Awww, Cristiano Ronaldo. <33 He's such a GIRL.
Anyways, the World Cup seems to be boring since It's so obvious that Germany is gonna win~ >_<;

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't a girl, he has skill and pace. he is a very talented player.
I think that France will win world cup, after the way I saw how they played brazil very well. If France keeps that good performance up they will win the world cup for sure.

I can't believe Brazil lost...my whole family thought they were going to win the cup. XD
Anyway, I think it'll be cool if Germany wins. They're hosting it, so I just thought it might be. XD

Well, there goes Germany, I wanted to see some penalty kicks! XD
It must feel pretty bad losing at the very end of a game, Italy did a good job though. Now Italy is off to the finals and Germany will play for third place, I think they'll win third BTW against whoever it might be. France and Portugal tomorrow, I don't really care who wins.

*sigh* If Brazil was there, the games would be much more enjoyed. Now no one seems to enjoy the WC anymore... or maybe it's just me that thinks that. xD;
Other then that, I'm so happy that Italy won. <3 Between France and Portugal... I say Portugal. =)
Btw, I just saw a Brazillian bracelet-thingy thrown in the grass. ._.

Yeah, from the start of the game I thought it would end in PKs, then Germany just kinda...fell apart. That second goal was hard to watch, it looked like the Italian players just walked up to the goal. For some reason I thought it wasn't going to be counted or something.Samurai X said:
For tomorrow's game, I want Portugal to win.

They fell apart at the worst time possible too, they just had to hold on for 2-3 minutes and they would've went to PKs. At the very beginning of the WC I chose two teams that I thought would win, my choices were Brazil and Germany, my predictions were off as you can see. Now that my original choices are gone I really don't have a preffered team although I hope Germany wins third.Blue said:

Most of my choices were gone by the second round. I wanted Portugal to win today, but as usual, France got the win thanks to Thierry "diving is for women" Henry. So it'll be an Italy v France final, hope Portugal can at least get third place now. Kinda shocked me to hear all those boos going to Ronaldo.Samurai X said:
This World Cup has sucked, nowhere near as good as 2002. Hell, the best match of this one came in round 2. Oh well, guess I'll go for Italy to win now.

Portugal played better, I thought so. I think Italy is going to win the cup now, a very good defense will get them the win. It's Italy's game to lose and France's to win. I was surprised too, he's a good player but the people wanted a goal.Blue said:
It has sucked, the best match has been Mexico vs Argentina to me.

I heard that his club might release him because of that incident with Rooney in the quarter final, who is his Manchester team-mate, instead of Rooney. He said Real Madrid is interested, that's going to be interesting.Blue said:
What do you people think of the scandal with Italy and the possible match fixing?

I doubt it, he's said that both he and Rooney are still friends and talked to each other and that Rooney wished him well just before Portugal v France.Samurai X said:
It's stupid to think at this level there could be match fixing...then again, look at the refs they have.
Random note: This is the reason this World Cup isn't nearly as good as the last one. I know it sounds biased and all since I'm a huge supporter of South Korea, but the last World Cup really changed things up. Two power houses, two new teams in the final four, it made for a great cup, and all the stuff that happened after was pretty nice too. Even if 2002 had its fair share of bad calls, so has this one. Probably worse here actually, it's a shame to see what happened to the Australian team. Oh well, hope for something as good in 2010, this year was just a disappointment and the definition of boring, even '98 was better than this.

Yeah, I found out about that too late though.
Blue said:
I just hope that isn't true, if it is I wouldn't know what to think, I mean they have played very well but this would make me lose respect.
Blue said:
That is very true, the mathes in this World Cup have had too many fouls and too much poor sportsmanship, this madde some of the matches ugly in terms of gameplay. Besides the fair play, the matches in this World Cup havn't been very exciting either.

If there's anyone I lost respect for this year, it's for FIFA as a whole. They govern the single biggest sport in the world, yet they're the weakest governing body of all sports. Would it kill them to start integrating technology into the way refs make calls? Would it kill them to hire good refs? FIFA needs to shape up, and they've needed to for a while. They don't do anything about bad calls anymore.Samurai X said:
Every cup is going to have its fair share of fouls, like 2002, probably one of the most controversial WCs ever, but I still consider it to be the best. In terms of game play, this wasn't even close to being the best year. France and Italy shouldn't be in the final, both of their teams heavily relied on diving. Brazil came too far for a team that seemed like they didn't even care, a lot of good teams were sent home too early. I really thought Australia had the potential to be one of the best teams this year, but they were sent home early on a bogus call.
