Wonderful sight to see, Ronaldo leaving the pitch in tears, and how about Scolari's outburst at the end of the match against the ref? I don't know how he's got the audacity to go on the rampage like that!! That guy and his team act like spoilt children.

I'm overjoyed Scolari and co are going home, good riddance to bad rubbish and cheats. So in a rare display of unity I'd like to say WELL DONE FRANCE!!

there wasn't much diving.

The Italians really broke with their habbits that game. Offensive and not much drama.

Well the Team Germany earned honor and respect with showing top class performance. And they didn't blame the grass the air humidity or anybody else for their defeat.

Maybe your swedish trained millionairs can try that next time. It's much more entertaining then puking on the grass, nut kicking and loosing against second string because of sloppy training. They shat themselfes at penalites. Need a little piece of paper for your socks btw ?

But probably they don't have to make an effort because they can buy marketing consultancies to sell their sloppy attitude to any feeble looser willingly admiring them for their hairdo or pub thug immage.

No one is making excuses for England pal, but when we see bias, phony referees and cheats we point them out as well even the French crowd last night could spot the cheat on the pitch, good on them!!

Fact is England just didn't cut the mustard when it mattered, but having said that neither did Germany did they???...losing 2-0 to Italy, top class performance I guess!!!

I see nothing but excuses for englands players.

The game Germany vs. Italy was the best in the tournament from my point of view - do you object ?

Not at all, it was a good game.

All I'm doing is stating the case for England, every one seems to like bashing them for some reason, perhaps that's become a sport on it's own!!

Time for Portugal to start diving every 20 seconds :)

That was awful. I can't believe I was rooting for the French! I have to admit, they've been the class act of the tournament so far.

".. and Germany will send them home as 4th."

As I watched all of Portugal's matches, it's the most they deserve imo.

Roll on 2008!

Qualifying shouldn't be too hard, but I never take anything for granted where England are concerned.
