Hopefully Figo will also get suspended but it looks unlikely.

Lol according to the stats there was 20 cards with only 25 fouls in he game.

how many breaks can england get in a WC? they have a group with T&T, Costa Rica, and a sweden team that looked nothing like they did in qualifications. they play ecuador in the round of 16, and now they're playing a portugal side with just 10 players.

Thinking about it if the ref should be given the possible Spain Brazil quarter as they are both dirty teams who need a tough no nonsense sensible referee like we had tonight.

I hope England crushes these whiners.

Btw I'm suprised Portugal seemed so happy to have won the game. I'd be pissed, their chances at a run are pretty much sabotaged. Ronaldo might be injured, Deco out, basically entire squad playing with a yellow.

This shouldn't be a team happy to just advance to quarters.

Fallen Hero,

how big do you think having Costinha and Deco suspended will be v. England?

[/ QUOTE ]

will the suspended Luis Figo help or hurt Portugal in the game against England? (I think he is the worst player on Portugal, but if they have no one to replace him...)

It would be awesome to see Ronaldo and Figo gone for the next match as well. Maybe some English hooligans can injure Ricardo, Pauleta, Simao, and Valente before the next match begins.

so correct me if im wrong but players with yellows who receive a yellow in the next match will miss the semifinal but if they receive no card or do not play the yellow will reset for the semi. and players with reds miss the quarter but are clear for the semi.
