This game just left a very sour taste, noone came away with any credit. How Henry can be sucha fair and frightening prospect for Arsenal and be a go-down-very-easy kind of player for France is very strange. Portugal should be banned for their pathetic antic. Big Phil, hugely overrated as this world cup found him out. Abidal was there fro the taking, Ronaldo was on fire, and what do you do? Put Ronaldo in the middle where he is least effective, take off a very ineffective and frankly out of his depth, Pauletta, and bring on the poorest excuse of a striker you are likely to see in Postiga, whose only contribution was to get in the way of Figo to spoil great chance of equaliser. when will he learn that Simao is very ordinary and cannot change any game when brought on? Why did he bring Nuno Gomez if he had no desire to play him at all? Ronaldo apart, are any of the offensive players he brought as good as Quaresma? Anyways good riddance to bad rubbish
How tired were France? The old men were made to look old and they have to improve or Italy have to play very badly for them to become champs again
