only just had time to post

i thought England were poor.. we all know Rooney isn't a lone striker and doesn't really hold up the ball that well.. he is far better when the play is in front of him and he comes into it abit like Gerrard when he does well with liverpool

thought most of England played badly and not sure how they picked someone out for man of the match as i never saw anyone stand out

Germany didn't play great in the group stages but they used the same system the whole time and then when they had to they played better against Sweden, something we couldn't do.

We were still poor and had about one shot on target from a free kick.. Ecuador caused us a few problems so what will Portugal do

The ref in the Portugal \ Holland game didn't have a clue and shouldn't have been there at this level.. he spoilt a great game and if i was the Holland FA i would be demanding a reply.. as soon as the players started to realise he would book everyone they just played into his hands with all the diving and rolling about.. i think really there is a case for FIFA to wipe them all out and have no bans or anyone on yellows

as for the Figo head butt yes he shouldn't have done it and got a card for it but the holland bloke over reacted.. there is no way on earth that it would have made anyone fall over let alone even hurt you.. it is ridiculous that Figo could get banned from TV evidence but when they watched it they will see a Dutch bloke cheating and pretending to be hurt and he will get rewarded for that..

according to the Laws of the Game unsportsman like behavour is a yellow card offence but i've seen players waving yellow cards at the ref to get other players booked.. i've seen players patting the ref on the back when they have booked someone.. i've seen players clap the ref too and nothing has ever been done about that

if you ask the fans do they care about players wearing jewelery and do you care about players cheating i'm sure i know which one the fans want to see stopped yet which one is that FIFA working on cutting out of the game ?
