Portugal or France ?? Jul 05, 2006
As a brit.. who do I support in the game tonight?

a) Portugal, who rudely kicked out England the other night through various stinky cheating tactics (we'll leave the penalties out if you don't mind).

or,

b) France.. England's old enemy who'll be completely insufferable with their heads up their own a$$es if they get much further.

Ooo.. the dilema, who should I support? .. state your cases :wink:

Im so glad that Portugal is out... :lol:

But the game was quite boring when compared to the Italian/German match.

I just hope the frogs pull up their socks for the finals...I'll support them as long as Zidane plays

I'll support our Gallic friends over the channel even though I'm in old blighty, let's just hope the Italians find the football team and stop playing the olympic 'diving' squad...........

harsh but justified?

France, well Zidane in particular, deserves to win another world cup, and who could deny Henry a World Cup winners medal too (he missed out in 1998).

I have supported France since Ivory Coast and Tunisia my two African teams were shown the door..so I will most definently support them in Finals... Zidane, Viere, Thurman and Makelele all deserve to go out like the champions.

I was a very disappointed Tunisia given they had one of the easiest groups given to African team. They couldn't beat Saud Arabia and they beat Ukrain who are weak teams considered the competition Ivory coast when up against... Holland, Argentina and Serbia MOntenegro who qualified ahead of Spain in their Euro qualifiers. If Ivory Caost the best African team were put in the Tunisian group or the Togo or Angolians or Ghana group they would have easily made through to the second round. Ivory Coast is hands down the best African team followed by Senegal, Morroco who lost to Tunisia by luck, Nigeria, Ghana and I think Tunisia, South Africa and Egypt are all tie...but they are not as good as those five teams.

1. Ivory Coast
2. Nigeria
3.Senegal
4. Ghana
5. Cameroon
6. Morroco
7. Egypt
8. Tunisia
9. South Africa
10. Algeria



Liban Asia cannot challenge Africa when it comes to soccer...hell some of the best players in the world are or African by origine.

Drogba( Ivory, after henry he is the best striker i the World)

Sammuel Eto( One the best players in the World)

Mustafe Hadji( Morrocan, retired)

Jawad Zairi(Morrocan, upcoming talent)

Kolo Toure(Ivory, one the best defender in the World)

Arouna Kone(Ivory, Upcoming talent)

Michael Essien( Ghana, top mid fielder in the World)

Stephen Appiah(Ghana, amazing mid fielder)

Sulley Ali Muntari( Ghana, Up coming talent)

Nwankwo Kanu( Nigeria, )

Obafemi Martins( Nigeria, Top Mid fielder in one of the best leagues in the World, Seria A)

Ahmed Hossam Aka Mido( Egypt, an upcoming talent)

Emmanuel Adebayor( Togo, up coming talent)

other African descend include the greatest footballer of all time..

Zidane( originally Algerian, Will go down as of the best to play the game)

Christian Viere(originally Senegalese, Is without a question a top 10 player of all time)

Makelele( Originally Zaire, No does what he does better than him)

Khalid Boulahrouze(Originally Morrocan, but plays for Holland)

To be honest, I really hope the Italians do it. They have played the better football. France are very lucky to even be here, having said that, some will argue, so the Italians, but they had the better game v the Krauts, played better football and against better opposition.

yorky - very biased against those yellow bellied frogs! hehehehe
