You say abomination, which i think is a bit harsh,
to put it simple. I'd rather say it was not a heady kick,
that everyone wished to see. (Strictly from a German Point of view.
If you don't mind.
It was hyperbole. Never heard that expression before..."not a heady kick"...lol My posts are more understandable than yours...if you don't mind.
Brasil (brasilia is the capital although maybe that's what you call Brasil in german??) was simply overrun in midfield and Cafú was exposed time and time again by the speedy french. It doesn't help when your strikers/forwards don't help out on defense either....that overstretched the defense which was left with too many one on ones. And from what I'm reading from the brasilian media...they seem to agree with me. Capishe?
Couldn't stay awake for the game and just saw the results now (it started at 4:00 am and I am not as young as I used to be and I have a conference today this afternoon that I really should be awake for).
France sends Brazil home!
Will watch the game later today as it sounds like it was pretty good.
What is it with the focus on languaguage errors/differences in spelling, etc? See this thread here: Grammar Cops.
I've only just recovered from the Germany vs Argentina game, so missed the next night's games, but Brazil and England going out is quite the surprise.
I went to go see it the Germany game at the Lowenbrau Keller in Sydney and the atmosphere was awesome. The Germans sure like to get behind their team You wouldn't believe how many times they played that Mundstuhl song too!
Can't remember the last time England made it through the quarter-finals in a World Cup, so perhaps not quite a surprise. More like: things, as they happen.

That's true, but I just expected them to beat Portugal quite easily. I haven't seen the match yet, so I can't really comment on how they played in that match. The replay is on in half an hour I think so I'll have to check it out.
Hey Powerdoc...what are the french media saying? Any response from the idiot that said France had too many black players??
Did not read the french press today, nor the french media.
I ignored that some fool was saying that France has too many black players. The coach choose the best players regardless of the skin color, it should be obvious for everyone, excepting for the fool making this declaration.
All I can say, is that people where very happy after the match. The town was full of happy people.
No "boy". We're not a wee bit heated. I'd rather say "it was not a heady kick". Or a leggy header.
Powerdoc: I think those comments just caused the team to unite and emboldened them. The result on the field is pretty obvious. They're playing very well as a team and Zidane, has been reborn. For your sake I hope he has enough left for two more games. If they win thee next one that is.
By the way, it was France's own right winger Le Pen who made the comments.

Why do you keep calling Brazil, Brazilia? If you want to call them in their native tongue, It's Brasil, as Brasilia is a city in Brazil, not the country itself.
It's like calling Germany - Alemania or (gasp!) Almanya, in Turkish.

Uh, this is just a very old and granted just a bad habit, a pen pal (portugiese)
of mine was used to, and i copied it. Now i barely can't control my really
fast typing fingers.
I thought it is fun in the first place. But if you compare it to
Germany vs. Alemania you make me to reconsider
my habits. Btw, it is still "Deutschland" rather than "Germany".
Btw2, several other countries refer to our country as Alemania
or something along that line, the French, the netherlands, the
turks and a lot more - this is just off top of my head.

I see Le pen ...
One more worthless comment coming from him ...
We will see if Zidane has enough strenght for two others matchs. I wrote two by purpose : there is also the small finale

That man is ridiculous. Period. I strictly believe it is safe to
ignore him. Don't put him into the center of any
media recognÃ*tion.

Hopefully, because the Brazilia match was pretty exhausting.
I just can see the upcoming Finale GER vs. FR, maybe wishfull
thinking, but it is quite possible, do you agree, Gilsch?
Dare to bet?

Sven has been on the ice for a long time. England will be better off without both.

By the netherlands i suppose u mean the dutch. And Germany in Dutch is Duitsland, so not something along the line of Alemania. Just so you know
