+there is no such thing as a bad penalty which hits the back of the net.
Batistuta has the best scoring record out of anyone in the team and did a lot to get them there it is absolutely criminal to suggest he shouldn't be there especially as he has their only goal of the tournament.
The reason why they lost is a) because they had a bad day in midfield as a result of being out played by scholes and butt. B) the values of most of their players is over inflated so they appear better and C) their defence isn't great (placente,ponchettino and cavallero aren't very good.) They have samuel who is excelent but he can't do everything with ayala out of action.
Thewhole match was foul after foul, and i am glad to say that most of them were by the argies, it was a penalty and like KR said, if hedidnt go down the ref wouldnt have given it.....but whos complaining it won us the match!!
Becks did do one thing back to the argies....and it wasnt a little tap as you all fine well know.
and even though contact was made, you don't just collapse on the floor like that!
yeh but if he had of not gone down like that the ref might of thought that Owen had slipped over
> Annoying little brat!?! what are you on about and it wasn't a dive
> there was contact
If you actually read what Solskjaer said he mentioned that there was contact.
They had more than enough chances but they went for power with their frustration and bad tempers and blasted them into orbit!
I know also think it was a dive by Owen - but just time very well!
I've seen it over and over now, and even though contact was made, you don't just collapse on the floor like that!
Every other player who IS fouled in the box goes up and over in the air - but those look like blatant dives, and would make it simple for the ref to spot.
No-one thinks of Owen as a cheater, just an over-rated annoying little brat from Liverpool!
But hey, at least we won the match - and we deserved to with the number of times we hit the target - unlike 'them'!

No, excuses only come AFTER losing! :-)
But you laid some foundations, just in case, on 5th June...
