Fuk sake! We were doing well, one nil up till 90 mins and then Heskey had to give away a free kick just outside the box! bastard. Then the pass back to the David James was just disasterous, and ended in a penalty. So pissed off, we had them, it was just stupidity that let them win.



The second half was a shambells to be honest, the French had possesion of the ball for the most of it.

i am so gutted. that was the cruellest defeat ive ever witnessed. :( }:-@ :( }:-@ :( }:-@ :'( :'(



to be fair, i thought tactically the second half was pretty sound - let 'em come at ya and defend well at the back - which they did. my boy ledley was sound as a pound. if we could have kept and retained possesion that would have been much better, but we just don't do that well - if we could have done what brazil did to us in the quarters 2 years ago we'd have been laughing.



im disappointed to fuck, but there are positives to be gleaned - we kept the supposed best team in the world at bay for 90 minutes - in fact when we weren't defending we looked awesome at times.



if they can learn from this, and then play like we did today for the rest of the tournament i'll be happy man.



we shall be redeemed in the final - oh yes.

You don't think you're taking this too seriously? Let's talk about hockey instead! }:-)

*ignores previous post*



We will come back, stronger than ever!

8O 8O !!! 8O 8O



i suppose if your not into you wont understand.



its not just the defeat, its ht nature of the defeat. we bloody had 'em gaaaaah.



i really hope we meet them in the final, and put right this wrong.

how ace was rooney looking?? the lad is def the new gazza, he's so strong on the ball.



we will do well in this tournament, i can feel it - the players won't be happy, they'll have a point to prove now.

He was fookin great! taken off and replaced by...I think Heskey, good choice :sarcasm smily: Rooney was probably knackered from that amazing run he made, when he was knocked down and the penalty was given, pure quality.



Didn't even notice owen.

I did watch the match, but our country didn't qualify so I don't really take sides in this one. I understand the feeling, couple of years ago we lost (in hockey) the world championship final by the same sort of lucky last minute goals.



It's just my little special service to salt your wounds. Why did you come to this board whining about it? It's not like the whole world is interested. }:-) ;-)

And hey, what do you think your press will make of this?

ENGLAND SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT IN A SPORTING EVENT.............AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D :lhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahol: X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D X-D hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

hmmmmmm, let me guess chemd 'up - are you scottish or irish?



only nations with crap teams are generally this bitter and jealous. (are you listening soundertow?)



;)



yeah IP, i can see what sven was doing using heskey but when wil he learn the emile is a big game choker!!



shame about owen being anonymous, i dont think he had a good game, he was marked right out of it - as was henry for 90 minutes grrr.

what a huge disappointment. the game had so much hype to it. and we all thought we could do it, england always rise up to the challenge of playing the big teams. so many team mates playing against each other, you knew this game was gonna be exciting!!



the pub i was in just exploded when lampard scored the first goal. and the standard of football we were playing was excellent. but i was shocked to see beckham miss another penalty, or rather that clown bartez saved the penalty. we could have sown the game up there and then if it had gone in.



then those 2 injury time goal from zidane. that really hurt. the shear disbelief of seeing our certain victory erode away to us being a goal down, unbelievable!!! it was very reminiscent of man u's victory over bayern munich when they did the trebal. i really don't remember that much about the end of the game. whether thats down to shock blanking out my memories or the fact i had been drinking down the pub all afternoon i dont know.



look on the bright side. we did play well. did anyone see the croatia and switzerland??? they look like very easy teams to beat, not that you can take anything for granted in football!!!



now where is my mobile gone?? i had it before i got drunk last night....

i'm glad they didn't win for one major reason i will be able read a newspaper as if they won we wouldn't hear the end of it and also agree with chemup'd ha. ye lost and you taught you were going to win and is james worse keeper ye have ever had.

sour!!!! why are ireland not playing????



i do agree david james is a week link in our team.

because mick mccarthy and roy keane were fighting and we were missing our best player for the qualifiers, i'm surpised none of ye are blaming beckham for the miss.

well done sweden. what a great match!!

5 - 0!!! 8O 8O 8O



blimey.



i hope we don't meet sweden at all - and this was prior to this match as well:



1) we havent beaten them for donkeys - always a draw or loss

2) larson will have a point to prove after always being slated for only cutting it in the SPL and being too chicken to play in the proper premiership

3) freddy lungberg will as feck you over - fact.



david james is a weak linmk, i agree, but he did ok against france - well he wasnt troubled really but he looked solid gathering crosses, which is where he nearly always falls down on.



with regards roy keane - hmmm - losing your best player is no excuse - its a team game not an individual performance. face it, they just didnt cut the mustard. ;)



what i dont get is i always cheer one of the home nations on like scotland or ireland, yet england always get stick from these lot. very unsporting, and def a big bunch of sour grapes to be had.



you can't diss becks, he's one of the greatest players in thw world. alright he was a bit quiet and had a duff penalty kick, but you'd rather play with him than against him.



now heskey on the other hand........ ;) :)

No mention of the Hesk... gets people in an understandable rage.



5-0 is a bit extreme, scary infact. Nah, we got nothing to worry about



I still believe!
