Well there you go…

England 2, Portugal 2. Portugal win 6-5 on penalties.

*deep breath*

Much will be said of both Beckham and Vassell and their inability to score from the spot, but the fact is penalties were not required. Extra time was not required (new fangled silver goals or not). Despite a shaky performance, England had this game wrapped up in the 90 allotted minutes.

But then we didn’t count on the referee. The Swiss referee, who’s arm only seemed to swing one way. The referee who’s whistle-happy performance put England out of Euro 2004.

Hurrumph.

    What can I say? I was distraught when I wrote that – you’re lucky it makes any sense at all…

    Oh, as for email… anything @ this domain name will find me. Except ‘info@fretnoise.com’ and ‘sales@fretnoise.com’, as the nice spammers have made those two more-or-less redundant.

  2. Well, normally, yes. Except for some reason I don’t seem to be receiving *any* mail just at the moment. Gmail appears to be showing off its beta-ness…
    :o )
