I'm generally not the most sports interested person, but there are some exceptions. One is when Barcelona is showing off, the other is when any other combination of teams offer good football of high quality and speed.
Portugal just beat England in the quarter final, in a penalty shootout, after exactly display of such. The Portugese goalkeeper, Ricardo, which I'm possibly especially interested in myself as I was a goalkeeper myself for more than a decade displayed that he really does belong in the world championship, he did an exceptional job.
Congratulations, it will be fun to watch Portugal in the semi-final.
