Quite possible...though if Ronaldo is badly injured & FIFA step in & red card Figo I am liking our chances more. Gotta be really wary of the diving though.
 
Been confirmed that Figo cannot be banned for the headbutt due to receiving a yelllow.

Its a double jeapordy rule - cannot be tried twice for the same offence

Which means he will line up against england

Depends if that is what he was booked for. The ref clearly didn't see it so it is possible he was booked for some other offence, meaning they could...& I hope they do.

Not at all they are organised and scholari is a master tactician, forgetting the refereeing shambles portugal have knocked out a very good dutch side tonight.

Who have england beat :o
 
England I hope will be up for this. Nearly every player was in the squad which got knocked out in Euro 2004. Also i think Portugal will really miss deco and ronaldo possible even more if he is indeed out.

England have a real chance i think, whether or not they will take it is another matter though :o
 
Deco and Ronaldo are Portugal's best players.
This is England's best chance of making the semis since 1990, I gotta say I favour them now - even if they were total rubbish so far.

Very good Dutch side? No, one of the worst in years.

Portuguese organised? Lol, it's not the referee's fault if the players are commiting cynical fouls all game, the players brought it all on themselves.

Who have England beaten? You can only beat what's in front of you.

They came to this world cup with a much better side then they have the previous 2 by leaving out all the ego's

As for beating whats infront of you - You could at least put on decent/good performances.

England have been poor all world cup so far


Yes scholari is a mster tachtician he took off pouletta when holland were getting back into the game and brought on a defensive midfielder, after that the dutch found it really hard to penetrate the midfield.

Good tactics..........I'd say so ;)

Guys, just a suggestion, but I think it would be an idea if you were to refrain from posting threads about future matches until all of the highlights programmes later on this evening are finished, for those of us who may not have been able to watch today's games live.

I didn't say we weren't poor, I just said we've won when needed. Portugal have scraped past Angola, only beaten Iran 2-0 (same as our result against T & T) and scraped passed Mexico. Hardly convincing.
 
A mexican side who happened to of taken the argies all the way. so pointless trying to make out the mexicans as a rubbish/average side ;)

They took Argentina all they way, so what? Everyone just jumped on the Argie bandwagon after they beat the terrible Serbs. As many people have said, I distinctly remember England beating the same Argentina team a few months ago.
