The Best Team Won
Allez Les Bleus! What a brillant game France played, a totally deserved win.
Zinedine Zidane showed tonight what a great player he is, completely bossing the game, looking in total control and enjoying it. What a contrast to Ronaldinho who was pretty anonymous though that was not entirely his fault, France were just set up as a much more balanced team.
A solid defence with Makelele and Vieira in front of them never let the name’s of Brazil unsettle or get by them. I can’t remember Barthez having to make any direct saves from the World Cup’s greatest scorer Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, Kaka made no impact and neither did Adriano or Robinho when they came on.
France can win this World Cup. Portugal were very ordinary in their quarterfinal and I can’t see them getting any better in the semi. Against Germany or Italy I think the boys in blue will fancy their chances.

I predict a tough game with unfortunate yellow cards which may dampen France or Portugal chances for the final…
I love both teams, a bunch of great players, should be a great fiesta! The Figo - Zidane and Henry - Ronaldo showdowns are worth watching!
May the best win!

ninosk is right before 1982 we were nothing, but in 24 years we’ve become a good football country but yet nothing to compare to brazil or germany itlia spain or england, because our championship isn’t as good, only 2 european titles…
my prediction:
it’s gone be very hard
maybe 2-0
I hope no extra time and no yellow cards to have everyone in good shape against tired italians on sunday.

my prediction for tomorrow is that it will be a high scoring game. Something tells me it will be 5-2 or 3-0 but I won’t say for who
either way both Portugal and France need it to be a clean game without injury and/or yellow/red cards because they will need to be 100% for the final against Italy.
I am an Italian fan and I don’t remember a time when they have played so strong (not even in 1994 when they made the final). As for 1982 I don’t remember that final too well.
France is playing stronger too but I think that Portugal will try to get to their best players the way that they did against England. And Portugal’s game against Netherlands was a record breaking game where cards were concerned. So it must be their strategy to play a bit “dirty” so France needs to be careful.
It was great for France to beat Brazil but I think that Portugal’s game is better defensively so in a way this will be a tougher game for France.
Either way good luck ![]()

I just don’t understand how the people atack the portuguese players and after defend players (that I like too) like Henry (diving) and Zidane (red cards and agressions in WC games).
It’s sad to listen less than 24 hours from the game a player like Gallas in the press conference saying all that sh!t about portuguese players knowing what the team mates do when teir are in the pitch.
We are a small country and the image that we have of this WC is that England and France are affraid of us and just make great pression upon the referees before the games.
I would just love to see C. Ronaldo or Deco or Figo scoring a goal and then all the team run to a side of the pitch and dive (all the players). You know, I loved to see when Fowler after a goal that he scored put in his knees and snifed the white line of the pitch cause were saying that he consume cocaine.
Portugal 15 - 0 France

To Screw the Frogs:
Futbol or soccer as it’s known here in the U.S. is a game open to anyone and everybody.
As long as you can kick a ball, any ball, you can play.
Dude, come on! The world hates us cause of the policies of George W. While you are free to express your opinions, you are not helping the good old U.S of A here!
Ligten up man. France is now a multi-ethnic country just like us. They have black players just like we do in our NFL, NBA and MLB leagues.

zinedine zidan a the boss




jamaica zidan and henry a the boss

Portuguese Players dive as much as all others.
What some press can do to a team it is incredible.
A Dutch Player injured Ronaldo.
I didn’t see as much of sentences about this fact as Ronaldo’s dives!
What a Dive from Thierry Henry, Ricardo touch him, but not for that dive show!!
Two Countries, two opinions!
That’s the world we living!!
