Bravo, Portugal!
I only saw the last twenty minutes. Wow! Was it ever intense!! That is the way World Cup games are supposed to be. But, come on! The cards... Chris, I know that you think the refereeing is great, but I have my doubts. Of course, as I said, I only saw the last twenty minutes. I just think that the cards had to have been flying. Nonetheless, I have never been a real enthusiast for the Netherlands (even though they wear Protestant organge). On the other hand, I have always enjoyed watching Figo play either for his national team or his pro team in Spain. This Cup is getting more and more interesting, I think.
I really would like to see England ousted.

LOL. I see that Chris, in fact, does not think the ref has been great! I just read the comment below.
I was referring to Chris' earlier counter to my own complaint some time ago about the refs.
Sorry, Chris.
I was sharpening my pencil to prepare my rebuttal!! LOL It's one thing to call the game tight like the rules say. The Russian ref missed so much and let so much go at the beginning of the game, that it just escalated. Figo is going to be suspended for that head-butt in the first half. He was out of control, and I'm typically a Figo fan. There's going to be more fallout in the next few days. It's very possible that 4 Portugese players will miss the next game. Plus Christiano Ronaldo will probably be hurt and not able to play. I agree that England MUST be taken down. They are killing "il jogo bonito."
The refereeing was aweful! That was one of the dirtiest games I've seen in a long time. It was kind of good to see one of the "giants" fall today.
Well, I only saw the second half of the over-time and the penalty shots. By then I figured the players were too tired to do anything. The penalty shots by the Swiss were terrible.
My Hubby's happy, though. :) He was rooting for Ukraine.
