Clash of the titans! Superb game, and 1-1 at half time. Ribery had a superb finish, didn't he? I have a feeling, that Henry's going to beat the offside trap soon. He's come close to beating it already. The winners of this game face Brazil!

Definitely a welcome change from the Ukraine/Switzerland game.
 
Nice game. But Spain's offside traps are very dangerous. Probably some French midfielder coming from behind will score soon.
 
...well it was a midfielder, but not the way I suspected. 2-1 Viera!
(But didn't Henry act to get that freekick?)

3-1 thanks to Zizou and France are through to face Brazil! Yeah, I think Henry acted. He played very poorly again today, I think the french should sub him, like the dutch subbed van nistelrooy.

..and that ended well...:wink: :rolleyes: :wink:
 
Great game, France are playing MUCH better... Could be an all European final...
 
Every time Zidan and Henry play together, Henry doesn't play as good as he can. I didnt think he played badly, but I have seen him do better...

That...game...was.. an atrocity!

However, France are now back (I hope) to their former glory. A classic awaits between them and Brazil..

As for the dive from Henry; It is fair, to be honest. Torres did plenty of diving as well to get free kicks. It is harsh to degrade Henry based on that.

Bad luck for Spain again :frown: . They were the best in their group, but Ukraine made it to the quarters :redface:, and France was struggling in their group but surprisingly played well yesterday :wink: .
