Hi,
Brazil out? Good for them. That should teach 'em that a bunch of individual great players won't be enough to be a winning team. I was saddened to see Ronaldinho not playing up to his usual high standards, and found Robinho and Juninho playing okay too, but the rest? No dynamics, no will to win, nothing. Ronaldo again just stood there, not moving a bit - I have no idea why they let him even play in the bad form he is at the moment.
The situation when the French goal happened was very interesting. A free kick by Zizou, five or six French in front of the goalkeeper awaiting the shot, and...only three brazilians? Four other brazilians just stood there 5 meters behind them, watching how Henry scored the goal, undisturbed by anyone. Er...what had happened there?!?
I hope Brazil will have learned the lesson and will return better prepared to the next world cup, with a stronger will to win and not only relying on the names of their stars.

Quote:Incredible match!!!Indeed! It was a pleasant surprise to see his genius resurface again, after some weak matches. He plans to end his career after the world cup, and I think he deserves to go down in style when losing against us in the final. :P
Zidane was so good, what a player... a man? no a god.
