WTF? No thread yet? Alright then.


I hope France wins because I love Zidane so much, but eh.

Brazil 3:2.


No poll - kickoff in 5 minutes, no point really (because I would have closed it at kickoff)

Brazil 3:0 - revenge for 1998. France have Viera sent off 10 minutes befor half time. :eek:

Yea, I don't think Viera will last the full 90.
Brazil win it 4-2 in penalty shootout.

So hard to pick ...

The Frog-eaters to lose in extra time. 3-2 to Brazil.

Oh, the referee is the same one which crashed Australia out and handed the game to Italy.

Brazil 2- 0. Just because they should.

Wow, an incredibly hot gal that likes football! Triple points to you! Hoping France wins just b/c I dislike teams that win all the time. I think 2-0 Brazil however.

Erm, thanks *blushes*. Lol. :p And word on rooting for the underdog, even if the underdog is one of the traditional soccer greats.

I hope France wins because they'll be easier for Germany to beat.

Erm, thanks *blushes*. Lol. :p And word on rooting for the underdog, even if the underdog is one of the traditional soccer greats.

Well, the only "underdog" that is left is Portugal and I can't root for them since they beat my beloved England squad. Effin Roonaldo!

Brazil is going to loose.

2 vs 1

I think Portugal may well win the World Cup.

I think Portugal may well win the World Cup.

Well they do have a 1 in 4 chance. I just can't root for them. I'm just glad the Sven era is over. Although Macca isn't that much better. Sigh.

France surrenders, game never happens. ;)

They only have a 1 in 4 chance if you take away the team names and call them Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and Team 4.

Brazil 2-0 France

You didn't really just say that in my thread? *glowers & points to door*

Roo? :confused:

They only have a 1 in 4 chance if you take away the team names and call them Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and Team 4.
Exactly.. And also if you assume that each team has an equal chance of winning. Which is silly.

Roo? :confused:I hate French surrender jokes with a passion, so consider yourself slapped. Together with that pat one thread over, it should balance out nicely. :p

Hey, if we didn't have to go over there every World War and kick Germany's Butt it wouldn't be a problem.

France should be more considerate.:p

Exactly.. And also if you assume that each team has an equal chance of winning. Which is silly.

That's basically what I was implying. If I tell you that Team 1, Team 2, Team 3 and Team 4 are in the running to win the WC, you'd tell me that the odds of each team is 1 in 4. If I reveal that said teams are Germany, Western Sahara, American Samoa and Vatican City, you'd be favouring Germany a lot.

What makes you think I didn't enjoy both? :D

Well, that was rather uneventful so far. 0:0 at half time.

Germany would have better odds, but they'd still only have a 1 in 4 chance. And I was saying Portugal have a 1 in 4 chance based purely on the fact that I hope Brazil/France winner makes the American Samoan worst ever defeat look like a close contest.

The only way to get correct odds is to compared every player on every team and compare records. And that's tedious shit.

It took France 4 years to do anything useful in World War I and II.
Brazil turned up late for WWII, the Forces that invaded Italy were a pervisity o nationalities...

On topic er...
ADRIANO!!!

You're an idiot.

Hopefully France will make it out, it'd be funny if Brazil went home in the quarterfinals.

Plus, you see what you started. *rolleyes at everybody not dropping it already*

They might, if the stats mean anything. France has been playing the better of the two, IMO.

Brazil play nothing this half. If don`t change will loose the game.

Go Vatican City!! :D :D

LOL! That'd be the best game after this one:

GERMANY v. GREECE!

braziil will loose

And what if all wars were solved on the sports field?;)

(scrunches down head and puts hands in pockets)
I'm sorry.

well that is what it meant..
Brazil will loose

Then let us raise a toast over some fine Brandy!
Brazil almost once had the power to defeat America...
OR! What if all sports were resolved on the war field? HMMM!?
Like the Aztecs Garland Games/Wars or their Brutal sport similiar to Football.
Or Jousting.
Or the 100 meters but over a minefield and with snipers.

I don't think that worked out too well for either Honduras or El Salavador.

I don't think that worked out too well for either Honduras or El Salavador.

