[Strumpet]

<Stops PM correspondence>

Just saw this!


You have n all....



Venez sur la France!

 

[Onket]

COME ON ITALY!

Indeed.

Terry Henry has really fucked me off with his behaviour recently and so I'm edging towards the Italians. Plus a lad I work with, of Italian decent, has bought a fucking brilliant looking full size & weight replica World Cup trophy from ebay, so I hope he gets a goood chance to wave that around later tonight.

Venez sur la France!

Only joking.




I predict 1-1 after 90 mins. Italy to win 2-1 after extra time.


FORZA AZZURRI!

That is in about 10 mins, right?


Yes thats right, got a bit confused with the time then

 

[Dandred]

Well I don't really care who will win, but I hope this will be a good game.

I think one goal either way will seperate them at the end.

 

[Velouria]

oooh, it's starting.

The French team look worried

 

[david dissadent]

The flags on the stadium they keep showing. Italian German Japanese and French.

The axis plus Vichy France. What are the Berliners telling the world.

 

[Dandred]

Henry down already, ran into a brick wall

 

[Dandred]

Penalty oh my god this might be quite a game!!


Goal!!!! Italy have to work hard now

 

[Maltin]

What a cooly taken penalty.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Penalty oh my god this might be quite a game!!

It was a dive as well.

 

[leftistangel]

Blatant dive, like in the semi-final. Zidane lucky to get away with that.

 

[tangerinedream]

Well, perfect start for the neutral perspective isn't it?

Is it just me or does this pitch look small? - I'm sure I read that all the pitches at the WC are uniform size

Materatzi had a wobbly old start...

 

[Nemo]

Allez les bleus!

 

[Dandred]

Well, perfect start for the neutral perspective isn't it?

It certainly is

He was trying to say 'come on France'. The problems with word for word translations.

Whilst both players were theatrical in their falling over, I believe they were both fouled and the referees made the correct decisions.

If thats how fouls are now defined then the art of defending has been abolished. Safer for defenders to just stand aside when faced with an opposing player in the penalty area, which is exactly what the Italian players did.

 

[maes]

Yay france

 

[Dandred]

Itay seem lost trying to get into an attacking game.......

 

[tangerinedream]

Have it!!!

 

[leftistangel]

Goal for italy.

Justice has been done.

 

[Nemo]

2-1.

 

[Dandred]

1-1 this is getting better and better......


I have to eat my words

 

[Dandred]

2-1.

Is my streaming that late?????


No, you lie!!!

 

[Maltin]

I imagine that being tripped up (as in Henry's case) has always been a foul.

Tonight's one may have been deemed an acceptable challenge in the past.

I wouldn't say that either incidents involved textbook defending.

 

[Nemo]

Is my streaming that late?????

No. Just an embarassing typo when I should have put 1-1.
