If Portugal win Euro 2004.......
....will England claim they really won the competition, as England were the ones who who should have progessed instead of Portugal?
...forgive my thoughts, but just speculating on the nonsense we'll hear coming out of John Motson's mouth come Sunday's final

England would have won it, only an act of god would have stopped us; well, I say an act of god, or a perfectly good goal that's dissalowed would do quite the same! 
England are the real champs of Europe, the last 4-2 was no competition.

So if England are the real champs, why is it that they last won a trophy an incredible 38 years ago
Surely "champion" teams win more often????
PS I'll disregard your comments on the referee. He was doing his job. It hardly warrants death threats, mistake or not.

I must have missed this perfectly good goal. Gutted we went out but the ref was right. (Bugger)
I don't want Portugal to win though, I think they've had enough luck as it is.

You mean the way Scotland claimed to be world champions when they beat the current world champions in 1967?

) at half/full time! If you actually listen to what they say (I try and shut it out
) it's just banal crap, spewing forth in an over-excited rant.They should both take a lesson from Martin Tyler on Sky.

I think it's rigged for portugal to win - I quite fancy putting a bet on that greece will beat the czechs tonight on a few dodgy refereeing decisions.

I'll look out for comments on here, and also pretty much guaranteed Motson will mention it

Actually England have only ever been in 1 final and that was against Germany in 66. What about that goal that never was in that final, don't hear much about that these days.
Not in the Sun anyway

UEFA should look at their system of selcting ref's - a swiss ref should not have been in charge for a match where a team had just eliminated his home country. Nor should a ref be in charge where the winning team is likely to play his home country.
