personally i thought the argentinian referee was bitter about his country's lost to germany the previous day, and he was exceptionally tough on the english... during the penalty kick in the final moments, i thought that the goal keepers were the ones who had the most pressure...his team depend on him, his boss's paycheck depend on him, his country depend on him.. his 2 hands, feet and body... so much stress and pressure on the poor guy i thought out loud... then a gentleman beside me, responded, "Don't have to feel sorry for him (the goal keeper), he earns 20,000 pounds a week!" i was like, "really?" oh, alrite then... no lost here... but when the portugese scored their final goal, i thought england went into a silent mourn... the atmosphere was dampened and heavy... to me, it was an experience that i have never felt before, the patriotism in the people for the people... 
england may have defeated portugal in the war, but the lost their sport to the latter...
