Went to the pub yesterday to watch the match, 0-0 in the end but England go through top of the group.

As a Villa fan I was ashamed of Alpay's behaviour, what an arsehole. I can't believe DB missed that penalty, I found it very ironic that he's doing that rugby ball keepy-upy practice advert on telly and then managed to score what would have been an excellent field goal yesterday, had he actually been playing rugby!

I got pretty drunk and England go through automatically, all's well that ends well.

ends well? bloody no!
we won and got 16 points but we are not going to portugal!
ARGH!
well, all our own fault though

We are top of the league, I said we are top of the league!
We are top of the league, I said we are top of the league!
We are top of the league, I said we are top of the league!
Etc...

There were no spirits last night, just several pints of the good stuff.

As I was walking through the very packed pub I got knocked and my pint did that funny thing where loads flys directly up and then falls back down. To my horror it soaked the back of some huge chap in front of me, I tried to rub it in with a quick, "scuse me chief", as I placed my hand on him but I think he knew I'd soaked him. He gave me this harsh look and all I could do was try not to laugh as my mates were smirking at me.

Good job we won though, he said hello to me later on. I wonder what he'd have said if we'd lost...

typical british... givving mean looks

"I get knocked down!
Get it over with! you're never gonna keep me down!"

Bah football is there no escape?????

lol we won't be missed in portugal Kes

Norway drew Spain in the runner up qualifier....................bye bye Norway you wont be missed

I'll miss you.
I'll also miss Norway. Rather have Norway then Spain

Unfortunately you'll have to put up with France Kes... The French teams won all its plays against tiny nations... Now we're goingto Portugal and we're going to find out that we are not good enough during the friendlies and during the championship... *shakes his head*

France do look very strong though

Thats another team I'd rather not have. No offense G.P. I love you man but I hate teams that are carried by the referees.

Are you talking about the 2000 Euro semi-final and final ?
(Well South Korea was carried by the referees during the latest World Cup...)

The hosting country is always carried. Hopefully Portugal will be carried in 2004, usually refs dont likes us...wonder why
France started being carried in 98 at home and in 2000.
The game against Portugal made that obvious.

japan too GP!

oh well, we never got qualified for an Euro since 1984 (2000 the exception because we hosted the damn thing)

Well against Portugal I tend to agree, but please remind me if Xavier had moved his arm before Wiltord's kick (I remember the scene but not really if Xavier had moved or not...)
(Just a little word to be added : I think Italy must have won for several reasons.)

PS : What about opening now a Football thread and moving these posts in it, then carrying on the discussion ? ('cos we're slightly off-topic now ; but it's not my fault I haven't seen England vs Turkey...)

xavier did move his arm, but did not intend to stop it at all, so a penalty was WAY wrong!

Well if he did I agree...

that's how I saw it

I told you I didn't remember what he did with his arm...

PS Are you OK with creatin a new Football thread ?

I don't have much to deceide...

well, what can I do if I'm not ok with a new football thread?
close it? no
ban you? no
kill you? no

so, if you want to create a football thread, go ahead, I can't stop you

if the question is, if I'm going to participate in it, the answer is yes

I'm sorry if I asked you your opinion...
Besides, I thought you might help me by banning or killing me...

New thread started...

oh rest assure, I'll get around to the killing

so, England vs Turkey...

Beckham slipped, but I'm having doubt if it would have gone in if he didn't, think he already misaimed before falling

Yeh he was falling down and he had is arms out to stop the fall.
I think he had his eyes closed.
The ref with the flag (cant remember what they are called in english couldnt even see what was going on cos the french player was in front of him. He only signaled it cos the player asked.

linesman I think

well, I think you are the expert on the situation kes

DB wouldn't have missed, he's the man.

I think the Turkish FA are going to be fined BTW. Hurrah!

fined? what did they do?

Not totally sure yet, heard the end of a news bulletin on the radio at work.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the brawl in the tunnel at half time.

they threw things at the players then ?

I was told there was a massive ruck at half time, bottles were thrown at James during the match and their players were just trying to cause as much trouble as possible.

James?

Calamity James, our goalkeeper.

calamity?
where does he play?

Errr.... in goal.

really? makes sense.... we tried to place the goalie on the forward positions ala Barthez... but we lost 4-0

which team does he play for?

West Ham these days I think.

Never really rated him, but its slim pickings for English keepers at the moment.

what happend to Richard Wright then?

You mean handsome Richard Wright?

Playing for Arsenal if I'm not mistaken.

why didn't he play?
he played against Belgium a year or two ago

Damn that guy looks like he can fly with those!

Oh he's a looker for sure.

Not sure Yerss to be honest. I'd rather play Sven in goal than James though.

!!!


sven? who's that ?

you know Simon Stevenson?

Doesn't ring a bell, who is he?

sorry, then I probably misheard his name

I can check in the weekend

Sorensen ?

Steve Simons! that's the chap I think!

Steve Simonsen ( everton)! Ahhh....

aaah! that one
thought he was pretty good too no?

They're all alike to me (we cannot watch Premier League here )

same here
