Guys guys guys guys...
I really think you should all calm down and relax.
It's been some time since England performed so good in any major tournament! You should all be proud with your team.
Please remember. You should not judge a match by a single moment...
If you want to do it, with the referees decision, remember these...
- Rooney's unlucky exit.
- Owen's shot saved by Ricardo
- (and the most important one for me) Terry's not jumping for a cross for just once in the whole game.
I can assure you. England can only get better. I've been watching football in the last 22 years, following England since '86, and it is the first time i can say that, england "is" getting better.
Urs Meier...I mean come on, name me a single referee who can give that goal, at that minute of the game, in a major championship, against the hosts. Let me tell you; only Pierluigi Collina. He's the one who can (even) "decide" against the hosts in any game...
And to be honest, i really think you're over-reacting. Please take a break and remember Euro 96. Spain playing against England...I think it was either the second half of the extra time or the 90th minute...I am not sure which player it was, but the assistent referee stopped the game for absolutely no reason. There were 3 spanish players on the break, no offside or foul whatsoever, and only Seaman to beat.
These things happen in football, and this time it was agaist us.
Yes, us is what i say because despite being Turkish and going out against England, I always follow England. I am proud of the way they performed.
So should you be...
Greetings to all from Ankara...
Hope to be back soon.
