To me England is by far the worst team left. They have been very lucky with their opponents, and even now they meet a Portugal without two, possibly three, key starters.

Portugal is the better team, hasn't lost a match in ages, is battle tested, and has the better coach. With the English bettors in a nationalistic blur, Portugal +325 is becoming hard to pass up.

Wouldn't be surprised if Portugal wins this by two or three goals. But I'll probably won't bet on the game, other than a fun wager. Soccer is too much of a crap shoot.

I'm still scratching my head what to do with this game,
considering the DRAW result in regulation time at the moment.

England has good defence and with only Rooney upfront they won't creat much. They have lost to the Portuguese twice in recent years euro championships quarters i think, so this time should make it at least to extra time. Really i can't see a winner in this one in regular time.

Welp - With Rooney just getting a red there, England's cup is officially done.

Well, I really thought England was going to pull it off.
Ive always rooted for them.
I dont really care that much about any of the teams left, Portugal would be nice for a change...

Bah - Portugal has 0 class.
They have 4-5 "bitch" players - and I'm not talking like "Claude Lemieux" type of bitch players (that you wish were on your team).
Supporting them is impossible, they are, along with Holland, Mexico and Argentina, the WORST 'sportsmen' in the world.
