don't bring michael jordan in this discussion. He never choked in any big events. As far as beckham is concerned, I have always wondered what is the people's obsession with this guy was about. Off the top of my head I can name you 10 players who are 1000 times better than beckham.

sorry - but the way Beck has been praised over there in England - that's exactly how Micheal was praised.
who better could have replaced him than the legend Alan Shearer?
beckham is a prick...plus an a$$
Scoring early is a curse and going in a defensive shell is another curse...
fair_&_balance - you call it ! :k:
Thank You.THank You…
Match was fixed by me. 
I must say that Everyone who took penalty after Beckham took extra time to adjust to Penalty spot as it was softer than expected and after suffering Beckham warned his teammates after that. Yes it was a terrible penelty but it wasnt all his fault.

Good prediction lekin tumhara kuch karna parey ga. :p
England needs a goal keeper.
for England that is… 
Number one rule in goal keeping while defending penalties that you must not be back on your heals rather on your toes mostly. Whoever saw the penalties can vouch that James was standing with his heals on the ground in ALL penalties giving him little time to react.
Not just for England. Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Germany ALL have suffered.

Yeh Linekar just mentioned that the penalty spot was dodgy and a complaint had been made to UEAFA prior to the game. No excuse though as the Portugese took it from the same spot :s
How many more times are we going to go through this? Why is it always us?
Too gutted to say owt else.
I must say that strike was Rui Costa was AMAZING. I thought he is finished as a player but man that was some goal.
England should have committed one or two men forward in second half. Their attacking flair could have got them home and confirmed their lead. Lampard once again showed he is a player who shuld be played forward instead he was played in England half. Beckham had his best game of the tournament only to miss the penalty in the end.
I think Portugal deservedly won because they kept attacking. But England showed remarkable guts by levelling in extra time. Second half of extra time was just of highest quality and too tense for my liking.
Nescio and Shinoo are banned from this thread.

ole, ole, oleeeeeeeeeeeeee 
I recall Fraudia calling the Dutch chokers once…now who are the chokers now??

WTF, Terry had no idea where the goal keeper was, his eyes were on the ball not the goalie 
The linesman (who was a whole lot closer) said it was ok, so who was he to disallow it.
i forgot: :p to Sadi Sobi and ehsan too
hahahahaha.........yesterday Holland qualify and now England out. Man, this Euro 2004 is turning out to be very good. Only qualititively good teams are remaining
Ehsan, ur an asministraor now, please do something about them. Please.
