i always said Lampard was not good enough to play for England.

I was not suprised when he missed his penalty.

Does anyone know when England actually last won on penalties?

We won one in Euro 96, against Spain I think. Then we got beaten by Germany, again! Not sure if we've won one since.

Against Spain, quarter final Euro 96.

All I can say is that Rooney did not deliberately stamp on the player, and he's been sent off for putting his foot down where he can't see where it is going. Utterly disgraceful. The ref was biased to Portugal most of the match, the Portuguese players for the most part were diving all over the place as usual and the ref books Hargreaves for dissent when many Portuguese players were being as, if not more vociferous in their protestations and nothing was given.

And yes, Man U training camp is gonna be fun I think.

Based on that performance, France on their Spain performance or Brazil are gonna beat them without much trouble me thinks...

If ever proof was needed that Spain can't win in major tournaments...

If you had one, the next game would only have been another torturous 90 minutes of long-ball at Crouch anyway.

Still, Murray has gone a set up against Roddick in the tennis . . .

Oh no, slow motion replays of the penalties....

lol, watching Analysis.

Ronaldo has been a cheeky boy.

Never the less.

Referee has been poor throughout.

I still think yesterdays game with Argentina and Germany during Extra Time, Maxi Rodriguez's was a penalty when he was fouled by Lahm.

But since Germany was the host, referees have to be a bit easy on them.

Yep, gotta say it's Germany v Brazil again for me. Same result too, please (although more goals would be nice because, for me, this World Cup has been dire, in terms of entertainment value).

Hooray. Two months of being fucking football-retard free. Go and see some cricket, or even better the Proms.

Yay. England is reclaimed (if briefly). retards.

Celebrate!

That's all. Now go and stick that St George's flag up your arse whilst I sing Jerusalem and re-claim the goodness of England.

you kiddin me?

I think three has been some Great Goals, and some great games.

Only game that i think has been below par was Switzerland and Ukrains game. Even the Shoout was poor lol.

..Then again, it could be that this is the first World Cup i have actually sat down and watched with enthusiasm so
