I like England, but geeze, Portugal is more elegant in style of play.

I don't like a game ending with penalty kicks, but that Portugal keeper was phenomenal. 3 stops on 4 attempts. Wow.

If Deco had played, the game would have been different.

I was rooting for Portugal at first, but man, I get sick of the diving and dirty play.

The ref this game was excellent. He gave the middle finger to Portugal and their shenanigans.

Why I like English Football

by fuegote

They don't dive.

England's play was seriously lacking but watching the EPL is my favorite league because there's little to no diving.

watching the french play is like watching soccer silk. It's funny how the mood of a country is evidenced on the pitch.
