Jesus! What an explosion of cheers from the big screen outside. You'd think it was the final. LOL. England, look out. We're gonna be HYPED now!

LOL, eep!

VERY happy for you - you certainly deserved that win.

What a weird fucking game, lol!

Very weird!


England are gonna HAVE to step up their game now!

You can say that again. lol

 

[Weird Harold]

This is wrestling, not football, lol.

That ref is doing a CRAP job of keeping order - cards flying out all over the place, and now order is breaking down.

Fascinating stuff, but I wanna see some footy!

I was starting to wonder if that was two soccer teams or four hockey teams!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Well, I'm very happy with the outcome of this game. We lost Deco and Costinha, who are two fundamental players (and maybe Cristiano?), but this was the sort of battle we needed to get the group hyped up enough to start playing football like they mean it!

Haha, I liked the way the players from the two teams that had been sent off were sat in the stand together, bitching about the ref amongst themselves. They showed a shot of Deco and the two red-carded Dutch players sat together, looking quite exasperated - united in their hatred for the ref.

Neither. It's football.

Incredible boxing match!
The noise outside is unbelievable, God knows what will happen if they manage to beat England.

Same thing here. That's why I say this may just have been worth losing Deco.

They won't. I've just shaved a St George cross into the back of my hubby's head to bring extra luck. Buggered if I'm shaving it off on Saturday night!

yeah that was so cute!


Okay, bed now -night all!

 

[Liar]

Dutch players' behaviour is being beneath contempt. What a disgrace.

Biased are we?

There were 2 teams on the field.

Who both apparently thought they were playing hockey.


Weird game. Entertaining though. And between the cards, some really high quality football.

Only one of them had a key opponent surgically taken care of in the first 5 minutes of play, and only one of them did things like not returning the ball after a play being interrupted to assist one of their own injured players.

 

[SnoopDog]

Those were definitely two teams that didn't deserve to advance. What a disgrace to the sport.
I agree it was mainly the ref's fault, but hey, who said that players could not have the courage and skills to stay calm and behave like grown men?

You're mad. That was the best most exciting game so far.

But Liar is still right ... there were two teams on the field, both of whom actually were a disgrace to the game. The ref might have made a few mistakes but the red cards were deserved ...

Neither team should have advanced for that game.

Well, you think the game is called soccer, and there I agree. This wasn't a game of soccer (girly american style). This is FOOTBALL!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

And you're both mad. By the end of the first half, Portugal had committed one foul, against seven by the Netherlands. By the end of the match, Portuguese players had committed a total of 10 fouls and seen 9 yellow cards.

And I thought the Portugese considered themselves the Brazilians of Europe. You oughta be able to outplay the Dutch, not go berzerk on them.

And you think it was the best game so far???? You better get your stuff together about great football.

The Brazilians of Europe? Go insult someone else. lol

And you call the game soccer as well, so bugger off.

Well, it seems somebody is kinda annyoed that Portugal sucked. At least they won't be a real thread to any other team.....

And, it's "football" where I come from.

Today's matches:

England, 13 fouls committed. Ecuador, 24 fouls committed. Portugal, 10 fouls committed. Netherlands, 15 fouls committed.

What's your definition of "berkerk"?

Well, there fouls and FOULS and teams that assault each other and players that give opponents headbutts and players trying to injure their oponents and....want me to go on?

You can't just break it down to statistics !

And remeber, I admitted that the ref was too hard on them.

Still.....

Yes, go on. Headbutts and trying to injure their opponents. There was plenty of that in this game. How many of them were by Portuguese players?
