Well we all knew it was going to penalties didn't we

Outraged at the behaviour of Ronaldo throughout, especially the "wink" - Rooney deserved a yellow for putting his arm up, nothing more.

Ricardo's "antics" before Carragher's penalty were equally shoddy gamesmanship.

A semi-good performance second half and extra time, kudos to Hargreaves (maybe bar the passing) and Lennon (see how the role can be played Beckham ?)

Lampard had the worse tournament, probably of all time !

But we never derserved to go through on today's showing, so no black arm band for me.

I imagine it was just a case of "enjoying" the win a little too much. I imagine a few gloating words were said, but on the merit of the penalties alone - not to mention the complacency of the Argentines in taking of Riquelme, Germany totally deserved that win.

What I love is that even though the match had techincally finished - Argentina's unused substitute Leandro Cufre was shown a red card for kicking Germany's Per Mertesacker in the melee.

You've gotta love that

Good to see the project still has legs

2001 wise, as long as it's not the original (1999 ?) DVD release with the Arthur C Clarke interview as an extra, you should be fine.

Shining - tricky one., "integrated" is certainly an option - maybe try 30 mins or somesuch and see how it looks, always happy to comment, constructive or otherwise !

Hi Paul,

Indeed I have - currently seeding Goldfinger with Rikter on myspleen.

They are a treasure trove of candid comments about the films specifically and the series in general. If you're a Bond fan of any era you really wouldn't want to miss them.

Should you want further info - turn on your PM's

Hey Paul,

It's a 9 page read, but it you start at the top you'll find all the info you require in this thread.

Good to have another Londoner onboard !

Should you need any further help - just let us know.

Cheers,

Second one for me - but if you include the first, I'd take off the Extended banner up top - or maybe change the font. Just brings the class of the image down in my book

Great job though !

Well - I'm glad Zidane managed to finish it off properly. Quite offended by a player of Henry's quality to show such theatrics for the second goal - been quite a feature of these finals though I suppose !

Could well go that way - great second half in prospect for Spain v France - currently 1-1, slightly contentious penalty, great take from Ribery for the equaliser. Just what the came needed.

Excited neutral

The guy on ESPN says it was a foul no question, but of course he's Italian so I can't take his word for it.

Don't worry, the English commentator agreed with you guys (not Gary Bloom, but the other guy! Sounds the same to me, though

). It was very disappointing to go out like that, I must say. And to think that just 10 seconds later, we could have been taking penalty shoot-outs...

(10 seconds later you would have had another 30 minutes of extra time to play first before penalties !)

For 92 minutes there, you had the rub on the green (and my theory was holding !). However that final decision in the game was perhaps the most shocking refereeing decision this tournament.

South Korea (v Switzerland) and USA (v Italy) have suffered far harsher decisions that ultimately cost the teams progression through to the next stages.

But from a neutral's position, have we been rough AT ALL? I can think of maybe one time when Aloisi pushed over a Japanese player that cut in front of him, but nothing else...

The attitude of the competition so far seems to be: "alright you noobs, you wanna play with the big boys, you gotta earn it." And the way we earn it is by taking hits and getting smashed with penalties. The only reason we've been progressing at all is that they've somehow had the grace to let it go and play on.

You're a physical team and against teams so radically different in style like Japan and Brazil I'd expect more judgements against you than for you - that's just the style of play - you get stuck in and that can often be construed as unnecessary roughness. With the likes of Cahill, Viduka and Aloisi on your side (not "big" men, but fighters) you'll always err on the side of what commentator's would describe as "physical". Brett Emerton has been your only player sent off and you have had no penalties awarded against you thus far in the tournament (and no penalties awarded in your favour) - but aside from a few dodgy calls against Brazil and a Japanese goal that shouldn't have stood I don't think you've been that hard done by.

At least if history is to be taught via movies - they should use better material than that !

Didn't last long boon

Great game - not full of action, given, but one for the purist.

Such a shame that Mexico had to go out - they're much better than the majority of the other teams that have made the last 16...

I'd be well up for seeing an improvement in this "epic", unlike my friend boon23 - I was truly non-plussed in the original, though one thing that won't be corrected which is no fault of your own zombie84 is "WHERE ARE THE GODS !!!". Ah well. Poseidon just proved that Wolfgang has officially lost the plot and should be banned from big budget extravaganzas - send him back to TV so we get another Das Boot

Shame the US have gone out - you'll always have the draw with Italy to be proud of !

Glad there is an African nation in the last 16 and whatever the fall-out from this game, the beating of the Czech Republic was a magnificent effort.
