England and Portugal going to penalty kicks
Portugal up by one after first set of kicks
Portugal hits the post, England scores: 1-1 after two kicks.
Both miss third kicks - still 1-1
Portugal takes 2-1 lead after 4. Portugese goalie on fire.
Portugal wins on PKs.....

Speaking of bad sports, Wayne Rooney is a thug...stomping on someones groin is absolutely wrong.

He's a little twit that basically lost the game for his team and his country. All the hype leading up to his return and he ends up being the reason they exit. His being kicked out took England off their game. They had to defend the whole time, and that clutz Crouch couldn't keep the ball. Portugal didn't look great (with exception to the keeper) and England probably could have taken it in regulation with 11.

Way to cost your country a shot at the title, Mr. Rooney

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
What a jackass. Completely and utterly inexcusable. He should be lynched when he gets back in country.

Really disagree about Crouch. I thought he played rather well and helped create a few chances in the attack.
As bad as his action was, one can at least somewhat argue that it was just the heat of the moment which took the best of him. In my opinion he "just " (ok, not really) overreacted in a split-second decision after trying to break free from the portugal player on the ground.
Thats really bad self-control, but at least not on the level displayed of DeRossi or the Argentines Cufre and Maxi Rodriguez.

Yeah, I guess I was a little hard on Crouch. I don't think he plays well as the only forward. Of course, there was little England could do after Rooney's blunder.

Man. For the all-time goal leader in World Cup history, Renaldo sure does suck. He seemed out of his element in this game more than any other this year.

Ronaldo is obviously overweight, and that hurt them a lot. But give some credit to France--they played a near flawless game. They knew they had to stick to Ronaldo and Ronaldinho like glue, and they did just that.
Plus, it helps to have Superman on your team. Zidane is amazing. One of the best performances I've seen this year in the World Cup. Strange, because I thought Henry had played horribly the last 2 games. But he scored from Zidane, so that means more than his 20 offside calls.

Thats what I get for picking against France again. I'll admit though I was cheering for France about halfway through the first half, they just seemed to want it more from the start of the match. Also it'll be nice to see Zidane play another couple of games(semi's & third place game )

As did I. Dissapointment of the tourney: Frank Lampard, easily. Finished 2nd in FIFA POY twice and he puts up that display. Awful.
