What a trip it has been

This ones for Pessotto

Toni celebrates after his shutout streak comes to an end, his streak of only having one goal lasted all of nine minutes, as he put in another header to send Ukraine home with a 3-0 defeat.


Portugese Men of War

An emotional elimination for the England faithful and veteran players. Beckam was left in tears and helpless on the bench with an injury and Rooney was simply a bystander too after his cheap shot to the groin netted him a red card.


The Host With the Most

An 80th minute goal helped Germany extend its stay, and then a penatly kick victory sent the country into a frenzy and sent No. 2 Argentina packing.



Brazilch

Ronaldo is out of breath and out of chances. The all-time leading World Cup goal scorer is shutout along with his team as the veteran bunch of France stave off retirement for another day. Zidane leads his team with an Henry goal and superb defense to provide the shock of the knockout stage thus far.
