Zidane is God!

[MarmotMike]

I just witnessed France defeat England during injury time...

[rockies]

What a kick by Zidane ( I do not mean the penalty kick) and what a comeback by the French.

It reminded me the Champions´league final in 1999 Bayern vs. Manchester.
Football is really the most beautiful sport in the world. Sorry, for everybody of you it is ice hockey, but my sport number 1 is also football. I´d say it is fifty fifty with ice hockey. Let´s go Czech Republic, let´s go!!! Any other football fans here?

[Tigger]

Yes, it seems that ZZ is still on the top I remember that Champions League final too...so if that makes me a fan of football, then i surely am one...

yes, me of course

but i prefer ice hockey

[hungarianfan]

I'm mad about football too!
Let's go Portugal, Italy and Latvia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the players are too tired, the season is too long with too many matches. This tournament will be a bad one.

[Jasmin]

Football is WAY too boring compared to hockey IMO, but I know I´m gonna get hooked like every year before.

I hope Portugal cheers up a bit, forgets the home-crowd-pressure and playes better, I´m rooting for them!

Though I was on England´s side, I have to give some credit to France for taking sucha nice victory... Zidane is really good. *thumbs up*

[Skratch]

Congrats, Body-czech!
We almost upset you. Any comments about the game?
I'm a football fan and player, too. Football was not very popular in Latvia since recent times. I still hope that Latvia will still steal at least a point in Euro2004.

Da Crazy Latvian.

I watched the Czech v Latvia game and i was sweating a bit when Latvia were winning 1-0 for a long spell in the 2nd half,but the Czech pressure paid off with 2 late goals,its gonna be a great battle between Czechs, Germans and Dutch for th top two places.Just watched England beat Switzerland 3-0,2 great goals from Wayne Rooney,he could be a star in this tourney...well the English papers think he is the new God.Looks like the Portuguees may be going out if they dont beat Spain on Sunday,that will be some game also.Even though i picked Italy to win Euro 2004,i hope that Sweden with the mighty Henrik Larrsson beat them like true Vikings

Hi Scratch!
Thanks, it was a very hard game. I must say I didn´t expect it. I didnt think either that it will be an easy game 4-0 or something. I would be naive. The Latvians played very well, concentrated and very disciplined. The game sometimes resembled a handball game, but what other thing they should have played? This was a good strategy from the coach. It was very difficult to penetrate the wall of the latvian bodies, and when we found a small space for a shot, the shot was blocked. The game costed us a lot of energy. I hope we´ll do well against Holland, and then against Germany. I wish Latvia tore some point from Holland or Germany - it is not impossible, if they will play so concentrated and disciplined football.
Heil football, the beautiful game.

Nazdraví, Body-czech !

Excellent game vs the Dutch! It would be nice to send both NED and DEU home on Wednesday...
;D

Skratch the footballer.

yesterday was very good game with Germany but the luck wasn't in our side and we doesn't score... but game was good.

"Zidane is God!" exclaimed a soccer fan.
"He may be, but do you know who's Satan?" replied a hockey fan.
