I can't believe I'm actually rooting for the Froggies. But its 'Anyone But Brazil' for me.

Did you hear Captain Hyperbole (Brent Musberger) talking about this ENG-POR game just now?

"...a game that will be talked about for the ages..."



Huh?

Just think of it as rooting for Zidane to have one more game. Join in:

Allez Bleues!

I ´m with you. I was rooting for Spain and before that for Trinidad & Tobago when they played France. But it didn´t help. We simply need to stop Brazil before they win the Cup for the 6th time!

Same here. Not that I have problems with the Brasilian team itself, but the way they marketed Brazil before (and during) the world cup ("Play beautiful"), somewhat pissed me off.

As to England: My heartfelt condolences. UKRaddell, you summed it up perfectly with "heroic failure". PKs are a very harsh way to go out. But the English team should have done everything and anything not to let it come that far.
