I thought portugal was pushing it at exagerrating all their injuries/falls etc, load of wimps.

Didn't you see what Henry was up to then to get the free kick that they scored the 2nd from against Spain?
Brazil started off confidently and put France under pressure and then France took control for a time and it went back and forth without any real chances. There was some great passing on display.
2nd half and France took the lead when Zidane whipped in a teasing ball which found Henry and he volleyed it past Dida. The game opened up as Brazil searched for an equalizer. They had their chances but wasted them and France were trying to hit Brazil on the counter attack.
A tight last few minutes resulted and France held on to upset Brazil yet again. It could have gone either way I feel, as they were evenly matched. I suppose it was just Brazil's weakness - defence - that finished them off in the end.
Semi finals are Germany V Italy and Portugal V France. Any team could win it now.
Double joy for Portugal today. They beat England to reach the semi finals of football's World Cup and Portugal won the X-Box World Cup as two players from Portugal beat two players from Mexico in the final 2-1 playing FIFA 2006.
Sven - f**** boring cu**
Ronaldo - cheeky cocky c*** numpty sh***. Hes going to get slaughtered in Man U next season.
First half was a bit dull. Portugal probably created a bit more in that period but possession was pretty even. The 2nd half was affected when Rooney got sent off for losing his head. England then played better, but the goal wasn't going to come. Portugal had a few good chances too but extra time was inevitable.
Again, England looked slightly more threatening with 10 men and the introduction of Lennon in the 2nd half really helped England out as his pace really caused problems. Portugal put the ball in the net but it was offside.
No goals in extra time means penalties. Portugal scored and England missed, then Portugal missed and England scored. 1-1 after 2. Portugal and England missed then Portugal scored. England went on to miss and Cristiano Ronaldo stepped and made it 3-1 to Portugal. Ricardo did a great job saving 3 penalties.
England out and I think that's fair. England played better with 10 men than they had with most of the tournament with 11. I just think England should play more attacking and show more adventure in selection. Lennon, for me, was a star.
Brazil play France for a place against Portugal in the semi finals.
Argentina are going to get punished by FIFA. According to the news item I read, they were yelling stuff in Spanish to them when they were going up to take their penalties and when Podolski scored his penalty, he put his finger to his lips to tell them to shut up. All pretty much kicked off from there.
Argentina coach quit too.
