Had the frogs been 2-0 and a man down, you could've had 20 minutes of injury time and we would've won.
I think your goalkeeper should have gotten the red card. Henry was the last player. As for Silvestre, you still had Barthez. I think it was a stupid play by Silvestre, but to get him a red card? not sure. I am sorry for England, but to see a Madrid player miss a penalty kick sounds good to me (better if Zidane hadn't scored any goal though).
Silvestre should have gotten the red for hacking Rooney down..GAME OVER, ENGLAND WIN!

I agree James should've gotten a red for bringing Henryetta down, but the ref was never going to do it having not done it earlier in the game.

randy depuniet won his first ever gp, another frenchman.
sunday was a good day to be a frog.
Lets vote,

Who would like to continue this thread about Euro 2004, and who would like to switch it to some blokes riding bikes?

I vote Euro 04!

Mankie, in your penalty you still had Barthez. However, James was the last player. Yellow card for Silvestre, red card for James. England is like Spain, always favorites, but at the end of day they lose pretty easily in the quarterfinals.

I'm not talking about the last man rule, I'm just saying he should've gotten a red just by the way he brought him down. It was deliberate and a pretty harsh foul. I've seen players get reds for much "milder" fouls than that.

Anyway, no biggie, if England get to meet them in the final, paybacks are hell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't todays results mean either Spain or Portugal are not getting through to the next round?

Should be a good game between those two.

You are correct, however Spain only needs a draw, Portugal needs a win. Should be fun to watch nonetheless.

And I don't need to tell you this, but Group A winners and losers play Group B winners and losers.

unless Greece somehow manage to lose to Russia, then yes, either Spain or Portugal are done. or we could also see the always exciting 3-way tie which comes down to the dreaded "goal differential"

I have never felt more confident about the England team than I do for this tournament. I know we lost to France, but outplayed them, and they are probably the best team in the world….Brazil is always FIFA's #1 but that's just arse-kissing BS as we all know.

I really believe we can beat any team we may meet in this tournament, unless they self-destruct which is always a possibility with England…but I just can't see it happening with this squad and manager.

BTW, it's poetic justice that Russia went out so early. They cheated Wales out of a place during the qualifying rounds by fielding a non-elligable player.

Spain only needs a draw, but it is in these important games when they can't beat the pressure. I bet that if Greece plays well against Russia, Spain will be out. However, Russia is the typical crazy team that, being already out of the tournament, they might beat anybody.

You'd fuck Keano though.

En-ger-land looked good today. Though the results would make it look like they were dominant, they were far from.

Wouldn't fuck him, just a BJ!
;)

Funny old game innit? You can outplay a team and lose 2-1, then be outplayed (first half) and win 3-0!

Croatia 2-2 Frogs

Another Zidane free kick and awful backpass gift goal. Can't the stinking Frogs score on their own merits?

Should make interesting final games for that division.

No, I have always felt great admiration for the Netherlands. As for Spain, Spain has never had confidence, it's always the same, I would be very happy if they won the tournament this year, but this time I think it is a young team (and Raul shouldn't be playing just for being Raul).
