C'mon lads - there are no national boundaries on e60.net 
Lets all play nicely.
From what I saw both Holland and Portugal players behaved in a decidedly unsportsmanlike fashion.
The worst examples were Figo's headbutt - shocking
And when Sneijder pushed over one of the Portugese players for no good reason.
Both should have been sent of for those offenses and in each case they got a yellow card.
And most of the other players didn't cover themselves in glory either.
I still think this guy is to blame:
I also think the recent cards for timewasting are provoking unsporting behaviour. When a player is injured and there is not an imminent attempt on goal it is sort of traditional for one team to knock the ball out of play then for the other to return posession after the player is treated.
Yet in the Portugal / netherlands game and in England / Ecuador players were carded for timewasting in this situation.

Too bad also that Australia lost to Italy because of a penalty in the 95th minute which wasnt a penalty if u ask me. Referees suck this Worldcup, too bad.

No, it was Australia - Croatia where ref Graham Poll gave Croatian player Simunic 3 yellow card. Pretty dumb i think.

As to the Australia / Italy penalty - these sort of things happen in the World Cup (ask any Englishman about Maradonna's 'hand of god' goal). It sucks - but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We've been waiting 40 years for another win and Australia are just going to have to be patient.
I enjoyed watching the socceroos though
and it was nice to see Harry Kewell at national level.

The closest tie maybe England as we used to be an English colony but the whole thing about the best team in ages still put a question mark in my mind
Yes the game went bad and the referee have to take the blame.
Figo headbutt, Deco taking down another player, Boulahrouz tackling on Ronaldo and Van der Vaart pushing Petit are unsportsmans but those are personal issues as they choose to do those things themselves. But when you see two player on the same team doing something unsportmans like together (the case that I pointed out) is totally unacceptable as they are doing it as a team.
So you can say whatever you want but I think Netherlands should just take this loss instead of whining about it, I am sure the players didn't but...

Portugal's captain is Figo not Fugo, you were saying something about knowing football? How can you not know Figo?
We should all take it easy....otherwise Mark (Lomag) might start handing out yellow cards in this thread.

"i" and "u" are next to each other on the keyboard, so he may have hit the "u" by accident while he was typing.
