well, in Real's place, I'd let Morientes play more than as a substitute...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Me-thinks that if the French play to their best tonight, England could be in for a good seeing to. I will bet 100 Malazan pounds (*not real money) on a French win.
VIVE LA FRANCE!
VIVE LA FRANCE!
Victory is mine!

@Mal: Dammit, I mean't wasn't, not was...
Oh yes baby, come on the Dutch. All the big teams are getting knocked out, this tournaments is really opening up- odds on for Portugal to win at home now, surely?

The worst of it was Riley putting the whistle up to his mouth to blow for a penalty and then changing his mind.
Worst ...referee...ever.
And now Alonso is out for at least six weeks.

well, iirc, Spain can remember that match with Korea as a bad experience... nobody likes cheating referees
as an anegdote, in volleyball, our team got eliminated in Argentina in the World Championships BY Argentine a year or two ago, thanks to a great deal of help from the referees. thankfully, after our intervention, those referees are now unemployed...

Yeah, now that we have Cristiano Ronaldo, that statement is not that ridiculous. The next Figo, and he plays in a red Mancunian shirt...
Anyway, more injury problems for us against Bolton- O'Shea is injured, as Gary Neville and Louis Saha with Ferdinand days away now, and with Brown out too, not to mention Rooney and Van the Man. What have we done to deserve this???

Thanks for the help guys. BTW, funny how Morningstar and Brynjar answered at the same time and said basically the same thing.
I think I get English Premier and Champions but I'm not sure if I get Spanish Primera - I'll have to check it out.
Know any good websites to read up on the English Premiership?

Well, bowl me over with a feathter, he won again. Still, it was a good race, well done Kimi and well done McLaren on their resurgance . Luckily Trulli is ok, that was quite a big shunt. It is a worrying thing for the suspension to fail suddenly, luckily he didnt go head on into the tyres which would have been a more sudden decelaration. I cant help thinking though if the Jag and Toyota werent in fornt of Kimi, maybe he would have got a tow on Michael after the SC went off?

@Mulch: Yeah should be an easy win for the Toon. Reckon Bellamy'll play? I've got my doubts. Looks like he and Dyer are off come january. Not bothered by Dyer leaving but when bellamy's up for it he can be an absolute nightmare for the opposition. And if any of you Liverpool fans think that you shouldn't sell Biscan, Diao or Traore then you're all obviously on drugs.

Okay, so perhaps Gothos went a little overboard in his rant, but it was a shocking decision. In such cases, if there is any doubt that he handled then the keeper should get the benefit of the doubt, but, what makes it worse is the extent he went to to actually avoid touching the ball the his hands. Ruined the game. The time has long since come for instant video reply refereeing in thse big tournaments.
Victory is mine!

I was laughing out loud today at the germans. LOL! 0-0 with Latvia
but Czech Rep. - Holland was the best game on the championships so far. brilliant! 4' 1:0 Holland. 19' 2:0 Holland... and they lost 2:3! YAY! GO CZECHS!!! and that shot from 30 meters by Nedved... friggin' awesome! 5 centimeters lower and it'd be the best goal of the championships. bity, only the bar.
I think we can safely say that it's Sweden or Czech Rep. to win Euro 2004 (counted without the referee interference)
