What an absurd argument, a 13 year old is perfectly able to be a football player which he was. As I have stated now about 20 times no fair minded player would handle the ball. We are not discussing Harry Kewell ( I didn't see it anyway) but based on your comments my reaction would be exactly the same.

I believe you:D

Shearer and Hansen said the same, I beg to differ and that also is a shameful thing to say. I don't pay my licence fee to listen to overpaid pundits condoning cheating and that is absolutely what it was. When I've seen a 13/14 year old schoolboy standing on the line in the same situation and NOT handle the ball and in reply to why he didn't respond " Because it would have been cheating " then my mind boggles at what seems to have become acceptable not only in football but in most walks of life. Learn from your elders ? Clearly not.

Quite possibly, certainly not been missed but his quality is undeniable.

You and me both.

To be fair the way Portugal played Ronaldo had very little support. Shame yet another Man Utd player, Nani, was injured.

Germany v Holland final ? Though Muller will miss the semi final.

All this and no Ballack, amazing.

Probably no difference at all, Rooney never deserved to be sent off having been fouled numerous times before apparently committing a foul which even in slow motion is far from clear. What is clear is that Portugal were the main protagonists and then harangued the ref to send Rooney off. Shameful. I'll reserve judgement on the apparent Messi foul until I have actually seen it.

No arguing with that.

4-0, unreal. At least Klose is in my fantasy league team.

What game are you watching ??

Good man Ponty:D

Spain v Germany would certainly be a tasty game. I expect Spain to win but just about every team I have wanted/expected to win since the knockout stage began have lost I hope Torres can find his form/fitness.

IMO Argentina were on top for most of the 2nd half but like England have been chasing the game. Germans very good on the break.

Ok, only Spain left to support now. Don't want Paraguay, Uruguay, Holland or Germany to win. Still at least England managed 2 goals v Germany even if one of course was ridicously not given.

All over, 3-0.

Oh flip, 2-0.

He was on here only half an hour ago but the wretched man didn't grace this thread with his presence

Bastian Schweinsteiger Lionel Messi Diego Forlan

You read my mind

Can't believe it's only 1-0 at HT. More goals to come I'm sure.

I can't even really remember the way it was, just that I never had any problems !

We have but on the old user friendly forum TBH:D I only posted to try to help Jillyanne but ended up confusing myself as well

Could easily have been 2-0 but Messi looks in the mood. Argentina gradually getting into the game, unusually slow start by them.
