What I meant to say was that Portugal has let in the equal least amount of goals of any team remaining in the tournament.
As for your tip that England might beat Portugal in extra time...I'm not going to argue with you about that. Without Deco and possibly Ronaldo out...and so many yellow-carded players having to take it easy...deep down I think that this makes England slight favourites as well. We are still more than capable of winning though, especially if a fully-fit Ronaldo plays.
I think its pretty even with deco and costinho out. and ronaldo not fully fit. I think england is a one man team -Beckham. Basically just give the ball to him, he will send crouch and wait for the lazy defender to put his head and then earn an own goal..
never liked the poms and never will. Wait for the ashes, i think they will get hammered.. by some new stars of aussies cricket.
as for soccer, its a disgrace to the football that these referees still have their jobs and are continue to referree in the quarter-finals. It just shows, that this sport needs radicalisation of all forms, otherwise as they say soccer = sissies and italians proved it against AUstralia.
SO did Rivavldo against Turkey, and the croation dude with three yellow cards.
They all claim that this is the biggest tournament in the world? - i dont know if it deserves that kind of recognition, of course the olympics is the true biggest.
anyway, soccer was not my sport and it will never will be. this world cup - (happened to be world cup in which i watched) has just showed, that soccer isnt the world game. its not the beautiful game - its the game of th epussies. and for Australia to be finally qualify for the world cup and then be part of the one which is just so disgraceful , and for teams like Ukraine and Ghana first timers - it just isnt rite.
