I know Dirk Kuyt is wanted by English clubs but I don't want to see his face around the premiership. The guy is overreacts to fouls especially in a game which doesn't need any more foul play.

Fun game, though it's sad to see Holland go.
That was so chaotic.
It broke the world record of number of yellow cards shown in any single game, and it also broke the record of the amount of yellow cards in any World Cup. Abolutely awful, for all i know, both of them should be disqualified, if it wasnt for the fact that one of them had to play england (which is now portugal), which their gonna lose now anyway.
Terrible desplay of the referee the guy should be fired!!!!
A well deserved win for Portugal even with 9 players we dominated!
I don't know if England will beat Portugal. A victory like this, with all that effort, really strengthens a team. Maybe Portugal will be in trouble because of Deco's red card, but if they can get a good replacement for him, and if C. Ronaldo plays, England will have to watch out.
>>> Lol, Beckham was England`s SAVIOR by scoring the only goal in the game..
But everyone hates this guy so much that no one even mentioned Beckham goal here.. lololololol
It broke the record twice? ;) Actually it equalled the yellow record, and broke the red one. What a war! Great fun to watch, and even the diving made me laugh after a while. But then what do you expect with a match featuring the likes of Robben and Figo?Quote:

Although maybe the last sentiment is a bit premature. There will be no Deco, who in my opinion is Portugal's best player and no Costinha (So I predict Portugal's midfield will be Tiago, Petit and Maniche, and so that means Scolari only has the option of Hugo Viana coming on in central midfield, and Newcastle fans can tell you how good he is :p) and perhaps Figo will be suspended for that headbutt, and C. Ronaldo could be injured. Even if they are, Simao and Boa Morte are both able deputies.
I hope England play 4-5-1 again. Unlike the last game, England also have a decent plan B: Lennon and Crouch, and one of either Downing and Walcott. Of the three Eriksson v Scolari meetings, this is the one in which England have the greatest chance of winning. Either way, England or Portugal in the semi-finals is exciting, because it hasn't happened in a long time.
Of tomorrow's games, I am definitely looking forward to Italy v Australia. While Italy are definitely the favourites, I can't see Hiddink and the Aussies going down without putting up one heck of a fight.
Are you joking? If the referee gave yellow cards to everyone who deserved it, there would have been more than 20. After a while it just was not possible to keep track because there was stuff going on everywhere. Giving Deco a card was a mistake, but other wise, i thought he didnt do too bad despite not being able to control the situation, which ive never seen a referee do in that sort of crisis.Quote:

Id say a poor display of the players on both teams!
If Hugo Viana is playing Portugal are going down, I can tell you that much.
Looking forward to England V Portugal. Time to put Euro 2004 right. :D
Deco deserved his cards and should of even been sent off before that.Quote:

Pauleta can only score with the field completely open and stil he only as 50% of scoring.
