So England is out of the Cup, a real shame because they certainly played the better game against Portugal.
It's really such a shame that a World Cup starts off promoting social issues such as racism, but can't even get it's own house in order. Why aren't more players yellow-carded for purposely diving and thus holding up play? It's a rediculous situation, and one Portugal certainly likes to take advantage of. It's disgraceful that their national team uses carding as a tactic instead of just playing the game. Ronaldo's running to the ref. after some fool placed himself under Rooney's foot, then subsequently winking to the bench after the red card was shown highlights the problems out there.
Mind you, what kind of behaviour can we expect from a guy who balls his eyes out everytime Portugal gets kicked out of competitions?
