I was rooting for Brazil but now I will either go for Portugal or Germany.

^^After Cristiano Ronaldo's actions I don't want to see Portugal win - lucky bastards!! Although they're an attractive betting proposition at 6-1 - the outsiders of the remaining four teams.

I hope Germany win. I honestly can't believe I'm saying that...:wtf:

What was Zidane doing?? After he did that I was hoping for an Italy win. What a sad way to end a great career.

Re: World Cup 2006
 

oh..italy won...great...i could manage to watch only 1st 20 minutes .....Zidane panelty hit was a lucky one.....though a good technique ..but damn lucky...i am sure he would have a good reward on his head if that panelty hit did'nt made the way it did after hitting the goal post......so ITALY won....good!

Re: World Cup 2006
 

What was he thinking? - I believe it was something along the lines of ( "Have it!" )

I'm glad italy won. - After five minutes of watching I made my mind up that I didn't want to the french to win because....well, they're french!:rolleyes:

Re: World Cup 2006
 

I watched the entire final, although I did doze off for about 15 minutes late in the first half. It's unfortunate France lost, because they were the better team for most of the match (certainly for the final minutes of regulation, and most of overtime). It certainly would've been surprising for them to win in PKs, given that Buffon was far better than Barthez (although Trezeguet's ringer off the crossbar was the only thing that prevented them from a 5th try). Oh well. Perhaps in South Africa the US won't suck so much.
It's interesting to note that, of the 14 European teams in the tourney, 10 made it through to the knockout stage. The next round, of the 8 remaining teams, 6 were from Europe; and the "Final Four" were all European. A little home-continent advantage, perhaps?
