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?

Another disappointing tournament for the Dutch. As an England fan, I have a message for Luis Felipe Scolari: You don't want to be our manager. That's cool. I can accept that. BUT PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE AND STOP KNOCKING US OUT OF TOURNAMENTS

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 ) 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.
