Brazil are as likely to win this one as the USA is to win the next.

So - we're down to France, Portugal, Germany and Italy. It's 4 European teams - not good for world TV viewership. WOuld be better if there was another continet involved.

Wow! Great play by France. Zidane did a master cllass. I thought Brazil was weaker than usual, but thought they would still make the final.

Henry was onside for about 5 mintutes of the game, and picked one of those moments to score.

Ronaldo should never have been out there, and Adriano should have been.


Anyway (revised) Semifinals:

Italy v. Germany - Germany wins.

France v. Portugal - France wins.

Finals :

Germany v. France - Germany wins.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

I'm sure anybody in Sao Paolo could give you all the unbiased details.

I'd like to see the headlines of the English papers tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if Rooney gets the same treatment that Beckham got in 1998 for an equally boneheaded move.

My dad just told a funny, yet typical story about mentioning the World Cup in the US.

He's in Dallas on business (leaves today...his birthday. lol) and my brother wanted a Team USA shirt. Well, my dad goes into a sports superstore to get one, and the following conversation ensues:

Dad: Hello. Do you have Team USA football shirts?

Employee: What? Team USA Football shirts?

D: Oh. Right. I mean Team USA soccer shirts.

E: Soccer shirts?

D: Yeah, you know, for the World Cup????

E: OHHHH. No. 

D: Right....

:veryangry:   :banghead:  :doh:

That was funny 15 years ago. Now lots of us know about the game. The England game was on our biggest network today - like lots of the other matches.

[edit] I thought that was a joke. I guess lots of us don't know about it. They probably don't know who their senators are either.

Nope. Not a joke. I'm sure I was the only one in town watching today. I had to leave at halftime to go to work, though :(

And how are you today?

Holy Carp!!! What happened?!!
It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't.

Great match. Germany was looking to get to penalties, and a great strike by Italy. What a game!! Of course, Germany pushed everything forward, and Italy got the next goal on a great counter.

I'd say they'll win it all now.

Oh great, tomorrow everyone in Boston's going to be an Italian. All the lads who drink green beer on St. Paddies day are going to be knocking back the Grappa like it's going out of fashion. Since when was O'Donnell an Italian name? :D

I heard it was not much of a game, and C. Ronaldo was doing a lot of diving. I saw a replay of the penalty, and it looked like a good call.

I think a big congratulations to Germany is in order. They are doing a great job as World Cup hosts, and are showed very good sportsmanship in their loss on Tue.

Anyway, sports predictor extrordinaire's :rolleyes2: pick for Sun:
Italy 1 - France 0.

Congrats to Italy. Wow! Dodn't expect Zidane to meltdown like he did.

Yes, great game, and congrats to Italy! A well deserved win, I thought. Wow, I was shocked at Zidane....what a sad end to his world cup days. How bizarre that he should do something so stupid, with all his years of experience.

It'll be interesting to hear Jon's report when he gets back! What a game to have seen live.
