Haha! I hadn't even noticed that. Yeah, seems a little fishy...

So are French women more attractive than Spanish women?

How about in Greater Europe?

The most attractive are, in a conventional sense -- how about in a unique sense?

Paz Vega is way more hotter than Penelope.

Torres used to have a full blown mullet. It was terrible. His current crop probably falls within the boundaries of fashion.

Good end to the second half. France have picked their game up a lot and Spain are playing well. 1-1 is fair.

I have my money on Spain choking though!

I remember fondly the great performance by Zidane in the '98 Cup and I'm a bit sentimental about his departure, so I'm kinda pulling for Les Bleues.

But I haven't been overwhelmed by their performance to this point, so I'll not bother trying to handicap the match.

I'd just like to see Zidane get to play just one more match.

It's just a little cheeky humorous thing..but those songs might be familiar to you. I haven't heard any of them.

Just checked the link; I must admit the charmingly titled "Cup My Balls" was a completely new one to me.

I usually avoid World Cup records like the plague though I have to say the English are not the worst offenders. The Scots World Cup songs were always worse (and usually featured Rod Syewart). That was in the quaint old days when they actually used to qualify.

My favourite one this year was Geoff Hurst (hero of '66) and others redoing the theme from the old BBC WW2 comedy "Dad's Army". It wasn't very good, but it irritated my more politically correct friends a treat.

ESPN announcer just said 'I think he got a finger in the eye or something. He's fine. Come on, stakes are high! It's a man's game, let's play!'

no too keen on the whining today I guess :)

That and trying to figure out:

1) Why Paz is obviously european while her daughter is mestizo or indigenous.

2) How Adam Sandler's restaurant is able to function without him speaking spanish.

Stupid movie. Hate LA.

See, there's a whole WC song thing you folks have that we here in the states have never heard of. The most I recall hearing here was ...what was it, some Ricky Martin song? Or was that Allez-allez-allez song from France's cup.
