I hope you could watch the game, LoA, it was probably the best game so far.

Why is it all the self-proclaimed intellectuals hate life so much? They spend so much time in their own little world they fail to realise the fun that can be had.

There's one thing England rarely do, and that's fail to entertain

The likes of Italy and Germany, take note!

poor beckham.

ok he hasn't been playing that well, but i can see knives out in the papers already and its not just his fault if the team didnt play better than Portugal - i'm looking forward to the match later

Well done Portugal - its good for the competition that the home team is still in.

England had no-one to hold the ball. This sums up the game rather nicely.

BTW, now that I have the relief to know ze Rosbifs can't possibly do better than us, I sure hope the Greeks will raise hell and be extra agressive tomorrow. And if it means France loses, then let it be. I want entertaining matches, full of suspence and full of cheering!

My mother had just purchased a summer house in France back in '91-92 something. There was an important football game where Sweden beat France (was it the WC qualification, can't remember?). My mother watched it with her older sister and her new neighbour, a retired gendarme from Paris who commented "Sweden defended well". Then the two old ladies (60-70 years old back then) sat in their Austin Mini and drove around town, honked and waved a Swedish flag out the window!!!! What a sight that must have been!

From a purely dramatic point of view, what a beautiful game. A literary genius could only have made it better by having us lose like this in the last game of Euro 2004, not this early into it.

i suppose that it would have been a great match to watch if I had not been English. But, look at it this way: Rooney is going to be worth so much Everton could by a new team and write off their debt at the same time.

I am annoyed, and I am not a nationalist, certainly not an english one.

What is there to smile about? " I am such a cool individualist, and I don't give a **** about the people who surround me"?

Gosh, I thought that socialists should be against that kind of thing, Relativist-New-Age "thinkers" ( ) put aside.

Well Rooney has a broken Metatarsal (sp) so wouldn't have played again anyway.

It doesn't matter whether or not England played well or who played better, England did enough to go through and it's only through appalingly homebiased referring that England aren't through.

I think even an Englishman would have considered the great to watch, until the very last English shot.

Come on, give it a break. There were far worse referees in this cup (ask Italians and especially Latvians!) Referees in general are very quick giving a foul for the goalkeeper in the 5m-room and Ricardo certainly was slightly held. I'd like to see refs letting play a biot harder there, but this a general objection.
England is out because Rooney got hurt and Becks is a loser.
