Portugal England (World Cup quarter final)
Full time score: Portugal 0 England 0
Overtime score: Portugal 0 England 0
Penalty Kick-off
Portugal scored their first penalty. England first penalty was saved. That’s when I started crying. Portugal’s second penalty saved. England’s second penalty scored, and I stopped crying. Portugal’s 3rd penalty saved, England’s third penalty saved. Portugal’s 4th penalty scored. England’s forth penalty saved. Portugal’s 5th penalty scored…. game over. Portugal 3 England 1 Much blubbing. The Portugese goal keeper, Ricardo, was named man of the match. Clearly a good decision since the game was won on goal kicks and he saved 3/4 shots from England players.
The England squad was missing experienced, strong, forward players; Playing most of the game with 10 rather than 11 players.
- Rooney off in the first half (red card). We could do without bad tempered players taking the team one man down.
- Beckham off in the first half (injury),
- Owen so far off he never started the game because he’s back in the UK (injury).
The England players on the pitch did an extremely good job, just not outstanding enough to be worthy of a World Cup semi-final.
