It's a waiting game now - will it be Portugal or Holland.

Holland

Well maybe. Apart from 45 minutes against Serbia, we've been a bit like England, quite average, yet if we meet, one of us will be in the Semi Finals

I hate it when we play England, as it means the wife and I, are opponents for 90 minutes But at least one of us will be in the Semi Finals.

First up though, is Portugal, and i'd make them slight favourites tonight. They have been playing okay, although they look a little suspect at the back.

Fingers crossed

England were disappointing today. They just about deserved the win, but Ecuador are a very average side, that England made look fairly solid. A.Cole, Hargreaves, Carrick and Rooney all put in good shifts, although I thought Lampard and Ferdinand were poor, and Gerrard misplaced too many balls. Beckham was also fairly anonymous, bar the goal.
