It went to penalties, and after 5 of them it was 4-4, so they each took another penalty and it went to 5-5, then England didn't score on their next one. The Portugese goalkeeper stepped up to take one, GOALKEEPER VS GOALKEEPER style, and knocked it straight in

ouch....
I always cheer for England or Brazil at tournaments like this, becasue it seems to me that both countries regard football as their own sport that they've given to the world, and they feel like they should always be the best at it, which reminds me of the way Canadians feel about hockey, so I have sympathy for both those countries.

On the first 90 + 15 minutes england did nothing, just tried counter attacks, come on, execept for Campbell they always lost 1vs1's, they made something like 3:1 fouls, and you cant compare how many times we shot, and COULD. Sorry but they didn't even deserve the extra time. Not to mention Rooney should have been yellowed for playing without one shoe.
Well, who cares, GO HOME ENGLAND!

I didn't get that - what was he supposed to do in that situation? Say 'sorry guys, I could score from here but I need to go put my boot back on'?

Rules are to follow. He should have stopped immediatly, it was his fault not to re-tie his shoe properly as every player does, as everyone stops his action to do it even during important moments. If then someone stepped on him and took him off football forever there would be no one to blame and everyone would be mad at the defender with no fault.

Yeah this was a really exciting game. On the whole, the EC haven't really disappointed me yet. Most matches were quite exciting.
