It looked like England had won their first game in EuroCup 2004 when all of a sudden out of nowhere…
France scores two goals back to back in the closing minutes!
Final score: France - 2 … England - 1
For someone who’s not an avid football fan it was quite an interesting game. Towards the end it started getting a little dirty and violent, which made the final score even more of an ordeal…
All I know is that I’m happy not to be in Lisbon right now. We all know how those British fans get…
Drunken riots, anyone?

Pah… BRITISH fans? It’s the ENGLISH that have the bad reputation, but the Turks behave far worse!! It’s just that the police over there treat that as ‘normal behaviour’ so they and the press don’t make as big a deal about it. Plus, with all eyes on England fans, others get away with murder (sometimes quite literally).
Isn’t shooting your handgun common practise at Turkish football matches? There are several cases of bullets falling back to earth (”whatever goes up…”) and stiking people (sometimes quite fatally). But would I rather have that or a bunch of English hooligans? Mmmmm… tough call.
Here is a quote from Taymur I heard today: “Portuguese authorities did not allow thirteen known British soccer hooligans into the country because of their police records. How is it possible, then, that the United States let eighteen obvious terrorists into the country [some years back]?”
Completely unrelated side note: Cheers to Ronald Regan.
