Dude, I didn't even know there was a forum for the World Cup... I guess I was a bit late.. hee hee. I can honestly say this is my first time watching the World Cup intently. Maybe in part that it's been on in my house a lot.
I know why my team doesn't win.... we SUCK. ha ha.... Anyways, I was rootin' for France a few hours ago and I was a bit devastated that Zidane got a red and didn't get to stick around on his last game ever. What a pity. I watched the Brazil vs. France game last week and I was rootin' for the underdog and France just plays with such ease. Maybe I believe all those articles about how Italy likes to fake it. I don't know. And I just don't understand why Henry or any of the star shooters weren't in the shoot out, even if they're dead tired. It all seems just too bizarre.
Too bad I wasn't studying abroad this summer instead of the next, I think it would be mayhem over there. But it would definitely be an experience to remember. I wish the States were more enthusastic about soccer. Ah well... thanks to all who read all my ramblings... lol.

America sucks. I wasn't even rooting for them when they were in it. They were too crappy. I was for England. But I missed the first part of the England Portugal game. I didn't see Rooney get the red card. But I watched all of the France and Italy game. I started laughing when Zidane did that. I mean, you'd figure if someone gets mad they'd punch you, but he just rams his head into that guys stomach and knocks him down. I thought it was funny till they gave him the red card. Which sucked even worse because they had taken Henry out already. Yep.. so all hope was lost for France after that point.

Yeah we suck. Whatever. My dad was telling how stupid our coach was when we were in it... putting a lefty on the wrong side of the field and getting mad at the player for not playing correctly. Stupid, very stupid.
Yeah.... I thought it was hilarious how Zidane did that headbutt today. And the refs using instant replays to catch him? I thought soccer wasn't allowed to do that. Maybe Zidane's head is made of steel or something. I really want to know what that italian guy said that triggered Zidane to hit him.

I want to know what that guy said too. It must have been bad for him to do that. That was Zidane's last game too. They still almost won though. That one guy hit the cross bar on the penalty kick.

I felt so bad for the guy on the France team that screwed up his kick with the cross bar. But it was nice to see that his teammates weren't mad at him and they were completely consoling him.

penalties are the worst way to end any game - its like the lottery, no real skill involved.

Yeah, it makes me so nervous to watch shootouts. I believe none of the keepers touched any of the balls during that game. But there was the Portugal vs. England when they had a shootout too. Portugal's keeper saved at least half of the goals.... he knew exactly where and when the ball would head his way. I don't know how he did it, I mean if he repeated it over and over again like that, it's gotta be some sort of skill. *Edit* New flash: Zidane is given the gold ball?!? I haven't even heard of it until last Sunday, but apparently it's like the MVP of the World Cup and the only guy that got a red card in the final game gets it. It's ironic, but he utterly deserves it. Yay Zidane! And the headbutt!!  |

thats funny - he's come out and said what he did was wrong but he wouldn't do it in the last 10 mins of his career ever in a world cup final unless he had reason.

They made fun of Zidane on Conan O' Brien last night. They ask different stars questions and they asked some baseball guy who he learned sportsmanship from and he said his dad. They had a picture of Zidane and they asked the same question. He said an angry mountain goat!
