I respect portugal for their great showing in this tournament .They gave a hard fought battle to France .Unfortunately ,i must admit that Xavier did handle the ball ,but i know some Portugese dont want to accept but its true.What do u think .

it was a 100% right decision, he handled the ball and deflected it outside.
unlucky portugal but its just the beginning not the end to them!

Yep,but Portugal will come out strong for World cup2002.

Xavier is unlucky to handle the ball, seems that France is destined to be in the final eventhough they went through a tough battle against the Portuguese. The Portuguese team and Luis Figo deserved a standing ovation. They'll definitely do well in any coming tournaments.

The penalty was a correct call, but should not have been necesarry. The pass Anelka received (from which he gave Henry a scoring position) looked very much like offside. And it was the same assistant referee......
