I must admit, the French were mesmerising at times, and in the end I was happy to see Brazil go out. It seems the pressure of being labelled as "The Greatest Team Ever Who Will Crush All In Their Path" got to them, as they've been, well, sad at times.

I hope the French beat Portugal now, although I'll be rooting for the winner of Italy v Germany in the final. I can't cheer for a team with the loathsome Patrick Vieira in it, really, and Thierry Henry isn't in my good books either after his Spain antics. But yeah, Portugal are even worse.
