Dunno what I was thinking saying it'd be Brazil and England in the end - I was looking at the tree wrong. I think it'll be Brazil and England in the semi finals then Germany and Brazil in the final. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/bracket.html
the england and portugal game will be too close to call.I would probably side with portugal on this one as in euro 2004 that ball should have never went right through to owen to score.Oh that reminds me lets hope the ball does not move for beckham again eh
i am watching the englash game, and im canadian and i have to say there is a lot of turkies out there. They dive and fake injuries. Im not knocking the game but doesnt this ruin it? Just my opinion and am i worn or right?
well i am absolutely gutted. we come a cropper on the shootout once again.. talk about deja vu. also, all of our penalties were crap. Fair play to Ricardo though, he's a legend at penalty saving...
without this meaning to sound like sour grapes, Portugal have bob hope + no hope of winning the world cup!
Next game, Deco & Costinha´ll be there, is not a very big deal, but helps a bit. Personally, I also don´t think Portugal will win the cup, but at these crazy times everything could happen. Anyway, as a Portuguese, is my desire to see Portugal as a champion.
masesaco - depends if you get Brazil or France. If you get Brazil, then you haven't a hope in hell. But France? yeah, you definetely have a chance there. Winners will be Germany or Brazil. Definetely a Brazil-Germany final.
As it turned out, '98 all over again. As sad as I am to see Brazil go. France deserved to win. Congratulations France!!! The Cup is European in 2006.
oh well its a funny old game.A day of shock and disbelief.France deserbed to win they showed great guts and determination.
Wow, france won. That makes me very happy, i just DID NOT want to see Brazil win again! It's a relief this time we're gonna have new world champions.I'm saying Italy (sorta have to, cause im italian) and Portugal in the finals. Also a question about Rooney, why was he red-carded?Because he stepped on the guys "Jewels", or cause he pushed Ronaldo? If it's cause of the push, thats a joke, it was like a love tap. But if it was for the "stepping on the balls" incident, then i agree...I was really not sure when the card came out.
He purposely stomped his balls and deserved the card for it. There's no excuse for squashing a man's jewels. Ouch!!! I'm really bummed about their loss I'm not a big fan of France's squad but the goal Zidane set up and Henry beautifully finshed was pure artwork. France played world class ball and Brazil deserves to go home after that piss poor effort. With all the talent and potential the Brazilian squad has their performance was pathetic. After today's results I think I'll keep my trap shut next time I feel like predicting outcomes The staged falls are getting really annoying and ridiculous. If you can't play like a man then go sit on the sidelines and play with dolls. Chickensh!t moves like that disgrace the game.
