ngg. england are going to give me a heart attack before tonights game is over. portugal look so dangerous and england so scared. luckily the portugese haven't worked out how to shoot yet.

owen is back to form though.

How about once (in 2002)?


Guess who got the better record in Europe?

Exactly.

Figo must have lost his shooting boots. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

I'll have to say... in my book that's a valid goal... HOWEVER, I prefer the premiership rules... in the rest of Europe that would have been whistled as a free kick to Portugal (as it was here). Goalkeeper is sacred.

Hahaha.... I love how England hit it right in the middle for 3 straight shots, then when Ricardo finally stood still, Hargreaves goes right

Figo's not even on the bench it seems.. guess he and Scolari aren't best pals ;-)

Thank you Comcast. Ricardo makes the save and then the PPV goes black.

wow! Thanks ALf. My sympathies Andy, but I venture that the average English fan had given up once it went to PK's, given the history...

For some reason I really dislike Ricardo... and I hardly knew his name before this game... :P

Btw, I am glad they introduced Silver Goal rather than the Golden Goal rule they've had the last few years.

The thing about Beckham is that he takes penalties the same way he takes free kicks, with his standing foot bent at an almost impossible angle. Unfortunately, penalties need a slightly less arced ball path than free kicks.

Andy, watch the rest- hell, Im Indian- if I limited myself to watching the national team, I would be a very depressed person (not that I have any desire to see that particular brand of "football").. Portugual looks to be getting better..
