NMH Title: portugal Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 21:33:37 What can FIFA do about Figo's headbutt? Looked to me like the referee gave him a yellow for it ( :-))( ), and video panels don't usually look at incidents that the ref has already dealt with..... or am i barking up the wrong tree?

The ref wasn't even looking at it...so maybe he got a call from the assistant. Hate to think what Graham Poll would have made of it.....Portugal have a bit of previous in this from Euro 2000....Deco is a cheating little shit and better off for not playing v England.

I thought the same.... but if the assistant had said, "Figo threw a headbutt", to the ref, then surely that's an automatic red? Made me think that he may have booked him for something else......backchatting perhaps?Title: portugal Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 21:49:54 Its possible....we need all the help we can get.
Title: portugal Post by: strooood on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 21:49:55 i recon we're gonna do them.
Title: portugal Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 21:51:38 Quote from: "strooood" i recon we're gonna do them. I'm a bit more optimistic about this one than Ecuador...hopefully the memory of losing on pens 2 years ago may motivate some of our players to put in the effort. Title: portugal Post by: Nomoreheroes on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 22:03:59 I think that England will play very much like Netherlands did against Portugal. Got to make sure that we don't conceed then hopefully snatch a goal.
Am excited about this game, which is not a good sign as I normally think we'll lose !

I'm a bit more optimistic about this one than Ecuador...hopefully the memory of losing on pens 2 years ago may motivate some of our players to put in the effort. my thoughts exactly.... really quite nervous this morning because it was one of them where england were never going to perform. but like you say, it being portugal might drag the best out of them. after just catching the highlights i feel quite happy about the performance. couldnt really take the game in after all that magners in wankabout but it seems we did alright. rooney looked classy throughout and the midfeild didnt quite click but they've definetely got another gear. cant wait for saturday. Title: portugal Post by: STFCere on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 23:20:25 i think we will be lucky as we always are..perform crap...crap goal...scrape through 2-1 england
Title: portugal Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 23:27:31 What crap goal like Joe Cole's, probably the best individual goal of the tournament and Beckham's free kick wasn't bad either. :roll:
Title: portugal Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, June 25, 2006, 23:35:17 figo could be getting a ban too, but perhaps with all the cards given out they won't want to worsen the record?
looks good with all their suspensions though. i'm still waiting for us to turn in an extended period of decent football though, i think we've only managed about 30mins in total so far (not that i'm part of the england-bashing bridgade who criticised our group performances, i thought all were solid). decent opposition should bring out our best.

I would go further and say the entire Portugal team consists of cheating little shits! That team really does inspire feelings of hatred in me, hopefully England will suddenly remember how to play football and we will give them the proper stuffing they deserve! As long as we beat them though I couoldn't give a shit how we do it, I am just desperate for a little poetic justice to be served!

Title: portugal Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, June 26, 2006, 17:35:31 Look at Germany last world cup. Stumbled to the final and lost, but if we did that we could have a real chance of winning.
