英格蘭隊在歐錦賽1/4決賽中點球不敵葡萄隊無緣四強，在比賽結束後，歐文通過歐文中文站(http://sports.sohu.com/euro2004/owen/)在搜狐網上和球迷進行了交流，回答了搜狐網友的一些提問。以下是歐文回答的部分提問：
1. 您在與葡萄牙的比賽中打進了個人在本屆歐錦賽上的首粒進球，您能對您的這個進球和這場比賽的情況進行一下評價嗎？
我對這場比賽的結果真的是感到非常失望，不過我們打了一個不錯的開局，我很幸運在開場三分鐘內就打進一球，當時我非常巧妙的避開了來球，經過360度的轉身後把球吊射打進球門。能夠進球總是非常爽的感覺，特別是能夠在歐錦賽的四分之一決賽上為自己的國家隊進球，當然在如此重大的比賽裡這麼快就進球也是很少見的。看到當時對方後衛的反應，我就迫不及待的想知道邊裁是不是已舉旗示意我越位在先。
2. 您如何看待英格蘭隊在此次歐錦賽上的表現？
我想英格蘭隊在離開葡萄牙的時候應該可以認識到我們會在2006年的世界盃上有很大的奪冠機會，我們是一支充滿激情的球隊，三條線上的人員配置都很平衡，我想在接下來的兩年時間裡，隊內會有許多球員達到個人職業生涯的顛峰，同時還會有一些新的面孔加入到隊伍中來，形成良性的競爭。
我們把自己的期望值訂的很高是因為我們確確實實有奪冠的可能，不管那些吹毛求疵的人怎麼指手畫腳，我們的確發揮的很好，而且每每都能從困境中成功走出，沒有人敢說現在還留在歐錦賽裡的球隊就一定會比英格蘭隊強，我當然對法國隊、義大利隊和西班牙隊的出局感到惋惜，但同樣英格蘭隊的出局也令人惋惜。但和其他球隊不同的是，關鍵的（點球大戰）時刻總是對英格蘭隊不利，這是我們無法改變的。
3. 歐錦賽過後您有什麼打算？
在重新回到訓練場上之前，我打算和我的家人一起度假，好好的放鬆一下自己，我想安靜下來休息休息，也想打打高爾夫球，和我的女兒在一起。
4. 您最喜歡吃的食物是什麼？
作為一名足球運動員，我必須非常謹慎的安排我的飲食，通常我吃一些雞肉和義大利空心面，我很喜歡吃海鮮，比如蝦。
5. 您認為哪支球隊將成為本屆歐錦賽的冠軍？哪名球員將成為本屆歐錦賽的最佳射手？
我想荷蘭和捷克將是兩支非常難以擊敗的對手，他們都打的是流暢的地面配合似的足球，從已經進行了的場次裡可以看出，這一點他們發揮的淋漓盡致，目前為止進球位於前兩位的球員就出自這兩支球隊中，一個是範尼斯特爾魯伊，還有一個就是我的利物浦隊友巴羅什，他現在狀態極佳。很明顯葡萄牙將會給這兩支球隊帶來最大的威脅，因為他們也是一支非常不錯的隊伍，又有主場球迷的支持，這將對他們起到幫助。希臘是讓每個人都瞠目結舌的球隊，是最大的黑馬，但從我的觀察來看，雖然希臘隊成績不錯，但他們將很難應付捷克人的打法。
6. 您認為英格蘭的球迷會以怎樣的態度來看待和葡萄牙隊的比賽結果？
我想許多英格蘭的球隊都會對比賽的結果失望萬分，我們真的感覺有很大的機會贏得本次歐錦賽的冠軍獎盃，不過我確信球迷現在和球員想的都是一樣的，那就是將主要的精力集中到2006年世界盃的預選賽中去，我們會一起努力贏得獎盃。
7. 在數以萬計的現場球迷面前比賽，您有什麼感覺？
在規模宏大的球場上比賽是一件美妙的事情，比如利物浦的安菲爾德球場、卡迪夫的千年球場、以及各種大型賽事的新建成的那些球場，2002年世界盃時的那些日本球場景象之壯觀令人吃驚。今年在葡萄牙，能夠在那麼多遠道而來的英格蘭球迷面前比賽，感覺是非常棒的，但也讓人不敢相信——這種感覺就好像英格蘭球迷的人數超過了東道主的球迷。
8. 在您主罰點球起腳前的一刻，您的腦海裡想到的是什麼？
我在主罰之前儘量讓自己集中精神並保持冷靜，我認為罰點球是基於充分相信自己的基礎之上，我肯定希望能夠去主罰。在加時賽後通過點球大戰決定比賽的結果是一種緊張刺激的方式，但因為輸掉點球大戰而遭淘汰出局會更悲慘，這是一條決定你究竟是成為英雄還是成為罪人的分界線。
9. 您對您在利物浦的新教練本內茨怎麼看？
我對我的新教練知之甚少，但是我和他以前執教過的球隊打過比賽，給我留下的印象很深，他以前執教的巴塞隆納隊在過去三次將我們擊敗，其中兩次是在冠軍聯賽裡，一次是在友誼賽裡，從交手中我發現他們是整體陣型非常不錯的球隊。擁有一名好的教練非常重要，但這和擁有好的球員的重要性是同等的。
