Portugal vs France

[ducktrapper]

What a world it has become when a North American can't make a little joke about soccer!  Now that's rock'n'roll!   

Ever seen someone blocking a shot in hockey? Ever been hit by a puck? Here's someone about to get hit by a puck at about 100 MPH.



Now for the guys just hoping the ball doesn't hit them. They're already crying for heaven's sake. Tough guys alright.  :rolleyes:

I have met very few persons on the board but feel as though I have made several very good friends. Let me suggest that while we are going to have disagreements, everyone does, that carrying them on to this extent does absolutely nothing but piss people off. Then the verbal bullying and insults do nothing to advance anything! It happens enough and soon no one will want to spend time here and that would indeed be a pity. Let me suggest that the matter be dropped at this point and that no one try to get the last word in, that we move on and concentrate on the music that unites us rather than the pettiness that threatens to divide us.

OK, I'll get off of my soapbox and shut up now.

Please don't shut up. It is important for those of us who would like this Forum to remain civil to step in from time to time and tame the testosterone fuelled madness!

If I were Mod for a day I would be pushing the delete button on a whole lot of posts, and possibly a few user accounts as well...

If "stfu" means what I think it means, I would expect that someone owes our Forum membership an apology, and owes it to himself to think about his comments more carefully in the future.

I am a pacifist by nature, and design, but I think it is important from time to time to challenge those who have lost their way.

I know!  You gotta admit it was kinda funny/cool/interesting though, right?  Getting headbutted in the sternum can't feel all that good...

soccers the greatest sport EVER...period.

This headbutt couldn't have come at a better time to prove my point that soccer players are tough dudes.

Soccer is the worlds most popular sport..

VIVA SOCCER!

The Italians really must have gotten under Zidane's tough skin.  I wonder what sort of bait they were using.  What a disgraceful way to end a terrific career.

Italy's brutal start to the game was bothersome and I'm sure that's the reason the ref allowed the PK in the 5th minute.  But France started throwing their elbows and arms around later in the game, so all was even, I guess.  The better team won, imho.

Personally, I enjoyed yesterday's game better.  More wide-open with lots of shots and goals.  The defenses relaxed, I think.

Yeah, soccer is cool.  I coach it, I like it.  The world seems to love it.  The USA is a little late to the party, but perhaps someday will be on the same stage as the Euro's, but perhaps not in my lifetime...

I went to the Montreal Musicians & Musical Instruments Show this afternoon. It is a side show to the Montreal Jazz Festival, in its second year. I can tell you that I've never seen such a low attendance to the last day of the Jazz Fest. The reason was very clear as I was driving down St-Denis street with my car windows down. I could hear huge cheers left and right coming from the bars and cafés all along the street. There was even a stand at the MMMI with a large screen TV and the game was on. I would have never thought that so much people were interested in soccer here.

When I left around 7:30PM, the crowds were coming back.

Lame? Dude, you were banned from this site and you've slinked back with another handle? Define lame, loser!  :rolleyes:

Oh man was that a good game!!! I went to a local Pub here in Dallas and purposely sat in the French corner.  I was and incongnito Italian fan!! Then when the game started and they started singing the Italian anthem i got up and started cheering. HAHA the people around me all had French flags painted on their faces.  Half of them were actually French.  BUT me and a couple of other Italian fans sat there and mixed it up for them. 

That PK WAS TOTAL BS!!! There was no foul there and Thank GOD Italy got that goal because i was really depressed for a couple minutes there.  Italy OWNED France on the Crosses.  I mean Every cross an Italian got their head on it.  I think if they could have gotten more corners the game would have not been close at all.  BUT Italy loves the man up on Defense and play the break away game.  Kinda annoying to me but whaever works works right?

Now to Mr. Z .. from what i am hearing now Materazzi (italy) called him a terrorist and thats what sent him over the line.  Dude i dont care if he said he was going to kill your family.  Its the World Cup and as a professional Z KNOWS its just banter.  What a childish thing to do. 

[ducktrapper]

Yeah sure. Where's the moderator? If he's been banned, I think most of us would agree that he needs to go away. Like a big boy. Oh and $*@% him if he can't take a joke. That is all.  :mellow:

yeah, he should have waited until he beat the italians, and THEN went over to him after the game and beat the crap out of him...I've heard several rumors about what M said to Z...some of them include making fun of his son that has a disease/making fun of his fathers heritage/and then the terrorist insult...obviously it was a low enough blow to make zidane implode.  Sure it was chidlish, but M deserved it...he's a very dirty player that has had it coming for a long time...someone needed to do it...I'm glad zidane did it...and with such style...and guess what? Zidane got World Cups best player award...he's a freakin legend...everyone knows M is a dirty player, from the refs all the way down to the fans...Zidane is up there w/ pele as far as talent goes...he will be remembered as a great.

Zidane was paid off be the Italians and took a dive. It'll be all over the news soon. Soccer is so corrupt.

wow, that is laughable. And where exactly did you get these facts?

Why would  italy pay the opponent to take a dive, so he could most likely score a goal on them? 

I suppose you probably think Materazzi was faking his injury as well.

If they truly wanted to fix the game, zidane would have missed his first PK.

With all do respect...

That may happen in the Italian leauge.. but NOT in the World Cup.
