espn @ 2:55pm.ah hope france win,ah cyar handle italy winnin de final,ah doh tink figo and de boys could beat italy.
-
Stranger things have happened in football. Is de same thing dey was saying bout Argentina in 1978. Because dey had no so called pedigree...dey was de under dogs all de way to de final ...next thing yuh know Kempes hoisting trophy.
Portugal remind meh of de same situation. Holland supposed to beat dem...England supposed to beat dem...hell Mexico was supposed to beat dem...but dey still there. They have been stingy like de Italians. Only one goal given up. Dey are a very mobile team and dey getting back their starters. De five man midfield will not give Zizou as much room. The problem is he doh need much to operate.
Deco, Ronaldo and Figo is a serious midfield too. I feel Veira have to have a good game as well. Henri go be looking to run at Nuno Valente who a lil slow, short and susceptible to changes of pace. Van Persie had he like a puppet on a string and Lennon shake he arse up a few times too.
Anyway ah backing de underdog. I from ah underdog country so I know what it must mean to de Portuguese people. Fuh France and Italy, is jes another feather in dey cap. Ah doh want to join de crowd dat thinking - How dare Portugal win this thing? Dem eh have no football history. Man who eh even born in a country dat win a WC turning up dey nose...steups. I does always hope dat somebody new comes through like a Cameroon or even a South Korea jes to show dem Soccer Powers dat dis is not a monopoly.
Really and truly, I was hoping for a long shot like Portugal vs Germany in de Final. Either one woulda make meh happy.
-
Yes Portugal for me breds.I know It will be tough against the French but I am an underdog man..cheers.
-
PUT EEEEE GAL!!!
-
Yeah man ill b cheerin for d underdogs, Portugal cud do it...cmon fellas :beermug: :beermug:
-
Ah cheerin' for Portugal- Deco & Scolari are the last two Brazilians left in the cup....so I with them.
-
Ah cheerin' for Portugal- Deco & Scolari are the last two Brazilians left in the cup....so I with them.
but then France is de team with the last two West Indians in de cup ;D
i doh mind if either win but I have the edge on France
-
Hey, hey, hey!
Allyuh have to support all de trinis left in the world cup. Patrick Viera is married to a trini, dat make him trini by marriage. For dat alone, France should get de trini support ;D
But also, I wanna see Zizou go out in style. This is de man's last international campaign, he deserves at least a shot at that trophy.
And last, but not least. Thierry Henry...va va voom. Dat's meh boy, Arsenal is meh team. I want France to go to the finals!
-
FRANCE FRANCE FRANCE FRANCE
take a good guess who I backing ;D
This job getting on my nerves, trying to get shit done early so I could watch the game , but morons flicking me around. Hope to be done by 2:30....wish me luck :o
-
Ah like France for this game.

France all the way.
-
Everybody saying France can't score goals in the Tournament. Yet France have more goals than Portugal. France have a style similar to the old Italian way. Solid defending and counter attack football. Though since the bust up in the dressing room, Zidane has been given a free role and now they look rejuvenated, yet they remain stingy at the back. Bartez is my big concern I eh like him but to be fair he has been solid.
Portugal it would be nice for them simply because they bring a new face. I am not sure they can handle France midfield and the big question will Figo once again pull a "Copperfield" when his team needs him most. They are a nice team and a Deco they have a magician Lets just have another great game of football. Because after yesterday sweetness, I eh feeling for something sour
-
Yow I backing France since 1986............yipe.....long time and I can say it is rollercoaster ride . I hope Zizou go out with a BIG bang for 2006
Vive Vive....Oui Oui

Common Zidane,doh let meh change meh sig.

