WOW! what a game, portugal vs. holland. i don't know why ruud didn't play. van basten is pretty dumb. and ho, that ref was horrible! couldn't control the game for crap. gotta give credit to maniche though, that goal was just beautiful. any opinions, views of the game?
oh yeah, and beckham is BACK!
i think england is gonna have a hard time with portugal though. portugal's attack is just crazy.

Bend it like Beckham!!! LOL. They barely survived... crap. So much for my upset special. Hehe...
Another questionable call by the referee for the Italy - Aussie game~ They played surprisingly tough.
Ukraine/Swiss... an injury fest.

Looks like a PK shoot out for the Swiss & 'Krinez...
How do you soccer heads feel about the PK shoot out? I personally don't really like the game to end like this... I prefer "Golden Goal" or like how American Football OT operates.
