real name?). I guess if I lived in a country whose flag didn't recognize my existence (free history leason - the Union Jack only recognizes the England, Scotland and N. Ireland) I'd be pissed off too. Free
advise, learn from the Scots and Irish, get some individuality - it's good for the soul. If your people had testicles you would understand that what Rooney did was disgusting and he's very fortunate to only get a two
game ban (that was only disguting thing I saw during the World Cup). Stop living in the past and stop being an angry Welsh man, just because Tom Jones is your greatest export doesn't make you a bad people. Keep on
cheering for England, you never know one of these days they may recognize you on the Union Jack. Keep the faith! << 06/07/06 Mervyn Brooks (Wales):
>> A number of teams taking part in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, were guilty of fooling the referees into giving free kicks or penalties when it was obvious that players were DIVING. Germany were guilty of
getting a Swedish player Red Carded for so called fouls but the slow action replay shows that on both occasions the German player was not touched and that he deliberately DIVED. And it was with disgust that Ronaldo (
a very talented player) has also got to result [sic] to DIVING when things are not going Portugal's way. The deliberate dive in the last few minutes of the game against Italy [sic] was worthy of winning an Olympic
Gold Medal for Diving. I get the impression that Portugal must practice diving as part of their training as all team members seem to fall down very easily. Disgusted from WALES. United Kingdom. << Philippe Vasseur (France?) >> as a third class country you are where you belong with your last century football , you are a shame for all football loverss <<
U Win Naing (Myanmar) >> Hi Gay, Congratulations your effort to get red cup by Wyane Rooney in England Vs Portugal WC 2006. Don't you think this is a right decision of the Referee and why don't you
consider that Rooney is your college. Ethically, your effort was totally wrong and you made a big mistake when Rooney received the red cup you closed one side of your eyes to your team. When I saw your action through
TV, I was very embrassed for your action. We, plople of Myanmar, strongly condem your effort and we had determined to stop as your fan. People of Myanmar (BURMA) << 29/04/06
A visitor to footballportugal from the USA has come up an interesting suggestion. Jim Faber wrote: >>
Would it be possible to promote a "shirt exchange" at this year's World Cup? I know the players often exchange shirts after the game and I think that if the fans at the World Cup did the same, it would
really build up the world soccer community. Each fan could bring 4 or 5 local football shirts to exchange with individuals from around the world during the games. Once they got back home, they could wear those shirts
(or frame them) to help promote the world football community.<< |
