- after been called the "old" team, now, the bandwagoners has jump into another ship - FRANCE

- btw, somehow, i hate Henry, the French player - not the Arsenal talisman .. Rivaldo in the making

- the clearly quite fat man scoring three goals in the World Cup and surpassing the all-time record goal scorer... who's the fatty now?

'lucky'?

-ermm.... Don't recall such indignation in 2002 when Italy had a man sent off incorrectly and two goals disallowed against South Korea - everyone then had a good laugh.

-errmm.. before the WC; we had Francesco Totti ruled out for three months with injury, then Zambrotta, Gattuso and Nesta all got injured, On top of that - the unprecedented mess happening in Italy, lucky?

- Note how nobody's talking about the masterful 10-man defensive performance that Italy produced..It's all been totally tainted by the cheating thief who won a 'calcio di rigore'

- lucky? if there was a team that was fortunate during the game it was Australia, who played with 11 men against 10 for most of the second half.. somehow, i remember the Italians having more and the best chances with only 10 men..

talk about lucky - ermm.. did anyone mention about Kewell's goal against Croatia coming from an offside position? dont think so..

apparently, if the "lucky" incident favour the underdog team - it just slip of everyone's mind..

just a thought
