Allez les bleus! (Is this right? Don't know too much French, although I love it!)

Whatever happened to France today?

Let's hope tomorrow's game between Uruguay-Denmark gives us another surprise! ;)

After several years of sharing a roof with a fan of "the red dynamite" I still feel I must root for DK (sorry Musicqueen). Go vikings!

I felt sympathy for France but enjoyed that Senegal won. I always end up cheering the underdogs.

The bleus are even before started exhausted by the 55 to the 60 season games played in the most famous clubs of europe. I am sure they will reconvene in due time while the senegalais will draw underneath the pitch.

Obviously I hold no flag in this competition because my home team didn't make it to the World Cup. I admidt it is pretty hard for a team that doesn't exist to make it anywhere. I just enjoy the game (the only sport I can watch on TV... well that and figure skating). I am probably the only person -still alive- that cheered BOTH opposing teams in a national finals. :devious:, I admit that it wasn't too smart.

But I do have my sympathies. After 4 years of "brain washing"... I mean education in the AF I feel like blurting out "Allons enfants de la Patrie / Le jour de gloire est arriv? !" every time France plays. Instead I always end up cheering the underdogs. I am a sucker for a happy, fairy tale ending. In the last wold cup I went against my natural instinct of supporting a latin-american country and rooted for France. I couldn't stand Brazil's arrogance.

BTW, DK won. Hihi...

What were those German thinking?! 8-0? This is not basketball.

I went back to bed when it was 4-0 in the first half. The comentator said that the German keeper was the highest paid spectator in the stadium :)

True Brit

Really looking forward to the England game tommrow, will be a bit weird been in the pub at 10.30 in the morning but will make a change.

England is fantastic at the moment, makes me proud to be British. With both the football and the queens jubilee there are flags everwhere. Hope England do well tommrow!!!!!!
