in the past I have wondered what the hell you were doing pulling on a shirt for England. I've watched as you've been brought on as a sub and you skipped about, ran around and didn't achieve much.

But you've proved me, and no doubt many others, very wrong. Having finally been put in the position you play at club level you excelled. You covered at right back behind a woeful Beckham and were dependable. Today you have surpassed anyone's expectations.

Today you have worn the 3 lions and have been the epitomy of the lion at the heart of the England team. Plaudits will be bestowed on the 10 men who fought so bravely, the back 4 that have performed so well but you have outshone them all.

The tireless running through extra time can only be admired. The tackle after tackle defending in front of the back 4 and the covering for them magnificent. Then to cap it all you've gotten forward and created chances.

A stunning performance throughout 2 hours of football. Owen Hargreaves I salute you.

Commie.
Well said Commie - I totally agree.

I agree with commie Hargreaves played very well today and proved all his critics wrong

If only he could use his incredible engine to be looking constantly to get on the ball when his teammates have it, as well as breaking up the play when the opposition do, then he'd be a great player.

Commie.
One of the best performances of anyone in an England shirt for quite some time. Would love him playing for Bolton.

Scored the only Penalty as well, Ricardo got to it but it was better placed and had suffiicient pace to beat him. You could see his commitment to the cause in the way that he celebrated that goal. He may be a Canadian playing in Germany but his heart is obviously in England.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

Hargreaves was of course outstanding, but this doesn't alter the fact that he shouldn't have been in the starting XI, at least, not in that position in the first place. Since when has Rooney played as a lone Striker? Surely Crouch should have started in a 4-4-2 to hold the ball up/knock it down/play it in for Rooney to come onto. Of course, everyone could see this except for one man. Go on, Ericsson. Feck off and good riddance.

Hargreaves played like Gattuso, the way in which he broke from midfield and drove at the Portuguese defence. He has to look for the ball more to start off attacks, ie like Campo but that was his only slight flaw yesterday but if he could do that he'll be as good as or better than Genaro.

Could have told you that before Commie watching him play week in week out.

Previous seasons I reckon when fit he is the 3rd name on the Bayern teamsheet after Ballack and Kahn.
Well now I guess he will be 2nd pick.

What you all don't realise is that Owen plays in the German Bundthingy League. The rest of the England Squad playing in the Prem or La Liga. Point is: If Rooney has a stinker of a game for England then Scores 3 past given for the Scum to win Newcastle then you would say Rooney had an off game for England.

Now Hargreves has a stinker for England then goes and has a great game for Munich then. The BRITISH public dont see the Munich game so Hargreves is Crap!

The Prem Live games on Sky every week in papers too.
La Liga Live games on Sky every week.
bundesliga Highlights late at night.

Hope you all got that point!

Hargreaves is a fantastic player and i glad to see he proved some idiots wrong on Saturday.

Miles better player than Gattuso by the way.

Good man.

We had a massive argument about him a few months ago, and he's done everything I said. He is actually probably the best player of the tournament from an England aspect.

Drop one of the two underperformers and start Hargreaves deep? You bet.