A real flop there.
-
like iz dive fuh dive
-
and now Ronaldo dive too!
steups!
-
GOOO FRANNCEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Dive fuh dive who getting de grammy?
-
What a dive, sure cavalho made contact but he dive no arse!
agreed....top class flop..This ref cyah decide what a dive is and what is not.
-
Dis agree i think it was a foul, not major but he dd take the leg out
-
For those that didnt know
This is the same ref from the Italy v USA game :-\
-
like iz dive fuh dive
hmm, Henry got tackled, but he fell down in 5 monthly installments didn't he!?? :rotfl:
-
I dont think it was a dive either. Good call by the ref i think . !
-
henry like he don't want the ball at all. Moulda just cropos and the man eh attack the ball, When it wide he not getting in the penalt area. The man like he don't want to play, he not even trying to loss he opponent
-
Dis agree i think it was a foul, not major but he dd take the leg out
he dove way after contact was made.....
-
what game allyuh watching?lens crafters selling plenty glasses.
-
dive, dive, dive!
-
So far Portugal are the more cohesive team, and Ronaldo is the main attacking star on the field.
-
i ent care wat tt say, i want portugal out, fed up of dem blowing de damn horn and showing off, ah glad if dey go home :beermug:
-
dem men real focused dred....half of dem not even singing de anthem.....pressah
licks ah not sure about Portugal, but Spain actually eh have no words to dey anthem if you could believe dat. Dey does just hum along to the music :rotfl:
ah think but not sure is d same for Portugal as well...anybody know for sure?
-
I think it was a foul whether Henry dived or not. Ah mean the man in the box and this ref don't look like he giving any soft penalties so nothing wrong with that. It should be an issue if Henry wasn't touched. Portugal going to score 3 in the second half.
-
fellas...picture u french...or bete4r yet let we say dat is trinidad playin in a semifinal and we get a dive u complainin???
-
de man make the contact and Henry make the most of it. dive or not a foul was committed.
-
If that little bit of contact is a foul then the game of football can't go a minute without the referees whistle. The contact did not hinder Henry which is what I think would have made it a foul. He felt the contact, realised he would not have gotten the ball and dived.
Portugal have been diving and acting whole tournament so I have no sympathy for them.
-
de man make the contact and Henry make the most of it. dive or not a foul was committed.
exactly.
-
Dive fuh dive who getting de grammy?
ah tink de grammy is music...unless dey divin in time wit de drum beat
-

nah TT is only cuz is slow motion it look like the contact wasn't that much, but Henri put a nice cutback on the man and if he didn't get kick woulda have a clear shot at goal, in the box (Henri doh throw way those).... so yeah, he mighta flail he arms lil bit, and maybe if he really, really wanted to he coulda stumble and keep he balance. But carvalho did unfairly deny the man a clean shot on goal in the box - penalty.
-
De portuguese defender did catch him. That I'll admit. But Henry felt the contact 2 hours later and decided to fall :devil:
He watched the referee while falling too. hmmm lol
-
that was not a dive.....the defender left his non tackling foot trailing ...that is why the ref called the foul...it wasn't a serious foul but it was a foul in the box....PENALTY
-
Portugal deserve to loose dem jackass keep throwing dung themselves for nothin..
I felt de penalty was good.. That was a sure goal if the defender foot didnt touch Henry..
warmonga..

Whether we like it or not, football reflects everything good in life, and everything bad in life too.
So like life there are cheats, so it is in football.
Unless you introduce trial by video, and start to ban and fine players after a committee judges that a player has dived, maliciously fouled or committed any other ungentlemanly act, then we gonna keep having things the way they are.
Henry was disgraceful against Carlos Puyol
Owen dived against Argentina,
Ronaldo (Brazil) was a disgrace against France
Steven Gerrard dived against Hungary
the list can go on and on.

