Nail bitter.....
England and Portugal have gone to Penalty Shots....
Edit:
Let's be perfectly clear on what happened; England gave the match away.
England lost on penalty shots.
Brazil and The-Land-Which-Makes-Up-What-Would-Be-Dante's-Tenth-Circle-Of-Hell-If-He-Had-Been-Willing-To-Scare-Everyone-That-Horribly (France) kick off in about an hour. It's a 2100 kick off (German time), so that puts it at about 1400 Texas time.
And if the English team had not been foolish and had someone sent off (thereby being forced to play short-handed), they'd be on their way to the semi-finals.
For anyone who cares, the score will be officially listed as "0:0" with Portugal as the winner. Those who follow the sport will know that means it came down to penalty kicks. That is one of the weird things about international football.
