I think Belgium didn't make it to the quarter finals when they hosted the Euro 2000 with Holland, not sure though.
Happy to see Figo lose at home. It's going to be tough for Portugal now.

Any comments on yesterdays abysmal collapse, there Mank?
Totally outplayed them for 89 minutes. Too bad they play 90 plus stoppage time.
Either one of two things happens from this: Engerland realizes they can beat anybody if they play their best or they collapse. There's no middle ground after yesterday.

BTW….Becks should never have taken that penalty with Barthez in goal, he knows him too well. Either Rooney or Owen should've taken it and it would've been 2-0. Silvestre gets a red (which he should have) and it's game over. The only reason James didn't go off is because Silvestre didn't…let's just play the fucking rules here refs. 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 agree with you on the Becks thing.
How much is United going to go out and spend for Ledley King now?
What in the hell was Gerrard thinking?
And but for Zenadine, the frogs would have quit. He makes that team so different than the usual group of french guys who quit in the face of adversity (dating all the way back to the 1600's).

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).

Hangs head in shame……..
I wasn't able to change my flight. The Reagan funeral business left flights out on Sunday at a premium. I tried all week to change the flight to a later flight, but there were no other flights on Sunday. When I called the airlines on Sunday for one last shot, they told me that if I wasn't there an hour before my flight on Sunday, that I would likely lose my seat. That made my 4:15 flight a bad time for me to watch the first half as I had planned and then get over to the airport. Tell him I'm sorry.
It's truly my fault because I bought the original ticket thinking I was in the clear because the match was at 11:45 - one problem - the match was 11:45 Pacific Time. It was 2:45 ET and I was screwed so I had smackette set the Tivo and I paid for the game, watched when I got back home in SF.
Bad bad smackie.

france beat england
james toseland, a very good looking british motorcycle racer who is one of the fittest men on the planet (he beat beckham and others in a fitness test) lost the superbike championship lead to regis laconi….a frenchman.
randy depuniet won his first ever gp, another frenchman.
sunday was a good day to be a frog.

Oh yes, I am from Spain but have always pretty much disliked my national team and have always followed the Netherlands. If Davids and Seedorf are in good shape, they can beat anyone.

Oh, and the Krauts up early on a goal that can only be described as…..yucky.
Van der Saar should have saved it.
