Horrible perfomance by Sweden the first fifteen minutes.
Our "well organized" defense was a ******* disgrace.

[composite word including 'f*ck'] it.

:(

And Larsson missed a penalty.

[composite word including 'f*ck'].

I am so ******* sad and drunk

:o

I am not satisfied with Swedens overall performance this WC.
We won one game out of four.
We scored three goals in four games.
And why, WHY did our defence collapse during the most important game?

The ref was a joke (he didn't win the game for the Germans though).
Just look how ******* happy he is when he's carding Teddy
Image

for this incident.

Klose passed Lucic and he stopped him in a way the rules forbid. I'm not sure, but I think there would be two Germans against one defender. Yellow card was justified. The fact that it was Lucic's second yellow and he was sent off is a different matter. :)

IMO it was a harsh decision to card him. Usually when this happens (the player already has a card) the ref will let it slide and just give the other team a freekick.
Lucic didn't exactly punch him in the face or something similar.

That booking was total cock, the ref is bent as! That was never even a first yellow.

That officials doing Argentina V Mexico were **** an all. The refs were mainly good till the end of the group stages.

It would seem thay've all turned into dicks now though.

Sweden were gash though, Germany look a good team.

Carrick played well.

Lampard didn't really contribute anything. Very frustrating.

Beckham was arse until he scored a blinding goal. To be fair he said he was suffering from some bug and vomited on the pitch after he scored.

Lennon looked lively. I hope we see more of him.

Job done.

The winner in that match is definitely England.

That Ref must collect extra per each card he shows.

This thread is f***ing gold! :) :up: Why the h*ll didn't I look in here earlier?? :wtf:

Best of luck to you british lads, you may not play very fun games, but atleast you're doing good enough to keep it going. You don't have to play superb, but you will play to survive, and that's all that ******* matters. Winning is all. :)

Where was RVN?

Has he kicked up a stink or something?

If Figo does't get a red after FIFA review the match then there's clearly something bent going on.

Figo's gotten away with it on the grounds that the referee booked him following the incident. Despite not having seen it. So what the hell did he book him for?

It's all a bit stupid, isn't it?

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/worldcup06/ ... _nigh.html

Match was absolute quality entertainment. Highlight for me was Deco getting a yellow for letting himself get thrown to the ground.

Poor Netherlands. :(
Grrr. Argh.

Italy - Australia is smokin' hot!

Red card for Italy now.

I love Australias way of thinking. "What the [composite word including 'f*ck'] is Italy? Alessandro Del-who? Lets win this ******* thing."

It makes me think of Sweden, and how we're always thinking "The other team is waaay better than us. Lets die".

Australia were chicken shits.

****** 11 v 10 for a half and they didn't ecen attack. How many times did they go back to defence as soon as they had to play a risky ball?

Refs are getting ****ter and ****ter.

1. That was a ridiculous foul call in the ITA-AUS game.

2. I want the life that I spent watching Ukraine and the Swiss play back. Those were horrible PKs. They're going to get beaten down by Italy.
