"Ronaldo has actually spent more time on the ground than on his feet."
Must be something wrong with the gravity next to the French goal.
lol - it's a conspiracy!
Where did you get those pics? I have been looking for the one with the italian players with purses in their hands.
Has anyone seen Deco. Please tell him the game is underway.
I'm disgusted and stupified. If a Hot Dog eating contest can be on the main board, World Cup Soccer definitely should be there.
I know you've tried.
Norway :-)
Ricardo in the French box for the cross!
Well, now the Portugese players can go back to Chelsea where they belong :-)
What a great bet I made! I am sure you will be delighted to learn my each way bet guarantees me a pay out now that France have reached the final. And when they thrash the Italians, I will get even more!
Well, Saha did his best to hand Portugal a lifeline, but to no avail.
At least the other teams' fans will have someone other than Mourinho to boo next season.
It's The Blues (Azzuri) vs The Blues (Les Bleus) in the Finals. Maybe they should call it the "BB King" Final. :)
"She wore Blueeee Velvet"
"Hiya Neighbor. Let's go for a ride."
No kidding. I guess all the FIFA talk about cards for diving was a bunch of hot air.
That's always something :-)
OK, maybe somebody can explain this to me--near the end of the game, the French sub, #14 I think (Saha?), got a yellow card for a tackle. Why did that particular tackle get a yellow card, and others didn't? It didn't look that bad. I'm not criticizing, just curious--I don't understand the fouling rules in soccer very well. Offsides is enough of a stretch for me to handle.
France vs. Italy in the final. Maybe the Italians will advance further on the pitch than they did in southern France in 1940. :)

At least they did better than the equally overrated Brazil team.
It was a two-footed challenge, possibly from behind (not 100% sure on that). They’re a big no-no as far as FIFA is concerned. It was a correct yellow card.
Not this day!
