How would that not change the pace of the game? Play isnt supposed to stop unless there is a foul or the ball is out. Buzz the center ref after the review? What if a goal is scored? That is a horrible idea.

I do like the idea of finding out who dives a lot and then giving them verbal warnings and increasing the penalty if they keep up that behavior.

WdnUlik2no

Damn, wow... what an opportunity...

subinf

well portugal just botched that golden chance.

subinf

how many times are they going to mention that ronaldo is 21?

WdnUlik2no

damn, sooo close.

WdnUlik2no

as many times as they mention that the winner plays Italy.

I'm convinced Ronaldo is on the ground more then he's standing...

I'm sure its probably hard to keep a dialogue for the entire game. I sometimes think maybe I am being a little harsh on the announcers, but shit, its their job to talk and make this interesting, not to repeat useless crap like his age.

My favorite quote from one of the brazil games..."brazil was a little sluggish their first game, a sign of a truly great team."

I wish more games were on while I'm here at work. At least I don't have to listen to these terrible announcers.

I wish I spoke fluent Spanish - I'd watch all the games on the Spanish channels. These announcers always suck.

subinf

I want the BBC to have a feed.

Always Dirty

I was actually just thinking that it might be worth learning spanish over the next 4 years. Univision's halftime shows are always better anyway. :boobies:

Always Dirty

Wow - that was a stupid yellow.

WdnUlik2no

Damn that was it...

subinf

that would have been sweet if the keeper scored on that kick

WdnUlik2no

What a minute, was that the GK I saw??

juniorbean

subinf

WdnUlik2no

TheThirdMan

Vive La France!!

subinf

juniorbean

Well, looks like I'll be watching some soccer Sunday. Hopefully it rains so I don't feel bad about staying inside

danny25

he put on Figo's (inside out)

FastAcura

Euro 2000 final revenge?

fdl

I hope so. That was a bitter defeat for Italy with France scoring the tie in injury time and winning in overtime

Anyways, I'm glad France won today. Ya its france, but fuck it I'd rather watch Zidane play than Figo or Ronaldo. I hate the way portugal plays. Every team dives, but portugal dives THE MOST

Always Dirty

I'm going to have to ready an azzurri uniform for my avatar before the game.

Jonesi

wtf.... :shakehead

Jonesi

Well from the last 20 minutes that I saw I must say it was pretty intense..

Portugal had plenty of chances..

They almost saved that PK too..

Can't ask for a better matchup in the Finals..

Sunday will be a hell of a game.

You forgot to mention his expertise -- diving

BstonBruin

There is a reason as to why he is one of the games greatest young stars. He creates so many opportunities for his teammates and for himself to get shots off. If you ever watch the EPL and Man U. you'll quickly realize what great talent he has. And lets not forget he is just 21. I think the diving is something he'll definitely grow out of.
