The look on Ian Wright's face is a pleasure to see

England were never good enough and got what they deserved - Motson, Linekar and Wright etc can crow no more - get it right up them.

SUPERB ,WELL DONE CRISTIAN.

I've always liked the diving little cheat. Getting the Scouse psycho sent off and belting home the winning pen. What a guy!

Cracking stuff.


Will shearer get anymore tv work tho - at the end he seemed to condone the possibility of Rooney lamping Ronaldo at the Man U training ground.

Think even Hansen was shocked that he said that.

Thing is England do have some cracking players, fortunately their manager is mince.

Personally at the start of the world cup wasnt fussy either way about England, but the wall to wall coverage in the lead up to this match turned me against neutrality

And I think that's the point Stewart. I've nothing much against the England players and their efforts on the pitch per se (Rooney and Beckham excepted), but it's the way the media delude themselves and then dupe the great English public into thinking they can actually win every competition that really grates. Oh, and Wrighty, Motty, Lawro...... You're right about Shrearer though - says a lot about his character.

The one and only time in my lifetime that I will cheer Liverpool players missing a penalty and a M*n Utd player scoring one!

Just back at lunch time from a brilliant two weeks cruising the Med (Sicily, Tunisia, Majorca, Barcelona, Marseilles, Genoa, Naples) followed by a few days in Sorrento (fantastic - went to Pompeii (SUPERB), around the Amalfi Coast, Capri etc. etc.).
THEN - back home - DEPRESSION . .. ...etc., THEN .. . . watched the England v Portugal game . . . . THEN watched Andy Murray knock Ruddick out of Wimbledon.
Ach . .. life's not so bad after all.
Oh, BTW, anything new at East Fife when I've been away????

Jim, hope you took some pictures of you in the black and gold for the site!

Andy Murray's win was tremendous today. He played fantastic from start to finish. Icing on the cake of a great sporting day.

I watched the England game in UK Gold (as I've done with most of the BBC coverage this world cup) but just had to turn back to see what the studio on the main BBC coverage looked like. Priceless.

Shearer's comments were unbelievable. But then, he was never the cleanest of players himself.

Rooney clearly stamped on his nuts. May or may not have been deliberate but he shouldn't be leaving his foot in there and making any stamp at all. Scummer.

Then after the game, Hansen said that England were more gentlemanly than Portugal!

Ronaldo, Ricardo, & Rooney Portugal's 3 R's. Now Brazil are out it's Portugal all the way especially as I am flying out there on the 9th of July, just in time foe the final!!

Shearer was always a thug. English and Maggie - what a combination.

It was unbelievable listening to the panel clutching at straws and trying to make Cristiano Ronaldo the scapegoat. They'll not rest till they've run him out of the country now.

Mind you, that's their best one yet - if Ronaldo hadn't winked, England would have won the World Cup.

Tossers.

Vive le Portugal!

I hope Ronaldo gets a transfer cos his life's gonne be hell if he returns to Old Trafford

Can't see Portugal getting to the final. They were pretty average to be honest and are the weakest of the four teams left. Mind you now that England's out we can enjoy the rest of the tournament and who cares who wins (well ok anyone but Italy, that would be bad for football).

Did anyone see what Ronaldo did ti Rooney even before a ball was kicked?If the ref had spotted it ,it would have been a straight red.Rooney just laughed but i think Ronaldo was serius about it.I wonder what the tv panel would have said if Ronaldo had stamped on Terry?A bet Nevelle would have been the first player on the scene complaining to the ref!!!!!

Ricardo is the hero!

Again he was immense at penalties and was good to see Frank "due a goal" miss again.

Mon The Portugal!!!

Igor that is immense, missed the game and the penalties cause I was out on my new BOAT so was good to see the penalties and dispell the viscious rumours spread about by my English workmates that Ricardo cheated and moved on each penalty, maybe he moved a little prem but check out old flat foot Robinson (easily the worst keeper in the world, worse than the Pinner Prince even)

Robinson was clearly in the box for some of them too (when he wasn't in goals)
