Aftermath

So it wasn't a foul, but Terry was off-side. England's only other chance in normal time was Costinha's mistake leading to Owen's goal; no passing yet again. Only Ashley Cole emerged with credit.
Once ahead, no one came to pick the ball up off the defence and for the umpteenth time we saw defensive substitutions backfire. Sven should have brought on Joe Cole rather than Phil Neville to carry and above all keep the ball.
Portugal deserved it, but Ronaldo's still a smarmy diver.
