Portugal have beaten England 3-1 in a penalty shootout after the scores were 0-0 at the end of normal and extra time. :cry: Rooney was sent of mid way through the second half. England players had golden opportunities to win the game but missed chances that you don't expect to be missed. I don't like the way Portugal "play" the game. :furious:

I hope they don't make it passed the semis.

France have beaten Brazil 1-0 with a Henry goal about ten minutes into the second half. France won the game with their defensive effort.

I was disappointed with Ronaldo, when he got a free kick with a dive near the end of the game. :evil:

I was glad to see France beat Portugal 1-0 in todays semi final. :D Not all kiwi's are anti french sports people 8) and I won't go into my thoughts on the rainbow warrior incident. :evil:

Yesterday Italy beat Germany 2-0, scoring both goals with only two minutes left in extra time. :cry:

I want France to win the final.

Thanks Southernman for the updates.

I don't think anyone thought Italy and France would be in the finals. Apart from Germany, I think Italy's path was very easy. France though had to beat Spain, Brazil and Portugal!

If Zidane plays as well as he did against Brazil and Portugal then France have a good chance to lift the trophy.
