A semi-surprise: Holland is eliminated and Portugal goes through to meet England in the last 8. Both teams played high quality football but at times the match seemed a corrida more than a game of football.

4 eliminations and a goal: this is how this match will remain in memory.

Anyway, Portugal has a big match ahead. Enlgand is a strong team and, unfortunately for them, Deco will not play and Cristiano Ronaldo’s faith in uncertain. He got injured in and he was replaced in the 30th minute of the match.

Anyway, a great game, on of the best game of the World Cup so far, in my opinion.
