Sign Henry up in Hollywood

[MannyIsGod]

And the acting leads to a goal.

[Bob Lanier]

Gooooooooooooooooooal!

[Spurologist]

on the game:
Patrick Vieira was reborn for his 30. birthday! that man will not let france go down!

you are correct Mr. Velik

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Spain on the ropes...

[NASpurs]

Anyone surprised that Spain is choking once again?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No, but I don't want the Frenchmen to advance...

[Spurologist]

So does Henry get an assist on that goal.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn this ending is action packed

[Spurologist]

Barthez showing his 1998 form

[Bob Lanier]

Gooooooooooooooooooal!

[Spurologist]

Zidane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

That was nice. Fitting too.

[NASpurs]

3-1 France

[MannyIsGod]

Man, me picking a team to win is the kiss of death.

[Spurologist]

Puyol is probably the best defender in the world. He will need extra tape on those ankles when the game is done

[velik_m]

Spain out - deja vu?

Upset Special

France 2
Spain 1

I've picked all the winners and one correct score.

For the quarterfinals:

England-Portugal: Probably another physical game. Portugal has the edge in coaching.

Argentina-Germany: Potentially the match of the tournament. Total toss-up.

Italy-Ukraine: Whatever. Italy snakes its way into the semis, where they're destroyed by the winner of Arg-Ger.

Brazil-France: Two veteran teams with lots of experience. Coaching and individual flashes of brilliance from the stars will make the difference. Brazil will be looking to make up for its meltdown in the 98 Final. Fairly even game, with edge to Brazil.

[Petite Française bis]

did you see the provocation of Aragones ???????

3-1 pour la France, mange-ça vieux con

[jcrod]

The two games today were not boring to watch. I was watching it through espn.com, great feed btw. Man Ghana was fast and quick, just couldn't put it in the hole. Soccer players make Divac and Manu look like on flops.

[ALVAREZ6]

damn it.


Spain made me lose money.

[Spurologist]

damn it.


Spain made me lose money.

The easy money was on Brazil

Everyone on this board knows how much I hate Mark Cuban. I hate Aragones three times as much. His ass was caught on camera telling Antonio Reyes (Henry's teammate at Arsenal no less) that "Show that black piece of that you are better than he is" He still denies it. That warrants a direct YOU from me. The punishment of course was pathetic. He was fined pocket change.

Check out this video out. The vidoe is a little fuzzy but you can still see it. It was on Sportscenter a while back. The footage of Aragones is at the end.

I hope Henry scores at least two goals and celebrates in front of Aregones' face and exposes him. I hope ESPN shows that video of him to the entire world to show that racism still exists and these kind of acts can't be tolerated.

@ the guy on the video saying "Americans might find it difficult to understand..."! what a bunch of bull ! The US is FULL of racism, so lets not pretend the "Euros" are doing something Americans know nothing about.

Having said that, Aragones is a piece of , he's always been a piece of .

That's why Mexicans don't even care to try their luck in Europe... people like Hugo Sanchez were bench warmers in Europe before someone finally gave him an opportunity to play... His previous coach was then exposed as a racist fool.
