Yeah, and therefore he didn't score. So the match finished 2-2. And England lost on penalties.


It was a foul. Maybe a weak foul, but a foul all the same. Maier would have given exactly the same decision had the foul happened at the other end... or if it were two completely different teams contesting in a match.

Sol Campbell scored. It's just somebody decided it didn't count.

It wasn't the ref's fault. It was England's fault.

You didn't score more goals than Portugal in normal time, and you couldn't beat them on penalties.

But it was the ref's fault that Portugal beat us, it was, it was, it was. But it was Gerrard's fault that France beat us.

I assume against Argentina you're talking about the referee that sent off Beckham for his kick on Simeone? How can that qualify as getting "cheated out be a c*nting referee" when Beckham actually did lash out at him. Okay, maybe Simeone over-reacted a little, but that happens in football, and if you're going to have idiots like Beckham flailing about on the ground in an attempt to make contact with an opponent, then they deserve to be sent off.

And there was nothing wrong with Urs Maier's decision. Get over it.

Indeedy.

England will never win nuffink...

Or so says the past 40 or so years...

um england got cheated out by a c*nting referee against portugal and argentina

seaman and james made big mistakes against brazil and france

we mite have done better if them problems fdidnt occur

And that group can't happen as the likeliness of England being a top seed, Brazil being a second seed, France being a third seed and Germany being a fourth seed is... well, zero.

Cheated out of your matches?

Ahaha.

Yeah, Brazil sure did cheat you in the World Cup. If of course, by being a better footballing side counts as cheating.

And don't give any of the crap about poor referees or bad pitches. The opposition have exactly the same problems.


England won't win the World Cup in Germany.

They can, as the squad easily has the potential, but it's just not going to happen.
