Euro 2004

You gotta take the rough with the smooth/the ridgid with the non-ridgid.
After an awesome goal from Owen inside the first five minutes there wasn't much in the way of a game right up untill the end when somehow Helder Postiga created a goal from nowhere. Then it was extra time, and in the 110th minute Rui Costa made it 2-1. It would have been all over then but for Frank Lampard scoring 5 minutes later. Penalties next then, say what you will about the "Dodgy penalty spot" but David Beckham and Darius Vassell both failed to score from the spot. It was then all down to Portugal's keeper Ricardo to win it and did enthatically. 6-5 on penalties it ended. A long way away from my predicted score line of 3-2. What will be talked about long after this game is of course the decision by Ref Urs 'I'm an idiot' Meier and Sol Campbell's rulled out potential winner of a goal. As dissapointing as the end result was, it gets easier to take everytime it happens. Next stop, home.
