That seemed to be Cpt Shearer's advice, too. But it was Rooney who crunched the Portuguese bloke's nads and it was Rooney who shoved CR right in front of the ref leaving the ref with no choice but to send him off. I'd think the rest of the England team would be well within their rights to want to kick the crap out of him for yet again showing what a moronic infant he truly is.
I have to say that England played extremely well with 10 men; much better than they did in previous games with 11. Hargreaves was brilliant, even to the end when he must have been utterly knackered with all the running around he did. After Rooney was sent off they managed to get close to scoring against a Portuguese side that often looked more tired than they surely were. But congratualtions to Portugal for the win; they did enough despite the huge hole in their midfield left by Deco's absence.
The game of the day was surely France v Brazil, though - the French played brilliantly and deserved to win, often outplaying the South Americans and totally dominating midfield. Henry's goal was superb. Great game of football.
