hahahaha if you were watching soccer for over 6 years, you would not type this intollerant, arrogant and non sapient statement. Euro 2000 final.
It was a good game! Better than germany vs brazil in 2002 for sure
But, may be you are just interested in the world cup.

Prediction: FIFA disqualifies both teams in the final for being pussies and taking dives, awards the cup to 3rd place, Germany.

I was suprised at how few dives the Italians took in the game against Germany, especially in comparison to friday's game against the Ukraine. Still, dives were taken at opportune times; inopportune for the germans.

Have you ever heard of the rule: If you dive you get a yellow card. that´s why totti got his red card in Korea against Korea. Remember that ??
And there are many other players from other teams who dive...
It´s just a prejudice saying italians always dive.
And look at Cannavaro, Gattuso, Pirlo, Perrotta, Grosso, Zambrotta, Buffon: If you call them pussies, you don´t understand alot about soccer, I am sorry.

Wow about 5000 people in the Circo Massimo last night. They went ape shit when Italia won. From the roman games in the circus of ancient times to modern day global patriotism. All the main roads were closed as fanatics marched in front of the coliseum and drove in circles waving flags. Never seen anything like it.

about to go do some shopping and watch the game in the middle of aveiro.

FORÇA PORTUGAL!!!!

[Grapes]

No argument when it comes to Portugal, and Italy are notorious as well. But I don't know where you're getting off saying this about France. From what I've seen of their games they've been nothing but class, beating opponents of considerable talent with skill and technique, not flopping and whinging like Portugal.

Apparently Henry flopped to draw France's 2nd goal against Spain.. I somehow missed that one. He protests that he's not that kind of player, and from what I've seen in countless premiership and Champion's League games, he's really not.

I called portugal to beat france today-was wrong. Oh well. France, dispite how much of a pussy society they are, suprisingly play good soccer. If Portugal had won today, I wouldn't be watching the final.

Marcel, Wasn't it Grosso who rolled around in pain during two Ukrainian attacks, to have the stretchers come out, the whole shebang.. to go to the side line, grab some water, and start playing again? Dude watch your team play. It's sickening. They arn't quite as bad as the Portuguese(there's a few others I could name up their also but I won't because they've already lost and are in enough shame) but even two of ym good friends, who are die HARD Italian's, AND soccer players, admit that they disagree with the amount of dives and acting the italy team has added to their game play.

[Alex]

also, listing buffon??? What the hell, he's your goalie. why would he take a dive? Just for the record, I do think Buffon is the best keeper in the world atm. His dive to save that ukrainian shot when he smoked his head on the poll was intense.

[Ms.Chop]

of course Portugal plays good soccer..
unlike some of the countries.. soccer is our national sport.

but ye.. u kno, im jus glad we made it so far.. im SO proud of how we did..

40 yrs since the last time we've been to semi's I THINK SO!

VIVA PORTUGAL PARA SEMPRE

at least we beat England.. BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Chuck]

France plays suprisingly well.

I call a french world cup win.

And i can brag and say my team didnt lose to the french this WC at least.

LOL.

portugal is overrated.

Admittedly the French sat back too much in the second half, but I thought they were the better of the two teams in the first half.

France was lucky.

As they say in England.. You're havin a laugh, mate.

You called the Italians pussies, that´s why I listed him... because he is not a pussy
Actually I haven´t noticed what grosso did against ukraine.

Anyway, what kind of teams do you like ??

[Gusto]

diving doesn't make a team a bunch of pussies. the point of diving is that they're not actually hurt.
