  1. Barthez must be heavily invested in heart attack meds, cuz every time he touched the ball today, the French fans had to be having heart attacks....

    Buffon or Barthez,,,who would you rather have in goal???

     

    I love how the fans booed Christian Ronaldo every time he touched the ball...

    The Portugese continued the crybaby mode and I was glad to see France win...

     

    It will be a great match on Sunday..

  2. I think France is a tougher opponent that Portugal.  France has the ultimate gamebreaker in Zidane.  Hopefully Nesta will be fit to play.  Materazzi looked shaky at times.  Zambrotta utterly dominated Lahm today.  Klose, Ballack were invisible.

    Frings's suspension hurt the German team far more than they will acknowledge...His absense caused Ballack and Klose to be invisible...< along with the tremendous defense of the Azzurri....

     

    I too concur that France would be a stronger opponent...As I watch the Portugese play all I can think is that Greg Louganis must be a national hero....that and the 'crybaby' attitude of the Portugese makes me say "viva la Bleu..." (AT least for today)...

  3. Congrats meazza.....

    I heard you yell all the way here in WV when that first goal was scored...

    That was a brilliant shot and no goalie in the world would have saved it.

     

    I hope France smashes Portugal...I am listening to XM radio now and they are blasting the tactics used by Portugal......

    And today I was glad to see good refereeing....

  4. What do 16 yellow cards, 4 red cards, and several fights have in common?  They make a great great soccer game!

    Ugh,,,That match was terrible,,,,and the ref lost control...The language issue HAS to be a factor...I have refereed for several years now and I always talk to the players to calm them down,,,,The parents are another matter :: ugh ::

    I have not given out that many cards in my refereeing career...

    Although I have tossed spectators and assistant coaches...

     

    Figo's headbutting and theatrics deserve the RED card....

  5. This match has definitely lived up to expectations.....and that second goal by argentina was SICK....one of the more entertaining matches of the tourney so far!

    Very entertaining match..And the second goal was SICK...It is THE highlight goal of the tournament < so far >

  6. Ok my prediction for tomorrow.

     

    3-0 Italy.

    1-0 USA.

    Totti and the hat trick ?

     

    I hope your prediction is correct.....

    Think about this.....IF Reyna's shot against Czech is two inches to the right and goes in,,,THAT match on Monday is entirely different.......But is is too hard to play the "what IF" game....

     

    GO USA !!!

     

    GO Italy !!

  7. Rule 11 in the FIFA rule book...Offside

    A player in an offside position is only penalized if, at the monent the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the the referee, involved in active play by :

     

    interfering with play

    or

    interfering with an opponent

    or

    gaining an advantage by being in that position.

     

     

    McBride was in violation of the second part....Had he been two or three steps to his left, it should have been OK....But with the knothead from Uragaury, who knows what would have been called...
