Same Old England
Same old England at football tournaments.
Penalty shoot-out can England win one? (Deep down you somehow doubt it and low and behold they lose again)
Two Quarter Finals had been decided by Penalty Shoot-outs and you saw the most effecient, clinical example of how to win by the Germans (Do they ever lose Penalty Shoot-Outs?!)
England v Portugal was far from a classic game and played in a stadium with its roof on which makes it a strange atmosphere with no natural light to give any sense of day or night. Neither team really created any major chances and neither teams goalkeepers had anything of note to do.
Wayne Rooney morphed back into Wayniac Roonatic and kicked a different set of balls and got sent off. It will be interesting to see how the tabloid press greets Rooney and Eriksson tomorrow.
France beat the supposed favourites Brazil by a single goal...actually none of the quater final games have been that exciting.
What I really wanted to see at the end of show montage for England though was footage of Svennis Goran Eriksson and Steve McLaren with the Pet Shops Boys song 'I'm with Stupid' being played over it.
Well they have 2 years to practise scoring from 12 yards out for the European Championships!

I feel for you, honestly. Sometimes you just feel like going up to Sven, grab him by his shoulders and shake him: Wake up, man!
But I never felt that England were confident enough, even in the press conferences before the match, there was something missing.
Anyway, you could have won...penalties aren't a science, perhaps for Germany they are ;) Well, look ahead and think there'll be no more Sven, things can change!
Sorry to hear about this :( As we red sox fans tell ourselves all the time (2004 not included): maybe next time?
While in Romania, I was with 6 girls and we went to a pub to cheer for England in that game. We were the only ones cheering for England, so we kept it down a little ;-)
(We were a bit loud hehe)
