Actually the bird on the french shirts is a rooster.
It was formulated to take care of that tired old rooster hanging out on the farm. Classic. I need a rooster, some Burgundy, and a pot. Don't skimp on the wine and don't follow any recipe that doesn't take a couple of days. Otherwise go get a Big Mac or Royal with cheese. :D
There are some semi pro AND pro leagues in the us. But no one watches them, at least not in huge numbers. We are too preoccupied with Hockey, Football (NFL), Baseball, and Basketball. We have a "soccer" team here that is still going and perhaps growing a little. The Colorado Rapids a team in the Major Soccer League.

They just got a new stadium so they must not be doing too bad in fan turnout. But compare that to the imense I refuse to say Invesco Field at MILE HIGH. Where they share the field.

No matter what they have on their shirts (it's a rooster indeed), I just saw a brilliant French team kick some Spanish butt... Zidane was brilliant, Ribery was pure genius, and if Henri can avoid off-side situations, they'll send the Brazilians home, too (and if they play like they played against Ghana, they'll be humiliated).
Just finished watching that game as well, Brazil will eat France alive, I'm dissapointed in Henry as he play's for the gunner's and the way he dived made me ill, hate seeing teams lose because of stupid calls (Australia). :mad:
Are we talking about the same thing here? France versus Spain? Where Spain got a dubious penalty goal?
negative the penalty was justified even the french commentaters agreed with it and that takes some doing. Having said that it was a good match and france deserved the win this time.
Yep same game, Henry on the replay clearly dived and drew the free kick which set up the second goal, if they hadn't of scored that one I am willing to bet Spain would have prevailed.Quote:

Anyhow for Spain I think they had a better tournament and deserved to go through more then the French did.They have some young talent and will be a team to watch in the coming years, France are getting old and tired and it's no longer 98...
Oh and the penalty awarded Spain was the right call..
I shouldn't have called it dubious, because it was indeed justified. I only brought it up because dalek brings up Henry's dive and in one breath mentions teams loosing because of stupid calls when Spain's only goal came from a silly penalty (it was a dumb French mistake in a phase that would never have led to a goal). A lot of the opinions in this thread seem to be based more on the country than on the team... I saw a very decent France, and a great, fair game - I didn't see a great Brazil earlier today...
neg you shouldn't be suprised about that it is fashionable to slam france regardeless.
What's the difference then between stupid and silly?, either way a call made by a referee resulted in a game being decided on a foul, the Australian one I mentioned was clearly a non-call, Italy gets off scott free on that one, the Spanish penalty kick was right, Henry's dive was wrong, what am I missing here?Quote:

The game Saturday between Brazil and France will be a rematch of sorts, but I'm putting the odds with Brazil...
And if I am "slamming France" it's because they played a terrible tournament, and are plain lucky to be this far, period. ;)
