Beckham is a diving fuck

Wengerland 06-13-2004 04:40 PM

WOOOOOOOOOO

It's been fairly even,i would say France have dominated possession and things but England are defending deeper.

El Capitano Gatisto 06-13-2004 04:42 PM

That goal has glossed over a terrible performance from Lampard and Beckham.

Scholes has been excellent, as good as Zidane. Gerrard and Rooney, as well as the English defence, have been good too. Really Lampard and Beckham were the ones conceding possession too easily and letting England down in the first half.

France are unlucky. I had a feeling when Beckham went down, he was going to swing in a good free kick and score from it. It seemed like the likeliest way England were going to score.

Rob Ban Fan 06-13-2004 04:45 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">yeah, i felt that too. Owen needs to get into the game too and we need to pass it about more, we've got Gerrard and Scholes in the team, we shouldnt have to resort to hoofing it up the field.

France can feel hard done by but if it stays this way, ill take a win anyway we get it. :p</font>

Owen's job today is to pressurise the 2 central defenders.

Did you hear them fans singing "ARE YOU SCOTLAND, ARE YOU SCOTLAND, ARE YOU SCOTLAND IN DISGUISE"

El Capitano Gatisto 06-13-2004 04:47 PM

England don't want to be sitting back that far in the second half and trying to hold out. Henry has been quiet, and I really think he'll try to pull out wide and get into the game more this half. England are defending very deeply, so if Zidane and Henry come from deep, I can see it being troublesome for England. They need to keep the ball more efficiently.

toxic rooster 06-13-2004 04:47 PM

PS STUPID "THE MASK". I WANT MY PATRICK VIEIRA AVATAR BACK :rant:

Rob Ban Fan 06-13-2004 04:47 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">and he has't really done that, he's been deep and hasn't done too much. If we start passing a bit more, keep hold of the ball, hit them on the break when Gallas and Lizarazu are forward, we can win this.

Rooney has been a handful though.</font>

But his tricks are getting nowhere, especially since there are always 2 defenders around him. Alright, back in 45 mins time

Ogen 06-13-2004 04:57 PM

Rooneys been excellent still have faith in France though

toxic rooster 06-13-2004 05:04 PM

I do say, Pires has put in a decent cross or two

Ogen 06-13-2004 05:23 PM

HA!

toxic rooster 06-13-2004 05:24 PM

Wow, Barthez :eek:

I knew he was going to save that penalty.

Also LOL @ barthez copping one in the face

Loose Cannon 06-13-2004 05:41 PM

HOLY SHIT AT ZIDANE

MoRcHeEbA 06-13-2004 05:43 PM

LOL way too lose England

Loose Cannon 06-13-2004 05:44 PM

I don't know if you guys are listening to the same commentary as me, but right before Zidane scored the announcer was saying how Zidane scored with a right smash against England in stoppage time a few years back I guess. Forshawdowing right there.

Goldbird 06-13-2004 05:45 PM

FUCKING ZIDANE. :mad:

Oxstar 06-13-2004 05:46 PM

I feel fucking sick now England have lost

toxic rooster 06-13-2004 05:47 PM

Ah, the beauty of being neutral :cool:

Rob Ban Fan 06-13-2004 05:47 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">I knew he was going to score that, I FUCKING knew it.

I honestly dont know whether to laugh or cry right now. You cant write that bullshit.</font>

Loose Cannon 06-13-2004 05:47 PM

Don't worry. you'll get past Croatia and the Swiss, I think. :-\

Oxstar 06-13-2004 05:48 PM

If I wasn't English I would support France

Loose Cannon 06-13-2004 05:48 PM

It was really that Barthez save on Becham that gave France hope.

Oxstar 06-13-2004 05:51 PM

Why didn't Silveste get sent off? Fucking stupid cunt ass ref, it's cause the fucking ref is a german cunt.

Cactus Sid 06-13-2004 05:52 PM

Oops.

Tony Montana 06-13-2004 05:53 PM

Takes the piss :(

James should have been off too then,by that logic.

Probably the same reason James didn't get sent off ie I don't know

Cactus Sid 06-13-2004 05:54 PM

James definetly should of gone

Rob Ban Fan 06-13-2004 05:55 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">It was common sense not to send James off. Yes he should've gone but it was the last minute, they had a penalty, they were going to win, they didnt need to send him off.</font>

toxic rooster 06-13-2004 05:56 PM

Also, Silvestre didn't get sent off.

Wengerland 06-13-2004 05:56 PM

Can't really complain,seeing as we lost from a 2 goal lead 4 years ago.

2 goals conceded in injury time though,i thought i was wacthing England,not Leicester.:'(

Tony Montana 06-13-2004 05:56 PM

I hope Henry gets snapped by Stephane Henchoz and gets a career ending injury. As for that baldy little Chelsea fuck Makele, Rooney should have knocked him out :mad:

Cactus Sid 06-13-2004 05:56 PM

At the end of the day, England are lucky that Croatia and Switzerland are sh</>it.

El Capitano Gatisto 06-13-2004 05:57 PM

You can't expect to defend that deep against a team like France and not expect them to score at some point. England didn't defend well so much as France didn't attack very well.

Sometimes it takes a moment of brilliance to win a game, and Zidane is brilliance in human form.

The Mask 06-13-2004 05:57 PM

We sat back far too much for a 1-0 lead, dumb cunts.

all dirty scousers or ex-scousers to blame too, apart from beckham's penalty, but then that's ex-manc fabien who saved it :shifty:

I wouldn't count two set pieces as greatness, but fair play to them.

You wouldn't count that free kick as brilliant?

What standard are you going by here?

Rob Ban Fan 06-13-2004 05:59 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">not really, England are a good team. We just got undone in injury time by a couple of the best players in the world. Part of it was bad luck.

The way Spain and Portugal have looked so far, had we been in a group with them as well as France, id still be convinced we'd go through.</font>
