		<description>We didn&#039;t stand a chance with an Argentinian ref.. it is like Osama bin laden reffing a USA match! Plus Aaron Lennon was definately brought down in the box for a penalty. I don&#039;t think the French will let the porteguese dive thru to the finals though.</description>

		<description>England never gave up.  And they did not attack the Portugese after the game.  Good sportsmenship.</description>

		<description>England finally played what i thought was a great game and what irony... they lose.
Hats off to the English team. Fighters, one and all. What an absolutely awful way to lose a match; penalties, that goes for any team. The Args were devastated as well. As far as some of the comments on this blog are concerned, let&#039;s all try to be civil. The great beauty of the game, especially this cup is the fact that it can bring us all a little closer together as we are seing millions of people do in Germany.
Portugal managed to hold on and are blessed with an incredible goal keeper. The only negative thing i would add concerns Mr. Rooney.
He performed an incredible diservice for his team today and i believe the memory of it will remain with him for quite some time.
G*d bless the UK and the same goes for Portugal.</description>

		<description>I think 7 teams including England and Portugal deserved to be there but not Italy, not by a long shot.</description>

		<description>ive read half the comments on this page but got a bit bored of argentine fan&#039;s stupid comments so i thought id set him straight on a couple of things, altho judging by what hes written so far hes too ignorant/slow to do so

firstly, the mass brawl at the end of thegame was started by cufre kicking mertesacker in the balls. this was after the match and cufre received a red card for it so u can go to hell with ur savages. rooney&#039;s step on carvalho wasnt even intentional but cufre knew exactly what he was doing cos he wasnt a gracious loser. 

did anyone see maxi rodriguez&#039;s flying punch as well? savage...

as for being savage and uncivilised, ur the lame tard whos come on this site trying to laugh at english fans for getting knocked out on penalties, the irony!

and another thing, its not called futbol its called football, u didnt invent the game, u just invented different ways to cheat in it.

and last time we played it was 3-2, to england just in case u cant remember so that suggests our football&#039;s better than urs.

and our players showed more passion for england than urs did for argentina. 

congratulations on portugal, devastating for england but it had to happen to someone. 

non-english fans, if u have some crap to say go spout it elsewhere, i dont think anyone here really wants to know</description>
