dbchoong Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 This should be a good game. Hope it doesn't go to extra time. I want to sleep... ;D
dbchoong Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 Much better tempo to this game than Germany-Italy. 35th min and France is 1 goal up. ZZ makes shooting penalties against Ricardo look so simple. Lampard and gang, please learn. ;D
Spunky Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 only Carra lah coz he was on the field only for a few mins. the rest were dead tired liao! ;D
sonofdbn Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 France played well in the first half, but once they had the lead they almost gave up trying to attack. Italy look like a much stronger team and would be my pick for the final. Portugal failed to mount many constructive attacks and often it looked like their only strategy was to dive when they got into the box. I felt the penalty decision was marginal. Henry made the most of it, but at the same time I think Carvalho knew what he was doing when he left his leg sticking out.
Spunky Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I got up just in time for the penalty! ;D...went back to sleep at halftime...heard it was rather boring thereafter...heng ah! didn't waste my time! I think Italy should win this time! I cannot see anyone breaking their defence down. Buffon alone is at least 2 grades higher than Barthez. How many times did Barthez spill a shot in this match? But then again, it may be like this match, Henry used to draw a foul... ;)
silencer13 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I'm just glad to see C.Ronaldo out of the competition. France was very lucky though.... felt they didnt deserve the win nor the penalty. Most of the French players were playing badly too.
