      Haha, we get to see Zidane one more time!!
      You want to see that again?

      France perform like that again and I'll actually support Italy.

        Amazing Game today- 15 more seconds and it would have been a draw.

        I think I might end up having to support France in this one. Italy has really disgusted me with their play style, everytime someone touches them they jump to the ground and start rolling around.

          Mediocre game, but good results.

          The French team didn't show the spirit it used to show against the Spanish or the Brazilians (as expected: we suck when we think we're due to win), but it still worked.

          I hope we'll see a much more aggressive and imaginative game against Italy. I think it'll happen: the Italians have shown that they have a great skill with the ball, and it's definitely not an obvious win for France (just like Spain and Brazil were difficult matches).

          Besides, it'll be the last game for Zidane and for several other old timers, no matter the outcome. I'm sure they'll give everything they can.

                    It'd be nice to see him lift the trophy and finish off a fine career at the same time.

                      That's what I hope. But also don't forget about Thuram and Makélélé, who had a good performance during the entire World Cup. The victory against Portugal is largely thanks to Thuram-Gallas' defensive efficiency

                        Don't forget Ribery, Spiff.

                        Henry got his goal as well... and forced a crucial penalty.

                          Not so much in this WC but Thuram was probably the best attacking defender I've ever seen. Was it Parma where he had is heyday? I remember he was linked with ManU in the late 90's, I was made up when he didn't sign for them?

                              I think he needs to eat more meat, or something, because every time he nears the box, his legs get so weak, and he can't even support himself.

                                The German announcer said, that there are "strange gravity anomalies" in the French penalty box.

                                Perhaps we should investigate this.
