I'd like to see Portugal win but my head says France. If it's anywhere near as good as last nights game it'll be great.

Damn.....GERMANY LOST, HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE???
FAILURE FAILURE FAILURE FAILURE!!!
But to beobjective they didn't deserve it at all...
They can't even control the ball or hit the goal from 20 m distance (it's not easy, but they do nothing else and they get a lot of money for it so why do they have to shoot 10 m abve the goal??). The worst player was imo Bastian Schweinsteiger, terrible performance, I don't know why he is in the team, he's too egoistic to pass, so he runs though the opponents and loses the ball and if he passes it's going to be bad. And Podolski...AHHH...no control, no feeling, he just stood there, waited for the ball and then, when he finally got it, he lost it one second later....

Grato pela referência ao idioma! Almost as much melodic as Italian.

I feel sorry for the German guys.
I know many German tourists here in Italy and they are great.

Henry was fouled for the penalty but he also dived.The contact was not enough to bring him down in that manner.
For all I hate him Ronaldo has been the best attacking player by a mile.
More of the same though,should be 2-0 or 2-1 for France.

Great, im happy with it!
Both were great goals also, and by far Pirlo the player of the game.

I think the man of the match is Zambrotta. Cannavaro too was great.
Unfortunately Totti made his worst match in this competition.

Big Phil berating the referee! He will be ashamed of his actions and hopefully his team when he sees the replays?
What the hell do those Portuguese players think they are doing? Diving,falling,rolling about as if poleaxed-these players are a disgrace to football and someone needs to take action quickly.Postiga-what was that in the penalty area-you are a disgrace! Ronaldo for all his skill is a cheat and a con man and the manager must be brought to book for his attempt to intimidate the referee.
Shame!
France struggled,it looks as if this Portugal team can make anyone play badly but ultimately they have no teeth.I cannot see France winning the final now.
Italy to be Champions.

Oh how sweet to see the baby Ronaldo crying his eyes out, that
supercilious grin wiped off his face, and the insane Scolari, throwing
his toys out of the pram just because his team of diving cheats lost.
Thank God he didn't become England manager.

So France are in the final ! I'm happy but not satisfied by their performance. They looked really exhausted. And I'm not content with winning thanks to a penalty. I guess that it's part of the game.
I think it's going to be a tough strategic final.

Me and the Portuguese crowd at my home are proud at the performance of their team this evening: in the first half in general Portugal was equal to France and at some moments even superior, especially Ronaldo was a constant threat and also Figo showed some great actions. But after the smart provoked penalty (it was a foul but I know some perfect coral reef 'diving'  spots for Henry ...), France was in the driving seat and, in my opinion, played the second half only to control the game, very embarrasing but on the other hand, reaching the final is at those moments holy. Anyway, Portugal, despite the usual diving acts by Pauletta, Ronaldo and Postinga, showed the world their huge football potential, I have enjoyed Portugal way more than France this evening.

I'm sorry Erik but you should ask your Portuguese friends why they allow their team to disgarce their country. Who wants to win by cheating? The public should demand that their team plays fair.How can they be proud of a team who play like that?
