----- Forwarded message from "Colaco-Dias, Paulo R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 23:53:08 +0100 From: "Colaco-Dias, Paulo R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gabe, you are obviously another victim of the amazing hype created by the media of this country (UK). Having watched and listened to the BBC commentators all these days, it is amazing how they managed to create such hype at the expense of the British people. The British people have been made to believe England would win this tournament for sure. Not even once they accepted they could lose to Portugal. Not even once. What a shock yesterday's game was. And now you talk about Ronaldo's dives... and others talk about the sandy pitch that caused Beckam to fail the penalty and again others about the disallowed goal. Come on, it is about time to go out a bit and check the facts. I have Portuguese, French and Italian channels on my satelite reception. Check what the others are saying too. It is about time the British people wake up and create an opinion of their own instead of constantly being influenced by the most powerful media of this country. The media in this country have tremendous convincing powers. The European-phobia (Anti EU) created by the media is another obvious example. If the British referendum chooses not to accept the European Common Constitution, it is because of the strong anti-european media influence (a couple of bad tabloid papers that are read by large part of the population). The common British people have no idea what they are voting about! Best regards, Paulo. ----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Gabe Menezes Sent: Fri 25/06/2004 12:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: [Goanet]VIVA PORTUGAL. RESPONSE: Having written that, you have glaringly avoided castigating Ronaldo for taking a dive time and time again. Readers kindly watch him in the next game! Cheers, Gabe. ----- End forwarded message -----
