**** man. This is bull****. I hope spain rots in hell.

 

[Ubik Valis]

Viva EspaÑa!!!!!! Ole!!!!!! Whooooooooooooooooo!!!

Yeah, viva to you who couldn't even defeat a country full of landmines.

Don't act like spain didn't deserve the win

Spain didn't play at its best, but Bosnia only got in front of Casillas once, and that's when they scored...

Spain deserved the win, and got the draw...

 

[Coon]

Another great job by the ****in refs. Romania got Carlos*ed out of EURO 2004 with this extra time bull****. No way, anyone should get 7 minutes of injury time. Now Bosnia is out for sure when they could have gotten 2nd place with a good ending run. Thank you for taking all the hope away in this cheap manner. I'm pissed!

F*cking Sh*T!!! Why is it always Bosnia that gets the short end of the stick?? Why dear God??? F*ck Spain, F*ck the N.Ireland Ref and all it's people!!! F*ck the English linesmen!! stupid politics ruin this beautiful game. 9 yellows, 2 reds, and 7 minutes of added time. God F*cking Damn It!!!!

Spain deserves a 10-inch Cock-Slap across the face along with the refs that they paid.

Haha, have it your way then, tough guy.

2 red cards in last two minutes and if it didn't help...
...7minutes of "extra time"..lol

I thought things like that happen only in Polish league, I was wrong it seems
tip for refs: if match goes wrong (according to which team had to win) you can always finish the match and then write in protocol that match was stopped (not finished) due to "I didn't feel safe on the pitch" reason, which leads to automatic 0-3 for the team which you'll point as dangerous (real example, happened few weeks ago in here)

we've made it!

 

[Klobb]

Hah, Soccernet.com had on the headlines to the right that Faroe Islands beat Ireland 2-0....

 

[Bonzi]

why do some teams have names on the back and some teams don't?

 

[Mayor]

I noticed it too, it's a great promotion for players though... after goal everybody can see who scored, or who passed, who saved or who made a trick
for now they can only say "number ten was good", "I like that player with 5 on wing, what's his name?"

especially during WCQ matches when all europe (so club managers too) can see them...

I suppose it's because of old fashioned old ppl in national federations who are managers but can't thing logically and have their jobs because of their (old) connections
at least this is how it looks in PZPN..:/

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

It depends the team actually, some do always and some do only in tournaments but don't do that in friendlies or eliminatories. For example Argentina uses names in things like the Copa América, Olympic Games, World Cup, more likely in the Confederations cup, but no in World Cup qualifiers and friendly matches, many teams follow that self-imposed rule and others don't mind and use the names always such as France.
The reason however i don't know probably it's cheaper to do it like that, in Argentina for example many players changed numbers during the WCQ matches, and also there has never been an argentinian player wearing a number above 23.

i completely agree with you. of course, i know all players of team Russia, their numbers and names, but sometimes it's difficult to remeber names of players of other teams.
