In other news today, I shed a single tear for Spain.
Only one though, because I don't speak Spanish.
Heh, maybe France don't suck after all. :D
Spain 1
France 3
Typical Spain! Play some bright football, but yet, find themselfs going home earlier than expected.
Damn, those bloody frogs, they should be home now. Brazil will do them over!
*jaw drops to the floor at the sight of a third French goal*
REMATCH 1998!
NO!!!!!!!
Well now Brazil really needs to kick some French ass!
Argentina - Brazil for the final.

The World Cup, aka the UEFA European Championship, featuring Argentina & Brazil.
Xabi Alonso is a god, and was the best player on the pitch. The other central midfielders, Fabregas, Xavi, Vieira and Makelele were also fantastic.
Fernando Torres and Thierry Henry are overrated divers.
Typical Spain, really. Showing great promise early on, before faltering in the knockout stages.
3-0 flattered Brazil, and was harsh on Ghana. The thing about Brazil is that even though they don't play well, they can still win 3-0. Impressive.
It amuses me that the two stars of France 98, Zidane and Ronaldo, both of whom have been accused of being past it, scored today, and will meet once more in the next round.
AAAAAAAAH I SO HAPPY. :D:D:D:D
The French have seriously sorted themselves out. Zidane -- forgive me. I honestly thought Spain had a squad capable of winning this game, and the whole WC in fact. :p But they were somewhat outplayed by France tonight. Not entirely -- I saw that Garcia and all had quite a few good chances.
Henry....:( Offside...much??
I hate Puyol I am so happy he fouled =D And GOSH, Ribery. WHAT A GOD! I was really angry at first because I thought Domenech had taken Ribery off for Zidane, but as I later learnt he'd kept them both on, so yay. *joy* None of the ref's decisions were particularly disputable, so good on HIM.
That grin on Henry's face as he hugged Zidane after the game. Oh gosh, it was WONDERFUL! :D
*Also, Spain being slated as perennial underachievers was the truest thing ever said.
I'm happy for France but just as sorry for Spain. As Zidane showed us today, you cannot keep a good player down, I never doubted him for a second. As for Henry's behaviour he should be disappointed with his lack of sportsmanship as I am disgraced with his dishonesty. I'm just glad he didn't do that in an Arsenal shirt
Henry, although he is a great player. But what a twat for trying to get Puyol sent off, he's gone down in my books after that,
l0l do you actually have a reason to hate the French apart from being English/Welsh?Quote:

According to a survey conducted with citizens of every country in Europe, France is the most unpopular country among its fellow European nations. I don't think their popularity in Spain has improved over the last couple of hours. :D
Oh, that reminds me. Time to strikeout Spain on the poll. Oh, never mind. Someone already took care of that.If only you'd seen the last game between England - Germany. I'm sure Croyles will be VERY happy to tell you all about it :pQuote:
