I rarely make posts about football, in fact this is the first. However, I believe England being knocked out of the World Cup merited one.
It is sad to see a great team once again lose on penalties. England never come out on top when it concerns penalties and tonight, against Portugal was no exception.
Wayne Rooney’s sending off was idiotic. Yes, he should have been booked for pushing Ronaldo but not sent off, no way. We might have had a chance if it wasn’t for that. And the scored-penalty that was dismissed because the keeper wasn’t ready would have helped the team out.
It was great to see Beckham battling it on (off the pitch) after he was taken off, injured. Incidentally, everyone had the spirit to win but of course England’s dream was once again shattered.
How good would it have been if we had won? A nice forty wait. 1966 – 2006. But no, not for us.
