wc 2006 quarterfinals

Germany in, argentina out.
this was an interesting match with 1:1 at 90 minutes so it was down to penalties for the match decider. argentina's goalie was injured (Abbondanzieri was replaced by Franco after he was taken out by klose) so they has the backup leo franco took over. dont think it was his fault anyway. german goalie lehmann was just perfect and saved 2 penalties to win them a place in the semis.

Portugal in, England out.
Good game but again, it was down to the penalties to decide the winner. portugal goalie ricardo was amazing. without him, portugal would not have won. he saved 3 penalties.
i was very happy that England did not make it. The way they were playing they don’t deserve to be at the quarters.
rooney got a red card when he "pushed" c.ronaldo and got sent off. opinions are that the ref should not have sent out rooney. if you asked me, he deserved it.
so who's to blame? referee? beckham? sven? well, dont really care. the english blokes looked like they were playing for themselves than for their country.

France in and brazil out
Didn’t watch the match as it was too late but was very surprised at the results when i heard.
watched the replays though. thierry scored with assist from zidane. very unexpected turn of events.
