English defenders John Terry (L) and Rio

B?hlertal, GERMANY: English defenders John Terry (L) and Rio Ferdinand arrive at the team training camp at Mittelbergstadion in Buhlertal, 29 June 2006. England take on Portugal 01 July, determined to finally smash through the glass ceiling of the quarter-finals and secure a place in the last four of the World Cup.Twice in two tournaments under Sven-Goran Eriksson, England have been bundled out in the last eight stage, suffering the crushing disappointment of early exits at championships they had dreamed of winning.The common thread linking those twin ejections at the 2002 World Cup and European Championship in 2004 is Portugal's charismatic coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, the man blocking their progress once again.
