What the hell happened to England team? So disappointing :mad:
Once again the England team have gone and done the worst thing they possibly could have done - made me do basic arithmetic and probabilities!

same thing that happens pretty much every world cup they get all excited, write lots of articles about how they're gunna win this time, put out a bunch of world cup songs - analyse the heck of of everything and then lose. oh well Bryce

England also talked about their golden generation a little while back, with players like Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Owen etc. It wasn't so golden after all and now, with no superstars, they play much a little bit better, but still loses in the end. BTW: Congrats to Australia that scored the best goal so far :thumbsup:

I think Norway holds the record of just considering one goal and still managed to only play in the group phase; 1994 USA.

Both games we played quite well, but didn't defend well enough and allowed the opposition to get away from us in/around the box (1st one against Italy and yesterday). Cavani should never have been allowed that crossing time. Pirlo's stepover was nice but not good enough that the other guy should have had a free shot. Our defensive cover for the flick-on for the 2nd yesterday was just bad. And to be fair it's probably the hardest group at the tournament as well. Our opponents have played well against us and just got the little break in both games (I don't think either would have complained about a draw on the pattern of the games).

Switzerland lost 3-0 on penalties, that was the first time in history that a team lost on penalties without scoring a single goal in the penalties.
Well, they did concede 3 goals, just not in the actual match or extra time.

Penalties in a shootout don't count as goals (for example they don't get credited to the taker or included in Golden Boot etc). So I'd say Switzerland didn't concede a goal in that tournament.
I resign... :sigh:
