I'm quite anbiguous about this. Being English of course I want the Frence to lose, but you can't help but hope that a legend like Zizou goes out on a high note. I mean, wow, his last proffesional game is the World Cup Final. This is the stuff that dreams are made of. Regardless of the result, at the end, I hope he goes out onto the pitch alone for a standing ovation.

So, Come on Italy and Zidane!!!!!! I know it doesn't make sense but there you have it.

Henry already been knocked unconsious. Not good news for the French. That has to be the weirdest looking ice pack I have ever seen

I just realized theres not a single thread about this.

Well, there should be!! Theres nothing in the world as big as the World Cup. Rooney's fit, and England are gonna kick some serious axx!!!!

First England game, vs Paraguay tomorrow, the first on the road to the World Cup final. The Julles Rimet Trophy is practically in London already.

For all the American who have never understood footbal (soccer) before, nows the time. Trust me, you will never see anything like this in the US. This is the world's pasttime, the poor man's theatre. Like the great Bill Shankley once said "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I can assure you it's much, much more important then that!"


Soccer has become more and more of my life and I been following American sports for litterally all my life. I love the cup and better luck for England next time.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Fascist fans wave flags ahead of a game of Rome's Lazio club in January.



Seems that when white germans all get together in the name of the fatherland their insecurity breeds some bad blood.

Its a sporting event for heavens sake!

I feel bad that 'all' of the Germans have to put up with this crap and have to answer for it. This is just pure hatred, no substance at all, and it will never grow, never! This is one good reason to have the World Cup, so to expose this kind of thing. It's meant to bring people together. I'm all for that.

France are playing like Portugal. Diving all over the place. They should be ashamed, besmirching the most important game in the world like this. I hope they lose now. Badly. Grrrrrr

Do i AGAIN have to tell somebody that the people on those pictures are fans and players from ROME!!! Rome is the capital of Italy, Italy is NOT Germany, as this is the case obviously the facist idots on the pics are NOT Germans!!!!

Nowadays Germany is propably one of the least racist countries in the world due to our past and thats good!!! I hope people will someday understand that!!!

France are all over the place at corners. Italy looking confident. Great close-range ballwork by Italy in the penalty area before.

Is this game even on in the US?

Half-time. France 1- Italy 1. After seeing the antics of the French team, I hope Italy wins this. Looking like a very good game so far. Zidanes getting a bit of a kicking. Gatusso looks like he would chase the ball into the parking lot. Italy look dangerous from set-pieces.

Well, that was tense! The French have a slight edge on the foot work, but the Italians had more shots at goal. You can just feel the fatigue starting to kick in.
