My match of the tournament. Even with only 10 men, England were able to keep Portugal out of goal throughout the extra time. Aaron Lennon replaced tired Beckham and brought a bit of much-needed pace, Hargreaves had his best match, man is he good, of the tournament, and Peter "Aim for the corner flag" Crouch showed he could make an effort to score. But the goal is still missing even in the shoot-out, with terrible misses from Lampard (I can never score except for Chelsea) and Gerrard ( I can only score from outside penalty box) .Cristiano Ronaldo? Interesting to see how he get along at Manchester United next season, still he is the hero, scoring the final penalty that kicked the English out of the semis. Ah.... but still they will still gloat about the win in 1966 for another 4 years..... again.
