Euro 2004

[Herr Matzat]

Did you not see that Ricardo PUT HIMSELF IN THAT POSITION? Terry was watching the ball, Terry was there BEFORE Ricardo dived into the frey.

You English still think every German is against your team. 

It was clearly a foul by Terry and thus no goal. There's no debate about it. There's a professional referee in German TV and he just said Urs Meier made the right decision.

Just for your information: In the small box as a player you are not allowed to even touch the goalkeeper as long as he is trying to grab the ball. As soon as he has the ball in his hands you are allowed to touch him. That's the rule. Believe it or not.

Wow, what a football fan. "The small box." Believe it or not sunshine, it wasn't a foul. A foul isn't when the player alledged to be 'fouled' jumps into, in this case, John Terry. Now, had Terry jumped into Ricardo then yes, I'd agree wholeheartedly - it wouldn't be a goal.

Oh, and your comment about the German ref is redundent. Because the German's are the biggest fans of the English, right?

[Summers]

We cant blame the loss on that fucking disallowed goal. Portugal were all over us aand you know it. And Postiga; You never score for Tottenham but you take the fucking greatest penalty ever and score the equaliser.

David James; Elope.

And I knew this would happen, as soon as we lose we fucking get all defensive. Face it, we weren';t robbed, we were fucking lucky to get to the penalty shoot out. Very Fucking lucky.

Did you miss the part where WE WON THE GAME IN THE FINAL MINUTES, ONLY TO HAVE THE GOAL WRONGFULLY DISALLOWED?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

IT WAS NO FOUL!

Terry didn't take his eyes off the ball. You can't jump without raising your arms, the goalie bounced into Terry. The ref gave home decisions all night and David Beckham played like a puppet.

Good things to come out of the tournament:

Wayne Rooney

Frank Lampard

John Terry

Ledley King

Ashley Cole

Sol Campbell

and Michael Owen in the last two games.

Totally gutted but forever proudly England.

Come on you Czechs!

And blah blah blah blah all you mocking non-English.

Get yourselves an international sport that you care about. Get some passion. Stop playing sports that you created and where the "World Series" is played solely in your country among your own teams.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

I told everyone over and fucking over, IAN FUCKING WALKER. He is the best keeper this country has at the moment with Kirkland out. FFS. When will people understand that? Is it gonna take another James attempted save that hits the post, or another sloppy punch. God dam it.

Settled, you weren't watching the game.

He didn't make an effort to jump - BECAUSE HE COULDN'T. There, I put it in capitals for you, just to help you understand. The 'other player' you mentioned was his own, and he walked into John Terry. Not a foul.

[pens66]

Did you not see that Ricardo PUT HIMSELF IN THAT POSITION? Terry was watching the ball, Terry was there BEFORE Ricardo dived into the frey.

←

Yeah, Terry was just standing there, but as soon as the keeper tries to jump for the ball and a player is in his way and the keeper is therefor touched by the player it's a foul. That's the rule.

[Guest Angry Baboon]

omg.

I rarely watch football but my crotch swells with patrotic pride when it's international tournament matches.

THAT REF NEEDS HIS ENTIRE FAMILY SLAUGHTERING.

The keeper jumped into Terry. That's no foul.

The linesmen, who could see it, gave it.

The ref, who could not, didn't.

FUCKING DISGRACE!

Although, does this mean all the stupid annoying flags on cars will go away?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

So no chance of your premiership predictions league coming up when the season starts then?

So.. you made my point. Ricardo had to run into Terry, to try and get the ball? SO the goalkeeper placed himself AGAINST Terry, causing HIMSELF to fall, by bouncing into two people at full speed. Like I said, did you expect Terry to fucking step back, and allow Ricardo clear path? Because SEEING AS TERRY WAS IN THE AIR TRYING TO GET A HEADER, that could be pretty hard.

[Farmer Reil]

WE WEREN'T FUCKING LUCKY.

Did you even WATCH the fucking game?

Portugal were all over us? YES, BUT THE ONLY MANAGED TO SCORE TWO FUCKING GOALS.

We were DEFENDING. When a team has THIRTY FOUR shots on goal and scores TWO GOALS, it can be said that we defended PRETTY FUCKING WELL. Not to mention the fact that we managed to score three in that time.

We WERE robbed.

Yes, we were lucky to get to the penalty shootout, BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN PLAYED EXTRA TIME.

[Herr Matzat]

Wow, what a football fan.  "The small box."  Believe it or not sunshine, it wasn't a foul.  A foul isn't when the player alledged to be 'fouled' jumps into, in this case, John Terry.  Now, had Terry jumped into Ricardo then yes, I'd agree wholeheartedly - it wouldn't be a goal.

EVERYONE COSPIERING AGAINST ENGLAND~!

there just cannot be a fair way to beat the English superhero megateam B)

you got me now, i am all yours, if england wins, we´ll all cheere how brilliant they were, AGAIN~! - if they loosed, run around and show everyone that it was a conspiracy against thes outlandish island citesens (i mean, they live on an island, why would you not want to conspire against the, even the english conspire against other poeple that live on islands )

annyone going to sing with me ? nanananaaaaa nananaaa naaaaa . . . :smug:

[therockbox]

For fuck's sake, he didn't make an effort to jump.

And you're the type of fan that will destroy football. So what if a player comes into contact with a keeper? He didn't do it on purpose, it was entirely the keepers fault. He "jumped" (BWAHAHA) into him, he failed miserably.

[MDK]

God, Matzat is such a prick

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Our problem is - we go ahead and then like to defend for 80 minutes....Shocking tactics...

BUt we HAD done enough when all was said and done....

And even that was taken from us.

[Summers]

This is it summed up. (Thanks Squancho)

The linesmen, who could see it, gave it.

The ref, who could not, didn't.

Yeah, Terry was just standing there, but as soon as the keeper tries to jump for the ball and a player is in his way and the keeper is therefor touched by the player it's a foul. That's the rule.

So you believe that it was Terry's fault that the goalkeeper dived into him, while he was in the air trying to get a header?

[Dan]

Has anyone watched any of the other portugal matches? e.g the Russia one where the goalkeeper got sent of for "handling" the ball outside his area, when in fact he never touched it.

Joe Royle was right,well he said something about home favouritism or something.

[Robsturgh]

Yes, I mentioned it in my post. But cmon, I knew this would happen, there would be some "contravesial" decision that we would all bitch about. From what the ref saw, he saw a foul, after close inspection from numerous camera angles we saw it wasnt. The ref doesnt have close inspection from numerous camera angles, he just has to call what he sees. We werent robbed. Sure, we were unlucky. But they were unlucky not to score another 20 goals against us.

[Guest Nokturnal]

Damn.

Which ever German was being bias against England, go get yourself a sport you can enjoy, maybe mix it with porn, should help ya.

Someone said Portugal were robbed with Terry 'handling' it, am I right to assume that that person doesn't watch the slow motion replays?

Clearly hit his head, and the Campbell goal, wasn't a foul at all.

Fuck any German ref that says otherwise. The keeper was on his backfoot, therefore he couldn't jump, Campbell fell on Terry and Terry fell down. He didn't touch the keeper, the keeper was already down by that time, as he attempted to jump but didn't quite make it.

England didn't play too good, but yes we were robbed. Fact.
