I wasn't posting in this thread for couple of days. Since then, we saw great games and dusk of 'favourites'. Arrogant teams are going home. Germany is the last one of them and I hope they won't win this tournament athough they play great under Klinsman leadership...
I'm glad that two teams which I'm long time 'supporter' are in the semi finals - France & Portugal. Zidane proved once more that he's the best player in the last 15 years and one of the best in the history. On the pitch he outshined all Brazilian so-called 'magicans'. Anyone saw Ronaldinho? Zidane deserves another crown. His play is poetry! Allez France!
Scolari is probably the best coach on the planet, besides Hiddink, and he stormed Eriksson once again. Personally, he ended eternal English dream. He did it in 2002, 2004 and 2006. I guess that people in FA are satisfied with their choice of Eriksson successor. Once again, originators of the game, are stopped. I guess, they don't have referees from Russia which will concede goals like they did in 1966 (that Hurst 'goal'). Their greatest hope = the biggest animal...
Argentina & Brazil players should talk less because this tournament is in the Europe. It's quite different here... Argentinians don't know how to stay great when they loose. They are disgrace for the game. Brazilians can't stand the pressure and they don't have a 'G' from the game. Their arrogance is punished in a rightful way - by the French medicine...
Never write off the Italians. I think that everybody knows that... Defensive or offensive, with large amount of luck, they can do anything...
Great finish of the World Cup which was historical for the national team of my own country. We proudly took the last place...
