No, no. He think's RIGHT!
It'd be nice to think that the team that beat England has at least the decency to see the whole thing through. |

couldnt give a fuck if its the team that beat England or not - and certainly wouldnt be influenced by their participation or lack of it in an overseas conflict.
all irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. Zidane's my favourite player of this generation and he's retiring after this is over and Henry is possibly the best player in the world at present. Which is why I want France to win it. Plus the fact that, whilst they maybe havent been the most outstanding side in the tournament, of the three who are left theyve been the most enjoyable to watch.
If you want omens, the last time the Stones' Euro tour coincided with the World Cup was in 1998. My first show of the tour was in Paris, where the final had been played 2 weeks earlier. This year, my first show is in Berlin, 2 weeks after the final is played there. The winners in 1998 were France. Maybe history will repeat itself.
Of course, another way of looking at it is that when Italy last won the World Cup, in 1982, the Stones were there to play concerts at the time - and the MC was one of the Italian players, Claudio Gentile. This year, the band's first concert after the final is also in Italy.
Ps Alex - technically speaking, the last team to actually 'beat' England were Northern Ireland.

We brazilians have a selfish reason to be Portugal now: we want Felipe Scolari to show Parreira how is suposed to be.
Parreira, you mothefucker....
Fuck off these "europeans" (please donīt misunderstand me)pop-stars "players" we saw against France, in 2010 we want some real brazilians ones!
Go Scolari, Go! |

No, if truth be told, I'm neutral. I just want to watch a great game of football. With the likes of Ronaldo, Zidane and Henry on the pitch, one would hope we have a great chance of that. |

Besides, France gave the world Exile on Main Street, still the Stones just cancelled a show in Paris. In other words, god owes us a big-ass compensation. Go frogs!

Yes, I want to see you French take it all. Your country deserves a World Cup celebration to unify citizens--if just for a little while--considering your social upheavals of the last year.
Promise me you'll keep the celebration safe. Promise! |

Congrats to France. If Italy couldn't beat the US with a man advantage no way will they beat France. |
|

Italy's appearance in the final just shows what a great result that was for the US, actually. The only team in the tournament to stop them winning - and doing so with a man short.
Both Italy and France have peaked in time for the final. Theres really nothing between them

Portugal 0-1 France
Zidane celebrates with his team-mates after the winning penalty
France booked a World Cup final spot against Italy after Zinedine Zidane's first-half penalty earned victory over a disappointing Portugal in Munich.
Zidane struck coolly past Ricardo on 33 minutes after Thierry Henry was tripped inside the box by Ricardo Carvalho.
Henry saw another shot trickle wide and Franck Ribery forced Ricardo to save.
Luis Figo and Deco saw shots saved by Fabien Barthez and Figo nodded over late on, but France stayed in control and thoroughly deserved their win.
Raymond Domenech's side will now play Italy in the final in Berlin on Sunday at 1900 BST.
The final will be Zidane's last game before he retires from professional football and is a chance to win his second World Cup after the 1998 triumph on home soil.
Zidane's influence on proceedings was not quite as substantial as in the previous rounds against Spain or Brazil, but apart from a lively start Portugal rarely looked like ending their French curse.
They have not beaten France since 1975 and have still never beaten them in a major competition.
But Luiz Felipe Scolari - who lost his 100% record as a coach at World Cup finals - saw his side begin well, with Deco and Figo both forcing saves from Fabien Barthez with low 20-yard drives.
Cristiano Ronaldo was being roundly booed every time he touched the ball after his histrionics against England, but he was in fine form and twice had shots blocked as he surged at the French defence.
Having made a slow start, Domenech's side clinically took the lead just after the half hour mark.
Zidane's first-half penalty nestles in the back of Ricardo's net
Henry turned exquisitely just inside the area and was brought down by Carvalho, Zidane stepping up to decisively strike the penalty past Ricardo, who managed to get a hand on it.
Ronaldo tried to win a spot-kick of his own moments later, but his theatrical dive under the slightest challenge from Willy Sagnol was ignored by referee Jorge Larrionda.
Henry had a chance straight after the restart to double the lead, but after twisting and turning in the box his shot squirmed under Ricardo and out for a corner.
Portugal looked far from threatening with the out-of-sorts Pauleta on his own up front and Ricardo had to save Ribery's drive as France stayed in control.
The second half was a dire affair, scrappy and lacking any real creativity - it suited the French down to a tee because they never let Portugal back into the game.
Their best chance was down to Barthez. He bizarrely parried a Ronaldo free-kick into the air but from six yards Figo could only head the rebound over.
Figo and his team-mates tired badly and they simply could not muster a late rally to provide the French with any sort of threat.
Scolari furiously marched onto the pitch at the final whistle to remonstrate with referee Larrionda, but had little reason to complain.
The 57-year-old, who had won 12 World Cup games in a row as coach of Brazil and Portugal, was finally left to suffer the bitter taste of defeat.

1990 was the absolute pits. Funny but 2 weeks ago people were talking about this as being one of the best ever. The knockout stages have been less exciting however, but still some good ones (France/Brazil, Argentina/Mexico, France/Spain.) |

thanks Meg,Max, and all my pals for your kind words!!
we did an average game and the penalty was very strange.
Portuguese got a great faculty to fall , this Ronaldo is thiner than the other but what a comedian!
Hopefully, the young Thuram did a great performance!!
IMHO Italy got the best team and are the fav for the final game.It s also the revenge of the Euro 2000, and I m sure it will be very very difficult for us to win.
the key of the game will be the match in the match between Pirlo and Vieira.
cheers to you all, I m having my fifth coffee this morning, I ve celebrate the victory with a destroying weed so I got to wake up!!
