So should all the English & Irish bars be removed from Portugal and Spain?
This is the sort of Jingonistic attitude that breeds the sort of English football hooligan that do their country so proud

I think the fact that the two best players for England last night were Campbell and Cole says it all about the game. The midfield were an embarrasment.

I can;t understand why Portugal did not play Ronaldo on the left, he would have raped Beckham and Neville all night long. As it was Cole did magnificently against him. Although saying that Portugal were not short of people going forward on either side.

And another thing.... Offering the "Portugal have had 24more hrs to recover for the game" excuse is just pathetic. These "men" (and i use the term loosely) are payed a fortune to be in peak physical condition at all times. If they are not fit enough why are they there??

The best team won on the night, but it must be a great comfort to have the excuse "we were robbed" to hide behind rather than "we played shite and did not deserve to win" untill the next tournament...

Yes it is a beautifull game. However like many things it is spoilt by SOME of those that latch on to it as an excuse for violence. Even motorcycling has suffered from this problem at times

suits me, when i go away i like to get into the culture of the country i'm in, not walk into a pub exactly the same as where i just came from.

just playing devils advocate really, sorry.

cant condone any violence or hooliganism towards anyone.

Now now Henners, you know this has nothing to do with the "Beautiful game" and more to do with the yobbish culture that is developing in this country due to virtually zero fear of any real punishment.

You're right Jim - if it wasn't football the hologans would gravitate to some other tribal meeting post. Sad that England has come to this.

Just a thought, I wonder how much it's going to cost to clear up all the St George flags I see littering the roads up and down the country?
