Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
I was in the middle of writing you all a letter of condolance last night but himself came in and I had to offer sympathy here so I never finished it.
However in my attempts to cheer him up I touched on a very sore issue.I mentioned that they may possibly in the next two years have got it together enough for the World Cup.He said that he didn't care about the WC  as he didn't think they would be good enough but that he really thought that they only stood a chance of winning in Europe but not the WC.
Is this why the over the top support was so over the top?
Incog.  Who will no doubt have to listen to the students moaning and b*tching about the ref AGAIN today.
Maybe I can cheer them up by pointing that they have two years to work on penalty shootouts.Or maybe not!

Incorrect, just ask Spain.
I said a few days ago that the extra days rest would count against us. In the Croatia match towards the end Gerrard looked dead on his feet, Beckham looked like a tired old man in the post match interview, after that game as well. Gerrard had one of his worst games last night and the midfield four with the exception of Lampard looked jaded. I thought the disallowed goal was a bad decision but had it been the other way round, I would be inclined to agree that Terry did have his arm on the goalkeeper. 
Question, Has David Beckham scored from the spot since he did that advert with Jonny Wilko, hoofing balls over the bar. 
Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville all played very well.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
Sorry I was wrong about penalty shootouts for England. As iadom said. England have had 5 shootouts since 1990 in World and European championships. Only 1 have we won. That was in 1996 Euro champions.Against Spain. We won 4-2 on penalties. That was the only time. Lost all the others. 1 out of 5. Not good enough. By the way, the following match after Spain in the Euro 96 was with Germany. We lost on penalties. So as I said we are not good enough. Mind you I still support them. It's just that I can't see them winning a world cup again or indeed a euro cup for the 1st time unless they do some drastic changes of playing style and training.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
Not really, we just need to play like we do in the premiership, attack as much as possible, they can't go forward IF we attack non ?

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
For most of the time England were the most tired, lack lustre team I have ever seen. They were robbed in my opinion by that disallowed goal, but in the end the better team on the day won.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
According to a report on 5 Live, the Swizz  referee has since stated that he blew for a foul committed by Sol Campbell, before he even went up for the header.
