No, Rob. Sharing = Communism. I'd think you of all people would find that repulsive.

Besides, I still need Portugal to beat Germany so I can win the money.

I would like to point out at this moment that England has gotten over the defeat... (well I know I definately have)
A few of us were just merely pointing out that some of the Portuguese were diving last night...

Vantheman, where are you from?

I'm in India at the moment since 4-5 years. Am born an American.
I've been supporting England since 10 years now. and it was the first an will be the last team I have ever supported.
I havent switched teams either.Have never supported USA or India as my 2nd team.

it so happens that some pricks cannot stand the large number of English supporters I've added myself too, I hope u get it.

I don't know why some people get so worked up over what a bunch of guys (who're basically always the same) think about our team and our players.

We beat England. Again. That stings. Who cares what they think? Let them moan.
[There's a couple classy english posters here, you know who you are and I tip my hat at you.]

They bitch about Ronaldo for the exact same reason FC Porto fans booed him when ManU played at the Dragão - he's the best player on the pitch and everybody knows he can carry any team on his shoulders. He's also young and has a temper, so the crowd is just trying to mess with his head.
If he was an average footballer like 90% of the players in this WC nobody would even care.

He showed last wednesday he's getting more mature and totally used those boos to motivate himself even more. I'm proud of him and confident he'll be the best player of his generation. (Y)

What narks me is the Portuguese fans can sit back and condone that kind of cheating! You are a good team with some great players, why do they stoop to that level?

Again, why are people brining England into it? This has nothing to do with England at all. You beat us on penalties, Ricardo was the difference, we are over it!

If you want respect you have to earn it but having seen some of the Portuguese antics in this World Cup you're not doing yourselves any favours.

Who's condoning anything, some of you guys aren't satisfied with just criticizing the players that now you've gotta take it one step further and vilify the fans too. It's becoming an unfair witchhunt around here...I've been posting here since 1999 actually, and only in the past month have I ever been called a pussy, an animal, scum... :|

Ofcourse we know there are a couple players on the team that are prone to going down easy (like on every other f*cking team out there), but not all of them like many of you like to generalize. Nobody likes it, I hate seeing C. Ronaldo play-act but what exactly should I do about it? It also has to be said that many of the accusations have been greatly exaderated too, Portuguese players can be legitimately fouled you know? I don't want to bring England into it either, but this outrage over diving only seems to surface when we play England or English teams, we can play just about any other country on Earth and the subject doesn't even come up.

Anyways, I don't know why I still bother to post here..

What level? Wtf are you talking about? A couple of dives in the midfield and we get this proportions of anti-Portugal bashing? Lemme me remember you that the worst dive in Portugal vs England match was made by Lennon IN THE PENALTY AREA not in the midfield. Yes some players dove, like Beckham did, like Gerrard did, why don´t you mention them too? They are such good players, why do they stoop to that level? And please why do people bring England into this? Don´t be naive, look at the campaign English media and some hooligans have made against Portugal in the Wc. Yesterday we had a clip on the Portuguese news about how the english media influenciated some of the Fifa ruling bodies. And they really influenciated, not the Ronaldo/referee crap talk. What amazes me the most is that you guys claim moral high ground (which is hilarious to me) yet take a couple of days to condone Rooney´s dispicable behaviour. Only when the article was printed in The Times we could see some mature reactions. Your first reaction was the blame Ronaldo and neglect what Rooney did. But that´s typical of you lot. Condone every kind of cheating eh? I´ve seen it everytime we play England and frankly like Infesta said why should we give a f*ck? For posterity there it is, another win for Portugal.

