World Cup 2006

[IAceI]

Henry could have stayed on his feet and put it away with ease, but he got caught and Carvalho didn't come close to the ball and still got Henry on the ankle. Therefore - penalty.

[Guest muddatrucker]

I dunno, he'd of had to stretch, it clipped his foot, it was probably easier to go down, it was even worse because he was defending with one foot and fowling with the other.

Are the UK commentators noticing the water bottle the Ports threw onto the field?

Ronaldo diving again, I am shocked.

[The Kraig]

Henry was trying to run onto the ball, which was in the box with no defender in sight, and then Carvalho followed through with his other leg because he knew he was screwed. I'm surprised there was no card, because he clearly meant it. Your leg doesn't just SPRING out like that.

But yeah, it was a small clip, but it still affected Henry's footing, momentum, etc.

And WOW, Abidal is SHIT.

I'd give Ronaldo the benefit of the doubt over the penalty thing. Wait, no I won't, diving sack of motherfucking shit.

[ACCBiggz]

WAR FRANCE!

Zidane is the man, and Henry will show up in the 2nd half. As an American I didn't understand the whole diving concept until I saw Ronaldo falling around at will.

I can not wait to order my Henry and Zidane jerseys!!! Get my England one in on Monday too...

The 10 men of France are playing so much better now than Portugal (Abidal doesn't count as a player).

Portugal have resorted to hacking to stop them.

"Pauleta's not good enough to play up there on his own... maybe he's not good enough to play up there anyway"

I love Martin O'Neill.

I love how whenever Ronaldo hits the ground Scolari is up in arms.

Is he not supposed to be a good manager or something? Should he not be able to tell it's a terrible dive? :-\

New sport, Pauleta bashing

[Xero Gravity]

Portugal needs more usless pieces of shit like Pauleta.

[Guest muddatrucker]

I had an arguement with a friend about Pauleta, he told me he'd always put him in his Dream team, I guess I'm proving how right I am.

Maybe he meant dream team, as in you must be dreaming team.

Was Abidal in his dream team too? (¬_¬)

Jesus Christ, Marcel Desailly has the most annoying voice EVER.

Fabulous stuff from Henry.

[The Kraig]

Wow, Ricardo is shit. Ribery shot it RIGHT AT HIM and he punched it like a poofter.

Thuram has been particularly awesome today. Kinda shows why the big clubs still want to sign him at his age.
