Well if there wasn't a biased ref and the penalty shot wasn't rubbish then England would have won and still be in Euro 2004. But that is life.

Favourite Footballer: Nedved because he is quality.

Also like praseodymium, europium, dysprosium, cummingtonite (magnesium iron silicate hydroxide) , fuchsite (Cr-rich muskovite) , howlite (calcium borosilicate hydroxide), Colin"Palm Tree" Powell, and Attilla the Hun (who was probably shorter than Aesop, who measured about 3' 6").

That is quiet funny, not that short people are funny. Just that 3' 6" is not heard of too much nowadays.

Lol, blaming the referee again (who did an excellent job)...

Take it like a man, it was a foul. Would have liked to see England and Portugal in the semi final though...that is life.

Yeap well that is what I told everyone in England. Just thought as these are international forums I would make a fast point. I must admit that refs are always remembered for the bad parts but he was mainly good. Are you Portugese then and how tall are you?

No I'm not. But my heart is, at least until wednesday.

How tall I am? I am Three Times as high as a man, and I can strangle a bull with my bare hands, and I have no idea why you're asking this question :rolleyes: ...whateva :smile:
