L3thal Veteran Posted June 25, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2006 How do you think you will fare against England :p? To be honest, like I have been all this World Cup, I am in no bit worried. Why? Costinha won't be playing and thank god, because he does nothing good for the team and Petit or Tiago are better than him for his spot. Deco, he will be missed, that is a no-brainer, but Simao will start in his place (be assured of that) and he is faster than Deco. Having said that, England, sorry to say, has been playing bad, bad football so far in this World Cup. That, accompanied by the excellent replacements we have for Costinha and Deco, has be confident for the England match. Hopefully, it will be a game full of fair play, unlike the Dutch and their all out assault like they were playing FIFA Street.:no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/52/#findComment-587640425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePitt Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 well. was a bad game and the end to one of them on this cup.

Julius Caro Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 How can you make an accusation like this? Did you somehow forget that Portugal had just as many cards as Holland!! :angry: But as a side note: This was one of the most exciting world cup matches I have ever seen. Portugal had more. I think they were the dirtiest...

theyarecomingforyou Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 How can you make an accusation like this? Did you somehow forget that Portugal had just as many cards as Holland!! :angry: Holland started the theatrics and diving early and the pushing of the Portugal guy after play had stopped was disgusting... same with the Holland keeper elbowing that guy after an aggressive slide (the slide was wrong but after play has stopped you do NOT attack back). Neither side played fair but I would say that Holland were easily the worst side.

leesmithg Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think F.I.F.A. will turn Luis Figo's yellow to a red for head butting. Bring it on Portugal, you won't rip off England like you did in Euro 2004.

S.MULLA Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 its going to be soo much mroe easier for england now- since portugal players wont be able to attack for the ball as hard as they normally do-since nearly the entire team are on yellow already.. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/52/#findComment-587640449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 25, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2006 Its sad that no fair play was exhibited by the Dutch two times when Portugal kicked the ball out to have a player assisted AND when the ref paused the game for an injury and had a "face off" in midfield with the Dutch refusing to give the ball back. They didn't deserve to progress :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/52/#findComment-587640450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it will be a game full of fair play, unlike the Dutch and their all out assault like they were playing FIFA Street.:no: Some fair points. I am a bit scared of Portugal, not really because of their players (although they do have a lot of quality) but because of Scolari. Scolari is by far a better manager than Sven will ever be, his tactical knowledge can win a game on it's own. When England go behind in a game Sven just sits there. I think Steven Gerrard will be vital for England, and Rooney will have a point to prove after breaking his foot against Portugal in the Euro's. England have been playing very poorly and I have been critical of them, but the thing with England is that they always raise there game against good team's, so we do have a good chance. As for the discipline, even though England is one of the most physical league's in the world, our team generally has good discipline (although Rooney may be liable to break a few leg's). It will be an awesome game though, I for one cannot wait :D! No, Martyn. Both had 2 red cards; they finished 9v9 I was referring to the total number of cards issued (yellows and reds).

phedot Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Portugal had more cards! By the way did anyone see Simao kick Van Der Sar in the face? That looked like it hurt :pinch: And did you see Kuyt boot on Ricardo's groin? Now that got hurt ;) well. was a bad game and the end to one of them on this cup. Feel sad for netherlands, they deserve to win, well, at least the last 20 mins Hell yeah they played better since Costinha was sent off...It was 11vs10.

ineedsleep Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Clearly you have no idea what football is. The dutchs started everything when they ****ed C. Ronaldo. I've been playing football for 15 years of my life, I believe I have some idea of what the game is about. Cards do happen in games. Just because the first card was issued to the Dutch, doesn't mean they are to blame for every other card. Portugal were the ones headbutting behind the ref's back, delaying the game, and causing more drama than the Dutch.
