I thought, from the second half, England were unlucky not to get ET at least. Probably the better side. I missed the 1st half so I could be wrong. Still, it means FA I guess. But better to go out having out played the other side than in the usual limp half assed way, or losing a shoot out.
Got say I'm cheering for anyone but the Argies after their dispicable performance against the Dutch. The amount of diving and play acting was ridiculous. Then the celebrations in the faces of the Dutch were utterly classless. Much as I would like to Messi win it, I would rather see Argentina get robbed blind and have 7 players sent off. A truly horrible team.
Ohh and that was also one of the worst refereeing performances I have seen since Anders Fisk robbed Chelsea all those years ago. Argie falls over = free kick. Argie rolls about screaming = booking for the nearest Dutch boy. Argie boots the ball into the Dutch bench = 'ahhh sure we're all men, play on.' Messi comes out with the most blatant handball you will ever see = 'boys, it's Lionel Messi, I can't book him.'
England's ref was poor, they didn't get the rub of the green on some pretty big calls, but the ref in the Argentina Holland game should have been nowhere near a WC.
