brazil lost to france; portugal advances with defeat of england

france defeated brazil enroute to the final four. hay... what a game. nakakapanghinayang. feel really down. sayang sila. although i like france too, for the sheer genius of zidane on the ball. he was really instrumental. and he seems to be peaking up again, just before retirement. there's not many emotional pics from brazil. try to look for some next time. you can just check the fifaworldcup.com site.

england lost on penalties to portugal with a final score of 0-0. ang daming chances para none was converted even after the 30-minute extension. the game was really good, with both sides attacking and defending well. it was very emotional for the english side, what with beckham taken out for injury. kumusta naman si rooney? masyadong hot-tempered, na-red card tuloy. oh well, was rooting for the underdog, portugal the whole time we were watching. things evened out.
