My most favorite team, Italy, was already out, and the second favorite of mine, Holland, great possibly will be eliminated tonight.
So the third and the last one, England, has certainly carried the burden of making me happy. :wink:
I don't like Roony but I have to say, he's brilliant.
Also, the handsome Beckham, should have to shoot a wonderful freegoal in future matches. He's the biggest reason that I'd like to watch England's match.

Why don't you like Rooney? He's become a real hero here. ;-)

1, he's ugly
2, he's sometimes making dangerous and foolish fouls
But now, what I wanna say is "Vassell is a super crap, stupid and useless idiot." It's a huge mistake to pick him up in England team and even to make him become major substitute. He's nothing more than a clown. He hadn't done anything good for England since Rooney was injured and finally terminated the hope of England's going on. What a loser!!!!!!!

Tdol, sorry to see that,but I have to say I've never seen England ever won penalties since Euro96. What do you think of that? Is it due to some personalities? China soccer team seldom win penalties too.

Btw, even though Ericsson is a good coach, he doesn't deserve 5 million pounds per year.

GGump,you're welcome. Raul? too thin, too tragical, and he did worse and worse on soccer pitch. Maybe he needs some kind of new challenge.

With a coach like Trapattoni I don't think we had many chances to get to the quarters... :) and I won't mention euro 2000!! :?

Losing on penalties is an old English tradition. ;-)

:wink: You should change your coach too. He's not good. And Zidane is really elder now. Couldn't count on him too much. Henry, why dose he always behave bad on such great tournaments?

Xixi, it really is. I feel awful about the elimination of England, but I do really feel very very angry about the way England fans and media treated Beckham. It's so mean, so horrible. Why don't you forget how great moment Beckham once brought for you? You should really back him up at this moment. It's not his fault to make England lose that great match. The only reason is England doon't have a great midfielder who can control balls and handle the rhythm of match, and you lack of a striker center too. :cry: Beckham is very very great and strong enough to choose to kick the first penalty after the same lost with France's match.

The coach is a goner already. His contract expires today I think. Good riddance. Zidane is getting old but he still can hold his own for a year or two. Henry would certainly benefit from a better organization on the field ie. more and better passes, crosses etc. Now he's more or less alone, cut off the midfield, playing the odd ball stupidly lost by the opponent's defence ;-)

Wow, Franc, this Euro2004 is really amazing. Now things turn back to the beginning. Very interesting.
Let's see who's the final winner and if Potugal could get back at Greece.
Nice talking to all of you.
