I like England's 9-0-1 when Rooney was on the field and how it changed to 9-0-0 later.

Oh so that's why you like Italy

Don't. For me the pain is still too near

The question is, do I like Italy?

I think I cheer for Juventus players, bar Emerson, but no I am not an Azzurri fan.

I'll buy you a beer on Friday.

You would if you had the playstation efficiency of the average japanese citizen.

Aha, cheers int:

Unfortunately the trip is currently in the balance, they're dropping like flies at the minute and I'm owed a lot of money. Will hopefully still make it but its touch wood to find some last minute replacements

 

[JCK]

I am there anyway, I travel tomorrow morning.

 

[Tom]

well I'll hope to see you around then. I'll be the one wearing all black but with white reflective patches and ski goggles

 

[mnementh]

He should be banned for that.

Good lord, do get us a picture

btw, for the record France only shot 5 times, and scored 1 vs Brazil. And shot 5 vs Spain too. Quite boring and not like their team in the past.

finest ? i saw them playing well in two games in this world cup, against spain and brazil....it wasnt due to the coach, henry is always offside and out of position, not contesting any headers, ribery and malouda r not cutting inside to provide some runs...if it wasnt for the world class players on the field for france they would've been out by now

Henry seems like a mismatch for the system Domenech has put in place. He obviously knows better than to be offside as much as he has been, and yet his NT play has been a real disappointment overall. Zidane is the engine that has kept them going, but even he has had his moments of looking 34-going-on-50 on this squad.

The thing in France's advantage is that their best play is starting to come out now, despite their very meagre beginnings in the group stages. Ribery seems to have the legs where Zidane's age and range slow him down. And Vieira is one of the few players who have been a pleasant surprise from their normal field of stars. All in spite of Domenech, of course.

Sometimes all you need is to win by margins and play tight at this stage, and France are succeeding at that just when they need it.

will do but only if you've finally got rid of that other embarassing one :irritated

yeah vieira has played well for france, capello better watch and learn how a true master coaches his players

 

[denco]

r u being sarcastic abt henry ? cuz he didnt impress me at all....last nite was all about zidane

Sarcastic? No i was being factual and you seem to agree with me that Henry for his national team is just above average, not the world beater he looks in an Arsenal shirt playing in the premiership. It seems without his pace in the Nt , he would be even worse

 

[Eddy]

I wish Ribery comes to Juve...This guy is a beast

 

[jorossian]

Juventus - Milan rocked and give me Italy in the final every time. Not boring to me at all. Brazil is boring to me. And Engalnd too. Atleast england is out. Hoping for Italy Portugal final still.

This is one of those ever-debatable points. Any sporting event in which you have a large emotional investment in one or both of the teams involved will be heart stopping regardless of what happens on the pitch.

I'm sure most england fans were glued to their seats and clutching with tension at every pass for every second of their matches in this WC. It all depends on your point of view.
