OT: Euro04

When the striker and the goalie know each other, the smartest one will usually win.

Now Bartez might not be of rocket scientist material, but Beckham

The blame for this miss must go to the Swede (not you Ruatha, the other one). He should have known better

I didn't think it was an awful penalty at the time. Barthez guessed right and saved well. When I saw Zindines though I realized how average Beckham's was. I'd have Lampard or Rooney take penalties from now on.

*Crosses fingers* Croatia is leading to France for now, so perhaps my mad prevision will come to reality. Switerzland would need to win against France, and England against Croatia, and then France would not make it to the next stage of the competition.

What's the word for it? Oh yes, wishful thinking. But I may dream, can't I?

Edit: And add "Croatia has still to win against France" to the list.

Sorry 2-2 now

Indeed, hence my edit. Though I guess I am responsible, as France scores only when I am writing they are losing, and not before. (Sadly it happened as well in a certain other game against England. *Sighs* It hurts quite a lot when you leave with England leading, and comes back a few minutes later to see you have just lost the game.

So stay at your television the next match !!

BTW. you are from France so explain to my why you want them to lose..............

Great Game!

Croatia nearly would have beaten France! If that Last shot on the goal from the croatians...nah...nevermind, a relative slow match, but lots of goals :-)

France still can be kicked out by Suisse (even if they need to win with at least...hmm...3 goals?!)

That would be weird...
