if it was the other way round, i'd feel very very lucky indeed to have gotten away with that, especially given some of the other poor decisions the ref made
that was an optical illusion, on all the other angles you could see that's not true.... well, yes they climbed upon each other, bu they both obstructed the keep, in act there also was a plain fault along the way....Quiff Boy wrote:when you saw the reverse angle it was obvious that the 2 england players were actually climbing all over each other - they barely touched the portugal keepermoonchild wrote:The players jumped into Ricardo and he couldn't even see the ball that's why your goal was not.
I saw three angles of that incident, it was a goal. The keeper was not prevented from jumping for the ball, hence not a foul. The only contact that was mad was made when all the players were on the way down which was natural as you cant jump like that without your arms up.randdebiel² wrote:that was an optical illusion, on all the other angles you could see that's not true.... well, yes they climbed upon each other, bu they both obstructed the keep, in act there also was a plain fault along the way....Quiff Boy wrote:when you saw the reverse angle it was obvious that the 2 england players were actually climbing all over each other - they barely touched the portugal keepermoonchild wrote:The players jumped into Ricardo and he couldn't even see the ball that's why your goal was not.

Sorry about the bet.markfiend wrote:Any team that so obviously relied on an 18-year-old kid as England did (just look at the change after Rooney went off) don't deserve to win.
OK I'm a bit pissed off that I'm not going to win my bet now (unless someone cripples about 7 players including Ruud Van Nistleroy and Henrik Larsson), but you can't have everything.

Tell you what, we'll all pretend you've won so you can still buy all the beers on sunday. Fair enough?
no, in my mind there was just a definite fault by terry, I was referring to soem commentators saying it was ALSO off-side....I didn't see that...Padstar wrote:Let me get this right incase im mistaken, your reffering to the dissalowed goal as being offside, or another decision in the game?
