June 25, 200619 yr Okay who watched it? That was the most, hysterical, ridiculous match I've ever seen. Had me in stitches! 16 yellow cards, 4 red cards and 6 minutes stoppage time. Top stuff :lol:
June 25, 200619 yr I watched last 20 mins. My God....... Violent boys. What was funny was the shot of Deco and Van Bronkhoorst sitting next to eachother. Looked like children in the naughty corner.
June 25, 200619 yr had sooo much fun watching this game! had a really hard time handeling the presure at the last 20 min though, my god the tense.
June 25, 200619 yr Author Apparently it's a FIFA record! Yeah well Deco shoudn't have been sent off really. Whilst Figo definately should've been. Referee completely lost control of them. They were like school boys. :lol:
June 25, 200619 yr Pure pantomime!! I half expected Dame Widow Twankey to pop out any minute!! Behind you!!:P
June 25, 200619 yr I hope FIFA take note of events today. My only bugbear of international football these days is the theatrical fouls, diving, feigning injury that took place tonight. I almost turned the TV off. Shame on the football governing body tonight :\
June 25, 200619 yr Feel priviliged to have watched the dirtiest game in FIFA World Cup Finals history...the score just went out the window and sadly it became a farce. As soon as it became apparent that Mr Ivanov was gonna book anyone for a minor-ish foul then the players started to throw themselves around like crazy...it is a problem in our beloved game.
June 25, 200619 yr It was a good game' date=' shame about the result though[/quote'] hey!! don't say that!!!!! i am not a football fan and even i was suffering while watching tv in the second part!!!!!! GO PORTUGAL!!!!!
June 25, 200619 yr I think the officials on both matches today were absolutely ridculous!!! And I' not bitter from our loss either lol England really had control of the ball the entire match... but, yes.. the officials were bonkers.
June 26, 200619 yr FIFA's Fair Play went bye bye on this match... by the end of it i was waiting for them just to foget about the ball and start going at each other!!! But i liked to see deco and Van Bronkhoorst together on the bench... and i was glad portugal won!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

But i liked to see deco and Van Bronkhoorst together on the bench... and i was glad portugal won!!!! :dance::dance::dance: yeah... that's the proof of fair-play from both teams in my opinion... it was a tough and quite hard game... both teams are very good and wanted to win... I think the referee gave a hard time to himself showing cards all the time and for everything... the players got nervous ( wouldn't you!?) well, I suffered a lot myself while watching the match...
June 26, 200619 yr i couldn't even watch any of the matches! my tv just scrambled the channel few 2 minutes before the match even began!!!! but it must have been one good match...i guess it was funny too
June 26, 200619 yr there was nothing about football but just violence :) i wanted to watch a real good match but i'm dissapointed.. anyway it was fun :) i hope nobody was injured seriously..:)
June 26, 200619 yr Great Ref ! yea, i think he's great enough to be a outstanding film director!:laugh3: And last night we saw the premiere of his virgin action movie Cards.
June 26, 200619 yr I think it wasn't just ref's fault. it all started with Holland and the way they played at the beginning. i think their tactic was to break Ronaldo's, Figo's and Deco's legs. they were successfull with Ronald. After that everyone lost their head. Portugal was winning and tried to win time, holland didn't give the ball when it belonged to the Portuguese team. The ref gave yellow cards for everything... and so on. At the end it won the best team. Holand had more players most of the time but it was a team without creativity.
June 26, 200619 yr there was nothing about football but just violence :) i wanted to watch a real good match but i'm dissapointed.. anyway it was fun :) i hope nobody was injured seriously..:) I'm sure it wasn't the best match... far from it... but I think you shouldn't complain... you saw a wonderful goal, and some great moments of football... agressive game yes but not as violent as Turkey- Switzerland for sure!!!

No - it wasn't only the ref's fault. The players who got sent off acted like idiots and so deserved to be sent off for "stupidity" if not anything else. Then again, Robben should have been carded for "diving", too!;)

Then again, Robben should have been carded for "diving", too!;) oh, come on!!! that's just bullshit!!! last night there was only one winner... not PORTUGAL, not HOLLAND!!! no, no... ENGLAND was the winner, you know that!!!! some refs in this world cup seem more like applying for a job in the circus!!!!

ENGLAND was the winner, you know that!!!! some refs in this world cup seem more like applying for a job in the circus!!!! The handball for the first sending off was ridiculously "stupid" of the player concerned, and Deco was an idiot for not returning the ball. The players should have made sure they were aware of the rules!!;)
June 26, 200619 yr I'm sure it wasn't the best match... far from it... but I think you shouldn't complain... you saw a wonderful goal' date=' and some great moments of football... agressive game yes but not as violent as Turkey- Switzerland for sure!!![/quote'] i wasn't a player in Turkey - Switzerland match so it has nothing to do with me:) i am just talking about this match and i couldn't see any great moments of football as i saw in other matches..
June 26, 200619 yr Deco didn't return the ball... that's true. But Holland didn't return the ball more than once when they ball belonged to Portugal. That's something called fair Play in my book. The first Deco's yellow card we had a man down and the ball belonged to Portugal
