That really, really, REALLY surprised me... Portugal beating Holland?! All the credits should go to Scolari, he surely IS the best. I am amazed.

Great, now all my projections are ruined. OK, so I belive now that Portugal will possibly (and unfortunally) meet Argentina in the finals. I must remind you that all teams that disclassified Holland in World Cup went to the finals, and apart from Brazil in 1998, became champions.

Portugal vs Holland was an amazing game if only to show the stupidness of players wh do things to get themselves - and each other booked and sent off!

16 yellow and 4 red cards - nearly everyone of them deserved, plus Figo only gets a yellow card for headbutting an opponent!!! I wonder if FIFA will somehow upgrade it to a red card or give him a ban for several games?

As it stands Deco and Costinha will miss the England game - maybe Figo and anyone else that'll get caught doing something they shouldn't have done by the tv cameras...

made for great tv and an exciting game



Re England - again Sven shows his lack of balls by changing the team around to suit the 'big name' players at the expense of the team ethic. 1-0 and a shite poor perfromance vs Ecuador - who probably created more chances and playr more fluid football. Still, at the end of the day England are through - just, but will surely have to finally up their game vs a good and technical Portugal team...

holy cow that portugal vs netherlands game was INTENSE. that's some hardcore rough football, i must admit i was in the mood to watch some as rowdy as that. i couldn't believe the number of cards being given out, that ref wasn't taking any sh*t that game at all. and damnnn those portuguese men are fine.

i called this, i knew portugal would be advancing into at least the quarter finals. but with i think england has a huge advantage, esp if ricardo gets carded. too many of the players already received yellow cards. so they better be careful.

But from a neutral's position, have we been rough AT ALL? I can think of maybe one time when Aloisi pushed over a Japanese player that cut in front of him, but nothing else...

The attitude of the competition so far seems to be: "alright you noobs, you wanna play with the big boys, you gotta earn it." And the way we earn it is by taking hits and getting smashed with penalties. The only reason we've been progressing at all is that they've somehow had the grace to let it go and play on.

I was camping all weekend so I didn't see the England game but I heard the result on the radio. Sounds like it was a typical England performance. I hope we can get our act together for portugal.

You're a physical team and against teams so radically different in style like Japan and Brazil I'd expect more judgements against you than for you - that's just the style of play - you get stuck in and that can often be construed as unnecessary roughness. With the likes of Cahill, Viduka and Aloisi on your side (not "big" men, but fighters) you'll always err on the side of what commentator's would describe as "physical". Brett Emerton has been your only player sent off and you have had no penalties awarded against you thus far in the tournament (and no penalties awarded in your favour) - but aside from a few dodgy calls against Brazil and a Japanese goal that shouldn't have stood I don't think you've been that hard done by.

You're Dutch? Well, I gotta tell you, I was really expecting your country to move in to the finals...

The main game is going to be Argentina and Germany, that game will pretty much decide the finals for one side (although Italy could surprise us). For the other, Now that Holland is out, things got really messed up. It'll be either Portugal or Brazil. Can't see anything else.

In honour of the England forward who has scored 6 goals in 10 international appearances - along with several assists, and the fact that England have never lost a game when he is on the pitch...

and then DROPPED by clueless Sven...



On the first day God created Crouch. On the second day God created Mania. On the third day Crouchamania ran wild on God.

Peter Crouch doesn't go to the toilet. The toilet goes to him.

The only question Peter Crouch has ever asked is 'Whatchyagonnado?'

Peter Crouch does not jog. He runs wild.

At the end of a day, Peter Crouch does not take his shirt off – he tears it off. Peter Crouch has never worn the same shirt twice.

The only time Peter Crouch has ever taken a bath is when he took one outside to give it the Legdrop of Doom.

Whoever Peter Crouch is dating on Valentine's Day receives the same poem, 'Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm running wild, Whatchyagonnado?'

Peter Crouch never says 'pardon' or 'can you repeat that again please?'. He simply cups his hand to his ear until he hears whatever it is he has to hear.

Peter Crouch once wrote a two-hour English essay paper using just the words 'dude' and 'brotha'. He scored 93%.

He then used the exact same essay for a French exam. He scored 97%.

