World Cup: England and Mexico Going Home

I have to admit that it's getting harder and harder for me to write about the World Cup now that Portugal is the only remaining team that I support.  I despise everything to do with Diego Maradona and wouldn't cheer for his team if they were the only team left.  England is gone.  USA is gone.  Mexico is gone.  Yoann Gourcuff is gone. :)
Cristiano is the only one I'm cheering for now and so I have to have faith in the Portuguese to pull this one off.
England lost in a convincing fashion today to a well-organized Joachim Loew team.  Granted, the 4-1 score wasn't the real score.  England had a good goal by Frank Lampard disallowed.  In the grand scheme, you could say that's only one goal and shouldn't matter, but it would have tied the game at 2-2.  That DOES matter in how a team attacks or sits back.  With that goal gone, then a 3-1 score seems harder to overcome.
I don't have ill will for the Germans (although two scorers for them today are not REALLY German), and I like Loew so I won't be snarky about their win.
I would feel sorry for the English team if they had actually played this World Cup.  Everyone I know who supports them couldn't understand what they were waiting for...PLAY ALREADY!  We see them play so brilliantly for their club teams and they just didn't have the gumption to pull out a win.
Of course the British papers are calling for Capello's head, but the players should be questioned as well.
It seems to be a lingering theme that England has the worst luck/curse in WC play.
I'm ready for the EPL season already!

CHICHARITO scored!!!!!  So proud of our United man Javier Hernandez.  He scored in today's match with the Drug Addict's team.  3-1 was the final score, although one of the Troll Tevez' goals shouldn't have been allowed.  Go figure.  Wasn't good enough for United, and thoroughly belongs on a cheating team.  His coach should know a great deal about cheating...as he had a HAND in the 1986 World Cup win.
Argentina...zzzzzzzzzzzz....next.

Come on, Cristiano!!!  You're my only hope.
