<p>ah christiano. i love you.</p>
<p>And England loses! YES!</p>
<p>Ronaldo…the man. The Whale comes through. Beckham departs crying and the door opened for Portugal. What a game. Now for Formula 1 roster. What a thriller.</p>
<p>"Ronaldo…the man. The Whale comes through. "</p>
<p>uhhh wrong ronaldo. this ronaldo has like one fourth the body fat of the other hahaha</p>
<p>hey, I know it was just that I had grown sick of all the Ronaldo doubters.</p>
<p>henry came out of nowhere on that one. wow</p>
<p>My two top picks Brazil and England outta the cup. This is dead depressing :(. Oh well, at least my hedging worked and I actually made some cash lol.</p>
<p>Such close games. England v. Portugal at the PK and then Brazil had quite a few chances after the 80th minute.</p>
<p>Zidane/Henry playing together is a compensation at least.</p>
<p>Brazil would’ve been my pick to win this year’s World Cup; I figured France would be a sinch for them.</p>
<p>My picks: Germany defeats Italy, and France edges out Portugal on PKs.</p>
<p>oh zizou. he is too too brilliant.</p>
<p>france for fifa 2006!</p>
<p>wow it seems that i didnt focus my eyes well on portugal. outstanding work by them. never understimate your opponents because they are soo close of getting to the final and win the world cup. that would change the face of international soccer wouldnt it???</p>
<p>now, i gotta admit that frank lampard really disappointmd me. not a single goal. he sure had lots of shots on goal but if he played like he does at chelsea, history wouldve been different in this world cup</p>
<p>lampard, gerrard and rooney were all expected to do great things for england this year…and all failed to deliver. england was my team, they let me down. zidane is my player, he hasn’t so far :)</p>
<p>fingers crossed for the rest of the cup</p>
<p>This is going to be CAKE for Germany</p>
<p>CAKE.</p>
<p>germany vs france finals</p>
<p>but there is no way that germany have a better team than france. you need superstars to throw the game in your favour when you get to this stage and the teams are well-matched. france, as they proved today, do have a star. germany, really, don’t. as much as i love ballack, he’s no zizou.</p>
<p>If France had Cisse, I would be at least a tiny bit worried. Without him, i’m not worried at all. I mean, they are FRENCH afterall.</p>
<p>i do miss cisse :(</p>
<p>but honestly. no comparison. zidane is zidane. ronaldinho couldn’t take him today, i really don’t see the likes of neuville or odonka doing it on the 9th.</p>
<p>i hope i’m not jinxing france…REMOVE ALL BAD ENERGY AND VOODOO-NESS.</p>
<p>Barthez is a sieve.</p>
<p>I think C.Ronaldo and Figo will give them problems.</p>
<p>The Brazilians are a collection of amazing talents, they arent an amazing team.</p>
<p>France hasnt seen an amazing team yet. They will with the Germans, if they beat Portugal.</p>
<p>i really don’t see how you can say brazil isn’t an amazing team. just simple world records, world cups won, etc etc make that a void statement. france just played better 
</p>
<p>and france is starting to come together as a team in a way they didn’t earlier. zizou is coming into his magic. wait and see :)</p>
<p>“If France had Cisse, I would be at least a tiny bit worried. Without him, i’m not worried at all. I mean, they are FRENCH afterall.”</p>
<p>what kind of ignorant trash is this?</p>
<p>Brazil’s past has no barring on how well the current team (didn’t) play.</p>
<p>I see I riled someone up with my french joke as well.</p>
<p>Score one for me.</p>
<p>YES YES YES!!!
PORTUGAL!!!
Portugal!!
I cant believe my fav team are actually in the semis!
I felt bad for the english when I finished celebrating… poor gerrard. lampard… all those opportunities and no goals…</p>
<p>I was extremely shocked that the French won but it was a good win. Brasil didnt play up to their potential today… they’ve been playing quite weirdly throughout the whole wc06. they played weak: their whole forcefulness, technicallity (?), speedyness… all gone. Weak midfield i think.</p>
<p>I cracked up everytime I saw Henry’s ‘innocent-what did i do?’ look!</p>
