I'm guessing that there'll be limited feedback as most people on here probably didn't watch the match.<br><br>England scored a perfectly legitimate goal in the 90th (last) minute of the match. It was 1-1 and if the goal had been allowed we would've won. However the Swiss referee was all over the place - he should lose his job. Its sad that at this international level of football (soccer) there should be such an unprofessional referee.<br><br>It wasn't just that - to complain about that would be immature. But you should've seen him; he got in the way of the ball three times, making both sides have to actively avoid him. He carded people who didn't touch diving opponents, yet when a player was grabbed around the neck and pushed to the floor - nothing. If that had happened in the street it could have gone to court as ABH, or at least assault.<br><br>Well, yes, I'm feeling suitably irked.

lol life sucks sometimes...tbh im surprised there weren't riots in Portugal. Before, the threat was that we would be disqualified, but if we were knocked out anyway...<br><br>Not that I wish there were riots - anarchy and mindless destruction/violence isn't something to be condoned.

Awesome! There are people here that follow soccer!<br><br>I watched the final. It was a decent match, little disappointed that there weren't more goals.
