Hah, Been supporting France since day one of the World Cup.
Gah - we went out to those cheating Portuguese... *mutters darkly*
I know I'm in a very biased position here, but there is no way we deserved to lose that one. We played like crap for the first 4 games, then put in a brave performance with one of our players sent off against Portugal, and lost. Oh, the irony.
Also, Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be hounded out of the country when he comes back to play for Man Utd. He got Rooney sent off and scored the penalty that put us out. I went on 'punch-a-celeb.com' and he's been punched 114,000 times in the last week - the next person on the list has been punched only a couple of thousand times - which kind of shows how pissed off England fans are with him. Smug little git.
Also, the Portuguese players were performing theatrical dives all evening - Maniche was touched on the shoulder by Peter Crouch and fell over, holding his face.
Mind you, Rooney over-reacted and after looking at the replays, he definitely stepped on Carvalho's balls on purpose.
I hope Portugal get thrashed in the Semis.
GERMANY FOR THE CUP!!

I think Rooney is like a distant uncle of mine or something like that, because I know I heard my uncle say something like that. Or is Rooney just a common name in Ireland/England ;\
I think France is going to win now, and Germany will play pretty bad

Rofl - I just checked out Cristiano Ronaldo's wikipedia entry, and it's already been locked due to countless vandalism attempts since the game.
Rooney did deserve that Red Card, maybe not for stepping on the other guy's balls, that's just a biased opinion to be let in hand of the referee, but he did overreact and started threatening everyone, that's definetly a Red Card.

Too bad, Germany lost to Italy 2-0. I though it was going to go to a shootout and German being crazy good with penatly kicks would win. Funny thing is Germany still has yet to beat Italy in the World Cup. Germany was lucky throughout the whole game though especially during extra time (excluding the goals) Italy hit the post 2 times consecutively. Oh well, I wanted Germany to win but I guess it is going to be Italy vs France...
And yes Rooney deserved that card. Good goalkeeping by Ricardo at penalty kicks.
I thought it would just go down to a shootout, so I changed the channel around the 20th minute of extra time, next thing I know Italy wins 2-0. I'll be rooting for Italy. So far USA is the only team that's played Italy and hasn't lost to them.
I've been rooting for the french this whole time and looks like they just might do it

.
omg South Korea lost to the swiss cuz the official was on the Swiss sides. He gave em like 4022342 free kicks for small reasons, and when Swiss did that the Ref dint call it.
I'm surprised that Brazil was knocked off; I thought that nobody would match its power.
I hope france doesn't win again.
It looks like they have a good chance though - Zinedine Zidane is on top form at the moment, right at the end of his career.
I'm glad he put that penalty past Ricardo - an incredible goalkeeper.
I'm glad Portugal are out - bloody cheats. Did you see their conduct in that game? Their players must have dived more than 10 times. It's outrageous behaviour.

True. But I still was for Portugal - they never had the World Cup in their hands if I am correct... Or maybe they just don't deserve it ?...

Nobody saw yesterday's Italy vs Australia? You should all shoot yourselves if you didn't.
Best game I've ever seen in a while. There were lots of moments that you literally screamed "GOAL!" but the ball missed by a whisper, the goalie did the impossible or just something wierd.
Italy won 1-0 with a penalty kick in the very last second. Now that's closest game ever, a penalty kick awarded to you at the last second.

Thank you, thank you.
Bold = My country
I can't believe germany lost -.-. I was rooting but it wasn't working. Why italy is doing soooo good. I'm glad germany at least for third though.
Italy obviously isnt that good if they were 0-0 with australia and had to win it in a penelty kick.
That doesn't mean anything just because they almost drew Australia.
They did play a lot better than the French in the first half and I thought they would win without a penatly shoot out.
Germany lost to Italy because of lack of experience, they've only been playing for a year toghether, maybe less while the Italian team is highly experienced.
lol, france lost, anyone see the zidane headbutt? that was hillarious, but ya italy won...
My biggest surpise was Zidane. Ha Ha Ha, He head butted, But lost, Italy Pwnz, i hope England, Germany, Or USA Wins next time.
Yeah, what a way for Zidane to retire. He still got the Player of the Tournament award though.
Lots of stories have been circulating about why he headbutted Materazzi, but they all seem to be like this:
*Materazzi grabs Zidane's shirt so he can't get the ball*
Zidane: 'If you want my shirt so badly, you can have it after the game.'
Materazzi: 'I'd rather have your sister - she's such a whore.'
*Zidane headbutts Materazzi*
Other reports said that Materazzi had called Zidane a 'son of a whore,' or even 'son of a terrorist whore.' This is presumably because Zidane is of Algerian ancestry.

The "sister" one sounds better

. Idc what Materazzi says it was sooooooo hilarious.
Total BS about how Germany lost to Italy and even more BS how zidane cost the world cup by taking a header into the italian futboll player.
By the way cloud, i thought u were canadian not austrailian

Those who can read by the movements of the lips say that he called his sister a wrore, and his mother a terrorist, or was it the other way araound...