While we have some time let me start some talk.
Will Henry always be remembered as a club footballer. I don't want to hear he can't play with Zidane and all that media hype. Because when Zidane did retire it was not like Henry was lighting up the field. he is a professional and he should adapt, even without Zidane is not like he created goals for himself. Henry for me look ordinary, even when he does get the ball, he can't seem to beat nobody unless he push and run. Even his passing and creativity lacking badly.
My verdict "Club Baller"

check out my previous posts on the subject matter, Padnah. Some men was trying to rupture my appendix because I say he dosn't come up big in the big games for club and country. I was telling men that all of France's successes came on the backs of a few core players (including, but not limited to Zidane) that did not necessarily include Henry, and men was ating like I cuss dey mudder! One thing He does do for france: He wins free-kicks and penalties.......even if he dives for them!
-
I think the Arsenal system is better suited to him, and he is required by them more to be a leader.....
Henri didn't look very good at Juve, (Juve is a club).....so to say he's a club baller might be oversimplifying it. He definitely thrives more in the English league playing for Arsenal. I dunno if it's a matter of quality, but probably a matter of role and style.
-
obviously his record at Arsenal speaks for itself but in World Cup level - where international appearance really counts - he has 5 or 6 goals (incl. 1998). Numerous assists. Not too bad considering he not done yet.
I really feel if Robert Pires was playin for the nat'l team Henry would be more effective b/c those two have a great understanding when playing together.
-
Not all contact constitutes a foul. Part of the problem with these referees is that maybe 99% of them either never played the game, or never played it enough to know the difference between a real foul or a dive. Clearly some of the folks posting on this site are in the same position, but, that's ok. These football players nowadays play for contact more than they play to win the game on their own merits, and Thierry Henry is FAST becoming another one of those types of players. While he DID put a BRILLIANT move on Carvalho, he MADE A MEAL out of the contact made, simply because it was the type of contact that, had he fallen like a sniper victim (like he did) he knew the ref would call it. Carvalho made contact, but it wasn't enough to hinder Henry. Henry was able to plant his leg after contact was made, so he definitely shouldn't have "collapsed" the way he did. He fell as if he had his feet taken out from beneath him. Guess he had a sex change after the Champions' League final!
Defenders can no longer slide or skate-tackle a forward any more, because players like Henry, Ballack, Robben, Totti and many others, no longer push the ball past the defender and skip over him like they used to in the good old days. They make sure they drag one of their feet in order to create contact and make like the defender just snapped his spinal cord! The man that suggested that he could see how the ref in the Australia-Italy game "could give that penalty" really need to learn the game a little bit more, with all due respect.
-
Its a dive if yuh playing small goal in the park but at that level, it is norm. The fact is that the defender lifted his other leg and it hit Henry. As far as I remember hand ball was the only call that uses the player's intention as factor in the decision. In the process of tackling the player lifted the other leg and it happen to hit Henry. It may be true to say that that tackle could not have brought down Henry but everyone knows if you don't make the fall you won't get the call. Henry had every right (as a player) to go down. I don't even like France and I would have to say that it was a good penalty.
-
As has been proven from the World Cup Qualifiers until now: France is nothing without Zidane. Henry is a little overrated...........he seems to be most effective getting "fouled" than doing anything else, even though he has scored three goals in this tournament, two of them critical..

For my English friend, Kenwyne Jones and Cornell Glen in the last match Vs Paraguay!
You happy, give you good consolation now??? ???
jeeze ::)
-
Henry was fouled in the box otherwise he was free and clear to rip a shot in the Vs after de wicked cut-back. Either way France would have scored.
-
Henry is shit, hes never did anything for Arsenal, never anything for france, hasn't done anything this WC and he didnt do anything against brazil, but I was told by someone on this board he would never score against such a team and he didnt ;)
Well I hope everybody feels good now : ;D
-
Henry play like Stern(when we not playing USA or Mexico) today. No effort, no intensity. Somehow for Arsenal he seems more energized. Could be his role though. Still, the man has a tremendous reputation, you can't fault that.
Personally, I find his game is too limited. Lacks ball control.

