Portugal moves on to Quarter-Finals

So, Portugal qualifies, but not without some drama. It was a record setting game, in which the referee gave 16 yellow cards, and ejected four players (two Portuguese and two Dutch) off the field. It was a really physical match and Poncho and I were on the edge of our seats and even had sweaty palms.

Thankfully, Maniche, a Portuguese player scored one goal, and this was all they needed to win the match. Still, by the end, there were only 9 players on each side and it seemed that at any moment they would start a brawl on the field.

Now, Portugal faces England on Saturday but without two key players, maybe three since Cristiano Ronaldo, another great player, was badly hurt by a nasty foul.

Either way, it's exciting. I'm now looking for a flag for my car to show support for my team. GO PORTUGAL!!!
