Sure we are upset about the loss initially (well within 24 hrs of the game), and sure some fans are still on about the penalty kick (heck I'm still not over about the penalty kick really cos there was no contact) anyway...point is even when we are upset about it we didn't act violently (like bashing the other teams's reporters), we didn't splash 'Italian divers' across the headlines and our state premier watched the games on Norton Street (Italian Street) and cheered with the rest of them. There was italians singing and cheering on the streets but its not like other Aussie supporters shouted at them! And yes. We didn't boycott Italian Restaurants. I went there for lunch the next day! All my friends converted to support Italy. What's the problem? Even if we are feeling we got robbed of the game we still wished the other team good luck and behaved appropriately. If you haven't seen this happening then I'm sorry how the society runs in your country. I'm not saying ALL Aussies are supporting Italy but at least we show respect. |

True sportsmanship, The first day or so you are miffed about your country loosing but after that no body cares, there's always next time. Even though France beat us Poruguese in the semi's, We all went to Capital square in Toulouse, France to watch the final match and cheered the french on. |

I blame the ref, Ronaldo, Rooney and whatever guides us super swede:) Rooney was wrong to do what he did I guess but Ronaldos reaction was definitely the worse act. He definitely dives as a lot of other players do but Ronaldo was getting ridiculous. He has only himself to blame for becoming a the butt of jokes which he is now. But it's over! Sad but true. I miss it:)

its strange that u blame the ref. the ref in that game was chosen for the world cup final so obviously, the rest of the world thought the decision to send off Rooney was ok. anyway, dont blame sven either. its not his fault that Rooney cannot deal with his anger. or that u miss 3 out of 4 penalties.. i think ronaldo is gonna be so harassed when he is back in Man Utd...he has to leave the club or he will be harrassed the same way as becks after world cup98, dont u think? |

So you think that whatever Ronaldo might have done - that everyone, in every match, does - , which was claiming for a foul, especially when they see a teammate lying on the floor, in pain, is "definitely" worse than stamping in an opponent's lower parts (that is to say, than violence)? Ronaldo got ridiculous in this World Cup? That's funny, since he was considered to be the 2nd best young player. He plays awfully? Yeap, and that's why Man Utd. wants so badly to keep him there. And is he the one to blame for the "butt of jokes he is now"? Undoubtedly! He shouldn't drible past the defenders the way he does and shouldn't kick the ball towards the goal that often - then he'd just be an average winger and his opponents (and the press) wouldn't care that much about him (maybe it would be harder for them to find a scapegoat). |

Er...let's see..Portugal have won World Cup how many times? And have qualified for major tournaments how many tmes? And England? Shhh?? I smell something abhorrent coming out of your mouth Camone. And besides...Morinho is Portuguse, yes! But he no win Euro Championship with English club...I do know English, Scottish and Spanish managers have with English clubs, not Portuguese. So do we need a Portuguese manager in Premeirship, even with a big purse, to teach us how to play footbal. Go figure!!! |

Not just nutters, but passionate nutters. Anyway, I've calmed down now. As for disliking Ronaldo, right now, its back to 'I like Ronaldo' until the next Portugal/England clash! Since then, I learned that Rooney got sent off AGAIN in pre-season warm-up match - ManU vs. Ajax.This time for a tame clash of elbow to head when leaping for the ball. Here we go again. |
