Damn. I missed that. The thing is, I've seen a lot of people say exactly that - every French player underperformed, but I disagree. Zidane was one of the players of the tournament, even if he was only at 80% of his best.

I agree with that. His single-handed performance against England was sheer-class.

Classic, I loved Zidane's performance against England, he was pure class for 3minutes.

 

[Fred]

but i must admit that was the best 3 minutes France performed in the whole tournament.

Come on, he was the only French player to show any sort of spark through the entire 90 mins. Don't take that away.

Maradona Savages Real & Praises Arsenal
9/20/2004 11:39:00 AM
Argentine legend Diego Maradona has launched a savage attack on Real Madrid after watching their capitulation to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last week.
He described the Galactico's as a "band of stray dogs" and believes that Arsenal are the best team in Europe.

"The Galacticos aren’t more than a band of stray dogs," he said: "I felt embarrassed watching them.

"Roberto Carlos didn’t know what was he doing on the pitch and Beckham was just looking for the flashes. All of them just wanted the match to finish. That’s not football."

He added: "I do like Arsenal a lot, they’re the best in Europe. And Thierry Henry is a ’Maradonian’ player."

----------------------------------------------------------

Another Arsenal bandwagoner. But this time its Maradona.

I wish people would take performances in Europe for this consideration.

oh come on the last 3 matches in the group phase were more than magical when they won all their last 3 matches including a 5-1 against Inter in san siro,the 2 matches against Celta were also great.

So by beating Celta Vigo and crushing Inter Milan, that makes Arsenal the best team the world? Please.

 

[Fred]

well crushing Inter Milan,and winning the EPL without one loss is good enough.

btw,who would you reccomend were stronger than Arsenal last season?

 

[Nicole]

Inter, we in a crisis when Arsenal beat them, and Celta Vigo, were in the relegation in La Liga (and were relegated) there were FAR harder teams in the Champions League, then Inter and Celta

 

[Fred]

well you knwo i dont recall any other team beating the the way we did last season.

as for Celta,theres a difference between the domestic league and the CL,for example Barcelona 2 seasons ago were in a terrible position in the league,but they did fantasticly in the CL,they even broke Cl records at that season.

 

[Nicole]

That may be true, but do you seriously believe being in the relegation places in the league, was a inspiring thing ahead of the game against Arsenal? I doubt it.

The teams in the Semifinals of the Champion's League.

 

[Fred]

[Alex]

OK, let's make it that way... I say that Arsenal won't make it through to the semis... We're on!?

 

[gray]

I'm in for that bet too.

If you lose, you put up an avatar of Alex's choice for a month, and an avatar of my choosing for the next month.

If you win, Alex and I wear an avatar of your choice for a month
