OT: World Cup thread 7-1

[pRON aHOLIC]

Ouch, England very ineffective in the PK phase.

Getting my snacks ready for the next game.

[The UnDoug]

I saw that. Too bad for England.

[jdc]

isnt it really nice outside?

[Webster J. Duck]

England has looked pretty lethargic the entire Cup. I know a lot of ex-Pats that will be impossible to live with if France advances.

By the way, Portugal is the nicest, most accommodating, kid friendly place I’ve ever been to. Congrats to them. Sweet, genuine people.

A buddy of mine who's been there said the same thing. In addition, he said it has the best food too.

[Seacrest]

when I saw the "7-1" in the thread title, I was reasonably certain that it represented the date, and not a final score.

[The UnDoug]

jdc, I've been outside since 9:15 this morning. *Just* came home in time to catch the penalty kicks.

So there.

[Silencio]

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.

Football? We're talking about soccer! ;-) Just kidding.
