OT: Euro04 - Page 9

I will admit to being biased here but I would argue that the photo does not sum up the entire situation. The keeper was out of position after the initial header hit the bar. Terry stood his ground next to Campbell and the keeper vainly tried to get past him, which is what you are seeing here. No stiff arm. If you watch the TV footage, which I am sure you have, you can see that there is no contact worthy of the name between Terry and keeper. Terry is entitled to hold his position in the box once he has got there in a legal manner which he did. In any case, the ref was on the other side of the players and a good ways down the field. He didn't see it at all. He saw a scamble in the box and gave a foul in the heat of the moment. The linesman had a better view and gave the goal. I think it was a shocking decision, but such is football. As I have said already, Portugal were the better side and sometimes luck favours the best.

We did lose to a good team but so did the French.
I would love to have seen us win euro 2004 but I
love it even more when the big teams (with all
their megastars) go out to teams like Greece.

I hope they go on to win it, but Holland must be
a hot favorite now.

Too bad we'll never see Larson playing for Sweden again

Intimidator · #86 June 27th, 2004, 09:19 AM

Agreed, but yesterday during the match I really hoped he would break a leg (or 2)

Inti,

I saw the match, the best team won

Just wished we'd had a better team (still, I'm quite happy with what they accomplished) , but next time

Good luck to your team!
