And not only do you lose, but you whinge and whine, saying you lost because England scored a goal that the Ref dis-allowed. The best thing I've heard so far on this subject reads as follows:
-
Josh (Spacktard ref. Portugal = cocky tw*ts): You realise how immature your msn name is?
Mark (haha you smelly English pikeys!): what about yours? LOL
Josh: Mine's true
Josh: did you even see the game
Mark: no
Josh: Then you cant say stuff about my name
Josh: how do you know the ref didn't go shooting everyone with a machine gun?
Josh: hmm?
Mark: i bet u didn't watch the Wales v Russia qualifying match
Josh: I did....
Josh: Russia ro>
Mark: apparently its ok for commie bast*rd Russian c*nts to be higher than a kite in a sporting event
Josh: you lost...so...
Josh: haha you smelly welsh pikeys!!!
Josh: *smells boosh*
Josh: tastey.
Mark: a ref's decision and being on drugs are two completely different matters
Mark: being on drugs = cheating; not liking a ref's decision = being a nob
Josh: the ref was biast
Josh: even the commentators said it
Josh- I bo: the home team scared him

"The home team scared him". The home team scared the Ref?! I think not, you England football team worshipping window lickers. I seriously doubt that the entire Portugese football team gangraped the Ref into dis-allowing that goal; or held a gun to his head; or tied him up, hung him over a swimming pool full of ravenous piranhas and gradually lowered him closer and closer to the pool until he gave in. Fact is, the Ref made a decision that the England team - and indeed the fans, who will undoubtedly give our United Kingdom a gloriously retarded reputation by rioting into the wee small hours of the morning - didn't like and so it's all comments like "The Ref was biased" or "The home team scared the Ref" or "Ouch! We lost a game that we'd actually won".
Now when Wales lost their qualifying match against Russia a few months back and later on a drugs test carried out on one of Russia's players came back positive, and I brought this up in conversation with England supporters not long after the game... I heard comments like "Oh, Wales just made that up 'cos they lost" or "That drugs test was never proven to be correct" and other such verbal diarrhea. You avid football fans really, really, REALLY make me laugh. In fact, you don't realise just on how large a scale you make me collapse in hysterics. If it happens to another team, then you couldn't care less and you dismiss something like a DRUGS TEST COMING BACK POSITIVE as being made up or whatever. But if the Ref - ooooh and I'm just using this as an example - DIS-ALLOWS A GOAL THAT YOUR TEAM SCORED, then he's wrong and the goal shouldn't have been dis-allowed and that the opposing team had threatened to unleash a flesh eating virus upon him if he didn't dis-allow it! Pffft.
So to summarise:
A Ref dis-allowing a goal can happen in a football game. If he deems it necessary, then it probably was and you should stop moaning. We all knew England weren't going to win EURO 2004 anyway. Frankly, I couldn't care less whether or not Wales or England or fecking Costa Rica win EURO 2004 (though obviously Costa Rica even qualifying for it would be a bit of an eye raiser), but seriously, don't moan if your team loses and claim the Portugese Mafia bribed the Ref, ok?
Rant over.
The second goal they messed up a little, but the first goal was f--kin rocket, no way in hell was that gonna be stopped.
They didn't play well but they showed enough character to win the match.
England Lost.
They lost because they were crap.
If they had defended better, Portugal wouldn't have scored 2 goals.
If they had attacked better, England would have scored more goals and therefore the disallowed goal is irrelavant.
Sure, maybe it was an unfair decision by the ref, but it was a referee's decision and that's all that matters. And if that one moment in time had differed, who's to say that England would still have won? The continuity of the Space Time Continuum would have changed and events would have played out different.
PROBABLY NOBODY BOTHERED TO WATCH BIG BROTHER LAST NIGHT!
> Stage 3: Denial
No stages, no denial - we won. Simple as that.
Maybe someday you guys will know the feeling and anticipation of having your national football team in a large tournament....actually probably not.
> ENGLAND. LOST.
Nah, we won.
