Portugal's football team is probably second in theatrics to Italy. They play dirty and try to provoke the opponent into doing something flagrant. Worked great against England (at least Rooney went out in style after stomping on that guy's huevos) and the Netherlands.
And England came up so small in the penalties. You could see the fear in Lampard and Gerrard's eyes as they stepped up to the spot. Weak penalty shots combined with Portugal's vastly superior goalie equals bye-bye Ingerland. A nauseating but well-earned end.
