NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Undefeated Germany just lost to Italy in the World Cup and now they're out of the finals. :evil: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! I was rooting for them all the way...I take German in school and some of my family was German. I was hoping they'd beat Italy because Italy beat the Ukraine and I was rooting for the Ukraine too. Oh well...I hope Portugal beats France and then I hope they beat Italy in the final.
I'm really pleased that Portugal were beaten. T hey dived, niggled and cheated. They did not play the beautiful game. :x A shame because I love the Portuguese. I think Italy deserve to win but hope it's an exciting final. Overall I think this World Cup has been very disappointing and mediocre. Does anyone else agree? :cry: Gigimouse. I hope you find a really good venue to watch your team. Let us all know where you end up.
Well, I hope Italy wins the Cup. I'm not a huge fan of France. If France wins it though, on German turf, that should prove interesting...the Germans and the French don't like each other. I wasn't happy when the Czech Republic fell out, either. They were second best in the world. I expected them to do better...oh well :?
All riiiiight!!! Italy won the World Cup! Thank goodness they beat France! Still, being a Germany fan, it was tough to root for Germany's bitterest rival in soccer (that would be Italy) because the only other choice was the French :? But Germany won the 3rd place game! Woo-hoo! Go Deutschland! :mrgreen:
Well for all you football fans I was disgusted with last night's display. It just confirms my fears that football consists of a lot of overpaid louts. :cry: does this sort of behaviour really show our kids what is acceptable? I think not :x I also refer to my own counties petulant youngster Wayne Rooney. Give me a sport where we compete for the pleasure and leave the louts outside.
I agree with Mike. I'm a great football fan but i have been really disappointed with this World Cup. Unsporting behaviour, falling over and feigning injury, trying to get fellow professionals booked or sent off. I really had had enough by the end of the tournament and then Zidane's head butt (player of the tournament.... ha ha!) just finished it off for me :roll: I'm not a huge tennis fan but watching the Federer/Nadal final showed to me what sportsmanship is all about.
