Oh well, we all know England aren't good at penalities anyway. Sniff sniff... here's to the next world cup when England can at least get a good manager not crappy Sven.
England is undoubtedly a great team they were just unlucky (luck is also a part of the game). Hope you're not too sad.

No but seriously, congratulations. Must be a hell of a party over there. Have fun and i hope for you they'll get to the finals. I myself like the French team, or atleast they're the only ones the Dutch team doesn't have a history with of losing to them and I'm happy they kicked out Brazil tonight.
It is one hell of a party here, you wouldn't believe it. I left my house a little before the extra time and there wasn't a single person on the streets which is saying a lot considering it was a sunny Saturday afternoon. About a minute after it was over all hell broke loose! The streets filled up with people shouting and honking their horns, it was insane! From what I saw on tv, the same thing happened in Paris, the Portuguese living there took hold of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Same thing must have happened in other places as well. Most Portuguese don't have the best of self-esteems (as far as being Portuguese goes) so when something like this happens people become genuinely happy and proud of their country (what football does to people! ).
I'm also glad France kicked Brazil out. Not that I have anything against Brazil but I know plenty of Brazilians and they all have this "we're the best of the world" attitute that really annoys me! I rather watch Portugal lose against France than against Brazil. But it surely is going to be a tough game, the French team wasn't exactly playing well in the first round but all of a sudden they decided to live up to their reputation! Amazing! If they beat us I hope they win this world cup!
