France 1 Portugal 0
EXCELLENT! Portugal out! Yes!
Now, regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, his antics were obvious and predictable.
From a BBC article:
"Ronaldo tried to win a spot-kick of his own moments later, but his theatrical dive under the slightest challenge from Willy Sagnol was ignored by referee Jorge Larrionda."
From a Soccernet article:
"Ronaldo produced another elaborate dive in a bid to win a penalty, eight minutes before the break.
He threw himself to the turf as he jostled with Sagnol for position under cross from Luis Figo. "
From a New York Times article:
"In the 30th minute, Ronaldo tumbled spectacularly after running past the French defender Eric Abidal. Domenech was incredulous on the sideline, gesturing wildly that Ronaldo had taken a dive. The referee did not blow the whistle."

Glad to see the back of the cheating Portuguese.
They were always trying it on whenever they were need the penalty box.
Well done to old boys France. They were a bit slow and some of the substitutions especially with Saha nearly cost them.
The Final will be good to see. I prefer to see France wins it ...

Agreed agreed! Well done France!
Good riddance to the Portuguese indeed.
Well, I do like both France and Italy. Still, I will still to Italy.
