The World Cup is coming to a close. Many teams gave their best but just did not make it. Of the many that got booted out were Brazil and England.
I always liked to watch the Brazilian team play. It was like they were doing their samba on the field. They were passionate about their game. Even when the teams stood for their respective national anthems to play, you could see the Brazilian players actually singing their anthem. Some African teams just stood there, rigid and looking 'woody' almost as if they were afraid of being shot if they moved. But anyway, the French played better with Zidane and his teamates which saw the Brazilians being 'kicked' out.
The English on the other hand seemed to not do well on penalty shootouts. England was the favourite with many from our country. This is probably because we are so familiar with their players after watching so many English League games. But they seemed to have too many injured star players on their team. Some one had to win and so Portugal gets to go into the semi-final to meet France while Germany will take on Italy. I think the French have a good chance of winning this World Cup. Anybody has other opinions?

I suppose you have your mantras on standby also .... hehehe. I think Roger has a very good chance of taking it. Even Agassi hinted this during the interview after he lost to Nadal.
Didn't the brazilian play the wrong strategy? What happened to their usual aggressive attacking style?
They were too busy doing the samba or else all the talk about their superior brand of football got to their heads. The French have become their nemesis now.
