Sad, yet annoying...

England are out of Euro 2004. They lost to Portugal after a penalty shoot-out. Full-time ended 1-1. Extra time ended 2-2. And we lost the shoot-out 6-5. There are lots of things to say about it - plenty of reasons for the defeat - but it would make this post far too long and I doubt any of you care that much anyway (if, indeed, anyone reads this anymore). So, I will bullet point my views for those that might have seen the game:

• Great goal by Owen
• Heskey should have come on instead of Vassell after Rooney injury
• Referee was dreadful - and biased against England
• Midfield looked exhausted
• Campbell and Cole were magnificent
• Campbell's disallowed goal should have stood
• Beckham was unlucky to take first penalty with such a dodgy penalty spot

This will be the last post before we go to Spain. Depending on Internet access I may be able to post a message while we are there and maybe even post a photo or two. So, until next time...
