The most disgruntled people watching last night's on-field antics were the English supporters - after all, fighting is THEIR job. Most of them managed to behave themselves for a couple of weeks, but in the end they've reverted to type. Now everyone just wants to see them go home - something Portugal are well capable of achieving on behalf of the rest of the world.
Figo, of course, should be banned retrospectively for his "Head Butt", but as Portugal are already going to be missing several players through injury and suspension I doubt whether FIFA have the b*lls to do it. Got to keep those sponsors happy.
I think Australia may just force the Italians into extra time - if the Italians decide to play as they can they might get an early goal and go on to close the game out. If they play it safe, it could be a dour game, and I can see the Aussies causing a shock.
