^^ I have no idea, because I have decided to completely ignore that this game is available in English.

The Mexicans were huge Portugal homers in the pregame...then they talked about the pregame music for five minutes.

ATTN: Director -- I don't want to see Figo's junk.

I'm loving the boos Ronaldo gets everytime he touches it. His dive attempt in the box was garbage

7/5/2006 3:56:18 PM

will be a final for the ages if France wins this game.

7/5/2006 4:01:48 PM

wtf Barthez..

7/5/2006 4:36:38 PM

barthez is so lucky

7/5/2006 4:36:39 PM

henry is non-existant in this game

ronaldo is gonna score this game

7/5/2006 4:39:03 PM

People, this is classic Barthez. He gave up a similarly terrible rebound on the very first shot of the game.

He's a lucky frog, yes, but he's always been a lucky frog.

7/5/2006 4:39:09 PM

moby ftw

7/5/2006 4:40:24 PM

you cant ask for many more chances than that...

7/5/2006 4:52:06 PM

Nothin' says lovin' like pulling the goalie in soccer.

LES BLEUS!!!

All that talking up I did of Zidane, and I still captained Vieira. Damn you, soccer gods!

7/5/2006 4:53:09 PM

ok. this is why soccer needs a clock that everyone can see.

7/5/2006 4:54:09 PM

Very exciting game, still think the PK call was a bit chippy and probably shouldnt have been called, but great action up and down the field at least

7/5/2006 4:56:28 PM

^^ No, bye.

7/5/2006 4:57:29 PM

I'm pulling for the Italians!

7/5/2006 4:58:05 PM

maybe i misunderstood what happened at the end there. i was watching it on spanish television. can you give me a recap of the last ten seconds or so?

7/5/2006 4:58:35 PM

Portugal got a corner and pulled Ricardo up so they'd have all 11 men available to head the corner. They got a bunch of chances, then France cleared, then Portugal got the ball back and attacked but were offside, then the ball went back and forth again and Barthez grabbed the final ball.

7/5/2006 5:00:21 PM

ok. i missed the offside. that's all i wanted to hear

7/5/2006 5:03:13 PM

The first run was the offside one, too (the one Barthez stopped), so there's no goal controversy or anything.

7/5/2006 5:04:47 PM

Allez les Bleus, yo

7/5/2006 5:06:37 PM

azzurris will win, bordel.

7/5/2006 5:11:45 PM

7/5/2006 5:13:00 PM

fuck italy

7/5/2006 5:22:29 PM

fuck italy

7/5/2006 5:29:31 PM

7/5/2006 5:30:30 PM

fuck italy

7/5/2006 5:30:39 PM

africa put a whoopin on portugal
whoooohoo

7/5/2006 5:39:02 PM

7/5/2006 5:45:55 PM

never thought I would say this, but I'm totally goin for France

7/5/2006 6:23:57 PM

well vinylbandit...i guess you are the champ

7/5/2006 8:13:03 PM

italy will win

7/5/2006 8:43:24 PM

I hope France wins... just look at their road to the finals. If they win, they will have beaten Spain, Brazil, Portugal, and Italy in consecutive games. That's awesome

..then again, I won't be disappointed if Italy wins, they've looked really good in the last couple of games. Only giving up one goal the entire World Cup, on a fluke own goal no less, is amazing.

7/5/2006 8:56:10 PM

fuck Italy

Go France

7/6/2006 9:47:53 AM

'cept i thought they would be beating Brazil not France

7/6/2006 9:58:46 AM

i had italy vs. holland with italy winning...i remember being one of the few who actually came out and guaranteed that italy would win before the cup...i also remember many people bashing me when i said that

7/6/2006 7:56:17 PM

News from Germany: Oliver Kahn will start in goal against Portugal on Saturday.

7/7/2006 4:55:42 AM

I wish Portugal was going to win today...

but i just dont see that happening, unfortunately.

7/8/2006 2:37:49 AM
