What the fuck are Spain doing playing Raul, Torres AND Villa?

not that differnet if you substitute garcia for raul which is what they did at the start. i'm more concerned about the absence of senna.

Probably the most polished display of football so far. Going to be interesting once the deadlock is broken.

France are going down. They are going to have to pull up the blanket and expose their toes

 

[Fong]

Its broken now penalty, looked like a decent decision to me, wasn't going anywhere, but was still fouled in the box.

 

[fishfingerer]

Torres - your hairdo is unacceptable.

 

[zed]

It is hard to believe that Spain won't bottle it again.

I have been trained to work to principle that the best predictor of future performance is past performance.

I hope they don't though. Spain deserve a decent run.

 

[Fong]

YES!

Go on France!

 

[xenon]

Should he have given that last penalty?
Glad he didn't though. Keeps it poised nicely.

 

[jammer]

3-2 spain..
hopefully

 

[editor]

It's a cracker!

I'm enjoying this game so much it's helping erase the dreadful memory of Switzerland vs the Ukraine. And England vs Ecuador. And England vs Trinidad...

 

[wiskey]

i'm getting into this now

 

[Fong]

Good to see France using Spain's tactics against by moving up a great deal, was funny but I think that was one of the first offsides I seen given against Spain, tho there may have been 1 or 2 others, when you consider about 10 against France.

 

[xenon]

Good work Sanyol.

 

[Fong]

Pretty good end to end stuff too, just when you think one side has the upper hand the other side seems to be knocking at the door for awhile.

I'm really looking forward to this one after some lame (except for the Argentina-mexico) second round matches. Would like to see Spain really hammer France... I thought they were very overrated and lucky to win in 1998... Plus it's astounding that a footballing nation as major as Spain has never even made the final

I want to read this thread, but I plan on watching this game later tonight.

 

[Fong]

I wish there was a little red button that would slap the commentators.

"There hasn't been a card yet?"

"No it's lovely after the other night"

There hadn't been a cardable offence... thats it, the moment there was, a pointless late challenge by Viera, there was a card, just like there should be.

France goal

 

[Fong]

Oh dear, looks like Spain might not be making it to another Semi-Final.

 

[potential]

arse

 

[Idaho]

Looks like Spain's moment to choke...

 

[Termite Man]

France goal

wasn't that articulte of me

 

[T & P]

Until now I had thought Henry was not only a superb player but also an honest one.

I've just discovered that he's in fact a cheating cunt

 

[potential]

fernando torres is going to man u, yeah born loser

 

[editor]

I've gone off Thierry Henri after he tried to con the ref into sending off the defender.

 

[William of Walworth]

I really wanted Spain to win

I think they've blown it though ...

 

[Fong]

It's all over for spain.

Tho I did think that was offside to be fair to spain.

 

[jonnyd1978]

C'est trois!

 

[William of Walworth]

Zidane!!!
