Portugal was really lucky and could hang on. I agreed they materialized on the biggest mistake Dutch created, but the second half was the weridest half i had ever seen in my whole life.
i agree on all 4 sent off. the deco tackle after the 'unsporting drop ball' possession, could have got himself a straight red.
figo might be suspended. i dont know if 'star status' is a factor for fifa to consider. yup, the assistant ref could have asked the ref and 'suggest' him to send figo off. but i was surprised by the yellow. i wonder what it was for. if for head butt = must have been red, then for what?
england is stuggling, i would see if figo is not suspended, he could carry them pass england, just like he did in euro 2004.
both teams have demontrated the best 'unsporting behaviours' in history of soccer. but lives move on.
