We’re starting to get a bit of a theme now, aren’t we?
Penalties, Portugal and key players being involved in moments to forget on the way to another exit.
England led early in this quarter-final through Michael Owen before Rooney was forced off through injury in the first half.
The Three Lions were pegged back late on by Helder Postiga, before Rui Costa and Lampard scored in extra time to force penalties.
England went on to lose 6-5 with David Beckham blazing the first spot-kick high and wide, while Darius Vassell saw his effort saved.
