match and, well i dont often say this, but argentinian players really seemed to be bad losers about it, and thats not just about the fact that they started lashing on the german players, and one guy running and hitting the other in the back of the head.
Penalties isnt all about luck, yes its part of it, only in the fact that the goalkeeper might make a lucky save. Everything else is keeping a cool head, not getting nervous, being confident, and shooting well. Ayala made a poor shot, and I dont think that is being unlucky.
I guess I would probably be saying the same thing though, so i'll keep quiet...

Um guys could I possibly draw your attention to a thread I made in this section that concerns the European Champions League
It's just a little concern I had about the prejudice against smaller nations of football and I'd really like some opinions from other followers of the much celebrated sport. Thanks

Taking to advertising now are you?

Germany is going to win, the home field advantage is too big to overcome... the US is the only team to choke at home, well and Japan too in 2002, but Korea did well that year

THE JACKEL

[Croyles]

Not really, loads of teams that hosted the world cup didnt win it.

[-N-]

I can't hate on Italy for that performance. But I can try.

What does that ref think he's doing!? Did anyone see that? What did Rooney do so bad to get a straight red card? There were 3 portugeusemen grabbing Rooney's arms. We're being robbed.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

I hate that darn giant!What you talking about did you see what Rooney did to Ricardo!?

[dragoonknight_kain]

Yes, Rooney deserved only a yellow card, at most. FIFA probably instructed the refs to sent off anyone who stars a fight, to avoid another Portugal-Netherlands.

Edit: Rooney pushed someone, I don't know who.

[~SapphireStar~]

Yeah I missed that part and was told that 2 defenders fouled Rooney and he got a red card!? That ref should be shot. I hate extra time, its such a pain in the butt!

one guy running and hitting the other in the back of the head.

I was wondering about that. Does anyone actually know the reason for it? It wasnt the whole Argentina team though, just that one prat who have made Argentina look like very sore losers. I was backing Argentina, but now ...England or Brasil I say.

[Shoden]

But The Portuguesemen pushed Rooney first, triggering the fight. no Portugeusemen were booked in the incident even the ones that grabbed Rooney's arms. The handball in the penalty area wasa robbery though.

[Yamaneko]

This doesn't look good for England.

EDIT: Haha, Viana misses too.

EDIT2: Wow, a lot of misses today.

EDIT3: OMG

EDIT4: Kind of funny how it all came down to Ronaldo. Tough luck England.

[Doomie]

smurfing Portugese.

[Outer Heaven]

England is out!

[~SapphireStar~]

England is out!

Yes thank you, we know.
Oh my god, how sick do I feel right now.
WORST MATCH EVER! I blame the ref for that whole mess of a match. No Beckham, no Rooney and no Owen. Disgrace.


That polls going to look every odd now.