I'm done reading this english fans shlt.... really.
BBC and Shearer and all those other english commentaries after the game... and the ihateronald site, and everything.... MUAHAHAHAHHAHAAH
They NEVER EVER talk about how mediocre England plays football... they just talk about Ronaldo coming to pressure the referee (like if it were a portuguese player stepping the balls of an english one, no english player would complain... what stupid asses, hypocrites)... they just talk about Ronaldos dives, yet Cole did the same, Lennon did the same inside the area. If it were Ronaldo diving like Lennon inside the area you would spend a year complaining what a bunch of cheaters and a disgrace to fottball we are (well, you already do).
All in all, you english are ridiculous.
I know it hurts never going anywhere... being constantly sent home at the quarters and earlier is really f@cked up.... but really, take 10 minutes of the 10000000000000 hours you mumble about Ronaldo and dives and discuss the shltty NT you have.
See, France still beat us, like they always do... its hard to swallow for us portuguese... penalty from Zidane, as it were in semi final 2000... without playing ****.... but we take it like mans.
So its time to get over it, you just need to worry in euro 08 when we'll wipe your ass again as always (if you came across us, that is).... and till then, just watch Ronaldo bring some magic to the Premiereship fields (along with some dives, of course). But at least he is with a few others, one of the players that makes the World love football.... something the english lacks...


PS- and portuguese people, stop being so damn nice to these guys... almost every portuguese posting in here were polite right after the game and are still being polite after all these ridiculous mumbling from the english. Get some self estime guys, if Englang had won us, nobody could shut them up... before the game nobody could shut them up, just read some posts in here before the portugal-england game. They behave like Hooligans in here, only in a different way, so stop kissing their asses.

I'm going to break the English mould and support Portugal against Germany, but please stop slating the English people, it is mainly the media that has persued the Ronaldo hating thing, it is propanganda-like stuff.

The bottom line is, Ronaldo is a diver. We are merly pointing out that fact - yes the public overreacted (creating a website is a stupid idea), but football is a passionate game and you don't really give a damn what you say (or post) at the time once you've just been knocked out of the World Cup.

The situation between Portugal and England NT fans is not improving, my mate - a Portuguese guy called Joao (who hails from a place called Marinha GRande to show that I am not bull****ting :D) told me after Portugal were knocked out against France:

"I don't mind that we were knocked out of the semi's, we beat England and that is the best feeling in the world."

By the looks of it on this forum that opinion is shared with all of you Portuguese, and probably with the rest of the world if they beat us.

Anyway, I am going to support Portugal tomorrow, good luck.

AND LETS HOPE FOR AN ENTERTAINING GAME WITH NO DIVING!

Sorry do disapoint you, but thats false...
You see, there you go again.... thinking that you're the best, thinking the "World" gets mad happy of beating England... thats just sad, pathethic.

We always beat England, i don'g get very excited about that, i was very upset after loosing to France, in a way that i wouldnt be if we lost to England.
France as beaten us is the semis of euro 84, semis of euro 00 and in alot of other games... and loosing to them once again pisses me off.

To England on the other end,i really dont care. Of course i want to win, as i want to win anybody that plays against us in the quarters.

But really, you sumed it up in this one sentence:
"By the looks of it on this forum that opinion is shared with all of you Portuguese, and probably with the rest of the world if they beat us."

This is why i find the english ridiculous.
You suck at it (football), but you always think you're better than anyone else and that everyone gets a kick out of winning England?
Why is that man? You're a poor NT since 1966, you're not Brazil or Argentina or France, so tell me, why do you think the best feeling in the world is beating a English NT?
For sure is not because ONE portuguese fan told you he feels that way, is it?
lol

Ok, I came accross as slightly boastful there, I meant to say that he loves Portugal beating us, because of the English being cocky beforehand and then the reaction once they did beat us.

But to be honest though, individually, we had/have some of the best players in the world. You look at the defence, midfield and even the attack. The first 11 is just ridiculously good. But unfortunately Sven didn't make the team gel and therefore we played sh*t as a team. I can understand the arrogance though. This is the best group of players we've had for years.

just put it simple, the English can't take a defeat, their EGO is just too big for that...:rolleyes:

you english fans try to read this, and understand why diving may actually be good for football
 
I think this discussion has gone on long enough. A lot of these other threads should have been closed long ago too. It's a shame that a lot of you guys can't talk without making it a flame war. I regret getting dragged into it as I'm guilty too.
