Tony, I agree with almost all of what you said, all but Portugal; even without the cheating accusations, what team plays 11 men against 10 men without any forwards on the pitch, like they did against England? Dodgy, rather negative tactics.
Notice all the boo's whenever the ball was passed back to a keeper throughout the tournament? Too much negative play, I think; too many teams were more frightened of losing than wanting to win, summed up perfectly in the Switzerland and Ukraine game in the last 16.
And I also agree with the Zidane comment: even his headbutt was cool. I love him.
