Wow, this was a first. I was actually cheering for Portugal. Dirty game from both sides, but I think the Dutch were worse. It basically all started when Figo "headbutted" Van Bommel lightly, and than Van Bommell took 2 seconds, realized he's a f*cking douchebag, and went down. After that, Figo was only bringing himself down to the level of the the Dutch. Boulahrouz did elbow him, and Figo probably embelished it, but an elbow is still a yellow. Deco's sending off would usually be a very stupid call, but FIFA has clearly told the refs to make these calls, so really Deco had only himself to blame although these players used to played in quality refs in Europe arent used to this.
Costinha is a total moron. I think Scolari wouldve probably subbed him off at half time. He wont be missed against England, Petit is a better player anyways. Maniche's goal was class, finally a nice goal at this tourney that wasnt scored from 40 metres away, and was effected by the lightness of these balls.
Anyways, Im glad Portugal advanced instead of Holland, and if England continues playing as pathetic as they have been, I think Portugal has a good chance at making final 4. I love how all the Dutch think England will destroy Portuguese,,, have you guys not seen any of their games???
