SPAIN-FRANCE DISCUSSION-IN GAME (3pm EST TUESDAY)

[Bennyshoe]

WOW!! What a move on the keeper by Ribery!! 1-1

 

[dmmd98]

Nicely done....pretty goal

 

[Bennyshoe]

I had a feeling Spain was going to get killed on that offsides trap

Goal right before the half. Has gotta make France feel good and deflate Spain.

I was afraid of this...w/ the way the match was going.

Ref - final whistle please. No more GOALS !!!

 

[aceduecetrey]

Could not decide on a side, so I decided to take a prop that Zidane scores and here was/is the motivation.......

that hurt :cryingcry :cryingcry :cryingcry

 

[dmmd98]

hopefully the second half starts like the first one ended

 

[Bennyshoe]

What was tough on that last goal was the keeper had to wait at the edge of the box for Ribery. So he couldn't go out and smother the ball with his hands.

Wow back to an even game but I feel France outplayed Spain in that half.

 

[glenrobinson]

Very nice play so far-

It seems that over 3 is a good bet now.

It seems that over 3 is a good bet now.

One goal on a penalty kick and the other on a breakdown on defense. Be careful here. You'd need two goals to cash.

Watching Brazil play, then watching this game is like watching the Pistons play, then the Hawks play afterward. One team takes the game to another level, the other one(spain) turns the ball over and has no controlled aggression. I'm hoping Spain advances so I can kill the other side in the quarters.

Very observative. That's why Brazil is the defending World Cup Champion and the favorite to win again.

And rightly so. There should be no question that they will win again this year.

 

[wrongturn]

I am expecting the 2nd half has more attacking plays, especially for Spain, because it is really no good for them to wait for penalty shootout. But you are right that scoring is not easy in soccer.

 

[glenrobinson]

France seems to have the edge this half

 

[hm2.0]

I think Spain is on the verge of scoring...I certainly am hoping...but can theydo it in reg. time.

 

[dmmd98]

That is life as a Spainish fan for you

im destroyed....
