I was disappointed tonight.

France played a really awesome game, Portugal just didn't pull it together.

They were going decent in the first half, they kept it down in France's zone, really good offence, similar to what we saw in the england match, then it just started to break down.

France's defence was awesome, which was the main problem, and Portugal could easily get it down infront of the net, but they just couldn't keep it there, France would be on them like stink on shit.

About the penalty kick, I respect that it's the ref's call, and he likely saw it different than I did in the replay, and afterall, there was contact made. But even you France fans can't say that it wasn't the least bit unfair, it was clearly accidental, portugal goes down first, France player rights himself, then goes down once portugal hits, they never intended for it to happen. I found the calls to be slightly against portugal, almost unfairly, but the ref's call is the ref's call I guess.
