"Still can't stop feeling bad for England."

Same feelings here too.

I was rooting for England too, so much so I was singing along with the crowd God Save the Queen in my living room. I'm a great admirer of the Queen.

I also have a strong bias against refs interfering with a match. I felt everyone was too quick to get on the Spain bandwagon who were aided by the ref's nonsense destroying half the match against Ukraine.

People get very excited but you have to look at everything in total to get a real fix on a squad. And unfortunately England did not play well earlier and then with a chance to step up against Portugal with a big performance find themselves without their key striker for late bulk of the match.

I'm not blaming the ref on this, more frustration as I could see the call going either way.

Hope today finds the players in good form and the ref far from secondary in the outcome.
