The 2-1 for France,came from freekick,that never should be given
or at least Carlos Puoyl could played that situation w/out a foul

READ today bout the same thang
I Knew there´d be discussion about this
-HS REUTERS-

Puoyl was punished from offence on Thierry Henry
,while he was trying to cover ball from French.

It wasn´t my foul, it was more Henry´s foul
He came from back and crashed to me,Puyol said.

Judges can do mistakes.
It feels awful to lose in this way,
because i think we deserved more
and we played a beautiful match.

England played better than in their 1st match and Crouch got a goal
i really hate him,coz he wastes so often "given" goals, after 6th or so attempt he finally scored,Thanks belongs pretty much David Beckham´s brilliant cross over the Trinidad & Tobago´s defence

here how the Crouch goal really went
should be given at least yellow card, and not accept goal

SPAIN FANS REIGNITE RACISM ROW

Posted 28/06/06 19:57Email Print Save

Spain are at the centre of another racism row after it was claimed their fans taunted the France squad as they arrived for their World Cup last-16 match in Hanover.

On the day FIFA and the German government launched a major campaign against racism in football, it emerged the French players were subjected to monkey noises when their bus arrived at the stadium.

France coach Raymond Domenech said: "When I arrived with the bus and there are fans who making monkey chants or whatever, then I just turned my head away.

"I didn't even look at them because I did not want to grant them that privilege."

Asked if that may have motivated the players, who went on to beat Spain 3-1, Domenech added: "If this could motivate them, then good."

Spanish fans also whistled and booed during the French national anthem, the Marseillaise, while Domenech said by contrast he had applauded the Spanish national anthem.

Racism has been an ongoing problem with fans in Spanish club football, while national team boss Luis Aragones was fined for describing Thierry Henry as a "black s***" in a remark to Henry's Arsenal team-mate Jose Antonio Reyes two years ago.

Following France's victory, Henry said: "A lot of people were speculating about Aragones and I don't want to talk about it because there is no point. But the best answer was the win."

FIFA warned they will suspend national associations who fail to impose tough new rules on racism that come into force next month.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter said the regulations - including docking points from clubs and countries whose fans are guilty of racism offences - were mandatory.

Blatter said: "The first responsibilities lies with the national associations, and if they are not doing what is expected of them then FIFA's executive committee must intervene.

"The power and the responsibility lies with FIFA and the suspension of a federation is the ultimate sanction available to the disciplinary committee."

He added: "This is a fight against a devil which still exists, unfortunately, in our sport."

Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front in France, said this week there should be more white players in the France team.

He said the French people did not fully identify with the national team because there were too many "players of colour".

FIFA's Congress in Munich earlier this month ratified the tough new rules and they will be brought in from the end of the World Cup.

The launch was also attended by Tokyo Sexwale, a member of the South Africa 2010 World Cup organising committee who was imprisoned on Robben Island for 15 years.

Sexwale said: "The flames of racism ignited by a minority around soccer matches cannot and must not be allowed to divide the family of football."

^^too bad that didn't happen either. but damn if you watched the game you know it wasn't as one sided as the 3-0 score suggests...ukraine could have easily tied it at 1-1 and then the other header that went off the cross bar is just unlucky.

Can't wait for France/Brazil tomorrow

^^ I wouldn't exactly call 1-0 france "shat"ing on brazil but they did control possession and tempo for most of the game. It seemed like Brazil didn't believe they were down until stoppage time kicked in and they began to play like the Brazil I knew. Too little too late, though.

Brazil will have good team in next World Cup, France ?
Things Looking A Whole Lot different for them.
SO Enjoy France while you still can

Ricardo saving England out again
he´s extremely talented in penaltys.
Hopefully Scolari´s Portugal knocks France out in the semis.
That will be hard coz France has such a good momentum right now.