If it's a dive when yuh playin' small goal in the park, Padnah, then it's a dive when yuh playing big goal for all the marbles in a big stadium. The core rules of football don't change no matter where you play and who you play in front of. If "....Henry had every right as a player to go down....." Just because there was contact, then to me, he is cheapening the game of football. He landed on his feet after contact was made, and if, as others have suggested, Henry could have and would have gone on to score anyway, then that is what he should have done. I'm sure most of us would have rather seen him keep the game beautiful by displaying all the abilities he gets so much credit for and score the goal than letting Zidane finish it with a cheap penalty.

Did not say he can't shoot or dribble, or "can't finish to save his life". Those are your words not mine. His first touch to me is too often off...hence lacks ball control (my words).

What is your definition of "World Class?"
-
the man is not shit........but i feel if another striker gets the chances he gets.... they will put away more......
he will score 17 goals a season but will throw away 50 to get that 17.
i would put him back on a wing and let him run at players then cut inside and feed the ball to a striker.

Did not say he can't shoot or dribble, or "can't finish to save his life". Those are your words not mine. His first touch to me is too often off...hence lacks ball control (my words).
Im laughing because.......... nah forget it :rotfl:
-
Henry play like Stern(when we not playing USA or Mexico) today. No effort, no intensity. Somehow for Arsenal he seems more energized. Could be his role though. Still, the man has a tremendous reputation, you can't fault that.

Lacks ball control :rotfl: yuh joking
Henry is shit, agree with the man, yuh know its right ;D
Again...your words, not mine.
Henry is the crappest striker alive, yuh know, I know it and mih tanty knows it ;)

Dive yes and once again a half arse penalty decide a game in favour of a historical team of pedigree. De thing I go remember most bout dis WC is de inept refreeing. Brazil gift offside goal vs Ghana. De Crouch hair pull. Phantom penalties against Australia and now this. Blatant penalties should be called in de knock out stage especially...not dem thing that go have controversy. Is like de penalty England get vs Cameroon a few years back. It seems like when yuh come to de WC and play with de big boys, yuh have to deal with de refs too. Arks Avery John and Sancho. Big team suffer too. In de German game man get fowl in de box, ref bring de ball out de box and give free kick. When will it end? Blatter talking about two ref...something ah mentioned jes a few days ago. We go see.

Henry is proving he is a great player at all levels. People forget that Henry is playing off fumes right now, and has adapted very well to a role that is quite different from how he plays for Arsenal. At this stage the wold cup is all about fight and grit. His touch is bound to be a little off. Even Zidane was not at his best today. He does excel for Arsenal more than for France. That system is built around him. France is built around a slower ryhthm that Zidane orchestrates. But which 'world class' strikers have bettered Henry in this tournament. He has 3 goals in six games for France and is playing up top by himself. He is also a hybrid...a winger converted to a striker. So one should never expect him to be the most clinical finisher...not that he is too shabby at that. But he is a handful. Name a defender who does not get nightmares about having to mark Henry. He is having a tremendous WC. Only Klose has scored more goals but more importantly...no striker playing up top by himself has scored as many goals as he has. All 3 of his goals were crucial. The first in a 1-1 tie with Korea. The second in a 2-0 win against Togo (France had to win by 2 clear goals to even stand a chance to go through, remember) and the goal against Brazil. And he has made assists as well. Anyone who thinks Henry's contribution to France this WC is short of exceptional just doesn't like his style...and will probably never like his style. But I bet you even the great Zidane sees Henry as a fanastic player for France. Like I said...he has looked far better and sharper than many so called World class strikers and all the strikers who have played in that lone striker role this WC ahve looked like crap, except Henry...
anyhow..I doh even like him that much. But I have to give props where props are due

Where the football expert who was going on about how great he is...steups.

