Ricardo was superb; the English keeper looked like a lost sheep out there.

Rooney's Red, Owen and Beckham injured didn't help them much. I hope Portugal and Italy are knocked out in the next round.

>>Worst display of penalty kicks I've ever seen.

The match itself was not much better.

Let's see. Don't care at all about Italy. Or Portugal. Germany I just wanted to face England...

I guess Brazil is my choice, by default...

One of the most incompetent displays of penalty-taking I've seen in years.
Same as ever; England play crap and squeeze through and it ends in heroic failure (oxymoron alert).

I don't care.

Bring on the Tour de France.

Bring on the Superbowl.

Bring on the Women's US Open in Golf.
