Euro 2004

I'm guessing that there'll be limited feedback as most people on here probably didn't watch the match. England scored a perfectly legitimate goal in the 90th (last) minute of the match. It was 1-1 and if the goal had been allowed we would've won. However the Swiss referee was all over the place - he should lose his job. Its sad that at this international level of football (soccer) there should be such an unprofessional referee. It wasn't just that - to complain about that would be immature. But you should've seen him; he got in the way of the ball three times, making both sides have to actively avoid him. He carded people who didn't touch diving opponents, yet when a player was grabbed around the neck and pushed to the floor - nothing. If that had happened in the street it could have gone to court as ABH, or at least assault. Well, yes, I'm feeling suitably irked.

Such is life I'm afraid Ozy <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Admittedly the referee should have been more experienced if he was making those mistakes; alternatively, it could have been a one-off brought on by the level of the game involved. Just cause you aren't in either team doesn't mean you can't be nervous about your performance <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> For fear of offending people, I'll just say comisserations England, and better luck next time! Even if I never watch a game you play, I'll always have the match updates shouted through my Halls of Residence <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' />

lol life sucks sometimes...tbh im surprised there weren't riots in Portugal. Before, the threat was that we would be disqualified, but if we were knocked out anyway... Not that I wish there were riots - anarchy and mindless destruction/violence isn't something to be condoned.

Go Switzerland! Winners of the America's Cup! (Why on earth is a land-locked country in the middle the Alps holders of a yachting trophy? <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /wacko.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wacko.gif' /> I hope when it's time to defend it they'll put wheels and the yachts and race 'em down the mountainsides. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> )

Being a bloody Yank, I don't pay much attention to football (soccer), but congrats anyway to Greece for winning the Championship. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' />

Awesome! There are people here that follow soccer! I watched the final. It was a decent match, little disappointed that there weren't more goals.
