Football updates on Portugal, Scolari, Figo and Pauleta

Portugal 1 - Germany 3 (Congrats Germany!)
Portugal gets 4th place in the World Cup, best result since 1966! Nice one! Thanks for the ride guys.

Scolari is about to sign a contract extension of 2 more years as head coach of the Portuguese national football squad. He is by far and deservedly so, the best option at this stage. In a few years time, José Mourinho?

Wayne Rooney gets 2 matches penalty and a € 3,200 fine for stomping Ricardo Carvalho! (I guess FIFA also agrees he deserved the Red Card after all!)

Luís Figo and Pedro Pauleta said farewell to the Portuguese national football squad in what they said was their last match. Cheers guys, well done! Figo was, after Eusébio, probably the best Portuguese football player ever to grace a pitch. Who's next? Cristiano?

...and that's it! Tomorrow is the final match between Italy and France. Hope its a good game and that Italy gets the trophy. Football is about to go on vacation, and about time too! :-)
