Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

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.

In fact nobody though france was good at first. Spain sentenced them dead the day before the match. The press was all like "Zidane: list is your last match" (And I'm beeing literal). In the radio, you could hear "Spain will face Brazil in quarter-finals". (Which was giving the victory to brasil before the match too).

After the Spain - France match, zidane said "Spain, I'm STILL here ;) "

And now, as always, everybody was claiming Brasil was unbeatable and that france would lose. I don't think brasil deserved to win, and it had to happen, sooner or later. Not only because I hate monotony (alonso winning all the time in F1 is boring), but if Brasil had won this world cup, they would have done it without deserving it at all.

Well done France. I don't think brasil got ripped off, since they didnt play well to start with. That spanish ref is a baaaaad ref.

Zidane is simply out of this world.

Well i'll be supporting the French in their game against Portugal! Make no mistake about that!

Gutted we're out but we played bloody hard after Rooney went off (silly boy) and when it came down to the penalties, the Portugal keeper was excellent.

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!!!

You can say that again. The way they played as a team was amazing. All those passes to move the ball forward... text book football right there. I loved the match but I do think France missed a few opportunaties and in the later rounds, they need to capitalize on it.

Great gameplan though and props go out to the coaching staff

It will be a treat to see Germany vs Portugal in the finals. Just imagine Klose+Podolski+Ballack+Schneider taking on Miguel+Carvalho+Valente :)

and Lahm+Frings+Mertesacker+Metzelder vs Ronaldo+Figo+Maniche ... I cant wait for these two to clash and go till the very SUDDEN DEATH

NOOO... Germany against France please... not Portugal. For two reason... I want Zidane to have another final before the end of his career, second, all of Spain is going to kill themself if Portugal wins a world cup before them...lol! No but seriously, I don't think Protugal deserve anything the way they played during the eight and quarter finals.

personnally I want France up there with Germany :)

but anyway... good luck to all

Portugal = Divers and cheats

Italy = Divers and cheats

Germany = Boooooring!

France = meh!

Don't really care who wins now!

Pete

France should be classed as divers and cheats also (viera/henry)

    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
