Match #31 :: The Final :: Sunday 29 June [R]

[JeremyEritrea]

Ballack bleeding quite a bit after that collision.

[GoodDead]

How so?

Are you kidding? You never noticed all the calls that go there way? case in point this game 2 hands on a German on a corner and there is a whistle despite the ball not being in direct play with the conflict. Meanwhile a Push on a Portuguese gets no call and Ballack gets a goal. If you notice after he scores he looks back expecting the goal to be called back before realizing the ref let it go.

[Lahmfan]

Lahm looks like a fckin amateur in this tourny.
U kidding.. right?

[VCFan]

Go on then Noel, I'll deal.

Maybe I'm just being slow, but I don't really understand the reference... care to explain? :confused:

Also, Sergio Ramos is having a good game defensively after that initial blunder.

[superfrantheman]

ballack is back in

[roykeanes_safc]

Well my 40 quid on the Germans is down the swanny it looks like

[Tony Dellbird]

Lahm looks like a fckin amateur in this tourny.

Who would have ever thought a German defender would ever be out muscled by a Spanish striker?

[ToBeAGooner]

U kidding.. right?

Not at all, he was terrible against Turkey, and he got brushed aside like he wasnt even there on the goal today. Brutal watching him.

[superfrantheman]

U kidding.. right?

seriously phillip attacks better... remember the second goal of turkey? how sabri could make that assistance to senturk? :rolleyes:

[ToBeAGooner]

Ballack is out of control.

[superfrantheman]

Ballack is out of control.

i wouldnt be surprised to see a red card in the next minutes.........

[superfrantheman]

whats wrong with podolski? why is it so hard to dribble ramos?

[miked9]

Andy Gray has been openly rooting for Spain this whole tournament. It's like he's the Scottish Tommy Heinsohn.

[code1390]

Ballack is going to get sent off today.

[Inklink]

I knew it from the start. Having this Italian referee for the final is stupid.

I could not watch the game and still know that it's time to book Ballack. And then he gives Casillas a yellow too along with Ballack, geez

Never seen the British version of Deal or No Deal with Noel Edmonds?

[VCFan]

Lahm isn't exactly a prototypical German defender, and Torres isn't your usual Spanish midget ;)

I'm really sick of his bias.

[GoodDead]

Iniesta should of shot it right away a rebound would of been the worst outcome. Too much over thinking by Spain at times

We could do go on about this for hours the amount of soft calls Spanish and Portuguese players get in any tournament you like. Not to even mention Ricardo vs England. Give me a break kind sir.
