That 1st one is the best (with the doggie) and goes quite well with this , saw it on another post article
as soon as i saw the email with what you said phat i thought "hes not english" and i was right... at least we were there
regardless.. I could be English as far as you know who happens to live in wales. Fact is fact. The keeper was obstucted. You lost fair and square.
Yeah, the disallowed goal was probably 50:50, and it all depended on the referee, but what isnt right is the fact that english players were being penalised and booked all over the place, while the portugese players were getting away with the same challenges, and a lot of the time worse challenges. OK, maybe a few times you could give the ref the benefit of the doubt, but that happened all throughout the game, there was definately something going on!
sounds like classic home-field advantage. just like every world cup i've watched, the home country always progresses further than expected due to lenient referees. world cup 1994 - USA made it past 1st round, world cup 2002, korea made it to the freakin 3rd place match [a JOKE]. oh and 1998, do i need to say how far france made it?
Could possibly have been sour grapes on the part of the ref though, dont forget Egland beat the swiss 3-0 a few days earlier.
