i know we dived a bit, but at the end of the day it was his diving that started it, and it was his fault we lost the match. he clearly dived about 5 seconds after there was contact. oh and wtf was the bbc on. i cant believe how biased they were. get over it, england r out.

Oh for goodness sake. Did you watch any of the Portugal games?
You lot spend more time diving than an olympic swimming team.
Watch the T.V footage (it was a German broadcast not BBC, it just had a John Motson commentary for the UK). It clearly shows the defender swing both boots up at Henry in a scissor kick as he went down and the second one connected. He was lucky not to get carded.
And compare Henrys reaction once he went down where he tried to get back up again, to whenever a Portugal player dived through the air he would lie on the ground clutching his face like he had been shot by a sniper!!
And Scolari calls them Warriors!!
I never thought I would end up defending the arch enemy France but Portugal have been disgraceful all tournament.

Everybody dives, or at least they try...
Anyway, since Henry dived at the beginning of the match, not the end, and the game went on, people will still be under the impression that France is a better team than Italy ;-)

What a tradgedy, how unsporting!
Those Portuguese masters of sportsmanship and fair play cheated by those damn French gentlemen.
What is the world coming to? I believe Portugal should demand a replay starting with the quarter final match!

Portugal are out! What goes around comes around. Portugal are a cheating team - and the penalty was bolt on, bet your house on it definate! Carvalho tried with one foot and when Henry went the other way caught him with the other. Yes he made it look worse - but as said Portugal do the same - so tough. Accept it and get over it!!!!

Good for you, now you know what it's like to be robbed for a change. Not nice, is it? Pity you had no Argentine referee to come to Portugese's cries of rescue.

Life can be so unfair. Cheated out of your destiny!
At least Portugal would never do that to anyone!
