speeeeeeedie Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Knowing that 5 of the French side, including Zidane, are on yellow's I have a sneaky feeling that the Portuguese will be on fine form trying to get them all banned. This may backfire, if a player is going to miss the WC final they have no reason to hold back. France 4-6 Portugal (bookings) At least 1 sending off. No bitterness here.
3rdpillar Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 France 0 portugal 1 wintin 90mins. 2 red cards 6 bookings
Oklahoma Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Please explain why would Portugal benifit from Zidane and the others getting yellow cards. I think Italy would be the lucky team. Portugal as a similar problem but I don't care if Figo or any other gets the second yellow card and a ban for the next game as long as we win it today.
Shevchenko Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Pleeeeeeeeeeeease GOD let France win this. If there's any justice in the world...
Ronin Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Not fussed who wins this one, just as long as Italy wins the final. Although I suppose beating France in Final will be good to avenge the Euro 2000 final when Italy lost on the bloomin' Golden Goal.
Oklahoma Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 We lost the semis in Euro 2000 in a penalty 3 minutes from the end of extra time.
Ianrally Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Pleeeeeeeeeeeease GOD let France win this. If there's any justice in the world... Rest easy Shev old chap. France 3 Potugal 1 Christina carried off after being stamped in the privates. Could not be treated by the physio as he couldn't find any.
Ronin Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 We lost the semis in Euro 2000 in a penalty 3 minutes from the end of extra time. Wanted Portugal to beat France in that game, pesky French.
cn_barlow Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 i want a france victory and something very bad to happen to Ronaldo
grizfoot Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 C'mon France France 6-0 Portugal Henry (2) Zidane (3) Cristina OG I'm being french for one night
RoyRover Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I'm going for a France win. I've been quite lucky with my predictions from the quarter finals and semi finals, the only one I've gotten wrong so far is Argentina and Germany. Even though I want France to win, I always have mixed feelings when it comes to this stage of the competition. I've always liked France and have spent all my summers apart from one in France. Added to this I'd love to see great players like Thuram and Zidane go out with another World Cup medal. However, at the same time I'd like to see a player like Figo win something with his national team to make up for Euro 2004. Moreover, players like Cannavaro and Zambrotta deserve a World Cup. In the end, only won team can win it and I think France will tonight.
Rover4ever Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I'm going for a 1-0 France win. Just cant see the Portugese scoring against the French defence.
eddiewac Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Ronaldo with arguably the worst dive I have seen since Diouf's trying to win a penalty
Ozz Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Old Riverdance is getting pelters from the crowd!! Class!
Tango Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Stark contrast to yesterday, lame game of football with the Portugese doing their reputation no favours whatsoever! Referee's been pants. How have Portugal got this far with the two worst strikers in the competition in Pauleta and Postiga?
Rover4ever Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Deco has been absolutely invisible. Henry's dive was pathetic, and overall a poor game with little creativity by either side
tcj_jones Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Ha! Please tell me I saw correctly and Ronaldo was crying!
Mr. E Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Ha! Please tell me I saw correctly and Ronaldo was crying! wouldn't be the first time...but pics anyone ? bye bye you scum. Viva la France !
rover6 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 For all the criticism Pauleta has received, just look as his goal record. He's a poacher (like Owen) and cannot play on his own up front, he needed help and never got it from Deco. England will probably not get as good a chance to win the World Cup in the near future as they had in this tournament. Apart from the Argies, none of the teams were that good.
