I think the match will go like the Swiss and Croatian ones, where after an edgy start, we gain the advantage, the Portuguese start attacking gung-ho and we slowly break will a couple of goals to seal the victory.
It's gonna be very close.
Portugal have some very talented players and a surprisingly-good defence (that right-back's really caught my eye), but Luis Figo seems to be letting them down with too much of a responsibility.
As for England, it's a similar situation. Except... With David James in goal, you could, perhaps, say we have a WEAK defence.... ;)
I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo will outshine David Beckham by a mile though. :D
(I'd LOVE to see it happen, whatever, though!)

True. Last year everyone said England's only two world class players were Beckham and Owen, at Euro 2004 Sol Campbell, Gary Neville, Steven Gerard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney have all proved themselves and competed much better than David Beckham or Michael Owen.

I'll go for England 4-1 Portugal.
One of the main reasons why I feel Portugal have been so 'poor' in this tournament is for the same reason with England - Luis Figo.

Too much is expected from these players, that's what I'm trying to say. And that they just don't seem to be doing anything except getting everything wrong.

No one saw France going two up against England in the last 4 minutes of their game, either.

england to sneak it by a goal.
2-1 England with Owen and Rooney scoring. I can't see England losin to a below par Portugal side.
I think it will be a difficult game, maybe England 3 Portugal 2. But one thing is for sure - there will be crowd violence.
