Portugal v England 2004 15:40 - Jun 20 with 1231 views | Romeo4 | Anyone else watching it on bbc1? Was England’s best chance for a major trophy in recent years. We weren’t very good on the night. Rooney going off injured didn’t help, especially when his replacement was Darius Vassell! Why we continued to pick Scholes on the left was a mystery too. Should’ve played in the middle alongside Gerrard. How good was Ashley Cole by the way!!Truly world class. | | | | |

Portugal v England 2004 on 17:17 - Jun 20 with 1079 views | Ftnfwest | I rewatched the Croatia game the other night and the team then was pretty unbelievable when you look back. Alright Rio was injured or suspended or whatever and sol Campbell played but Cole, terry, Neville, gerrard, Lampard, scholes, beckham, Rooney and Owen wasn’t too shabby. Ok James in goal....* *footballing comment | | | |

The first 11 were excellent (with the exception of the goalie) but maybe let down by the rest of the squad. When you look at the quarter final for example Rooney, Scholes and Gerrard were replaced by Vassell, Phil Neville & Hargreaves. | | | |

We played a game v Turkey in qualifying for 2004 at the riverside or stadium of light can’t remember, who at the time we’re exceptional (probably top 5 in the world) which I’ve always thought was one of the best, if unheralded, england performances I’ve seen. We withstood a huge amount of pressure but stuck to our game plan and eventually wore them down and won 2-0. Gerrard penalty for the first I seem to remember. | | | |

He was absolutely phenomenal, not just in 2004 but I can't recall an occasion he ever let England down in 100+ appearances. Absolutely quality footballer both at club and International level. Best left back in the world for a long time IMO. | |

Ha, very committed. I had a bbq for that game with the flat screen outside in a gazebo set up. Great evening right up to the penalties. | |

I was at that game and his battle with Ronaldo was one of the best things I’ve ever seen on a football pitch - was a ridiculously good defensive display, but the one time he got the better of him it mattered | |

The gazebo was from a mate's shop, so it was a really good price! And it was a big posh one, wooden with planters in the corners and a proper canvas tarp. The TV was early flat screen and cost me a small fortune! Early doors Panasonic Viera. On the plus side it's sitting in front of me now, thankfully hanging on in there and still working. | |

I got my first flat screen (Sony) 4 years ago for £299. It was a clearance because "Everyones going Ultra mate so these are cr*p". The best TV I ever had (before this one) was a Panasonic. Them and Sony are quality. | |
