The match was devastating, being that we were winning until the last two minutes...

Oh well, good luck to England in this new match, and just for good measure:

Hier, j'ai fait mon essai français de grammaire et mon prof m'a donné vingt sur vingt! J'ai célébré en mangeant quelques grenouilles, mais puis j'ai découvert qu'elles étaient des chats. EEEEUUW!

You may have a slightly better football team then us, but we'll bore you to death any day of the week with utter French drivel.

NB. Preferably not on "mardi grand"; I have plans (packs suitcase with condoms)

Errr - who would the 12th be then. The ref was definately harsh to both sides; both teams had players needlessly booked.[/quote]

lol i know
He isn't as good as he were in WM 1998 and goalkeepers such as Buffon, Toldo or Casillas are much better
I just wanted to fool around because he kept the penalty

Tie breakers
If teams finish level on points, then the winner of the match between the sides in question will finish highest, or should they have drawn, goal difference, followed by goals scored, qualifying record for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2004â„¢, a fair play ranking and finally either a penalty shoot-out or drawing of lots.

Quote: "Départager les ex aequo
Si des équipes terminent à égalité de points, le vainqueur de la rencontre directe sera qualifié. Si elles ont fait match nul, c'est la différence des buts, puis les buts marqués, la campagne de qualification pour la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA 2002 et pour l'UEFA EURO 2004™, le classement du fair-play et enfin une séance de tirs au but ou un tirage au sort qui viendront départager les ex aequo."



So, please France, it's about my money!

Play Nice! Play Basic!

Here's a little quote from a German sports show at half-time:

Quote: "Quite embarrasing how bad England plays... If they keep playing that bad they run the risk of disaster.
Switzerland set them under pressure like if they were the favourites."


or

Quote: "The English actually tried to play offencive in the first few minutes, but they were incapable of holding the ball in their team..."


Of course they didn't just say negative things about you
They said for example too that only a great team can make a goal of one chance...
and Switzerland played much worse in the second half....

But my point is: it's not like we just found you played bad, it's also Germany who thinks you played bad. And i assume (from the point that Germans and Swiss don't like each other) there are many others who think the English played a BORING game...

Anyway i don't want to argue... Switzerland isn't that good
BUT the way YOU English played was pretty bad, and no way are you going to win the Euro like that

Sorry boys and girls.

Of course Sweden will be the next champs.

Well, at least if there's any fairness in the world. That kick that Zlatan Ibrahimovic did in the last match against Italy was just pure gold.

Italy is basically out, even though they want to think that they're out because of a huge nordic conspiracy rather than poor sportsmanship from their players and because of poor play. Italy is out because the team is having a nuclear meltdown.

In the quarter finals we'll (of course) beat the Czech republic.

Yah it WOULD... or better it WOULD have been funny...
But tho France and England are individually too strong...

BTW in Czech v. Netherland, did anyone else find the Spanish referee a bit pro Czech or was i the only one?

What a brilliant performance from Rooney. He is pure class lets and he didnt get yellow carded. We made Croatia look ordinary and Scholsy deserved a goal. Was Beckham playing cause i didnt hear him?

That's what puts me off as well Pinch - the idiots you get who think that they can judge the kind of bloke you are just by hearing which team you support. I remember standing in a que to a nightclub behind a Dunfermline (lowly first division team) player, he was talking about football with this guy, who promptly smacked him in the teeth because of the team he played for. I can't stand people like that.

*Cough* Figo. Ronaldo. Deco. Rui Costa. *Cough*

I think Portugal or France will win the tournament. One thing which really gets to me is when all the commentators etc on tv all talk about england as if they're already in the final. One guy was saying that it's a good thing england came second in the group becuase then when they get to the final they'll have an extra day or two's rest than their opponent.
