One thing hasn't been satisfactorily explained for me. Just how did Wayne Rooney break his foot? Was he just running along and his boot came off and 'ping' went his metatarsal? Or did the Portugese defender who was running alongside him accidentally stomp on his foot? If so, isn't that a penalty? (It doesn't matter about the penalty because Beckham would've missed anyway.)

That Campbell 'goal' was perfectly fair in my opinion. Of course Terry and Campbell were in the place that the goalkeeper needed to be in to make the save. But they're not going to move away are they?

Whatever caused the referee to make the decision he did was not based on a good view - he was too far away to see. The view that the referee had was very different to the view that TV cameras had. Possibly the referee's assistant had a better view, and he seemed happy with the goal. For the referee to assume that there must have been something wrong with the goal, or to accept the Portuguese goalie's version was very poor refereeing.

We always end up having poor refeering at these championships. EUFA and FIFA should appoint a panel of good professional referees and assistants, loan them to national leagues in between championships, and provide them with the best training from aclaimed referees who have retired. I'm sure that they can afford it. They should stop pampering to National Associations to make sure that referees are chosen by ability rather than nationality.

Of the game itself I thought a draw was a fair result, and given my built in bias towards England, that probably means that Portugal deserved their victory.
