"That should have counted!"

That goal by Campbell should have been allowed there, there was nothing wrong that I could see. England were just robbed.

Whoever chose that referee was also a fool, considering the fact that England has beat Switzerland 3 - 0 and the ref was Swiss, so obviously he was going to be biased. It's like putting an English referee in Portugal's next match.

Sol Campbell obviously not supposed to be the hero. First he sees his goal against Argentina ruled out in 1998, then history repeats itself against Portugal last night. Although he did give a bit of a shove in the area... to his team mate John Terry!

Agreed. Not just in this match but in general. What was his problem with Vassell anyway?

All that is needed is for the referee to be able to see a replay, or a second ref - like the third umpire in cricket.

Yes im afraid it does matter since decisions like these cost teams dearly. There should be a some kind of justice brought to refs who have shocking games, it happens in the premiership every year yet they get away with it and as a result teams suffer and players and managers who speak out against them get fined.

Yes, but that's one of a ridiculous number of wrong decisions.

Even before the goal, he was the worst referee I'd ever seen.

Going over the top. I can see how he thought it was a foul.

He'll hopefully never ref another game again.

Does. It. Matter?

The only person that it mattered to thought it was a foul.

I thought it was a foul..
