GELSENKIRCHEN, July 1: England and Portugal went into extra time Saturday after playing a 0-0 draw through 90 minutes in the World Cup quarter-final.

England were playing without captain David Beckham and striker Wayne Rooney.

Beckham was taken off in the 52nd minute with what appeared to be an injured leg, and Rooney was ejected in the 62nd after getting tangled up with a Portuguese player and then pushing Cristiano Ronaldo just a few steps from Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo.

Beckham left seven minutes into the second half, about five minutes after Nuno Valente stepped on his right ankle during a challenge. Beckham tried to play on but was hobbled.

After he was replaced by Aaron Lennon, Beckham sat on the bench, his head bent over covered by his hands, appearing to be in tears. He later sat on the ground stretching out his leg with towels covering it.

After losing their captain, England seemed to gain new energy and their thousands of fans started singing louder and longer, trying to inspire their team with a rousing version of ‘Rule, Britannia!’

Frank Lampard then had an open volley from Steven Gerrard in the 53rd, but mistimed his shot and sent it into the ground.

Lennon made a deft move in the 59th minute, cutting around defenders to send the ball to Rooney in the middle. But he mis-hit it, and Ashley Cole's attempt went over the bar.

Rooney was then sent off after getting tied up with Ricardo Carvalho at midfield, hooking his arm around his thigh. As Carvalho was down on the field, Ronaldo came over and Rooney pushed him. Rooney had a look of disbelief on his face when he was shown the red card by Elizondo.

Peter Crouch came on for Joe Cole in the 65th, taking over from Rooney as England's lone striker.

Luis Figo then had a great chance for Portugal in the 78th, but goalkeeper Paul Robinson dived right and just was able to push the ball away.

At the other end, Lampard had a booming free kick in the 83rd that Ricardo blocked with a dive, and Lennon's shot off the rebound didn't have enough pace and also was stopped by the goalkeeper.

There were few good chances in a dull first half that saw England press in the early part but then seem to lose energy in the heat. There wasn't even a corner kick until the 41st minute.

England's John Terry (30th minute) and Portugal's Petit (44th) both received their second yellow cards of the knockout stage, forcing them to sit out the semifinals if their team advances.

Rooney had a 20-metre shot in the ninth minute that Ricardo stopped, and Robinson pounced on the ball four minutes later when it bounced off English defenders and went to Tiago, who couldn't get off a shot. Luis Figo was wide to the far post on a curling shot in the 40th.—AP
