WC Semi-Finals: Portugal vs France [P]+[R]

[Johnny_Big]

You still answer to them? Let them speak alone, and play with their Shrek-alike "angel" players.

Good match.

haha touché

I hate the antics and bad sportmanship of the Portugese players. It's a shame because Portugal is a beautiful country. Your team has distorted the Worlds view of your country.

So a bunch of guys has distorted the worlds view of our country...
It's funny you write that since on every competition, whenever there are English suporters around, there's violence. Imagine how distorted your countrie must be...

heh, classic hooliganism. Where did it originate btw? :corn:

 

[NightCrawler]

Enough about the English they're in the past, we need to focus on France now!

Generalisations.

I'd expect it from someone whose country is known for imperialism, racism and general discrimination towards other people/races.

 

[Da Kid]

I reaaaally hope Scolari will win this! they have a great team and they deserve it!

 

[Punkt]

France is a great side with an inspired Zidane but i think we aren't inferior. we must control Zidane because this was the key factor for the brazilian fall. they didn't marked Zizou. it's a 50/50 match.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Well... He's slow.... (:/)

obviously, my bad.

 

[newbie original]

Well, I went against Portugal and they proved me wrong again. This time, for some reason, I just can't see them losing to France. I would prefer to see France in the final, but just cannot see them winning.

Portugal 1:0 France on a goal by Pauleta.

With Deco back I think Portugal has a better chance than people give them credit. Their defense has been solid enough. Brazil played like the USA the other day...any good team would have gotten a result against them. Final score 1-1 to penalties where Portugal and the Great Wall that is Ricardo carries them to their first ever defeat in a World Cup Final against the Azzurri.

 

[Num Lock]

Scolari is a great coach, he'll prolly put both portoguese dmf on ZZ, whatever happens i just don't want any of our midfielders to get a yellow card, what worries me is that Portugal played 120mins and before that they had their thing with the Netherlands, if Portugal makes us go beyond the regular time i just can't see us playing well for more than 90mins and we all know Scolari isn't afraid to defend a match nul (0-0 against England and subbin Pauleta for simao).

Controlling the pace of the game will be even more important this time around.

I just hope that either one of you guys beat Italy in the final....

same here.

if France beats us tomorrow I hope they beat the f*ck out of Italy in the final.

 

[JJSFC]

Despite the whole of England being bitter about losing to Portugal, I'm gunna break the mould and support them! And if they get through to the final I want them to beat Italy!

Because at least we can say we lost to the eventual winners of the WC.

 

[Virgo]

we're the underdogs and we never won the damn thing. I would definitely support Portugal even if I wasn't portuguese

 

[Yossarian]

?To the Portuguese fellers on this board......hmm......how you say, how you say...."I love the smell of napalm in the morning" in your language?

 

[Vinnie Jones]

"Eu adoro o cheiro a napalm de manhã" I will even throw a freebie and translate your new catch sentence "Dinamismo negro"
