Turkey keeper sent off. Stoppage time. No subs left. Crazy game.

You talk sense. hes a ygabum.
I reckon he'd smash Keane's head in though. There's a huge Facebook group dedicated to those who agree with that notion.
Youre daft, he reeled Keane in and managed to duck it.
If Keane hadve connected hed have killed him. Big hairy fact

But, Keane didn't connect - because he's slow and stupid. Ask any Newcastle fan about Shearer's 'enforcement' of club standards at the training ground. Nails. Woolly mammothy FACT.

This is a FACT, having just read Keane's book, he said that Shearer called him a "" twice, and he fell for it!

If he 'fell for it', then Shearer's obviously right.

Abidal sent off and Pirlo scores from the spot

Re: Euro 2008
i think a better team than France would have beaten Italy last night or a least push them them harder. France were rubbish in front of goal some good build up work at times.
an Italy - Spain quarter final should be a real cracker on Sunday.

Re: Euro 2008
Dozy ITV commentators still haven't worked out that Ballack fouled the Portuguese defender....

I'm glad that the ponces from Portugal are out. The ITV commentary was disgustingly biased toward them - every pass was 'brilliant' and every mistake the fault of a German.
Not winking now Ronaldo, are you?

I'm afraid I quite like Germany. I'd certainly choose to live there over Portugal!

Re: Euro 2008
Having watched the majority of the Portugal v Germany game, I must say that I was impressed with the sheer level of footballing skills shown by both sides. Lots of good passing movements, ball control, first touches etc.
So why, oh why, do so many of these top players resort to blatant cheating? And isn't it high time that the "third referee" (the guy with access to action replay TV, slow-motion, whatever) was given the power to adjudge what was really happening on the field and make refereeing decisions accordingly? We already have it in cricket, when run-outs are decided in the pavilion.
Out of many examples from tonight's game - certainly Ballack's goal, where he was only able to head the ball as well as he did because he had pushed the Portuguese defender out of the way first. Ronaldo, having been forced to the ground in a tackle, reacted as though he had been kicked to death, when the German player clearly leapt over him and no contact was made. This behaviour is a deliberate attempt to bring unwarranted punishment to a fellow-professional.
Or have we to accept that it's now part of the modern game, and I'm just living so far in the past as to be a dinosaur?
