World Cup Final BABY!

Last nite, my team played against Portugal & they won! Result: Portugal 0, France 1. What a relief! Cuz the game was oh-so-boring. Both teams played like it was a friendly match. Yeah I understand that they are in a lot of pressure, given Portugal has never been through to the semis let alone winning the world cup ever before. Which made me thinking since they want the title so badly, they might play tremendously. And also the fact that they’ve lost to France in the World Cup for four times, this should give them the motivation to work even harder for they do have the warrior-fighting spirit. But actually France didn’t play well either. Bad passing and lost possession like a hundred times throughout the match. And since the Portuguese didn’t grab the opportunity to score and create a threat at the French expense, the game was awfully and depressingly dull.

Truthfully I think Portugal played better than France as they created a lot of opportunities but no closure. Since France got lucky by leading 1-0 through penalty taken by Zizou, they only concentrated on defense. They protected their goal like a mother protecting her child. Superb work by Thuram and Sagnol who managed to block most of the attempts within the penalty box.

And so they're through to the final & will be up against the Azzuris (the Italian) this Sunday. Hopefully Domenech will teach the French on diving tricks. :P

I know Italy has better chance to win, but I hope that the final match will be entertaining. C'mon People!
