Who deserved this? Where is that Portugal that was a very violent team you were talking about? 10 fouls against Holland and 10 against England... I'd like to see who does better than that...

TSG analysis by Roy HODGSON (ENG)
This was a heroic England performance, especially with ten men following the sending-off of Wayne Rooney in the 62nd minute. Despite this disadvantage Sven-Goran Eriksson's team continued to both defend and attack intelligently, creating more goal chances than their opponents.
Owen Hargreaves was the best player on the pitch the whole of the back four did extremely well. If you pick out one it would be Hargreaves, who encapsulated the England performance. His work rate was incredible with the number of balls he won in midfield and he still found the time to get forward.

It was a pity such a game had to be decided by penalties but once the game goes to penalties, it becomes a question of which team can handle their nerve and once again England were found lacking in a shoot-out. But over the 120 minutes they were the better team and Portugal can consider themselves quite fortunate to have survived this one.

You gotta be kidding me

We created a lot more chances, had a lot more shots, had a lot more possession and we can consider quite fortunate? Why the hell does FIFA choose English men to choose the player of the match in an England game? This is ridiculous...

exactly what i said. 50:50 game with more "control" of argentina. but if you continue writing bullsh*t we can recreate the game minute by minute and after that the "fight" second by second (like shown on TV today with every camera).
totally blind and in love with your team, now go and cry with beckham.

this here is better than every NFT sh*t i've read in the past LOL ... and better than every joke i've ever heard. and it was fun to hear, that the almighty maradona (which i respect the most!!!) was pissed like a little child when he was not allowed to take a friend with him. instead of calling someone who is in a higher position than a security he left like a baby ... bye bye maradona, have a nice flight.

[leomet_2000]

jajaja!!! Maradona?... you know him very good becuase he kick some asses in 1986 specially Germany...

is very sand that a tema like Germany will play semifinals!! Germany only use shots in the area for german heads!!!... and if you need to play football ask to Maradona!!...

you can see now Brazil, sucks!!! sucks playing football!! France is playing better but may be Brazil can win!!!

is o.k... we are out but some people here know how argentina plays.... is a great team, we dont loss any game.

Bah, Argentina and Brazil...neither one deserved to be in the semifinals. I am really dissapointed with Brazil, because they had the best team in the Cup. Honestly, Argentina only played one good game, the others were pretty bad. Both teams played pretty bad in general...Bianchi, Redondo and Batistuta were furious to see how the Argentinan team reacted yesterday saying "it's a shame that we loose the game and we looked like fools at the end".

I don't know man, but you can defend Argentina all you want, but you don't win games just because you are Argentina or Brazil, you win games with goals...Brazil didn't score they are out, Argentina didn't score they are out, England didn't score they are out...I think you and your country are the only ones that believe that Argentina was playing amazing football, the only time they did was against Serbia and that is it.

Now please don't say that you dont loose any game, because let me remind you that your team didn't make it to the 2nd round last cup and that you barely beat Ivory Cost and needed a piece of magic to beat Mexico and that Brazil beat the crap out of Argentina last year at Confederations Cup...

This cup has been good, but the favourites are gone and that is something that not even Pelusa Maradona can't solve. so let's wait 4 more years now.

Congrats to France, I dont like the way they play but I sure as hell love Zidane, he was doing wonders.

So who will win now?!
I want to see Portugal vs Italy in the finals, something different for once
