(which I love) is that a key player like Aaron Ramsey can get himself banned from a semi-final for an accidental and meaningless hand ball in mid field that some ref decides merits a yellow card in the quarters. Totally disproportionate punishment and bad for the product. Yes, I preferred Wales today because Portugal regularly produce the biggest snoozers of this or any tournament. But to ban a player of Ramsey's caliber from this level of game is just mindless and should leave any real fan feeling at least a little cheated.

I hate Portugal, they are so lucky!
And most of all I hate RONALDO!!! Hope France win on the home championship!

They are having a big to do in Cardiff for them this afternoon and no....we aren't going. We just got back from Tenerife on Tuesday and I am worn out from walking all over there for the past two glorious weeks! I'm curled up on the couch watching the Tour de France this afternoon after running errands most of this morning.

But then again, on paper at least Germany should have beaten France.
