You know at the risk of sounding unpopular I am going to have to say this.

That goal was not necessary fine, I thought so until at few minutes ago when i say the replay for the umpteenth time. John Terry did have his arm on the goal keeper which did look like he was being pushed. Although the goal proerply should have stood it would have been unfair. If portugal had played better (which they did) then lost by a dubious goal then the ref would have been in trouble from the other side.

I think the goal should have stood but it is not as clear as it seems.

We should have played better but we didn't we should stop blaming a single event as the reason we lost]

Here you can see the refs view of the incident, From that angle it does look a hard one to call
