Answer

Portugal was the team that eliminated England from two consecutive major tournaments during Sven-Göran Eriksson's tenure as the England manager. In the quarter-finals of Euro 2004, Portugal defeated England on penalties after a 2-2 draw. Two years later, at the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals, Portugal once again emerged victorious over England, this time winning 3-1 on penalties following a goalless draw.
