I cant believe how bitter some people are about Portugal winning. The comments I am seeing from people looking for arguments amaze me.

I think people should be allowed to express their disappointment, if results did not go the way they were hoping. Portugal won the penalties because their keeper was excellent. France won because they totally outplayed Brazil. The above facts are evident, but the results are still crap for me. I'm not looking for an argument, I simply wanted to state my personal disappointment with the outcome of today's games, simple as that.

I'm actually supporting Germany now! I don't want France to win (although they did play some beautiful football in the Brazil game). Italy I just don't fancy, apart from Luca Toni. Portugal, not very likeable. So I suppose I should say: Deutschland über alles...

And this is how the English express themselves....
Quote:
| Unrest on the streets of St Helier began shortly after the Portugal win.
Officers sealed off an area containing many Portuguese shops and businesses as more than a-hundred-and-fifty fans clashed with police.
England fans threw bottles and glass at the riot police - deployed for only the second time in the island's history. |

Look mate there are hooligans with all countries/teams fans, its just a minority and the problem is that usually that minority are amplified by the press which automatically makes the whole country seem bad. Anyway FIFA did actually say that the worst fans (in no particular order) come from Turkey, Italy and Poland. So it is annoying when the press do this and make England seem so bad due to some arses that only came to cause trouble. I mean look at the incident in Germany, the press automatically claimed that English fans were causing trouble, but the reality is that hundereds of German fans closed in and surrounded a small group (compared) of England fans and started trying to intimidate taunt them, the police were actually in there to get the English and other supporters/people away. I mean the same could be said about all countries in some way of another, for example Italian fans cause masses of trouble and problems where my nan lives in North-East London...

Plot Outline...
"Unjustly expelled from Harvard when a stash of cocaine is found in his possession, Matt (Elijah Wood) moves to London to live with his sister and her husband Steve (Marc Warren.) He is quickly introduced to Steve's chirpy, cock-sure younger brother Pete (Charlie Hunnam.) Initially, Pete is reluctant to get acquainted with Matt and allow him to tread around the capital city with him because he may be seen by others as an 'outsider', but after a heavy drinking session with him and his mates he quickly changes his opinion of him. On the way back from a football match, Matt is viciously accosted by a gang of Birmingham City thugs, until Pete and his friends step in and save him. It is from here that Matt learns the truth about Pete and his friends- they are football hooligans, operating the GSE (Green Street Elite) 'firm.' Initially afraid of the violence, Matt soon ends up becoming as desensitized to it as his new found friends- but as events roll on, suspicion, shocking revelations and unsettled scores combine to a devastating climax where London's most fierce football rivals- Millwall and West Ham United- are set to go head to head."
Well one its an American made film, two its a drama/fiction movie and three I'm English and have always been, I have been to many many football matches right from a young age and all I can say is stuff like this (on a smaller scale) rarely happens! I've seen many football games all over England and of course I watch the news, and well it just doesn't really happen at all. The most you 'usually' tend to get is nothing more than some taunting inside the stadium which you get at any game anywhere in the world, once outside every one is just walking home or wherever together and most of the time different fans are chatting and discussing the game etc, which I have done many times...

I went to Nou Camp once, Barcalona's stadium, cor that was high and exhasuting, the higher up you sit the cheaper the tickets. And since we were up the very very top, there was no direct way of getting up, we had to run around the stadium (we were late) about four times! Anymore and I would have died...
And to top it off when we got to our seats, YOU COULDN'T SEE THE PLAYERS! lol most other people up there were using binoculas! lmao

i never directly said it was an English film..and yes im sure its only a rare occurrance and only caused by a minorty...
Over recent years, i have only heard things about English fans, yes other nations have these problems, but it would seem not as bad as England. Australia was given a contraversial penalty given against them, you didnt see their 20,00 fans making any trouble, this violence is pointless.
And media do not single out England, at least not in Australian media. But this sort of thing is bad for the sport, especially in the World Cup, and this isnt the first time they have done this in the sports main event.

Yeah but any media or press do have a tendancy to make a meal or make something seem worse than it is don't they, often trying to create a better read/watch etc. And well England aren't up there in FIFA's worst at all!
