England Vs. Portugal
<div class="IPBDescription">Does ANYONE agree with the ref?</div> For those of you who didnt watch the match(shame on you):
The score is 1-1, 89th minute, sol campbell heads the ball right into the back of the net.
2-1? Or so we thought. So the commentators thought, so Sol Campbell thought, So most of the fans thought. Even the linsemen thought so.
But <i>no</i>, the referee seemed to have it in his head that John terry had attacked the keeper. Anyone who was watching the match could clearly see that his hand was on his shoulder, but not pushing him.
I would like to know if <i>anyone</i> agrees with mr Meier's decision
As i, and i'm sure many others, feel cheated by this.

This will probably go that protugal wins it all. Take way the home country team if they host the tournament, it should be a price to pay.
And no, I don't agree with the ref's decision. In fact, it was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in my life. He was miles away from the incident, the linesman who had a much better view allowed the goal, Campbell and Lampard both had eyes soley on the ball, it's extremely hard to jump competitively without raising arms and last but not least the keeper ran into them and not vice-versa.
We were cheated, but life goes on.
I'm not so sure it does. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

A keeper has a certain zone in which he must not me hindered in any way. Be it on purpose or not. If he cannot jump properly in that zone due to enemy players it is against the rules.
It's quite a clear rule actually, you can read it up.

So true!
Also funny when they keep getting kicked,stabbed in the eye or just yelled at by other players xD

Thing was tho he was not being hindered; for starters he was off balance and couldn't have jumped for the ball even if he wanted to. The ref obviously thought Terry was preventing the keeper for jumping which he wasn't.
I think he just showed that he's not up to refing big games by buckling to the home crowd in that situation
Don't believe me go watch a replay of the incident and look closely at how the keeper lands after the ball comes off the bar.
Go Holland btw <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If you actually saw the footage you'd have seen that the keeper never jumped. He fell to the floor as the ball initially hit the bar, got up and fell into the jumping Terry and Campbell. It was perfectly fine.
Edit: And at least England qualifyed, crazy Scots... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It was John Terry not Frank Lampard but you are right, the keeper never jumped not because he was obstucted eggmac (before you reply with sommit like that) but because he was off balance.

He should have picked Adrenaline!
You must have been watching different footage. In what I saw, the two Ing-er-lund players practically pulled the goalkeeper down.
Plus, Mr Beckham's kicking of the ball <i>right</i> over the net in the penalty shoot-out was <i>obviously</i> due to the pitch being a bit muddy. Isn't Britain noted for having something called 'rain'? Especially Manchester (I lived there for three years, I should know), so Beckham should have at least have had a <i>little</i> experience with such conditions.
Anyway...
