for chris and shy to arrive with rotten food projectiles.

A couple of days ago I would have. Now I've seen the commercial with the Italian football players in not much clothing, and what can I say? And who can be mad at such gorgeous men?

I still think Italy did not deserve winning over us, but better them being champions than the French. *shrug*

And I'm really glad that this whole thing is over and quietness gets back, so I can sleep again instead of listening to people partying in front of my window.

I really really hope you mean for this match, and not for the whole championship *looks sternly*

 

[babiesmiles]

Congratulazione

Congratulazione to Gli Azurri

 

[babiesmiles]

Thank you ....yay

 

[saw_man1]

Good for Italy

Happy faces in Italy and sad ones in France.

France’s captain getting tossed for a stupid and flagrant foul is what tipped the scales.

 

[babiesmiles]

I was heartly sorry for Zidane , was a bad way to end a wonderful career !

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!!! lol

 

[shy slave]

Well, I am not english so thank Fuck the english did not win.

Living in England with every car covered in flags was bad enough.

I am estatic that it was not the french who won (hey, I may be scottish but I am still British )

And having seen the Italians half naked I feel a visit to Italy coming on

 

[WriterDom]

Call it what it is. Soccer. In real football the French would surrender after the kickoff, and the Italians wouldn't make it to the second quarter.

Suit up, you fucking frogs. Lets have a real world cup.

Yeah, soccer is the most popular sport in the world, blah blah blah. Any third world country can play. All you need is a inflated goat's bladder and 22 girls.

I think we should invade any county that calls soccer, football. Starting with France. That should take about a week without the pesky Germans in the way.

What a boring sport. I'd rather see one SEC football game on TV than the entire world cup in person.

Sorry,

Someone had to say it.

peace out and save the whales.

 

[C's Button]

YAY! The NonFrench team won! But they (the French) are probably still going to build a monument to themselves over the whole thing.

Apologies (sort of) to any French persons here, but you should have been nicer when we visited there, darnit!

 

[SpectreT]

Double post. Sorry.

 

[SpectreT]

I have to take issue with something WriterDom posted; The Italians would absolutely kick ass until halfway through the third quarter, then they'd use all their timeouts electing a new coaching staff and team captain. After which, their momentum would be gone as they try to adapt a new style.

Italy's half of my heritage, that's why I kid.

 

[Evil_Geoff]

Talk about confused...

I open a thread about football, proclaiming we are the champions, and I'm scratching my head because football season hasn't even STARTED yet.

Then I realize that it's about soccer, the OTHER football. *chuckles* Sorry, I know I'm being USA-centric and all but that just threw me for a loop.

I think I watched maybe 30 minutes of highlights the whole freaking world cup, I had a hard time getting excited when the American team didn't make it into the quarterfinals. Kinda like watching the Tour de France. Without Lance Armstrong in the mix, and all the top guns taken out in the doping scandal, why bother?

But I _am_ glad the Italians beat the French! *LOL*

 

[O'Mac]

Bah! France is my team and they played so inconsistently throughout the tournament I am surprised trhey made it to the final at all. I think toward the end they just lost a lot of their steam. Getting the early goal was a boost, but they just couldn't escalate with it. I think the better team won, but it's a shame for Zidane to go out like that.

You will note that while I suppost France, that doesn't mean I have any hatred for the Italians. Why, that would just make me a tool.

 

[Evil_Geoff]

It isn't that I hate France...

It's just that we've pulled their bacon out of the fire several times, rebuilt their country twice, and the French (at least the Parisians) aren't the least bit grateful for it.

They declared war on Greenpeace and it took them six months but they finally won.

They bitched and moaned for 7 straight years that Lance Armstrong was cheating, could never, EVER prove it, and _now_, after Lance has retired, and they busted all the top riders for doping or on suspicion of doping, the French are STILL bitching that Lance was cheating...

They are a bunch of sore losers, and even sorer partners/allies...

Screw 'em if they don't fall at the feet of Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Coke and Da Mouse! *chuckles*

 

[O'Mac]

Yeah, I'll give you the whole thing with them and Armstrong. I mean, fuck guys! He's just good. Get over it!

It's just that we've pulled their bacon out of the fire several times, rebuilt their country twice, and the French (at least the Parisians) aren't the least bit grateful for it.

Is this about the time the U.S. singlehandedly beat the Germans, Japanese, and Italians with their hands tied and eyes blindfolded during World War II with no help whatsoever? Yeah, I sorta see why you'd want to go on about it for 60 years. (Oh yeah, I went there).

By the way, rebuilt France twice? Do you mean like towards the end of World War I? I've give you the Marshall Plan after WWII, but the US demobilized and left Europe ASAP following the November 11 armistice.

As for Greenpeace and the whole nuclear testing, yeah, that was stupid of them. I don't know why they even considered getting back into the whole business of non-conventional deterence.

Agreements and disagreements. Discuss amongst yourself children.

Ah ah ah .... we are the champions

...

*LOL* 60 years is just a good warm up!

We're still pissed at the Yankees for winning the War of Southern Independence and that was over in 1865.... lessee... that's 141 years ago! We Rebels have loooooong memories! *LOL*

Yeah, but F. Scott Fitzgerald and slew of other American writers, artists, and musicians drank the French economy back to health after WW1... I think Papa Hemingway did a stint there before heading off to the Spanish Civil War too...
