Italy deserved that win. Today's game should be interesting. With the likes of Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and Henry on the field we shouldn't have to worry about overtime. I'd be hard pressed to bet against France though.. too much experience.  |

I don't know if France deserved to win that game but Portugal deserved to lose for their cowardly play throughout the tournament. Taking dives and faking injuries to kill a little time and let your team regroup is one thing, but to do it to try to draw unwarranted cards and break up the opponents run of play is cowardly. I know that other teams do it too, but they seamed to do it significantly more. And now we get to watch Christiano cry on the frield and cry to anyone who will listen about how they got screwed by the refs and how great he is
"'Everyone who saw the match could see that the referee wasn't fair....He should have shown yellow cards but he did not because Portugal is a small country. We just have to carry on working and then we will be a big country....I am a dangerous player. And maybe the French fans were upset to see a dangerous player. I am not worried at all."
Maybe if your team hadn't developed such a bad rep for diving, you would have gotten a few calls - Be a man, you lost, accept it.

OK, so yeah, Ronaldo isn't exactly an, um, classy guy. 
But at least the rest of the boys took the loss like men - not bawling all over the field like some other teams I know...  |

A thug? While his actions were certainly ugly it hardley makes one of the best an most respected players in the history of the game a thug.
Materazzi had been pinching his nipple the entire game, and it would look as if his attempts to distract were quite successful  And Materazzi sold it pretty well!
Perhaps the Italian team can use their winnings to pay their upcomgin legal bills
