		<description>White you need to get over. Brazil lost and there is nothing you can do about it. I hate when people make excuses for loosing when most people who watch the game saw how bad Brazil played and how Portugal couldn&#039;t cut it eventhough these so called old French players are too slow. Now if you don&#039;t like French winning then don&#039;t watch the game anymore and stop whiney. It must suck to loose against old folks huh? That must really hurt.

Allez Les Bleus</description>

		<description>My Dear &quot;White&quot; William:

For your information, from what I&#039;ve gathered off the French players biographies at FifaWorldCup.com, nearly all of the French players, be they black, white or whatever ARE BORN &amp; RAISED IN FRANCE!!!

To answer your question, &quot;why are there so many blacks on the team?

As is the case here in the U.S, the kids who are minorities and thus economicaly disadvantaged put a lot of effort and emphasis on sports as a way out of their economic situation. In fact, Zinedine Zidane was discovered playing in the back streets of Marseilles when he was 14.

Enjoy the game for what it is; a great game. Please leave peoples skin color or ethnicity out of it.</description>

		<description>I am so disgusted at the referees for giving the French so many breaks!!

I guess FIFA wants France to win. After all, what a better way to say no to racisim than having a team of imported ringers win the cup!</description>

		<description>Great job France.  The team peaked at the right time and the performance against Brazil was worthy of world cup status.  Brazil is not as washed up as comments indicate.  Teams like France simply outplayed and outclassed the former champions because of talent, better organization and the will to excell.

France did all the right things.  They effectively controlled the mid field.  They checked the flanks adequately against attacks from the wings.  They invaded the Brazilian teritory with relentless effort and threw the Brazilians off track.  Their overall team chemistry was superb and was able to withstand counter measures from Brazil.

I&#039;m still disgusted by player tricks such as diving and faking injuries.  Although the yellow cards were exessive, it&#039;s good to enforce the rule so the game can be enjoyed.  I believe players can turn soccer into ice hockey if the referees are not strict.  Have you watched an American ice hockey game lately?  It&#039;s like going to a fight and a game broke out.  Can&#039;t have that in soccer.

I predict France will win the cup if it keeps the current pace.</description>

		<description>We&#039;ll, I hope the French-haters who wrote on this blog were watching the game today. No way around it: they outclassed Brasil.  No fluke here.

Allez les bleus!</description>

		<description>no one awnsered to dan about his question on trezeguet,
domenech believes the team plays better with one scorer, and with malouda and ribery taking and controling the sides, i wasn&#039;t to hot about that tactic but it works, so?

 we had a lot of very poor post nothing to do with football, isn&#039;t there another place for these people? it&#039;s the same question i ask myself when i go in italy germany spain france in some of the greatest stadiums in the world= why are they here? isn&#039;t there another place where they can shout like pigs, be racist and sometimes have the chance that a lot of poor childrens around the world would like to live one time in their life, with greater respect for sports values

France-Brazil what a chance
may the best win</description>

		<description>I congratulate France. Their strategy was the right one, and unfortunately La Seleccion did not adapt, although the game was much closer than the score indicates. Many of France&#039;s shots on goal came after they went up on the dubious free kick call, including the one that resulted in the third goal.

Henry *did* dive, the video proves that beyond a doubt to all but the most partisan of supporters, but I place the blame squarely on the ref. This style of &quot;football&quot; is ruining the reputation of the game we all love.

Unfortunately, referees are human and make mistakes, but it is very painful that they always seem to do so against Spain in a crucial match.

But the bottom line is: France was better (not to mention luckier) that day. The record speaks for itself: Spain always chokes in the big game, despite their talent. When they are faced with a marquee team in a big game they always find a way to lose.

Alas, I suspect the same will happen to them at the next Eurocup and World Cup. It has become a psychological crisis. A real tragedy for such a young and talented team that deserves better...

Well, that&#039;s all I have to say about it. Good luck to France. I hold no grudge. As a Spanish-American I can only hope that we learn a lesson from this and return stronger than before. Someday, perhaps, we will be champions.</description>
