rednaz23: friend of mine does it every year here on lanzarote. he got kind of addicted to it i think and says that it isnt easy to stop the training routine. he started with this four years ago.

if they get one goal, the portuguese, lets see if they can recover and strike back... that was, in history at least, always the problem of strong portuguese teams... . they might lose their self-confidence after a french goal...

sorry... unfortunately it may be only a 3:1 during the panalties... (if i was able to change the rules, i would modify the panalty shooting to an "extended version" of all players that are still in, not just 5... ;-))) )

germany vs. france will be the final.

there, history will be repeated: france with a comfortable 2-goal-lead in extra time. germany strikes back, 2 goals in min113 and min118 (oliver neuville, marcel janssen) and, of course, a clear 5:1 in the penalty-shooting!

someone wanna bet??? ;-)

dont blame him - he didnt get any chance... - portuguese defense was too stable

yesss...

but...

he kisses the ball

now or never...

hehehe

its all a gamble... ;-))

the same person can do the second penalty as soon as all "legal" players did it once... . he isnt allowed to stop. needs a fluid motion. i, personally, dont think its stupid. the players have to know that this is the final possibility in order to encourage them to do it within the nowmal and/or extra time.

maybe they need a new goalie for the penalties...??? ;-))

well, then you saw some unsporty argentinians yesterday?! - and the italians are effective and stable but somewhat heartless. think germany will take profit out of the special atmosphere combined with a grown self-consciousness...

hehehe... or is it cause you dont want to face the germans in any final? heartbeat for brazil or so, eh?????

you wouldnt? well, i will... how ´bout it? dont think the italians will have any chance...

...and those teams of course need some extra time for recreation if they really want to beat germany in a final... ;-)))

youre right... ;-) - well, all good for brasil or france...

yep...
we will watch a nice final between france and germany... ;-))
