No offense to my British friends here, but many British football fans, anytime during the World Cup, always act like Boston Red Sox fans before they finally won another title in 2004. They feel like they were cheated out of every chance, that they were screwed over, blah blah blah.

England played very well today, but the coin of luck just didn't fall on their side. One or two different changes of occurences, and England could have prevailed over Portugal. Its not like we got another "Hand of God" incident here.

Besides, at least England has won a title. Portugal is fighting for its first.

BTW, France defeats defending champions Brazil 1-0.

So it'll be for the semi-finals:

Portugal/France
Germany/Italy
