Easy to say in hindsight but he fucked up by changing his mind, his second pen was very poor compared to the first, looked like panic to me. 155364[/snapback] Aye, English players can't do the stutter-step penalty. The whole point is that you stutter to watch which way the keepers going, then go the other way. Ricardo just didn't move so Carragher shit himself.

Special mention for Carragher btw. Brought on as a specialist penalty taker, and to be fair to him took a canny penalty........only he forgot to wait for the whistle. His second one was shite.

Agreed there like. He was fucking immense today. Where the fuck was he finding the energy to keep popping up up front in extra time?! He's the English player I felt most sorry for for losing today - really didn't deserve it. 155357[/snapback] I'll be honest, he wouldn't have been in my squad prior to the world cup, but I've got to give credit where it is due, Owen Hargreaves was phenominal today, one of the very few England players to deserve any praise whatsoever. 155359[/snapback] Should be a permanent fixture as a defensive midfielder in a 4-4-2 from now on. Lampard to make way for him.

I'm not a big fan of France, but it would be a fucking brilliant story if Zidane finished the last game of his career by lifting the World Cup. Especially after a mystery ghost told him to make a comeback.

I don't, I hope he gets to visit every Premiership ground in the country and gets the shit he deserves. 155349[/snapback] Agreed. I would have no qualms if he'd beaten us with a brilliant goal or a defence-splitting pass, but the footage of him winking after the Rooney sending off was too much for me. I hope he stays at Man United next season and has a thoroughly miserable year.

I'm thinking that driving up Friday would be a far more sensible idea, but only of that kind Mr Pud could allow me to doss an extra night. 155197[/snapback] Not a problemo my jizzing friend as long as you can hold it in for the extra day! If I find one stain or mark on the carpets or bedding or cat then there'll be a war on! 155241[/snapback] Pud you're a star !, I'll have to "off load" before hand, otherwise my scrotum might explode ! 155246[/snapback] You could always jettison some fluid off his balcony. Assuming he's worked out how to open the door yet.

I just tried a Pro Evo prediction too. Portugal went 1-0 up in the first period of extra time, so I got up and turned it off before it had even finished showing their replay, so that the computer game didn't have time to have a bearing on reality. :D

This close season AND the previous close season we've been told that Shola was going to have an operation on his hip in the summer. Both times a decision has then been made to just give him injections in the expectation that things would improve. They didn't last year and they haven't this year. Sorry like, but believing this would work once and going ahead with the injections is one thing, but do fucking well do it AGAIN the following season and once again find the injury doesn't clear up is rank incompetence.

I think Simao's been a bit of a disappointment tbh. I'm less concerned about him playing than I would be about Ronaldo or Deco.

I quite fancy a scoreline like that actually. I don't think I can cope with penalties though.

Remarkable really, I wonder what it is that continues to give them the edge despite changes in players and coaches over the last 20 years plus? 155166[/snapback] Cold Nazi blood.

They were saying on the radio last night that Germany have never lost a World Cup penalty shootout - pretty impressive, but not as impressive as the fact that NONE of their players has missed a penalty in a shootout since 1982!? Freaks tbh.

Aye, the amount we've had to look at the little twat this tournament, we could at least see him crying now. Out of order that.

What is up with Tevez's chest?! Looks like he tried to iron his shirt while wearing it.

Argies all trying to chin Bierhoff.

Fair play to the Germans. They are so good at shootouts, it's not even funny.

Argie keeper went to the Shay Given school of penalty saves.

If I could get some sort of guarantee that Lehman would cry I'd like to see Germany lose this.

The Krauts are ludicrously good at shootouts like. Can see them going through here.

Agreed. Maximum pain for one of them.

Was Klose injured? If not, why did Klinsmann take him off?

Leaving work in 4 minutes. Anyone dominating or is it even?

Don't you be looking at me like that, Catherine! 155019[/snapback] I'd put money on the fact that you've done it, like! 155022[/snapback] Highlights as well. 155023[/snapback] Ginger (like your hair) ones? 155024[/snapback]
