How about we use current history, as in England qualified for the World Cup with ease, and Portugal had to slink by Bosnia-Herzegovina. If Englad supporters are like Leafs fans, then Portugal fans are like Canucks fans. Years and years of ineptitude, followed by a brief glimpses of success but no actual championships, yet they crow like they've actually done something noteworthy.
Tell me exactly what Portugal supporters have to be proud of? The Portuguese hype around Ronaldo is almost Luongo-esque. Fitting since they both do the same amount of diving.

Dis credit the shootout all you want. It's the way matches are settled. It's part of the sport and everyone should accept that because it's not gonna change.

So then I guess Korea is a better team than Italy?

Really? Because I can think of several little differences between the past England squads you mentioned and the current squad, plus one big one (Capello).
