I agree. The referees in the England-Portugal match were appalling. Portugal got called for nothing. England played most of the match a man short and still held their own. Mind you, I didn't think England were shining stars in the shootout. But they got all the way to the shootout. The dives and phony injury complaints should have been embarrassing to the fans of the Portuguese team. Especially the guy who drew the red card on Rooney. Playing, shortly after pretending that Rooney had stepped in his groin area. I thought that the International aspect of the World Cup would force them to be above fake injuries but I was sadly mistaken.
I, too, think that England should have been in the semis and possibly the final too.
I my opinion, having watched Portugal matches against Netherland and England, Portugal does not deserve being in the final.

Long live the queen! Oh yeah!
