overbearing heat = sleeping with all the windows open = waking up before 6am by the traffic = liable to fall asleep at a moment's notice

Portugal 0 - France 1

Zidane pen 33'

bwahahahaha to portugal and it's lot of cheaters. seriously, did you see how many times they took a dive, those bastards ? ronaldo was booed each time he touched a ball, it was great. :p

lol nice pic

haha !! excellent. i have to check out that site. :p

I was disappointed tonight.

France played a really awesome game, Portugal just didn't pull it together.

They were going decent in the first half, they kept it down in France's zone, really good offence, similar to what we saw in the england match, then it just started to break down.

France's defence was awesome, which was the main problem, and Portugal could easily get it down infront of the net, but they just couldn't keep it there, France would be on them like stink on shit.

About the penalty kick, I respect that it's the ref's call, and he likely saw it different than I did in the replay, and afterall, there was contact made. But even you France fans can't say that it wasn't the least bit unfair, it was clearly accidental, portugal goes down first, France player rights himself, then goes down once portugal hits, they never intended for it to happen. I found the calls to be slightly against portugal, almost unfairly, but the ref's call is the ref's call I guess.

just for all the dives and falls ( i lost count after 4), the ref should've been harsher. how many times did i get a slow mo of ronaldo throwing himself, or letting himself fall ? it's ridiculous. so no, i didn't think the ref was unfair at all. they should've been booked for pulling stunts like that, so they should consider themselves lucky.

as far as the penalty goes : even if there hadn't been penalty, henry would've probably scored. if it hadn't been for the fault, he was all alone, and right in front of the goal. so there.

well i'm rooting for germany in their game for 3rd place. :p

They may play dirty, but i'm going w/ my homeland: ITALY.

It must be harder for them to pay off the referees at world cup level than when they play in the Italian league, but Im sure they'll give it a go!

haha, touché

be careful, i have some family in upstate ny that make housecalls :p

If this is anything like World War 1 or 2, then France should fold like a house of cards. I freaking hate the French, and I hope the Italians kick their asses.

This is embarrassing... The radio station that i work for is sponsoring the viewing of the final game on Sunday, the 9th. They've sunk a lot of money into marketing this: Tv spots, radio spots, press packets, flyers, etc. It’s going to be a big event. So I get the promotional email yesterday and what does it say: COME TO THE PARK TAVERN SUNDAY, THE 9TH TO WATCH THE FINAL GAME BETWEEN ... FRANCE AND GERMANY... I guess I'm the only one at the station that follows anything other than music.

3rd Place Play Off

seriously, all respect i had for him just went out the window... moron !

but what happened ?? i didn't see what went on with vieira, which apparently must've pissed him off.

i know i'm a bitch... but hahaha... now i won't have to hear the french exclaiming for years on end "champion du monde ! champions du monde !!"

the silence on the other side of my window is bliss. :D

vieria pulled a muscle and was substituted before this :confused:


guess it will be a peaceful nights sleep for you then :p

aaaaaaaaaaahh... the way they made it out here, i thought it was a bad tackle. and i still maintain there was no penalty on malouda in the beginning of the match.

yes very peaceful night indeed. except i have to console the bf and try to sound sincere. :D

hahaha... people are incredibly fast over the net.

dammit it's not working !

OWN3D!

Now the moron's last memory is a red card and losing the World Cup. Great way to go out.:rolleyes:

Not that I'm a big soccer fan, but I watched the finals. That headbutt was fuckin' vicious! It was the highlight of the match for me to be sure.

Can anyone lipread and tell us what Matterassi said to Zidane? no doubt it was something charming involving anal penetration & Zidanes mother....

If Zidane couldn't pull it together for the not only the final match of the World Cup, but the final match of his career then he shouldn't be celebrated as a champion of the game.

bernard tapie said it surely had something to do with his mother. others say that materazzi called him a terrorist. *shrug*

people tend to forget that this is not his first outburst. he's been violent in the past... 1998 world cup, and once against hambourg, even against south korea (i think) in the beginning of this WC. a lot of people think it was justified, i just say it was incredibly stupid, knowing how his team is lost whenever he's not there.

I think the fact that it's literally his last outburst is what people are on his case about.

whatever the case, obviously, he didn't really give a damn or he wouldn't have done what he did.

and though it's big, i highly doubt this will be what he's remembered for. certainly not here.

This evening it was apparently a combination of the two, with prostitution thrown in for good measure.

SUPER ZIDANE SPECIAL COMBO ATTACK!

LMAO@Despare's post!!!

That's awesome...I almost had my drink come out my nose when I saw that! LOL!

I'v heard nobody EVER talk about soccer unless if the world cup is on.

Honestly? In the past, I didn't think soccer looked too interesting and so never bothered to watch it. However, when I was stuck in the hospital for near two months with a TV where one of the clearest channel was the ESPN Soccer Channel, I got hooked on it...Well, that and Lucha Libre wrestling because one of the Spanish speaking channels came in pretty clear too.

I tend to like English soccer more then the other leagues...Favorite teams are Arsenal, Chelsea and of course, Manchester United! :D

BTW, everybody's got Zidane's awesome headbut, but where is a gif of the guy stomping on an opposing guys nuts while he's down?

that is awesome - - - i really think someone should come up with a t-shirt with a giant forehead print on the front with the words "ZIDANE WAS HERE" on the back. . . he's my hero!!

Well, I'm guessing that if you made a shirt like that right now to sale, you'd make a freakin' killing worldwide...

Other then the US...And France of course. I do believe that shirt would be as unpopular in France as the American flag is...Or maybe even as unpopular as soap and razors. :eek:

not true. most of zidane's fans are behind him completely. they think the guy deserved every bit of it. the guy in question, materazzi, is now admitting that he did insult zidane, but refuses to say what he said to him (though he assures it wasn't about his mother).

and concerning rooney, he didn't stomp on the guy's balls. in the replays you can clearly see that it was an accident. the only one who did some stomping was zidane again against saudi arabia, during the '98 world cup, earning himself a 2 game suspension.
