Title: Who's gonna be Champ?
Post by: §ãJ¡Ð ساجد on July 02, 2006, 07:10:55 AM: I've hidden the results until the simifinals are over :biggrin

Let's see how your prediction tallys the real outcome?

Will the majority win or will we see another upset?

Post by: SalD on July 03, 2006, 09:50:22 AM: Well I am going to go for PORTUGAL now! They seem to be the smallest country left (I think...?? - not too clever at geography!) and we do love an underdog!

Post by: AstonDialo on July 03, 2006, 11:26:36 AM: I hope Geramany wins it..
Being the host for the games,and having the advantage of a home crowd behind them,
But it's going to be a tough match against the Italians with all that diving happening.

Yeah, it would be nice to see Portugal win ..... their first cup win, etc ..... but, I think it is going to be very tough ..... France is on a roll, and Zidane seems to be playing like he did in 1988 .... when he plays like that, no one stops him or France ..... What a comeback for them, compared with their group games ..... I think they will go alll the way.

They have the team with the most flair and dash now that Argentina is out ...... :(

Further proof that soccer requires more skills than just kicking a round ball.

Post by: SalD on July 05, 2006, 12:27:34 AM: Well... looks like that scuba diving gear really helped the Italians through. They beat Germany! Agh! I didn't watch the game so can't really comment... been watching Le Tour de France... anyone else? It is amazing what these guys put themselves through during this race!

Post by: §ãJ¡Ð ساجد on July 06, 2006, 04:56:35 AM: Here is the results as far as the Semi-Finals!

Germany - 5 votes
France - 3 votes
Portugal - 1 votes
Italy - 0 votes

Sorry, messed up the poll as I wanted to reset and shortlist the teams for the final, but it seems that it does not allow the date of the poll to be extended. However the result here are correct as far as the semi-finals

You can compress it to a zip file via Winzip available from http://www.winzip.com (http://www.winzip.com) as Zip files are suppurted in this forum. Furthermore using the maximum compression in winzip's option will make the file smaller and faster to transmit

You sure the aussies need an excuse????
I seem to remember one gentleman by the name of Steve Waugh who was in high dudgeon because he had been slighted by another gentleman by the name of Saurav Ganguly ...... you couldn't talk to Stevie about the series without him getting off on how shabbily he (and his team) had been treated ........ one would have thought that one was playing England that time!!!!!! :biggrin

Well, if there is any diving on a cricket field, it is only to save some runs ..... and no penalties are ever awarded. So, we are that much ahead of the footies ..... think about it, Miaki ..... you may get to love this boring game, allright!!! :biggrin
Title: Re: Who's gonna be Champ?
Post by: §ãJ¡Ð ساجد on July 10, 2006, 09:21:53 AM: I think Italy deserved the penalty in the beginning of the game! as it was also a hoax on France's part. (Payback of the Aus. match)

As far as Zidane's headbutt foul is concerned; I think since he is famous for his headbutt goals, he just had the urge to headbutt something! :wink Maybe he should join WWE now that his Football career is over :biggrin

That Zidane kicks butt, but he didnt headbutt that italian player hard enough to send him crying home to mother.

1 tequila, 2 tequila more..........headbutt those italians down!!.
