No-one knows. Bookies are giving even odds. Both sides are confident. Both lost their first game then pulled back. I guess you can shade odds on Portugal winning at home, that's probably about it.
England were up against France 馃槵 followed by 2 much easier game, hence, they lost then won twice... you can't base a game winning on statistics like that 馃槢
but yeah, being in Portugal, they have an advantage
Actually, talking of the ref, can anyone work out why Portugal got a Free Kick when Rooney goot his foot trodden on and lost his boot (which later resulted in him having to come off, of course). Rooney queried it and the ref seemed to point at his foot, indicating it was BECAUSE he los this boot?
I canot work out why play was stopped at all. No-one had done anything wrong, the foot-trading was accidental, Rooney did nothing othet than get injured... certainly none of the commentators here could work it out.