10. 我聽外界有傳聞說您將轉會巴塞隆納，這是真的嗎？
不，這不是真的，就我所知道的而言，我還尚未與利物浦之外的俱樂部進行過談話，接下來的幾周裡我希望我的經紀人會給我一些建議，我們會坐下來好好考慮這一問題的。
11. 同是作為前鋒，您是怎樣和魯尼相處的？
我認為我的搭檔魯尼成長非常迅速，從我的角度上來說沒有嫉妒他的感覺，我想我們會互相彌補互相完善，因為我們之間的風格還是有很大的不同，我們會有更多更好的表現。
以下為歐文回答原文：
1. You kicked your first goal in Euro 2004 in the match against Portugal, would you please comment on it and the game?
I was really disappointed with the result but we had an amazing start to the game and I was fortunate enough to score within 3 minutes. I was careful to avoid accidentally touching the ball - I had to turn 360º around the ball before volleying it into the net. It is always a great feeling scoring goals, especially in the quarterfinal of the Euros for your country but certainly it was unusual to score so early in a game of such importance and the ways the defenders reacted I wanted to make sure I hadn't been flagged offside.
2. What do you think about the team’s performance in Euro 2004?
I think the England team can leave Portugal knowing we have an excellent chance at the World Cup in 2006. We are an exciting team and well balanced, I think in 2 years we will have a number of players coming to the peaks of their careers, as well as lots of new talent coming through pushing for places.
We built up our expectations so high because we thought we had a real chance of winning it and despite what the cynics are saying about us, we did perform well and went out in very unfortunate circumstances. No one can tell me that any of the teams left in the tournament are better than us. I am sure that there is disappointment in France, Italy and Spain just as there is in England. But, unlike the others, the defining moments did not go in our favor and there was little we could do about that.
3. What will you do now after Euro 2004?
I plan to go on holiday with my family and have a nice relaxing break before returning for pre-season training, it will certainly be quiet and I hope to play a bit of golf as well as play with my daughter.
4. What is your most favorite food?
As a footballer I have to be very careful with my diet and I eat a lot of white meat and pasta for carbohydrates. I also really enjoy fresh seafood like prawns?
5. Which team do you think will be the champion of Euro 2004? And which player will score the most goals?
I think Holland and the Czech Republic will be difficult to beat. They both play high quality passing football and have shown great skill in their games so far - they each have top goal scorers in Ruud van Nistelrooy and my Liverpool team mate Milan Baros who is in great form. Obviously Portugal will be a threat to both teams they are a good team and the home support will help the team. Greece have been a surprise to everyone but from what I've seen they are a very good team but I don't know how well they will cope against the powerful Czech team
6. What attitude do you think the England's fans will take towards the result of the match against Portugal?
I think many England fans will be disappointed as we genuinely believed we had an excellent opportunity to win the tournament. However I'm sure the supporters like the players are now concentrating on the 2006 World Cup qualifiers and together we can strive to lift the Cup.
7. What does it feel like too play in front of such large crowds?
It’s fantastic to play in great stadiums such as Anfield, the Millennium Stadium (Cardiff) and the new stadiums built around tournaments. The arenas in Japan in 2002 were amazing and this year in Portugal it was great to play in front of so many traveling England supporters was unbelievable - it felt like they out numbered them on their home turf!
8. What happened in your mind just before you shot in the shoot out?
Ahead of my penalty I was focused and calm. I think penalties are based on confidence - and I definitely wanted to take one. It's a very tense way to settle a game after extra time but it's a horrible to go out of the tournament if you lose on penalties. It is a very fine line between hero and villain.
9. What do you think of your new boss, Rafael Benitz?
I don't know much about the new manager as a person but I have played against his teams and been very impressed. We have been beaten three times by his previous team Valencia in the last few seasons - twice in the Champions League and once in a friendly - and they are a very well-organized outfit. It is important to have a good manager - but just as important to have good players
10. I』ve heard rumors of you heading to Barcelona, is that true?
No, that is not true, as far as I am aware; there have been no talks with anyone apart from Liverpool. Over the next few weeks I expect my advisors will come to me with various contract options and we will sit down and consider them
11. How do you get on with Wayne Rooney since you are both strikers?
I think our partnership is developing really well and there is no jealousy on my part. I think we complement each other well because our styles are so different and there is a lot more to come from us.
