Two words only:
HA HA!!

let me hit rooney, and ronaldo and sven and beckham and the entire ortugal team

PMS!

Portugal were quite bad really, to not score against ten men, with englands three best players out, and then totally miss two penalties. The Portugal goal-keeper was the best player in the shoot-out.

If only we had Beckham, Owen and Rooney, we could have scored in normal time, and missed penalties altogether....

Finally! We can stop talking about the football and just let it sleep for anoter 4 years!

If you had Rooney and didnt play him as a lone striker you'd have a chance. Beckham is past it and even though I feel really sorry for Michael Owen because of his injury, I thought he was pretty poor in the games he played in.

2 years, theres euro 2008 next.

And thats a tournament I think you will do well in simply because you got rid of that muppet Sven.

Yes, mclarens much better.

Beckham has just stepped down as England captain.

Really, where did you hear that??
Who'll replace him??

And he might have the balls to play Walcott other than just taking him for a free holiday in Germany.

The Beckham/Sven press conference is on Sky News live..and he just announced it about 10 minutes ago.

I really am quite upset about this, as you can tell he has done it because of what the critics have been saying about him. Beckham is an incredible player, and he should have stay captain for the length of his career at England.

Well, i aint got sky, so i cant see it

I heard him say yesterday he wanted to say in the team. Meh, rich people

Oh please God save me!

And the only 'English' player who scored a penalty was Hargreaves! Who plays in Germany, which says a lot for our penalty taking abilities.

i cant believe ronaldo! my opinion of him has changed so much! i hate him! the way he winked after Rooney got sent off and the way he went up to take the penalty with that smug look on his face! i had a rage last night and ripped down all my posters of him.
we should have won that match. we were even better than portugal with 10 men. it all goes back to not having enough forwards again though doesnt it.
we'll just have to knock portugal out of the euro in two years time now wont we.
i also think hargreaves played really well, i cant believe that the fans booed him in the group stage, especially as he was the only one to get a penalty in the back of the net.

yeah exactly. good riddance to him. i hope he does **** off to spain

What Rooney did was far worse than what Ronaldo did.

Few more things to say in this thread.

Christiano should have been booked for "demanding a red card".
IMO Rooney did not stamp on the player deliberately.

When England went down to 10 men we had to ditch 'Erriksons tactics' and played brilliantly. We actually kept the ball and took the long ball out of our game.


As for Penalties- Germany once lost a penalty shoot out in the 70's. They decided this would never happen again.
Since then not only have they won every single shoot out they have played in but they have scored every penalty I believe. This proves that you can practice penalties. I know the real thing produces nerves but our penalties were useless- I don't care how good or lucky their keeper was.

btw good to see Dharma shark not rubbing it in!
and those English people who are happy to see us go out (seen it in a few threads) you should be ashamed of yourselves and I have no respect for you

Terry is to take over as Team Captain.

And Dharma...Rooney was in the wrong totally...but Ronaldo had been provoking him all through that match and Ronaldo and the ref had been waiting to get him and screw us over...

Sticks is right...when we went down a man...we played brilliantly...

I say good Riddance to Sven and bring it on McClaren!!!!

And again Sticks is right...about the shame part lol...

another thing...what i dont get..is how can Lampard..Gerrard and all that score brilliant penalties in the Priemership...but screw up in England

what i have said is whats done is done...we have a new captain...a new manager...lets sort ourselves out!! and come back..and slice the likes of Ronaldo in two!!
