Well the title of the thread says it all - did they deserve to lose, considering they were 10 players against 11 and 2 of their best players went off?

Please vote and/or discuss.

P.S. Moderators this thread is only for this match, please do not merge it with the football thread, Jazakallah.

This match blew. England should have won. England never plays up to there potential.
 
Plus, they played really good so they didnt deserve to lose!
 
:sl:
potential u say?, i say what potential LOL if they had any would we not have seen it yet?? rather we just see men in shorts sitting on the pitch crying infront of millions, aah they'll soon get over it when they get their pay check eh lol
:w:
 
I dont understand the question, the defination of deserve is to be worthy, like to be worthy to win, but your question is asking if they were worthy to lose? :?

(Deserve)
de·serve (dĭ-zûrv') pronunciation

v., -served, -serv·ing, -serves.

v.intr.

To be worthy or deserving.

If your asking if Portugal deserved to win, then YES they did desereve to win. Why? because they scored more than England in the penalties.
 
I think portugal deserved da win. if players were sent off, then the team has only itself to blame..

I can smell some rioting in the air.. :p .. The english fans must've destryoed the stadium by now.
 
Yes, they deserved to lose the match. Portugal were the better team when it came to the penalties.

I'm saying this as an England supporter by the way.
 
Yeh but England had 10 players on and 2 of the good ones were not playing!!
 
Although i'm feeling sooooooo depressed :unhappy: i have to admit Portyugal desearved to win! ....England did soooo well bt thy always mess up at penalty shoot outs!

True but that's part of football. Portugal had 2 of their first team players absent through suspension. Teams have a 23 man squad to cope with precisely those situations.

At the end of the day, outscoring the opponent is the only thing that matters. We failed to do that, so we didn’t deserve to win.

rooney did not deserve a red card

Chin up, there's always next time.

I'm disappointed too but not near as much as when Liverpool lose.

I didn't think it was intentional at first but how can I be sure? He does have a bad reputation.

The push on Ronaldo was nothing. I'd be amazed if that was the reason why he got sent off.

Oh no, Sister! How can you say that? The man is a thug. A vastly over-paid thug. He is rude to his opponents. He is rude to his team mates. He is rude to his captain and to the referees on occasion. He has an awful private life as well. He clearly stomped on the guy and he deserved everything he got. The problem with Rooney is that he has such great talent he thinks he can get away with anything, be excused anything, just because no one can afford to leave him on the bench. If British Football had any shame, or any concern about Rooney's future, they would ban him for a year or two. He needs to learn, for his own sake and for Football's, that you cannot behave that way. You have to treat people with a minimum of respect.

I am glad Portugal won myself. I have liked every Portuguese person I have ever met. They have real courage and, in my experience, wonderful manners. British people could learn from them. They are also not paid anything like the Rooneys of the world and yet they have showed what it takes is character not just money. The only thing that would please me more would have been if Togo won.
 
In my opinion, the English game is too much involved in a contact sport when football is suppose to be a not contact sport. battling in a game of football works well in th premiurship (excluding Arsenal, who play more european style).

This battling, which got Roonie the Red card does not bode well for England on the whole in International games. The crunch is simply that our penalty attempts were woefully lacking any confidence precision or professionalism. yet again we go out on penalties...................................................

Yes, PORTUGAL deserved the win we did not.
