The World Cup

The tension mounts.

The France vs Brazil match is less than a day away. Many local bars have set up large screen TV for the occasion. Then England vs Portugal. I don't think France have a chance against Brazil but if they win and England beat Portugal....

Don't look for posts from me for a day or two.

    John,

    Have you ever read any of Dawkins' books. You must have done to have such a strong opinion about him. Which one did you enjoy most, and why?

    sorry alan,

    your boys went down--agonizing to watch them be unable to finish.

    Must say that Rooney deserves all the crap he's likely to get, though...not a good show.

    French v. German final? Who'd've guessed?

    You see now my plan in moving to France. I can now support Les Bleus with a clear consience. The way they played against Brazil, they can go all the way, now.

    The less said about Rooney the better. It was odd how they seemed to play their best football without him and Beckham. Ah well, there's always 2010.

    Luckily I have £10 on Klose for golden boot at 25:1.

    Chris, I'm shocked.

    As a man so squeaky clean he can stay posting at UD, this can't be good for your image. :P

    Well, Sven's out now and Beckham's no longer captain...a new day on the world stage? One can hope.

    But look on the bright side; you're not stuck rooting for the Americans and our slow, deliberate and unimaginative work on the ball.

    Well fingers crossed that France annihilate Portugal tonight, avenging England's defeat and earning their place against Italy in the final.

    Allez les Bleus!

    Zidane was marvellous against Brazil, here's to the same against Portugal.

    Waaaay to go, France!!!!

    Henry, Barthez et Zidane showed the youngsters (especially that prima donna Ronaldo) how to play.

    I'll agree for the most part, but Barthez is a scary keeper...the bobble of the Ronaldo's freekick was a clear mistake.

    I didn't think Zidane played as well as he did against Brazil, but the team as a whole played a nice, focused game. They played football, the Portugese complained about non-calls--that goes to show who came to play.

    Any team that dives that much should be ashamed of themselves.

    The final will be a good game; nice, measured offence against solid, disciplined defense. Can't wait.
