I think you'll be hard pressed to reconcile unclesox, beatle, while having a Ronaldo avatar...
By the way, I don't think, unclesox is a real England supporter, he's not even English. I supported England, too, but I wouldn't see myself as a typical England supporter since I'm neither male, ugly nor violent, speak more than half a language and am only sometimes anti-German.

Ok, having your advice in consideration I just changed my avatar! I hope unclesox will tolerate me more from now on.
At least, I'm sure everyone will give Ricardo the credit he deserves for what he did.

Tremendous failures in front of your home supporters such as those is enough to keep anyone from appearing - let alone gloating - on a message board.
Oh, man!!! Ouch!!! That one alone is a perfect good example of what I meant! Sadly, you didn't mention Benfica kicking Manchester United and Liverpool out of Champions League. Strange memory...
You wish to talk about last season's Champions League campaign?
I'm all for that! So remind me then. How did Benfica fair after kicking ManU and Liverpool out of that tournament?

Still, this thread is 98 pages long. Since you've been participating in this thread from the start, how about giving us some reminders of this supposed "English arrogance" you enjoy ridiculing by providing a few quotes before I decide whether I should take you seriously or not?
I wasn't mentioning this thread in particular, I was referring to the blogsphere. Go to technorati.com and do a search on terms like "Rooney", "World Cup", "Portugal", "England", etc... If you do it open minded, I'm sure you'll find a lot of examples to illustrate the English arrogance. And then, maybe not!
If it's not this message board you have a problem with, why show up suddenly and go on about "English arrogance"? That you've finally decided to post here and talk your stuff only after your team has overachieved by reaching the semifinals says a lot more about you than you can ever say about fans of other teams.

Btw, you might want to r?mind your Portug?$? buddy ov?r th?r? that Mourinho may hav? b??n th? manag?r of th? t?am that ha$ won th? ยฃa$t two Pr?mi?r$hip titยฃ?$, but h?'$ NOT th? main r?a$on why th? "Roman ?mpir?" i$ what it i$.
Again, your memory is playing tricks... You forgot to mention that in the two previous years before going to Chelsea, Mourinh won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League with FC Porto, a team with a modest budget when compared to the traditional European giants, English included.
I didn't forget anything. I'm just mearly reminding your friend that if he wants to talk about the accomplishments of Mourinho, he needs to look deeper than what his nationality is. Defeating the likes of RC Lens, Denizlispor, Panathinaikos, Celtic, Lyon, Deportivo and Monaco in a knock-out cup competition is one thing. Outlasting Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in a long, drawn-out season takes more than simply teaching arrogance to your players. It takes the convenience of Roman Abramovich's deep pockets to help achieve that type of success.

One final note: I think it's so sad that SOME England supporters spend most of their energies blaming the ref or their own coach for......
Hold the rest of that thought and...

I remember Ricardo. He was third choice keeper behind Tim Howard and Roy Carroll (HA!) at Manchester United at one time. By using his image as an avatar in recognition of his great accomplishment against England during that penalty kick victory... Well, let's face it. Is ANY spot kick victory over England really something of noteworthy significance?

Hey Wingman! Are you good in math? Germany's World Cup victories: 1954 1974 1990 Now solve this one: 54 x 74 - 1990 = ? 54 multiplied by 74 subtract 1990 equals...

Yeah, well, I guess you could come to the same result with any number of numbers and mathematical functions. I wouldn't rely on that. I have my doubts whether Germany will really beat Italy but since it's the last team I support that's still in the tournament, I hope they do.

20 minutes played: I think we`ve seen a pretty good match so far, there will definitely be goals this evening. Both teams are very offensive
-
I think the first half was very good. Two very good teams! Did you see Totti jumping on Ballack at the end, ridiculous! What did he expect, a free kick?
