No - the pitch was rubbish. Owen said they had the same issue @ the other end yesterday, and yet nothing was done about it. Sven even complained to UEFA- this is the kind of thing that is so annoying about the game.

We played 11 vs 12 tonight

yea i aggree.. 11 english vs 11 portugese + 1 swiss

I really didn't think the ref was biased at all. Infact in the beginning I thought he was biased towards England, they seemed to be getting all easy fouls. While Portugal's posession of the ball was like..60-70% to like 40%-30% of Englands, but in the first half they didn't seem to be attacking alot. Too much defense England.

too funny how all the Britons complain about the referee and the penalty spot. Becks just could have stamped it down, too.

I thought it was a really nice game though. :happy:

I haven't got a problem with the penalties - the game shouldn't have even got that far as we won fair and square.

I thought the Germany vs Czech 2nd team was nice aswell. :happy: :happy:

At least you weren't cheated...

its aweful - he was no anywhere near the spot where it took place- and couldn't possibly judicate! The line judge who saw it gave it!

im just disgusted- when the bbc went back to the comentators, they just looked disgusted.

Agreed! This is why we need video jury!

So England played a bit weak - so what. Thats not at stake here. The defence held strong -you have to remember that we lost one of the key parts of our winning team - Rooney.

The simple fact remains that the quality of the game was aweful - not interms of play specifically, but in terms of the pitch, and the adjudication.

And to say Beckham could have stamped it down - how was he to know?????

He leant towards Portugal in the first half with cards and penalty's, and gave a bad decision on the last goal.

To me that didn't seem fair.

Wooh, this discussion is hilarious. No really. All of you basing at the ref, the portugees and so on. I understand you're ****ed you've lost, but come on, it was a good game to watch, exciting, and completely fair from a neutral point of view.

Read this in a couple of days again, when you anger's gone, you'll laugh your ass off, guaranteed.

Porto wins Manchester United... blablabla Ref, Portugal Cheater blablabla

Porto wins Champions League... blabla Ref, Portugal Cheater blablabla

Portugal wins England... blabla Ref, Portugal Cheater blablabla Pitch blablabla spot blablabla

whatever... Portugal deserved to win this one.

It's sad to acknowledge your bad loosing. Posts like "Portugal burn" and similiar just show your real "you". In lack of valid arguments, you start insulting my country. It's typical. I'm not going that way. It's childish. You should hear what your coach, Mr. Ericksson and other english reporters said after the game. I really hope that you read tomorrow's european sports newspapers and sites to learn how to respect and to know something more about football and its rules.