Peter Crouch does not make love. He runs wild.

This one time Peter Crouch entered a maze, and went on 'a mazy'. The maze gave up first.

Every girl Peter Crouch has ever been with claims he has a good touch for a big guy…

… and Peter Crouch has given every one of them the big boot… quickly followed by the Legdrop of Doom.

If you do not refer to Peter Crouch's arms as 'pythons', it is quite simply the last thing you will ever do.

When she was pregnant, Peter Crouch's mum did not feel her baby kicking – just the big boot. Mrs Crouch still gets bad wind today.

Peter Crouch did not turn down a starring role in 'Star Wars' because of wage-demands. It was because George Lucas would not allow Darth Vader to give Obi-Wan the Legdrop of Doom.

Peter Crouch does not pass water. He takes it on his chest, holds it up, then passes water.

There are seven Wonders of the World, each of whom one day hopes to meet Peter Crouch.

Upon hearing the news that Peter Crouch was in the studio audience, three Government ministers refused to go on Question Time in case they were asked 'Whatchyagonnado?'

Peter Crouch once bumped into Chuck Norris at an airport. Norris responded with a roundhouse kick. Crouch shrugged, got on his plane, went back to Liverpool, then gave Chuck Norris the big boot. Chuck Norris has not been seen or heard from since.

Peter Crouch once won a game of chess with just three pieces left when his rook started 'hulking up'. Peter Crouch does not know – or care – how to play chess - but he would win every game.

Peter Crouch does not walk into a building unless accompanied by the theme tune to 'The A-Team'.

Peter Crouch did not lose his virginity – he simply threw it away when he had no use for it anymore.

The founders of Spain chose red and yellow as their national colours in the hope that one day Peter Crouch would want to play for their football team.

Peter Crouch bodyslams Hope on a daily basis.

Peter Crouch cannot walk down the street without clotheslining at least five innocents. He subsequently receives at least five apologies for 'python disturbance'.

Traffic delays don't just happen – they happen because Peter Crouch is there, and Crouch can hold up anything.

Peter Crouch does not get erect – he hulks up. Scientists now believe that this, and not America, is the planet's greatest threat to climate change.

Peter Crouch once held an eight-hour argument with his English teacher, who claimed that 'Whatchyagonnado' was a six-word sentence. The argument finished with the school's headteacher under a broken classroom table due to a Legdrop of Doom.

The missing dialogue at the end of 'Lost in Translation' saw Bill Murray's character whispering to Scarlett Johansson's, "Yes it's true babe – I am indeed a Crouchamaniac."


That is all.

I totally agree. And I can't believe the commentator on ESPN was actually saying the Italian done a good job by falling that way and winning the penalty. Ridiculous. It should have gone to extra time. The Aussies were robbed.

EDIT: Just watched the England/Equador highlights. Maybe they should double the width of the goal and raise the crossbar 10 feet so Lampard can score.

I wouldn't trust ESPN on anything related to football at ALL. That was no foul, the player tripped over an Australian player who was already on the ground and not even facing the Italian. That referee will probably be absent of the rest of this World Cup.

For 92 minutes there, you had the rub on the green (and my theory was holding !). However that final decision in the game was perhaps the most shocking refereeing decision this tournament.

His son's name IS Ronald. After the burger-adicted clown.

Ghana is an anacronym of "ganha", which means "wins" in portuguese... I have a bad feeling about this...

Our dreams are dashed like so much pottery. But it had to happen somewhere along the line. But fair play to the Italians, I think they played a good clean game, and I didn't see many if any dodgy dives or fake injuries. The penalties called against us were justified for once, so good work to the ref as well. But I will say this, I do believe that final penalty was an incorrect call. Not necessarily a *bad call* because it is understandable that the events could have been interpreted that way from his angle, and he can't go back on a call. Although, having said that, should a ref make such a momentous call without being 100% certain? It was disappointing, because I do think we were the stronger team and I was hanging out for some shoot-outs at the end, but at least Italy played fairly.

Don't worry, the English commentator agreed with you guys (not Gary Bloom, but the other guy! Sounds the same to me, though ). It was very disappointing to go out like that, I must say. And to think that just 10 seconds later, we could have been taking penalty shoot-outs...
