Its a shame that a team which dives, rolls around on the floor and tries to influence the referee at every opportunity can reach the World Cup Semi-Finals.
Not a fantastic match by any stretch of the imagination, but even with the extra man what could Portugal do? Nothing much! England were the better team with 10 men on the pitch - 110% for effort and determination.
Its just a shame that we had to lose out on penalties again..
France.
I didn't watch it as I was out, but that was quite surprising. I wouldn't bet against them going all the way now.
I'm waving a little Italian flag now, just for diddy.

I personally think it was disgusting behaviour from Ronaldo as he appeared to be trying to get Rooney sent off, there was clearly hostility from the outset between them both and I think that is disgusting seen as Ronaldo is Rooney's team mate in Man U. I would not be surprised to see future spats between the two of them. |
Players should be yellow carded for trying to influence the referee's decision, then it would stop pretty quickly. Ronaldo should have seen at least one yellow today, for the amount of diving and rolling he was doing.
I saw the wink too.. it was blatantly obvious that Ronaldo was trying to get Rooney sent-off.

We beat Spain on penalties in the Euro 1996 Quarter-Final! .. but thats about the only time.

LMAO! Since when is it ok for a player to run up to the referee and try to influence his decision!? I
clearly remember you saying you don't like it when players do that in the Premiership. This is no different.

..so you can't get over something that happened almost 500 years ago and is totally irrelevant in modern society. Doesn't make a lot of sense really.
You're very supportive about kicking racism out of Football, so don't you think its about time to stop it yourself and move on from a situation that started and ended a long long long time before you were born..!? Ever heard of forgive and forget?
..and you seem to love the French/Vikings, but yet they invaded Ireland 800 (Normans!) years ago!
You can't have it both ways!
Oh wait.. I already showed you a red card. :s Dayum.. at least I got my Poll impression in!
