Hey people, check it out:Fat Ronaldo's World Cup Dash Brazil's soccer team has lost to France, and the country blames poor pudgy Ronaldo. But they're giving him one more chance to redeem himself. Help Ronaldo get the soccer ball back to the goal before Argentinan captain Crespo steals it away. Ronaldo will be tempted by junk food along the way, and if he pauses for a snack, it'll slow him down. Fortunately, there are golden sneakers available to help Ronaldo speed up a little. Be sure not to jump over the ball or Crespo will win. Controls: Up arrow to jump, down arrow to duck. Be sure not to miss the soccer ball, or Argentina wins! Help Fat Ronaldo Score!    -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it." (autothrall)

go Italy
forza azzurri
Let me see.... Thierry Henry goes to ground in the penalty box. TV replays show that he outfoxed Carvalho who clearly caught his leg - penalty. Christian Ronaldo fell over in the penalty box - replays clearly show no contact except a gloriously acted belly flop - he should have been booked at the very least.
Miguel fell over close to a French player - Portugese bench goes ballistic insisting it was a foul. Replays show he simply fell over his own two feet and maybe twisted his ankle - he should have been booked as well. What Portugal got was just desserts for being a bunch of play acting cheats. They were never good enough to be in the final and France simply did the minimum necessary on another hot, sticky night in Munich. In case you didn't notice I predicted that Portugal would beat England and we weren't good enough to be in the final either. What sticks in my throat is the callous gamesmanship from Carvalho and Ronaldo that got Rooney sent off, and possibly banned for a few matches. I've watched several replays and it is clear Rooney never intended to step into Carvalho and when he realised someone was there he instantly stepped away. Oh, let's not forget Rooney was fouled at least twice before this incident - the only difference was Rooney stayed on his feet and tried to win the ball. Goes to show what honesty does for you. After that England woke up and had a go at beating them in normal time. Apart from long range shots Portugal never troubled England's defence. -------------------- Hail Santa...

And hopefully, if FIFA actually find some balls (excuse the pun), you'll get sent off for it in the next tournament. Diving is something which European and South American clubs have done for years. Sadly it is becoming prevalent in the English game too. I suppose while it is clear that cheating wins you games and get players sent off then it will continue. It seems to me that FIFA have no desire to stamp out this element of the game which I think is killing it as a spectacle. Which is why I would like to see TV replays used. It's done in rugby and has helped the sport no end. If players are found to be acting up in order to get others in trouble then they should be brought to book, plain and simple. Violent conduct not punished during games has been dealt with after matches - maybe it's time to introduce something similar for diving and other such gamesmanship (sic).Rooney is a gifted but temperamental player. I have seen him lose his discipline several times and it is a side of him that does need to be brought under control otherwise he could find himself sidelined for it. However he was still unfairly dismissed from the field, and will now serve a two match ban for something that was started by play acting and made worse by the antics that followed. In the English league he would have been yellow-carded and that would have been fair enough. -------------------- Hail Santa...

Fuckin' brilliant! After 30 days of footballing, this is what we get for a championship game, er, match??  That is why I hate that sport. A fuckin' kicking contest to decide a champ?!!? What a waste of time. Why not have kickin' contests for the entire 30 days and save us from the "running around aimlessly" and "the falling down and screaming for mommy" anytime someone alledgedly touches a player! I am pissed off! I tried to get into it, however I can't. Forget the free kicks, make them play overtime after overtime until a team scores. Yeah, it'll prolly kill the guys, but aren't they supposedly the "greatest athletes" in the world? I'd watch them play until they puke, it'd be more interesting. What a disgrace! What's next? Baseball having a home run derby instead of a World Series? Not! Also, it was great to see that Frenchie
go 'hooligan' and UFC on that Italiano!
Freakin' sweet! Way to go moron! When your team needed you most, u decide to headshot the opponent. Dammit, it was anti-clamtic and very lame to have to endure, but I tried kids, I really did. Here's hoping Maiden get a team together for the next tournament. Whenever that is?
Stoopid game! Disgusted.  -------------------- theres only so many double kick drum'd songs with singers shouting the F word you can take before it becomes extremely dull.