Lol, yeah, I was waiting for that.

Miss Henry has done it! 1-0 to France!

And the possibility of Germany winning this thing has just gotten a whole lot more likely.

I said it I said it!
Germany at $5.50 looked rather tasty!:D

So on the off chance that this one goes to PK's as well, what do you think will be the total increase in the number of heart attacks as a cause of death be? Of course, you could always have one of my smarmy employees who stated earlier, "Why don't they just start the game with PK's and save all the trouble?" Of course, as I'm typing this Henry just scored. It's so cool listening to the Spanish announcers, they sound just like fire engine sirens whenever someone scores.

So, assuming France can hold on to this, what kind of final are we looking at now? Germany-France?

Go France!...

2\ vs they will looose
Brazil is out!!!!!!!!!

Wow, imagine a Germany-France final. It could be like WWII all over again! 12-0 to Germany! :D

So, assuming France can hold on to this, what kind of final are we looking at now? Germany-France?

That would certainly be more entertaining than an Italy-Portugal matchup. In that matchup I think the man of the match should go to the guy who'd stay on his feet the longest.

Wow, imagine a Germany-France final. It could be like WWII all over again! 12-0 to Germany! :D
yeah with chirac as treator,pushing the red button,,fun!!!!!!!!!

Heck i'll mock both sides!

Wipppee!

well I thought they might bring in Adriano but I really thought he'd come in for Chubbs errr I mean Ronaldo.

(scrunches down head and puts hands in pockets)
I'm sorry.Meh, it's okay. *pats* Just don't do it again, m'kay?

i hope that france wins but i have a feeling that brazil is going to come around:(

Meh, it's okay. *pats* Just don't do it again, m'kay?


I'll bet you're stoked at the moment. You can hear the crowd in the background chanting Zizou! Zizou!

CouCou?!!!!!!!!!!

I'll bet you're stoked at the moment. You can hear the crowd in the background chanting Zizou! Zizou!
Yep. :)

The French are running circles around Brazil at the moment.


Although I'm always a sucker for the loser - I'm already starting to feel sorry for Brazil if they really get kicked out, even if they *really* haven't been playing well all throughout the tournament, with the exception of that one second half against I-forgot-whom.

Yep. :)

The powerhouse of football known as Japan. ;) The only person I feel sorry for is Cafu b/c he's like 140 or something.

Awesome - grab the ball and hope for the best. :p

Does that ever beg for comment..... but I'll refrain and let someone else take up the cause. ;)

Hell that was a total dive by ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bastard.

thank God, That would have majorly sucked if that had got in after a freaking dive.

whats with adding time?

OMG Brazil are OUT!!!

Allez Les Bleus!!!!

OMG Brazil are OUT!!!

Congrats!!!

Congrats!!!
Well....I'm actually German, but I'll accept the congrats on behalf of my beloved Zidane. :p

Although I would be quite sad to see him get his ass kicked by us in the final. ;)

ETA:Well, I mean I would be happy, but not for him, obviously. :p

:fluffle: for france:)

Those dastardly European have hijacked the World Cup! :eek:

Well....I'm actually German, but I'll accept the congrats on behalf of my beloved Zidane. :p

Then I'm glad I didn't start singing 10 German bombers. ;) Anyway, things are looking good for Germany at this point. At least we can stop hearing about 6 WCs for Brazil now.

Seriously, though - Brazil is out. As bad as they had been playing - did anyone really expect them to not go into the final?


Well, okay, I did, for one, but I mean really expect them not to?

Congrats!!!
NOW GERMANY?

Those dastardly European have hijacked the World Cup! :eek:
Yay!

*promptly feels bad*


*gets over it* :p

Hell that was a total dive by ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bastard.
nah his foot was clipped...
But the cut he did before that was magic.
Lets talk about that...

Wow see how he bet the defender.

Seriously, though - Brazil is out. As bad as they had been playing - did anyone really expect them to not go into the final?


Well, okay, I did, for one, but I mean really expect them not to?

Well I was actually expecting an Argentina-Brazil final with Argentina winning, but I guess that's a good reason why I shouldn't gamble. Of course, now that Brazil's out I'm just that much more pissed at Wayne Rooney and Sven.

