it's so bad that we ate breakfast in front of the "telly" this morning during the England-Portugal match (we are SO not a TV during meals house...we're barely a TV house). At least this one was on ABC...we don't have cable, and it's been funny watching my kids following the other games on Univision (only dh is fluent in Spanish).

All I can say is that England certainly didn't get elimintated because of lack of support out here in the Arizona desert. If the match had been determined by cuteness instead of penalty kicks, we'd have had their ace in the hole--check out this little guy (we won't tell how many pounds his world traveller dad shelled out for this coming home present!).
