That's not an admission.
His statement incensed the English with it's arrogance.
Had he chose not to comment he may have been forgiven.
He didn't and he wasn't even man enough to admit it.

Your right about the analogy though mate.

Incidentally, the bar argument was about sovereignty of the Falklands. An issue raised by them and not me.

Mexico are playing well and this match is awesome.
Don't be surprised if it's settled by a classic piece of Argie chicanery though.

i know he didn't admit it right away..i was talking about a documentary and interview i saw with him where he openly spoke about it and made the analogy....a few years back i think...

He's still a cheat.

That goal was superb, good enough to win any match...this Mexico team don't look like they will give up easy, there's still hope...

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink ?

What kind of a name is that?

Comment from the commentator - 'I hope he doesn`t get booked that`ll add another 5 minutes to the stoppage time'

Portugal just one 1 to nothing.
And they were playing with 8 men.

Now I wanna know what you all thought of the ref. That ref was crazy. He took Deco outta the game when one of the Nedtherland guys pulled him to the ground and that dude didin't even get carded. I am pissed abuot some of the calls that were made. But I'm very very happy Portugal won.

adidasss · 06-25-2006, 04:06 PM

i thought the ref was good...the players were going crazy...not his fault...( although that perticular sendoff i didn't see )
