what if there's no Becks...?

 

poor performance by England, but they won

 

^ Agreed!

 

First half was totally crappy. They have some good players, but the way they play is simply boring. It's funny how Frank Lampard could never score like he did for Chelsea in the last couple of matches though.

But England were much better in the second half this time, and Ecuador never really looked like doing anything.

And if England are winning without playing at their best, then watch out the rest!!:P

Ecuador did good

 

 

Christiano Ronaldo cried :cry:

Aaaaarh.... Poor Ronaldo :bigcry:

Come on Holland :)

great goal by Maniche, poor Ronaldo and stupid Costinha...that summarize the 1st half doesn't it? :rolleyes:

 

i think NED still have chances to score especially with 1 man advantage, but they need a big improvement. maybe some subs would be good for them. i miss Ruud from their team, though he had a conflict with van Basten, so i'm not sure we'll see him today

Yep, we need to score again, to beat portigal, whom we lost to in euro 2004.

 

11 men against 10 men, comeon the dutch

It seems like Ronaldo is out of WC. If he is, that's sad.

 

Uh I don't wanna Ned to score, penalties would be awesome though.

I'm not watching the game, but apparently the Dutch seemed to be targetting Ronaldo?

 

Anyone share an opinion on this? It's just what I heard on the radio. If it is seemingly true, shocking tactics from the dutch. No respect for that.

:stunned:

 

I think we'll be seeing blood any second now

the game is getting out of Ivanov's control...

oh red card! :stunned:

 

Portugal 1 vs Holland 0 @ 32:49 2t:D

14 yellow cards...

 

but still no goal :(

15 yellows and 3 reds.

Oh crazy match.... But it's interesting to watch.

Hi Dave :)

 

 

This game is so over...

Your mean :(

This is great news for England. Portugal will probably win and then be without most of their best players for the quarter-final. Game on!!:)

And once again the Dutch have self-destructed. Yet more unrest in the camp, Van Nistelrooy left out in the cold etc.:rolleyes:

Well we tried our best, and knocked out some Portugal players for the english :)

 

But 6 minutes of injury time left, and many players on yellows...

 

Could the record for most red cards in a world cup match be broken?

So what is your connection with "Cheeseland", anyway?:thinking:
