I'm a severely gutted England fan right now, but I'm coming to terms with it.

ONLY because, with the help of Azul, we've found many people/things to blame on this uncharacteristic defeat.

Please add more you feel would contribute to the cause.

The Portugese Goalkeeper.
The Swiss Ref.
Sven.
David Beckham.
That bloke down the road.
Arsene Wenger.
'Big Phil'.
Nike (for making their boots/shirts).
Brighton Beaches for the sand they used on the field.
Jonathan Ross.
Groundskeeper.
Groundskeeper Willie, also.
England.
Football.
The BBC.
Eye gunk.
Toblerone.
Aliens.
Lack of sex.
Hooligans.
No Robbie Fowler (age 29).
Sol Campbell.
Eusebio.
Car flags.
Pierluigi Collina.

Any more?

Anyway . . . let's just face it, ENGLAND ARE OUT, there is nothing any of us can do about it now.

The only way wwe can make our selves feel better is by going to the Albino Swiss ref and punching him in the face!

Just realised; Campbell's also to blame, for not making everyone else play as good as him.

Ah, fair enough.

Still, there's no way it could've been a free kick to Portugal, unless there's some rule about the boot being an obstacle or whatever.

Photo tells very little about what happened.
Both players running towards the ball, Rooney looked like he was going to shoot but then fakes out of the shoot, this is when the other guy and Rooneys foot came into contact, totally accidently and not considered a foul.

Why was it not a penalty?

I can't particularly remember the incident, so I'm not arguing this for or against, but the ball was in front of Rooney. The defender, from behind, stood on his foot - surely that's disallowed? No?

Just wondering what your arguments against it are.

1. England can't play football
2. The ref was biased
3. Portugal played better

Engalnd just suck at football, bottom line.
