Ouch... France vs. Senegal

I don\'t see how 1-0 can be an asskicking, simply for the fact that had one few second period happened differently, it\'s a tie.  I\'d think that for it to be a real asskicking, there should be at least a 2 goal lead at the end, or for most of the ending portion of the game.

ya whatever, It was just a joke about how low scoring "football" is:p

maybe because for evey goal, we get one, what do you yankys get when you score about 6?, i dunno.

I wouldn\'t exactly say that Senegal spanked France... it was more the fact that France should have won, but didn\'t. They can blame Petite and Barthez for that... they practically gave the ball to the guy scoring. Oh, and the fact they didn\'t really seem \'up to it\', so to speak, nor did they score, didn\'t exactly help either.

Well, one would be hard pressed comparing American football and soccer (I assume the Gators is a footie team? ). Although 1 goal isn\'t a whole lot, it was more the way Senegal won. France are the world champs and yet they played pretty much like crap... I don\'t think it was expected that Senegal would win.

well you cant just say france played bad, segenal plyed very good and deserved t win......



did you see el hadji diouf, he really impressed me, i know liverpool are very intrested in him, and if that is how he will normaly play,  i will welcme him to our club

Another shocker just in. Germany won 8 - 0. WOW. damm Germans.

Senegal\'s goal was a combined effort on the part of Petit and Barthez to **** france.

Indeed.

And Koping, I don\'t think Senegal played all that great either. They had one goal - mostly because of Petit and Barthez... I agree that Diouf played pretty good though. But France should have won... or at least scored. Senegal weren\'t that impressive IMO.

Your football games are alot longer....It s real fun watching 90 minutes of game to see one score.

Americans want constant action, thats why they have little interest in soccer, and why the U.S. team is poor, because my chidrent want to go play nfl, nba, while kids from other countries all flock to "football"

I love the term "France got their ass kicked by Senegal! 0-1!"


Um, what would be a mild beating?   Do they have half points and quarter points?  I would think this would be a mild win.  But then again I am a Gator fan and if we don\'t win by at least 30 I am pissed.

Heh, well, don\'t you just get a tad pissed when you get your asses kicked 62 to 24 in the National Title Game? Ah yes, now THAT would suck

See Yuz.

Actually it IS fun... at least if there\'s something at stake... say the World Cup or just your fav. league. Besides, with relatively few goals it gets interesting - each goal counts! And when you\'re ahead, say 2-1, at there are just a few minutes left, you\'re just sitting on the edge hoping the other team won\'t score - then their attacking becomes very interesting. Likewise if your team is behind, you\'re just rooting for them to score. Every goal is important and just because they don\'t score every minute, doesn\'t mean it\'s not entertaining.

Watching two great teams battle eachother is amazing.

Sounds impressive, but remember, they were only playing the Saudi\'s. Wait and see how impressive it sounds when Cameroon stick 10 past em.

I dont usually watch footy that often.. But now when the World Cup is on I watch every game (if I have the time)

I want to re-live the summer of 1994!
*sniff*

1-1 between Sweden and England is a good start!

wel i like it not being very high score games,i mean like 20-19 etc, of course i like to see goals, but what makes them so goo, is that as goals are not done every minute, most goals, or t least some of them are very special......


i think football is done on chances taken, while a sport like basketball is lost on chances missed... if you know what i mean




samwise, i know they werent great,but i meant they worked very hard  to win, i think france underestimated them...
