ok where to start, the red card was a bit harsh i thought... but god rooneys an idiot. definitely needs anger management courses
thought scolari made a tactical blunder by subbing pauleta off for simao. ronaldo was causing so much havok on the flanks and was clearly the main threat for portugal, but that threat vanished when he went up front, and until postiga came on there were barely any good chances.
maniche went for glory a bit too often and his long shots deteriorated as the game went on. they clearly missed deco, they often looked abit lacking in direction when attacking; simao prolly should have started
i dunno why hargreaves cops so much crap from english fans, he was their best player today. lennon was electric when he came on, though really shouldl have done better with some of his chances.
lampard and gerrard together dont work. lampards finishing was woeful, gerrard was playing too deep. Rooney is ineffective as a lone striker, he needs support up front, half of the time he was tracking back in defense leaving no 1 up the field for england when they win back the ball. crouch was pretty effective when he came on, but LMAO at him not winning the header against a bloke 1 head shorter than him 1m out from an open goal.
scolari now has a hattrick of wins over sven, dont think any1 will miss him over at england (rofl at the sven maclaren pic). Now the portugal brazil(assuming they win) semi would be an awsome match.
edit: forca portugal! way too many english fans at the pub i was at lol
