I'm not a great fan of football, but yes i believe we were cheated. For starters the referee was sweedish, and probably annoyed that we beat them and sweden didnt make it to the quater finals.
On a side note im not too down about it, because Spain, Italy, Germany AND France have been knocked out too! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Actually i'll think u'll find that as the keeper wrapped his arms around Terry in an attempt to stop him heading the ball and pull him down, Sol Campbell jumped over the top and knocked Terry to the floor, seeing as the goal keeper had his arms around Terry, he went with Terry to the floor and Sol headered it in.
I'm not really a fan of football but at European level I take an interest, and I can't believe that was called as a foul. I say it was the keepers fault because he could have put himself in a better position, and he's just shorter than sol campbell anyway.
But, hooray for Portugal going through, I wouldn't mind seeing them win just because they're the home team.

Make no mistake, however, Beckham's penalty was poor. Credit to the Portugese (save Costa) for pulling off some smooth penalties.
