agreed. he didnt play shit though, just ineffective as usual. the freekick gives sven the excuse not to drop beckham. he hasnt got the balls to drop him. beckhams set peices are great yes, but i know gerrard and lampard can whip great balls in too. beckham hardly gets in wide areas. lennon would and he should get more time against portugal

What a farce that game was, shame. Good game until the cards started coming out left, right and centre.England Vs Portugal again, should be interesting.

yeh bad game. ref was card happy. portugal without deco and costinha. ronaldo might be doubtful too. it will be a good game for sure. third time lucky for england?

😆 What an insane match! The ref completely lost control of this game. Can't wait for Italy vs Australia tomorrow.Btw, Figo should get an award for his wonderful performance on the field today. Not for his playing of course but for his acting.
nice headbutt too
shit...my wife doesn't want to see me...she's so pissed -.- 😄
aw christ... as always...the Netherlands have kicked themselves out of the tournament...playing dirty when not needed, and Portugal joining into the chorus was just the tip of the ice berg...hell...i love the world cup for those matches...

if you would've asked me this before the tournament began, i would've given you a clear "No Sir! certainly not" but how the team evolved during the games surprized everybody here...
I say we have a good and realistic chance to win IF we play them like we did against Sweden..but that's of course easier said then done...
50:50...anything can happen...
He doesn't need to be, he's a better player. Nice to know it's all about the football. Anyway, that's what this thread is for. If you want to talk about Beckham's looks, I suggest the MS and C Forum.

I'm actually looking forward to that game, very much.
I think people have underestimated Germany. I'm not even going to put it past Ghana to pull something out of the bag tomorrow. I'm not saying I think Brazil will go out, but it certainly didn't look like Portugal would progress further than Holland.

Bah....The WK is getting boring when the best team is eliminated by an inferior team.
Pleonasm.
Edit- did anyone see how Sven isn't afraid to take Beckham off? Pulled the man right off. Subbed him as well.
Admittedly he was vomiting, and there were a few minutes left, but Sven showed he wears the trousers.

i dont think it was about showing anyone that he had the balls to take him off, he just knew he didnt need to strike, he needed to defend, so he switched him in with a defender. he wanted to save beckham for the harder games later on.
