There is an old saying. Football is a game where twenty two men chase the ball and always Germany wins. And this time they really deserve to win because they play beautifull, offensive, open football.

I look forward to the final Germany vs. France. This would be a fantastic game.

@Will the term soccer is also used in Australia and New Zealand. Football or Footy refers to rugby.

While I really like Football(soccer) I find Rugby (either League or union) to be a more exciting sport to watch. Rugby make soccer players look like pansies

WHAT A MATCH! One of the best of the tournament. I wanted Germany to win, but Italy scored some fantastic goals in the last 2 minutes of extra time.
Well done Italy!

YAY!!!! I have risked the coronary a bunch of times... at the first gol was a real bedlam here! All Italy is a big party now

Well, two (great) golas, a post and a crossbar hit... I'm very satisfied :mrgreen:

I thought I heard that right.

I was on base today and someone made a joke that he was doing better than Germany. [size=9px](You know, "Hey how are ya?" ... ala witty response that follows)[/size] My response was something along the lines of :eh:...

I only got it later on while walking home a few hours ago.

Oh, you poor poor soccer--*ahem* sorry, football fans.

Is it just me or is Carlos T?©vez ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_T%C3%A9vez ), the Argentinian striker, related to Lou_Ferrigno ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Ferrigno ).

The Germans can always try and get their revenge during Euro 2008.

Great performance by Italy, great game, deserved to win.

Disappointing match, France v Portugal, soft penalty milked by Henry, and C. Ronaldo continuing his cheating antics. Sad.

But, best two teams are in the final.

So it is Italy to become the World Champions. During the game it looked that the French are going to win - they were the better team in my opinion, but they were not able to score a goal. It reminds me of a last European Championship final Greece vs. Portugal. The Portugese dominated througout the game, but Greeks won. Same here. Italians defended briliantly. Even if Zidane didn't get a red card, it would have end up with the penalites. And penalties are like a dice roll... Anyone can win.
