France!?

I'll admit, I was wrong, I thought the French sucked. Can you blame me? It's very American to think the French suck and you'll normally be right. France though showed up to play today against the Brazilians. Zidane and Henry teamed up for a sweet goal and the team played all day to insure that the Brazilian offense couldn't find the back of the net. I don't know how they kept that team from getting scoring chances, but somehow they did it. Brazil hardly had any shots. Ronaldo is an old, fat, crying baby that probably just got knocked out of his last World Cup. Part of the problem for Brazil I think was that they had too many superstars, just give the ball to Ronaldhino and he'll do the rest. He really is the best player in the world and today it was a combination of him not having a great game and the rest of the team not picking up the slack.
Good show for France, its nice to see Brazil knocked, not so nice though is the fact that four European teams are left to the in World Cup held in Europe, just once again goes to show how important home soil is and how hard it is for the underdogs.
