Also, I heard Ronaldo put Cole on his arse, kicked him in the head and ran off grinning.
I can't confirm this yet, but if he has, I love him more than ever. |

91, I partially blame you for jinxing us in this thread. Also for being a Spurs fan and thus being at least guilty by association for harboring Helder Postiga.
Anyway -Cole actually defended very well, although he got away by the skin of his teeth once or twice. -Campbell was as good as ever. -Terry was crap, seriously Dazz he can't play like that for Chelsea because he was goddamn awful last night, kept getting caught way out of position, giving away stupid fouls, and completely lost Postiga for the goal. Only thing in his credit is he took a good penalty. -As I said from the start, Beckham didn't show up. We seriously need to think about what his value to the team is right now, because he added f>uck all. -Lampard is unbelievably the man. After the number of games he's played this season he was still there right at the end of extra time to score (he did give the ball away a bit though - but then they all did) -As soon as Phil Neville came on I just knew we were f>ucked. Seriously, what the f>uck kind of challenge was that on Rui Costa for his goal? If you're gonna bring on a defensive midfielder...well, don't bring one on to start really. But Dyer would've been a better bet, if only for the amount of energy he has. He could've moved onto the left and Scholes gone into the centre instead of Gerrard, if that's what he wanted (Gerrard did look knackered) -When Rooney got injured Vassell was the wrong choice to bring on. Heskey should've been brought on (can't believe I'm saying this) to give us an outlet to keep the ball in their half and allow the midfield to push on. Hitting long balls at or over Owen and Vassell was only ever going to have a miniscule chance of creating something. -And yes, Hargreaves was shockingly bad. |

If I ever see Cristiano "Spencer" Ronaldo, I'll deck him. What an arsehole.

Whats everyones thoughts on the England captaincy?
Personally I have never been in favour of Becks being captain, he is overrated and the only quality he posesses is that everyone respects him. He doesn't lift the team or anything, I think that Gary Neville or sol Campbell should be our captain. Neville is our most senior player having played in his fourth European championships, and although I hate the guy, Frank Lampard approves of him and says he was the one that lifted the team after the France game, so I suppose he does something right. |

Well, wrong count or not he's still been to 5 major championships, only Campbell (I think) can match that. To be honest I don't know if he'd accept the captaincy, he seems to be more of a behind-the-scenes leader than an out-and-out captain type; personally I'd say Campbell is the perfect candidate.

Yeah Ince was, not sure if he was the first though.
Inaki Saez has left his job as coach of Spain, and Marcello Lippi will replace Trappatoni as Italy coach once the latters contract runs out. |

hmmm time for my thoughts.
i think becks should step down - but he isnt. i feel neville should replace him as he is our most experienced player in terms of big games (both with united and england). no one has played in more major tournaments and he has the respect of the team and lifts them after we lose. also id like to see room in the team made for a holding midfield player who can do the job. oh yeah and a big striker. |

By the sounds of things, these captaincies were very brief and we've never had a regular black captain. Not that I'm about to spaz out over it, it's just an interesting factoid.

0-0 Greece and France at half time.Greece have gave a good account of themselves really, unlucky with a header which was just held on the line by Barthez.

Well, I was just saying to myself a few minutes ago "France just aint doing this right now" and what do you know. I still reckon France will turn it around, and if they do, they'll win the tournament.
