****ing referee robbed latvians of victory, verpakovskis was brought down in the area. i hate big teams

Thats Mike Riley for you. Too scared to give two clear penalties against the Germans, simply because they're the Germans.

Yeah, but trash talk is one thing, and making hideous sliding tackles, elbowing opposition players, telling them to fvck off is another.

Hideous sliding tackles? He made one tackle on the keeper which he had all right to go for. Who did he elbow and who did he tell to **** off?

Your making him out worse than he is.

I thought you English hated the Germans :undecide:

I've no problem with them personally but the ref probably had to bear that in mind. If the ref was from another country and had given a penalty the Germans would have been fine with it. But an english ref giving the Latvians a penalty and there would have been uproar and excuses galore.

It was obvious that the keeper was going to get to it first, and he could have at least tried to pull out of the challenge and not hit the keeper in the face with his boots. He elbowed Thuram, and I could lip-read him telling someone to fok off, but since the camera was only on him I dont know who.

I think that might have been the ref when he got booked..

Mike Riley isn't afraid to give Mna Utd plenty of penalties though.

He shouldnt think about anything except the right decision is his mind. The Germans are probably still gonna complain about him anyway

right, and he should not do that because he is only 18 and he must respect older players.

He dosent fear anyone, he will take on anyone and he will go for anything. Thats what makes him so good.

I'll cry the day i see Rooney back out of tackles etc.

And although it is hard to take Sven seriously, here is what he said recently


"England manager Sven Goran Eriksson feels that England ace Wayne Rooney is better than the young Roberto Baggio. “I think he is the best young player I have worked with and I have had Roberto Baggio, Rui Costa and Paolo Sousa,” said the former Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina and Samp Coach. “Rooney is something special.”"

Someone should make an England thread. This thread is spilling with England posts

A bad performance by the German team...they should have tried to win the game..

Latvia did a good game
