England will be praying for rain, rain and more rain. It looks like the only thing which will save them from a certain exit this evening. I expect the technically superior Portuguese to pass the ball at whatever speed they wish until the inevitable mistakes are made by the English defence. There is no harm in England having a run at goal though, They have done all that can reasonably be expected of them and I wish them luck. England have bee wonderful to watch, but I am afraid their defence couldn't stop a taxi. They have done us proud and put the smile back on my face for sure. Now we shouldn't burden them with unrealistic expectations.
It looks like a Holland France final. The Dutch are back from the dead and I think they will continue to improve. I wouldn't mind another helping of the thrilling football they served up last Saturday.
