Yesterday God was Zizou!

Zizou's France took Brazil apart yesterday. And it was a privilege to witness it live. I never expected France to play so good after the start they had this world cup, and boy they were good. Zizou rocked! and Brazil were left clueless.
Also Portugal are through, anyways England didn't deserve to go any further. Thankfully their dark era is over with the departure of Sven. He could and should have done so much with the talent that he had then play defensive. When one compares the Premiership's pace and attacking nature, I simply fail to understand the defensive game of the English national team esp since all of them play in the Premiership. Gerrad as a defensive midfielder is simply unacceptable!
Germany's match against Argentina was probably the most exciting match of the tournament. The atmosphere was electric at the pub where I was watching and when Klose equalized the German fans just exploded with joy and relief. It's sad that it had to be decided on penalties but I think we deserve to go through.
Italy won too, but who cares.
