Zidane, Lilian Thuram, Patrick Vieira, Willy Sagnol, Louis Saha and Franck Ribéry will not play in the final if they pick up a yellow card tonight. I don't know about the Portuguese...

Where to start?
Ricardo, Valente, Figo, Carvalho, and Maniche.
Damn that I am at work and have to watch the taped game at home. I will disappear from these forums like Cinderella in a couple of hours to enter my self-imposed media blackout a la Juve.

That, or the humongous digital screens in downtown The Hague that carry news headlines, weather and, of course, football results.

e.g. for the Germany vs Argentina match, I recorded it because I didn't have access to a television at the time it was played. I managed to get through an entire party and a day out with friends (making everyone vow not to tell me the result), then on the way home in the car, I was talking to my brother (who's a once-every-four-years football fan) and we were discussing the upcoming England-Portugal match when he says "I want to see England vs Germany"...
portugal or france anyone?
i want to see france in the final, just for the sake of zidane as he deserves it. But i have this feeling that if france make it, they will win the title. And i want italy to win.
my prediction is france though, they impressed more than the portugese,their weakest link however is their coach

I was watching yesterday's Italy-Germany game at about a 5 minute delay on my PVR due to some poorly timed but necessary bathroom breaks. In the 115th minute my phone rings, and I knew to turn up the TV volume and let the answering machine pick up. Even so, they kind of blew it in that I knew from the timing that the match probably didn't go to PKs...

Oh those delays can be lethal. I remember a friend of mine once followed a recipe on one of those cooking shows, by pausing it. So at some point she restarts it after having done something pretty final to the food, and the guy goes: "But before you do that..."
that's gotta hurtIndeed, there are degrees of spoiling... though sometimes the subtle ones are pretty annoying as well. In this year's Champions League match against Bayern, a friend (whom I'd specifically told NOT to ruin the match for me) told me that it was a fantastic match... which totally ruined the surprise for me when Trezeguet scored the winner in the 85th minute

I call it football when I'm talking to football fans, but for communication's sake I call it soccer when speaking with those less acquainted with the game.
Soccer is the standard name here, because there are other 'football codes', namely Rugby and Australian Rules Football. As of some time last year though, Australia officially adopted the worldwide name of 'football', and the "Australian Soccer Association" was renamed to "Football Federation Australia". The Aussie national team is still affectionately known as the "Socceroos".
