It should be an interesting match. It will all depend on Portugal I reckon. Do we see the Portugal that lost to Greece or even the US in the last WC or do we see the Portugal that beat Spain? I think Portugal will come to play and being at home, I don't see them losing. Although I'll be rooting for England...
What the hell are you drinking? Can i have some?
Bullshit
Beckham has never been as bad as Del Piero. Big deal he kicked simone, before that he had a FANTASTIC tournament. And we wouldnt even be here without him.
And its not like he's playing bad, Rooney is just taking the limelight right now.
And... Come on England!!!!

You gotta be joking
Both players have alot of pressure. Del Piero to finally make his mark on international football.
Beckham as captain. Although the pressure on him now is nothing compared to after the Simone incident. He was a national figure of hatred. He couldnt walk onto a pitch anywhere in England without being booed and even shown red cards by fans.
Difference is Beckham can take it. Del Piero chokes.

I am interested to see how many England fans will be in the stadium, they might actually out-number the Portuguese!
Of the game itself, I'm hoping for an open, entertaining match - Portugal will either crumble under the pressure of expectation or be inpsired to victory.
England look very tough to beat and then there's Wayne Rooney....
I haven't got a clue who'll win!

Beckham has to carry way less pressure than Ale. Each and every team everyone is extremely tolerant for Beckham. Del Piero was never forgiven those 2 chances he missed in the final of Euro 2000, whereas no one even could remember Beckham got England out of the 98 world cup. And I do think Beckham sucked so far. He really did play bad games. Though I still remain a huge Beckham fan. I guess I have a soft spot for players who don't live up to their potential. And by the way..that skeleton they once showed in the Delle Alpi with Del Piero written on it, that has got be worse than those red cards.
