England v. Portugal
Posted by Gordon Smith

They are about to start the penalty kicks as I write this. What an amazing match! England lost Wayne Rooney to injury early on, but still led most of the match, 1-0. Portugal scored the tying goal in the 83rd minute. Portugal scored again in the second extra-time session, but England retaliated with a goal of its own, forcing penalty kicks. England's goalie is horrible, so it looks bleak for the boys from the island.

UPDATE: Portugal is looking like a team of destiny, and David Beckham is looking like a goat. For the seond time in this tournament, his missed on a free kick (probably) cost England the match. Exciting stuff.
