If I don't get my football back,
I'm going to get my dad on you.
I only knocked it over the fence,
And broke a silly gnome or two.
And so here it is. Match 64. The championship. And it's a battle of two European powers. Italy has three World Cups to its credit (1934, 1938, and 1982) and France has one (1998).
I could write a lengthy preview, but I'll just link to my brother's since he knows more about this stuff and he gets paid for things like this.
Italy has given up just one goal in the whole tournament and that was an own goal against the USA. France has given up just two (against Korea and Spain). But the Swiss didn't give up any goals and they went home after the Round of 16!
The Italians have scored 11 goals and by 10 different players. Germany leads the tournament with 13 goals. France has scored 8 goals.
As for the all important Griddle Team Togo t-shirt contest, it's down to just two contestants. Penarol1916 wins the shirt if France wins. Minxtscore wins it if Italy wins. And as someone supposedly told Queen Victoria when she asked who finished second to the schooner "America" at the race around the Isle of Wight back in 1851, "Madam, there is no second."
Personally, I think this match is going to end early when a lady yells from her window, "¡José! ¡A casa!"

Who's Tyskland?
do they have some sort of info we don't? All i know is if i don't win the Togo shirt, i'm treating myself to one of those suckers.
I hang my head in shame.
It really does.
Really.
As they would say at Edwards AFB when they were flight testing, "Looks like he screwed the pooch!"
Keep going ...
It's all Ken's fault!
So did I. I turned the TV on quickly just in case. I don't understand why they make it different than all the others (including yesterday)
It's not paranoia if they are really after you.

I think I had a ticket for their concert once at the Wiltern.
Be careful of that application. It's a Siren that's going to draw you in to the rocks.
Too many painful memories.
Yes, that happened in 1994 when Brazil won PKs after a scoreless draw with Italy.
I sweated a lot through that match at the Rose Bowl.
Stop playing before it's too late!
But for a different reason than most people.
And if you were only 9 in 1985 weren't you 18 in 1994?
50 The Italians are always offsides. Always.
[quietly sobs]
Who else?
Tottenham Hotspur.
Bill Clinton was such a good president that there will never be another President #42.
Of course, Franklin Pierce was so good that they retired #14.
I general, I suspect you're right, though I happen to be watching both.
Though I guess Barthez bobbling the ball doesn't matter here.
hope Brock is OK.

Three Cheers for Bob Timmermann...Hip Hip

Hello?
Couldn't hear the ABC commentary where I was so I would like to know if the American's jaws dropped sufficiently at the head butt to allow Zidane's jock to slip out. :)
And I too would like to commend Bob on his fine Cup coverage. Even if I was not around to partake in the ongoing discussion I would always stop by after the game. Great stuff as expected.
As for O'Brien and Balboa they both were stunned at Zidane's head-butt and both agreed that he deserved a red card and they were both stunned.
Of course, prior to that, he was St. Zenedine.
"that was a vicious, vicious foul!"
"VICIOUSSSSS!"
107:
or do you think it was a clever comment about Zidane's lack of hair?
