This is so funny. A series of photos of the winning goal in the France-Brazil game. Poor Roberto Carlos, I guess that's why he retired.
BTW - Germany-Portugal is shaping up to be a good game. It's 2-0 right now, but it would be 4-0 if not for the Portuguese goalie, Ricardo.
Update: Schweinsteiger, GOOOAAALLLAAAZZZZZZOOOO! A hat-trick for the man with the great name!

Slightly embarrassing for Carlos!
And Germany wins! Three very nice goals (if you ignore the own goal) and a good game. Here's hoping tomorrow is as good.
Prediction - 1:0 for France.
Yes a nice finish for Germany. And I guess Schweinsteiger's free kick was deflected by Petit for an OG. Too bad, a hat-trick would have been nice.
As for the final, I predict 2-1 for Italy (I know it's a high score for these two teams ... but I'd like Zidane to net one ...)
2-1 France -- Zidane and Ribery.
Still on Roberto Carlos: reporters who were in the stadium said he was not exactly resting, he was... fixing his socks! Of course, he later denied that, but the images beg to differ.
Also: Schweinsteiger is reeeally a great name...

I'm cheering for Portugal from here on out, I love to watch Ronaldo. I don't care, can't wait for Euro 08. I'm also predicting a 2:1 Italy win with a goal by Zidane (and not one based on an Henry flop).
The original text in Portuguese was a lot funnier.