Some ah allyuh crazy yes.
Just for France the man play 84 games and score 36 goals and in the earlies ah lot of those games were not even as a striker. He is a converted striker. LOL allyuh is kicks. That is just about ah goal every other game...ironically how many games he play this World Cup and how many goals he score ??? On his own up front
Doh even mention Arsenal stats :devil:

Dutty: Well its crappy stew but not as crap as henry, never had the guts to tell her ;D
Socafan: yeah big baby ::) like grande man said I was being sarcastic, anyone who was on during last years Champions League games would know that I am a big ARSENAL fan, yuh know anybody else who would leave their house 7 im the morning and wait 2 hours for a arsenal ticket in the snow at 13? ;D
Any Arsenal Fan who says Henry is shit and is serious has a problem if they disagee and say they think other players are better (e.g sheva at chelsea) fair enough.
Everyone knows Henry isnt as good for France as he for Arsenal but don't people think he is instructed to do different things for France? Remember that Arsenal he is captain so hes at least got to look mobile to movtivate other players, English & CL football is different. The guy has still got an achilles injury and score 3 goals in 5 games (one against brazil) but he still get cuss out all the time,LOL ;D If he doesnt score in the final, 3 goals in 6 games is a good return. If you say he didnt score against the big teams ***cough Brazil cough*** well he can only score against what he & the team is put against.
***Waits for the onslaught of cussing saying all I say is caca ;D, let this try and be my last post so people dont end up hating me **dodges stones on way out **;D***

I agree wit dis view dat ref against small country.
-
Yes he made a meal of the challenge, but only a fool would say that it was not a foul.
The man cut back on Carvallho and trip over Carvallho's trailing leg. It was a clear foul.
If that was stern john against john terry ah wonder what some ah alyuh woulda say.
The referee was smart enough to know that it was not a blantant foul because he didnt even give carvallho a card!!
But nevertheless, it still was a foul in the box........and a justified penalty.
ah love it!!

I find it amazing that anyone, anywhere in the world, who knows anything about football could criticise Thierry Henry.
Great Player, Great Goal Scorer, Great Ambassador for the game.

That is old talk. Henry was fouled, you cannot be half pregnant. If it happened in midfield the ref would have called a foul. Its not the degree of foul or part of the field it happens in, its a foul. Penalty. Now you throw in Liniker vs Cameroon are you mad it was a foul, so its a penalty. Let me ask you, you talking about Brazil offside, how many calls we have see in WC 2002 where good goals were disallowed Spain Korea, Italy Korea. It has always been that way. Think back good of any World Cup and you will se human error 74,78,82,86 go on and on

A foul is very subjective. Football is a contact sport. Not every piece of physical contact is a foul. In layman's terms, to my understanding, a foul should consist of physical contact that impedes the player without (or before) making contact with the ball......
In the case of Henry, I don't think the physical contact was impeding. Henry chose to take the flop......He fell long after being touched. For the referee however, it was probably too close to call so he had to to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he wanted to, Henry could have stayed on his feet. I almost want to say that if that play took place at the half line, he probably would have stayed on his feet and continued playing.
You can be fouled & dive at the same time......A foul & a dive aren't opposites. Henry definitely dived....and arguably he was fouled.
-
Yeah he dived..but it was a foul. but think about it..if he dont go down the ref aint gonna give it..but it was enough contact to make him lose de ball..so maybe the refs shud look out for the contact..and not for the falling over in the box.

Yuh miss de whole point ANC. It have a bias towards de traditional powers. In de same game wit de Lineker half arse penalty, what bout England cutting down Makanaki in brute fashion before dat and no call. Yes it have bad decisions but de decisions usually favour established teams.

Fling...fling...fling...fling...fling...fling!!!!!....That was 6 bigstones. (Know you were too busy ducking to count) :)
As one man said, maybe I don't like his style. Hmmmmmm..I don't. And I still find his first touch surprisingly lacking. Thats why I don't rate him too tough. But as I said earlier, he has a tremendous reputation, you can't ignore that. And I will add that he is deceptively quick. But when I see that man play, all I see is 2 clumsy big foot.
To each his own.
