brillant performance by zizou. a legend outshining the rest of of the young up and coming players. a lot of people (including me) thought he was below his prime. but he is showing that the master still has a few breaths left. If he wins the cup then it will cap off one of the best performace and i have seen for someone his age. The cup will be zidanes cherry on his illustrious career.

 

another 4 year wait for england.

I don't think the next coach can give us the cup. oh well.

[paupawie]

darn, england lost....they always lose on penalty kicks..ilang years na yan ah!!

Wonderboy Rooneyboy low blowed a Portugal defender

geeez what happen to brazil...i guess ronaldo didnt care as much cause he got the goal record...

 

 

1 more game for zidane

[_eRon_]

ahahahah!! galing ng France, gling tlga ni Zidane..

 

Semis na:

 

Italy vs. Germany = Germany

 

France vs. Portugal = France

 

Eventual champions: France pa din ko, kahit na malaki chance ng Germany..

Sabi sa inyo eh, papasok sa magic 4 ang Portugal. Ang galing ng master tactician Scolari. Nasa coach yan. Galing magmotivate kahit na walang star players sa team niya. ARRIBA PORTUGAL!!!!!

[grappelli]

Portugal coach Scolari:

 

 

 

“I’m the type of coach who focuses on results. I’m not one of those hypocrites who says they only want to win by playing well, by playing pretty football. I want results, and teams that play beautiful football are usually on the first plane home. I’m not saying that there isn’t a place for entertainment in the game. If you can get results and play nice football, then all well and good, but if it all goes wrong then it’s the coach who’s out of a job. I live and die by my results.”

 

Yan ang tunay na coach! ARRIBA PORTUGAL!!!

[MRyoso]

say goodbye to ronaldo.. sayang talo sila.. d man lang naka goal si kulotski.. tsktsk!!

 

si beckham umayaw na sa pagigigng captain..

i wonder what you call FIGO,C.RONALDO,DECO,TIAGO,CARVALHO.????? Scolari may be a great manager but without his players especially their well practiced diving... they will never reach up to this stage.

[nashty]

bad trip natalo england..

 

if only rooney wasn't sent off..

if only the handball inside the box was called..

 

haha.. pero ganyan talaga.. laro lang 'to.

 

on the other hand.. france won! wohoo! galing talaga ni zidane.. fave ko tlga yun.

 

btw, to those who watched in NSG, buti di nagkastampede nung nawala yung video nung penalty shootout na.. hahaha.

walang star player/players?!?!

[redshirt]

In my opinion,it would be a miracle if England win EURO 2008 or WC 2010!! :grr:

 

I don't like the new England gaffer at all!!! :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

 

 

 

I hope the French win the WC this time.... I think they deserve it after beating Brazil

 

 

 

Goodbye England,Goodbye Beckham :cry:

 

You can do it Zizou!!

I agree. But if Scolari had been the Brazilian's coach, they wouldn't be grieving now. Like a good orchestra, you need the consumate maestro, an excellent conductor to wield the baton.

 

Imagine a star-studded team crashing out of the World Cup. As of now, most observers, including the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Amando Doronila, are already predicting a Germany-France title setto. As they say in local parlance, "bilog ang bola." The four teams in the semifinals were not rated before the tournament. The rated teams are all back to their respective countries--Czech Republic, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands. The Magic 4 teams started slowly but have been peaking at the right pace.

 

Of the four semifinalists, it is Portugal who is the hungriest. The other three have already tasted winning the Cup. Having reached this stage, I'm confident Figo & Co. would prove to all and sundry that it is worthy of gunning for the Cup.

[unvwalkalone]

italy was one of my predicted team to go this far...hope they can do well against the germans.

whenever portugal plays, there are bound to have controversy, so i kind of dont like them, especially all the acting....

so i'm hoping for france to win against portugal.

[redshirt]

I never want to see England involved in another penalty shoot-out!!! EVER!!! :grr:

[tazmanic]

i can't wait for tomorrow night! i hope italy beats germany. i'm a fan of alessandro del piero and juve so sana manalo sila. sana manalo rin ang france. most people want france to win because of zidane, ako naman i want them to win because of thierry henry.

 

if everthing goes well, it will be italy vs. france with france getting the cup.
