MERGED ----> the Euro 2004 thread + Say a little pray for France + England 1 France 2

[souLnation2002]

Zidane scoring two in the last three minutes was pretty impressive.

Too bad Beckham didn't make the penalty.

 

[anitram]

Awesome ending!

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Well that was exciting.

 

[Laura M]

I was hoping for a 2-1 result but I stuck safe with 1-1.
Ah it was a lovely match

Our family has bets on the winning team
I want France to win, my Mum wants Spain to win and my Dad loves Germany.
I was hanging off my seat, I didn't think France were going to do it, I was worried at the 83 minute mark.

Zidane

 

[Popmartijn]

at your dad...

[bayernfc]

Stupid Phone made me miss the last couple of minutes!!...........What a match!! Just 'cause I can't stand Beckham, it was a really exciting match indeed!

 

[bammo2]

I CANNOT believe this.

GUTTED.

bloody James. What a FOOL

I just hope that the (minority of twatty) england fans don't cause trouble after this, cause we'll be out on our ear before we can say 'James is a Twat'

 

[Popmartijn]

James wasn't a twat (or a fool). Gerrard was.

 

[bammo2]

As far as I'm concerned, most of the england team are fools/twats right now

I am actually quite glad to be leaving the country. It will save me the torment

 

[U2One]

oh man, what a devastating loss.....i blame gerrard for this

can't blame beckham for missing the kick, just have to give barthez credit for a great save....well, hopefully we'll get a win on thursday

 

[DaveC]

What an incredible game. I was pulling for England though.

 

[MissMaCo]

Congrats Magic Marie!!!

What a game!
What a show!
What a Zidane!

Magic Marie wants to thank Magic Zizou !
He's THE man !!!
OMG ! What a game ! What a suspense ! We were all very excited last night ! We now dream of another victory...
I must admit that the English played very well though...

Few hours to the first Italian match...

Can't wait!!

Babyman, are you gonna to Duomo square?

I will, not today, but on Friday!

My flag's ready!!!

Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s'? desta...

(This is the first part of our hymn!)

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

a word for the ref - great game. didn't send either silvestre or james off, which was pretty nice to see. penalty's enough a punishment as it is.

i don't think beckham should've taken the penalty. barthez knows his game too well. don't think james could've done anything against either goal either.

oh and i saw the itfc-england flag in the eighth minute. happy day.

go sweden.

 

[valentina]

Hi yertle-the-turtle!!

What part of Sweden are you from?

We're gonna have a match in a few days...
I like the shirt of your team!!!

 

[valentina]

And, yes, it was stupid to leave Becham kicking the penalty!
All the people who were with me while the match was broadcasted know that Barthez would have taken it!!!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

lol I'm not from Sweden. I'm from Singapore!

Actually I'm trying to be as neutral as possible but I have a bit of a bet going on about the Swedes doing well so I don't want to look silly.

Good luck to the Azzuri, although against Denmark I doubt it's necessary.

 

[valentina]

Good luck to the Azzuri, although against Denmark I doubt it's necessary.

Oooops!

Of course Azzurri will need luck -- when we play, it's always gonna be matter of luck!!!

But, please have a look to our player called GIANLUCA ZAMBROTTA!
He's one of the coolest guy I ever saw (even if I've a personal wickness also for Christian Vieri!! He plays in Inter, and I'm a supporter of that team! And he's quite cute!)

 

[Salome]

For the neutral spectator, this was truly a great game.

I enjoyed seeing england play with a lot of heart and the enthousiasm of the crowd

but it was mainly france playing the ball around not being able to create a half decent chance and england hardly being able to pass the ball 3 times in a row to make it over to the opponents side

it's no wonder this game was decided on free kicks and penalties because it's beyond me how either of them were supposed to score otherwise


it was an intense match
but for 90 minutes of football I didn't see a lot happening
hardly anything even


I guess that's been the game's fate for about a decade now though

 

[MissMaCo]

Zizou and Barthez
Vive la France ! We're on the road of victory !

*again ? *

Marie

 

[valentina]

I just hope it won't be again France vs Italy --
oh, well, I hope it will be that match...

But I'm afraid of how that could end...

 

[MissMaCo]

Hi Valentina, are you Italian ?

 

[Hewson]

Dear God, please let France see the light and stop harboring terrorists and being so Anti-American after the U.S. saved their butts from the Nazis.
Amen.

 

[valentina]

Hi Valentina, are you Italian ?

I AM

What city are you from?

 

[DrTeeth]

[BVive la France ! We're on the road of victory ![/B]

Yeah, just like Greece!

 

[Kate1]

England 1 France 2

I can not believe the luck of the French on Sunday!! Just 2 mins to go and 2 goals, we nearly had them!!

now we have to win the next two games !
Do you think they can win?

Im half Welsh so apart of me thinks yes they lost! OOOPS.

 

[Popmartijn]

And what has this to do with this thread?

 

[Naya]

Bravo pour la France! Vive Zidane!