They and you have always had an immoral mortgage on it.

Silly Brazilians...

France is scary

good game and good luck frenchies

You are, what about me. I was sitting here thinking "well at least I don't have to put up with being the England supporter in Brazil when the two meet". Now all Brazil will switch to supporting Portugal, and I don't even have the consolation of not being hassled for being English.

Seriously, though - Brazil is out. As bad as they had been playing - did anyone really expect them to not go into the final?

Yes. A lot of brazilians think it. Whem everybody says Brazil is the best .... Brazil loose. See the previous WC.

Be careful with Portugal. Felipão knows how to make a team win. Not a beautiful game but a winner game.

FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE!!!!!!!111 :eek:

Well you certainly have my condoloences. Meanwhile I'll just continue to rant about it at myspace. =)

Yeah, I had Argentina, too... But Germany for the other one, so I'm still gonna be half right. ;)


They just showed several replays and analyses of the goal (which I had missed becasue I wasn#t in the room).
Hilarious.
If you guys catch the replay again, pay attention to those 4 Brazil players who just stand there on the line and kinda look at the ball without moving even one single inch throughout the whole scene. They just stand there while 5 (!) French players are between them and their goal and are busy scoring.

Insane. Apart from their "scare-factor", there weren't really many things speaking for Brazil this year.

They played a terrible game. France had them beat defensively every single time. They hardly had any shots on goal until the last 10 minutes. France embarassed them.

yeah with chirac as treator,pushing the red button,,fun!!!!!!!!!
HUMMMM!!!!!!

Yes. A lot of brazilians think it.
Really? So are people maybe not even going to be all that terribly shocked/crushed that their team didn't make it?

Be careful with Portugal. Felipãp knows how to make a winner team. Not to play a beautiful game but to play a winner game.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see who'll win that game.

I'd have said Portugal, but the French played REALLY well today. This is actually the first French game of the tournament I've seen, for some strange reason, but as far as I've heard they weren#t quite that good before...

Yes. A lot of brazilians think it. When everybody say Brazil is the best ... Brazil loose. See all the previous WC.

It will be interesting to see what the Brazilian press have to say tomorrow. There will be a lot of "We warned you Perreira" type editorials I think.

How on earth did Perreira leave the team unchanged for so long? They were stationary and idealess. Brazil only started looking remotely threatening after Cicinho came on.

Oh well, at least my region can still support their local boy made good - Felipão (Scolari) - who hails from Canoas, just 10 minutes from here. (Who the hell comes from a town called canoes anyway?)

France played fairly well against Spain, but their performances in the group phase were just enough to qualify them. They appear to be the only team getting better, although Italy may be.

Really? So are people maybe not even going to be all that terribly shocked/crushed that their team didn't make it?


Yeah, it'll be interesting to see who'll win that game.

We are terribly shocked/crushed only because we have a lot of the best players of the world and they don´t play nothing. They don´t fight all the games. They don´t deserve to win. To win is necessary to have a team and not only the best players.

I'd have said Portugal, but the French played REALLY well today. This is actually the first French game of the tournament I've seen, for some strange reason, but as far as I've heard they weren#t quite that good before...

Yes but Brazil don´t fight. Brazil give all the space the Frenchs need to play well. Portugal will not do this.

We are terribly shocked/crushed only because we have a lot of the best players of the world and they don´t play nothing. They don´t flight all the games. They don´t deserve to win. To win is necessary to have a team and not only the best players. Yep, exactly right. Quite a waste of talent, really.

Yes but Brazil don´t flight. Brazil give all the space the Frenchs need to play well. Portugal will not do this. That's very well possible.

I would rather like to see a France-Germany final, though. :)

Even Worst,
They Just Did It

Parreira is an idiot. I don´t remember any good job he made in a team. Brazil won the WC on USA only because the other teams are worst. And he had a lot of good luck too. And on the next WC lost to France with a team better than the USA team.

On Japan, our team was not the better but Felipão made it play to win ... and we won.

Yep, exactly right. Quite a waste of talent, really.

