Hi Marlon, Yes, it was a good game. France had the luck to have been granted a penalty when many would say it was a very doubtful penalty. But football is like that. Perhaps the Portuguese were lucky against the Dutch and the English so now it was their turn to be unlucky.
Anyway, I think Portugal knows how to lose and accept it much better than few other nations. It is a learning process and they have mastered it along the years. No surprise there. So they are now going to play against the hosts in what is going to be another good game, I think. So, may the best team win for 3rd place. As for the final, I am betting for Italia! They have provided the best entertainment so far and I think they deserve to win. FORZA ITALIA!!! (Good luck Viviana - I am pretty sure Italia will win). Best wishes Paulo. PS: World Cup 2010?
