Last night (11pm, 1st July to be precised), I watched the England vs Portugal match with ry, yx, pyy and hk. The match ended in 0-0 draw and eventually both teams were given half an hour additional time to make their last struggle. However, they still fail to score any goal. Thus, penalty kicks are required.
1st penalty: Portugal scored (Simao); England failed (Lampard). 1 - 0
2nd penalty: Portugal failed (Viana); England scored (Hargreaves). 1 - 1
3rd penalty: Portugal failed (Petit); England failed (Gerrard). 1 - 1
4th penalty: Portugal scored (Postiaga); England failed (Carragher). 2 - 1
5th penalty: Portugal scored (C. Ronaldo) & win. 3 - 1
Initially, it was a bit boring game as both teams were not aggressive enough in finding chances for goals. But, the injury of David Beckham just after half time added some spices into the game. And, to add in more flavours, Wayne Rooney was given a red card after 62 mins for stepping on Carvalho's groin @_! Both strikers were sent off!!!
In the penalties, Christiano Ronaldo scored the winning penalty, sending England team back home.
Meanwhile, the latter match (3am) between Brazil and France "surprised the world a bit bit" when Brazil was defeated by France with 1 - 0. This indicates that Brazil's hope for World Cup 2006 Champion ended here. Samba no longer rules in this World Cup 2006.
To recall, Brazil has also lost to France in 1998 World Cup final. Looks like they are meant to be tough rivals in the football arena :p
Semi-finals will be Germany vs Italy (4th July) and Portugal vs France (5th July). The losers of both matches will be competing for 3rd and 4th place on 8th July; while the winners will meet in the FINAL on 9th July.
Let's open our eyes wide wide and see who's gonna be the winner of World Cup 2006!
P/s: I think Germany will meet France in the final, and Germany will win. Just a prediction hehe *winkz*