That's very well possible.

I would rather like to see a France-Germany final, though. :)

Me too. I´m half german. But I´m half italian too.:D

But I love Portugal because our history. Think ... Portugal is a small country with a small population too. But conquer and keep for a long time a very big country like Brazil and made us a unified country.

Seriously, though - Brazil is out. As bad as they had been playing - did anyone really expect them to not go into the final?


Well, okay, I did, for one, but I mean really expect them not to?
Well, the French haven´t played all that lovely themselves so far. So I actually did expect Brazil to win. Seriously. The way Brazil played I´d rather have the Mannschaft play against them then these French.

Really? So are people maybe not even going to be all that terribly shocked/crushed that their team didn't make it?

Scolari always says that in Brazil you have 180 million trainers.

The way Brazil played I´d rather have the Mannschaft play against them then these French.
Yeah, I've been thinking that myself, but then again - even when they suck they still have some good players, and it would have been the final, so I could totally see Ronaldinho (and maybe even Ronaldo *gasp*) wake up just in time to run circles around us...
France seems like a more manageable oppenent, in a way, because they're easier to grasp, not quite so fickle and volatile.
But what do I know. *shrug*

When the Portugese arrived on the shores of Brazil there wasn´t that much to conquere. It was hardly inhabitet.

Yep, exactly right. Quite a waste of talent, really.

That's very well possible.

As do i ,oh the jokes to be heard.

Well, it certainly would be a contest of pure skill and teamwork. Hmm. Hopefully the Portugese will take out Zidane for us. Figo could headbutt him. Go Portugal!!! I want another Dutch game of them against France.

When the Portugese arrived on the shores of Brazil there wasn´t that much to conquere. It was hardly inhabitet.

Go study some pre colombian american history (not US - American), or simply don't post such ignorant comments - you're choice.

As do i ,oh the jokes to be heard.
Yeah, well, they were stupid enough today, so I'd wager they could only get worse then. :rolleyes:

Do any of you funnyguys even know or care that Germany and France actually get along most brilliantly? For people here, the war is simply a non-issue when they think of France.
I have yet to come across the French giving us shit about WWII or vice versa.

Very different from the English, obviously. :rolleyes:

Hell that was a total dive by ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bastard.
Maybe he saw a doughnut.

I guess i missed the jokes and i can't be bothered looking for them.

Sure, you both are unified in snubbing Americas demands and urgings for Troops for Iraq.
The difference is both nations were 'destroyed' in World War Two.
France can't laugh because they got rolled up so quickly and Germany can't because you eventually got crushed.

The English have a perverse humor which they were kind enough to pass on to us and Australia.
But also more importantly we haven't had our Countries attacked.

Plus the French are 'dicks' because they send spies over here to blow up boats.

I guess i missed the jokes and i can't be bothered looking for them.Well, most of them were your own, sweetie. :rolleyes:
Sure, you both are unified in snubbing Americas demands and urgings for Troops for Iraq. True.

True.
Very true. :rolleyes:
Oh great.
Gotta give you that one.
You found what i said funny,oh how sweet.
Now give me a hug.
:fluffle: It was all true.

I am not much of a prognosticator, but I predict that France will win 1 to 0. :D

The powerhouse of football known as Japan. ;) The only person I feel sorry for is Cafu b/c he's like 140 or something.

i dont care if someone else answered to this it just gets on my nerves when people say Cafu is old he's around 36...Cafu really cool to...i bet he was shaking the French players hands and smiling like any man who loves a good match win or lose would do.

Meh, it's okay. *pats* Just don't do it again, m'kay?

:)

france won. congratulations to france for beating the top-ranked team.

Plus the French are 'dicks' because they send spies over here to blow up boats.

Anything named the "rainbow warrior" deserves to get blown up. Sorry.

Yeah, I had Argentina, too... But Germany for the other one...Yep...
The championship was decided @ Berlin.

Zidane's the man!

:D

Well, most of them were your own, sweetie. :rolleyes:
True.
Very true. :rolleyes:
Oh great.
Gotta give you that one.
What the hell you are eatin belgium frites,and drinking beer again
