Argentina were lucky to finish the first half with 11 men. The refereee messed up there. Big time

Argentina can take Germany...but they should start Messi or Tevez over Saviola.

England was very boring today, and playing like that, cannot see them beating Holland or Portugal next game.

In the corner
The only good news for us (England) is that we won and live to fight another day. Very poor performance, but still hope!!

alright, what a crazy 2nd half in that Portugal/Holland game.

16 total cards, 12 yellows, 4 red cards...maybe the happiest team here is England.

England are going to the semis when they get hold of Portu-gal and I hope they do and then get knocked out by whoever they face:D

that was one disgraceful game, but you know the English are over joyed, no Deco, possibly no Ronaldo and once FIFA gets a hold of the video tape of Figo's WWE antics he could and should be gone

but ya gotta wonder how much does Van Basten dislike Van Nistelrooy

No Deco. No Costinha. Cristiano Ronaldo could be done. Luis Figo ought to be suspended for that head butt.

Van Basten is kind of foolish, how do you a) leave Ruud on the bench, and b) when bringing on Van Der Vaart, why not take off the defender who already has one yellow, who then ends up getting red carded!

aS a long time fan of soccer I was disgusted by that game. Is the main characterisc of a soccer player cowardice? I remember Rivaldo in 2002 and Figo now. Fuck them all.

Holland sucked from the start but portugal got to many cards, it's going to hurt them if there going to move on forward. Well done Portugal

its not a matter of who likes who. Van Basten made a tactical error. He has not beef against Ruud and placed him on the bench because he did not like Ruud's current form.

England vs Portugal's B side hmmmm should be a real close one :D

England goes on to the semis and possible meeting with those dastardly Brazilians that beat them four years ago on a Seaman error should be enticing

people are forgetting how good Simao is. He'll fill in the slot no problem. Its all tactics and i'll give the edge to Scolari who actually knows how to win on a consistant basis unlike Eriksson who should just retire from managing
