Portugal should have concentrated more on actually trying to score, than on trying to dive a penalty. It sometimes really looked ridiculous, when the ball came in from the side, and instead of jumping for a header, they fell down by themselves...
Good Game Italy! YOu deserved the win because of your great experience of Lippi and a good play. Well, and you had the last luck needed to get this done b4 penalties.
NOW GO AND GET THAT DAMN CUP FOR THE SAKE OF GERMAN-ITALIAN FRIENDSHIP!! (AND THE PIZZA!! )
Great Fight, germany, no one expected us that far in the tournament, and this is only the beginning
I personally saw a thrilling game, couldnt get up of my chair, was cheering, screaming everything.. and OMG, what an ET... In the end... a country in sadness... but also proud and HAPPY about that great worldcup, and because that loss wasnt cheated or anything. It was a fair game with two great fighting teams! To be the unluckier team, or the a bit uncooler team maybe, isnt that bad. Now we bring this Worldcup to a great end with a great party, the world will never forget!
ZIZOUUUUU!!! J'adore zidane. What a great game by him, perfect finish of Henry. I honestly dont know, who'll win semis, cause Portugal will be back with Deco. I personally hope for a final France vs Germany (italy will loose against us, that's fact of this years championship, I just state that now ), I love France, i love that team, the players, and I know our team can beat them
Good game, FRANCE! byebye Brazil, I am really disapointed by the play they did. It was boring and they deserved to loose today with that play. It is right, that robinho and cicinho were the only ones doing at least something - besides the diver and hand-player ronaldo. What an ashaming game by the best scorer of all times in the worldcups... He should have checked Zidane, to see, how an "old" man can rock on the field!
Well, some argentinian players started to kick and slap, and therefor one of them got a red card. That was a display of not very fair sportsmanship.
About the game: I think, the decision in penalties was luck... and Lehmann Argentina had only one chance, and made a goal. Else they played great combinations but didnt quite made it to the goal. On the other side, germany was too carefull in the first 50-60 mins. And when Argentina scored, they kind of "woke up".
The referee was imho very good, there wasnt any big bad decision, some yellow cards on both sides which were too strong imho, but all in all good work by ref.
My personal opinion: We saw actually a great tactical game from both sides on the highest level of football, where the slightest mistakes were punished immediately. Thank you Argentina, for showing great football in this WC, but now it's our turn
OK, quarterfinals up on the way, here my speculations:
Argentina - Germany: 0-2
italy - ukraine: 1-0 (goal in 5th minute by penalty. after that we see "great" defensive football)
england - portugal: 1-2 (sry england, but it'll be too hot again for you )
brazil - france: 4-5 in penalties. One of the best matches, and I honestly simply hope, France will win...
Why I didnt comment on argentina-germany? Well, we simply need some cornerkicks and freekicks. Our players are way taller, that'll make it.
LOL. Sorry, but that's due to lack of interest of FILSCA into LFS: There are tools like that sonce YEARS. Upload and automatic race results were done already 2 years ago by the LFS Endu League, and is also used by ESL since YEARS.
