Just the one. I stay away from the countries where they can't speak it.

You've got formidable players, but three of them play the same attacking midfield position and Mourinho seems to have gone off his wingers.

Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea win the league again, but I don't think think balance is right for the Champions League.

I don't know if the Spanish fans know how to speak French.

But, they sure did know how to boo at the French national anthem :-)

It will be interesting to see how Mourinho slots Lampard and Ballack into the same line-up. Ditto Drogba, Crespo and Shevchenko. I don't think it's so much a case of Mourinho 'going off' Duff and Robben; it's more a case of them both playing poorly this season.

We certainly have a lot of options.

There are many reasons to hate France, but their National Anthem isn't one of them.

I agree. Go Spain. I fear that France may win 1-0 or 2-1, but still, Go Spain!

I tried it but no good. The Sun commentary is about several seconds behind.

Dunno, I have to rely on it for the play-by-play as I have no TV here at work and the Yahoo gamecast doesn't let me continue with some work.

I hope your fear proves out. Too many donuts at stake. 2-1 payout on France.

I think he'll let Crespo go. Crespo clearly wants to go back to Italy and he's not been a complete pain about it.

Is it just me, or is Torres sporting a proto-mullet?

Perfectly placed penalty shot. Right in the far corner. But why are you talking to yourself?
