that red car was rubbish! ronaldo should get one too :p

anyway even without rooney england still seems to be a better team!

[Doli]

Yes.

I just think it's wierd that can kick a ball so ridiculously far away from the goal.

but have you played football on a professional level?

[DreadBoat89]

Ok buddy I'm a fan of England too, but Rooney just stomped on that guys nuts intentionally. He deserved it.

it looked like the guy that got stepped on closed his legs when rooney's foot was there, which gave no option for rooney to avoid it...

england is clearly the better team... they dont fake injuries as often as portugal

[Bawx]

When England would get the ball, Portugal would start crying on the ground.

[duntkno]

i think its getting pretty clear, this may just be portugals win; tho if it gets to penales it's a lil unclear

[User6060]

Lets go England! This is a good match

[DreadBoat89]

holy crap! crouch had such an awesome chance ><

[Romario Brazil]

[duntkno]

i really think if this goes to penales, england will take itt

[ecotrojan]

come on lions

[ipodman715]

This has got to be the WC with the most extra times/penalty shootouts.

[Romario Brazil]

When I say FIFA sucks people reacts badly (N) was cleary penalty kick for England and this biased referee just ignored.

England is better and deserves to win for plays better and was stolen by referee.

No, I believe that was a fair tackle, ref made the right decision.

Penalties now, hopefully after a good performance with 10 men, England can pull it off and win!

True, even commentators conceded to that.

That being the case, I'm not likin this game one bit!

I know I'm not as experienced as most people here in following the sport but man, how is England better and deserving of a win? If I recall right, Portugal is without some of their top players as well right?

England just sits back on defense, they don't attack on offense. From my knowledge of sports, if you have to sit back and pack your defense and can only attack on odd man rushes, your team is not all spectacular.

[Dejon]

Had to hold my breathe for that.

Come on England..

That Lennon tackle wasn't a pen, it was the only good decision by the ref in the whole game!

Well here we go again....COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

[redFX]

England was doing some pretty good attacks there at the end of the 2nd... very entertaining game. It could go either way. Now its up to the penalty kicks.

Didn't portugal beat england on penalty kicks last wc?

[duntkno]

woootah, portugal might win this!!

[redFX]

Damn... can't believe England just missed their first penalty kick... I'm shocked

[Axel]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[redFX]

Wow... unbelievable... England needed that break big time

[Axel]

Bloody hell that as lucky!

[Jimmy0]

1-1, come on boys!

[redFX]

Wow, who would have thought 1-1 after 3... this is crazy
