[giga Veteran]

AHAHHAHAH! Zidane is the master. Brilliant sums it up. No one can do it like he does. Awesome, just awesome. Spin moves and everything.

France (Y) You deserved it. In 98 and now here again.

[djesteban]

[L3thal Veteran]

This is why I love the World Cup. All the "favorites" are gone :D

What a beautiful day! Portugal wins, England loses, and Brazil loses :woot:

[BreakingBenjamin]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D Way to go Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[redFX]

France played supurbly... everyone said they were going to get mauled by Brazil.... lol, awsome game by zizou

France could have scored at least another goal from all those missed opportunaties. The French midfield really stepped it up this game.

[Julius Caro]

hahaha @ Brazil :laugh:

They haven't been playing anything and everyone always defended them because "they don't want to force themselves". Congrats to France on a marvelous game and win.

P.S. Wow, looks like 55% of the poll was wrong :whistle:

That's because people pick the team they wanted to win, and not the team they predicted :p

[KoL Veteran]

No team from America :(

[djpnuemo]

a germany v france final would be fantastic!

[giga Veteran]

like i said & i quote again ===> Henry+Vierra+Ribery > Brazil (1-0 fulltime = peace)

Wrong. Zidane+Henry+Vierra+Ribery > Brazil (1-0 fulltime = peace)

[duntkno]

that sucks.....first minutes of the game, it became pretty clear, france was gonna dominate tho. : ( ; france played great.

[Kamael]

Best. Game. Of this WC. Period.

France showed today what football really is, is not about superstars and the marketing ****, the only superstar here was Zidane, he's 34 and he was far better than any Brazilian on the field...! Almost no diving, no acting, pure action!!! Allez la france!!!

[MEMO.INC]

WOW, i take my hat off. Zidane is the only player that showed "jogo Bonito" the magic. I was cheering for brazil since it was the last noneuropean team playing but when i saw the magic I melted.

[Orange]

Very good game and how it's meant to be played :D

[macmax]

Very accurate prediction :)

(Y)

I just won $100 bet ;) ... No south-american team in last 4 = disgrace. Will be a treat to see all euro action from now on.

Germany owning Italy's ass and Portugal giving a farewell bid to Zidane ( my bet )

[emel]

Brasil broke my heart.. :cry: :cry: :cry: If they played their second half in theh first half, they could've win..

Definitely. One of the purest players to play.

Sad to see that last bit of diving from Ronaldo. Shame shame. :no:

Let's hope Zizou can end his career happily with another trophy.

a germany v france final would be fantastic!

absolutely! i just hope germany can make it :)

[macmax]

Wrong. Zidane+Henry+Vierra+Ribery > Brazil (1-0 fulltime = peace)

I did not think he could play to his potential before the match but he proved all his critics wrong. Some class atlast from the aging player
