I've got tickets for the game on Thursday

Shold be an excellent game. Figo vs. Beckham, Ronaldo vs. Rooney

It's really a tough one as to who I will support. TBH I'll be gutted whichever side wins but I think I'm ever so marginally more favourable towards Portugal. If they win the country will go even more mental than it did yesterday.

I'm surprised at some of the criticism here of both Portugal and England. IMO they are both playing extremely well and are definitely worthy qtr finalists. I'd go so far as to say they would both be worthy tournament winners on the strength of both their last two games. No side is perfect (OK, apart from Brasil ) but England and Portugal are both getting close.

Who will win it on Thursday? Too close to call but maybe home advantage will swing it in favour of Portugal? Judging by the number of England fans who are here though there may well be just as many, if not more, England fans than Portuguese ones

[QUOTE="michaelab, post: 549946, member: 1011"] I've got tickets for the game on Thursday :p Shold be an excellent game. Figo vs. Beckham, Ronaldo vs. Rooney :) It's really a tough one as to who I will support. TBH I'll be gutted whichever side wins but I think I'm ever so marginally more favourable towards Portugal. If they win the country will go even more mental than it did yesterday. I'm surprised at some of the criticism here of both Portugal and England. IMO they are both playing extremely well and are definitely worthy qtr finalists. I'd go so far as to say they would both be worthy tournament winners on the strength of both their last two games. No side is perfect (OK, apart from Brasil :rolleyes: ) but England and Portugal are both getting close. Who will win it on Thursday? Too close to call but maybe home advantage will swing it in favour of Portugal? Judging by the number of England fans who are here though there may well be just as many, if not more, England fans than Portuguese ones :eek: Michael. [/QUOTE]
