Daggers Posted 1 July 2006 Posted 1 July 2006 I think so diving cheats who never deserved to win and beat us on pens their now my most hated team anyone else??????? Hate is such a strong word. On balance, they did deserve to beat us because we didn't score. It could have gone either way at penalties but when were we ever good at penalities. Football is more than winning - it is losing. As a Leicester fan you HAVE to be more used to the losing than winning ... and that is what makes us who we are. To lose graciously is the best. To look defeat in the face and smile, and say that tomorrow is another day ... that is what makes taking part enjoyable, that is what makes playing fun. If you can not do that then everything becomes more serious than it should be and life is not that serious. Life and football are a game. Losing is the least important aspect, taking part is the point.

I could have accepted it if they'd beaten us on merit, but the fact was they didn't. I'd rather we didn't qualify than have to resort to the diving, cheating tactics that Portugal showed us again today. Scolari is a disgrace - the international equivalent of Neil Warnock. I'm glad he turned down the England job!
