That's what Bartez is all about. He's a clown. But I think an attacker will think twice to go into duel with him, he's crazy

I thought he did really well, regardless of that one volleyball bump that was only saved by Portugal's stupidity of heading it over the goal

He was punching out (or even upwards) all the balls. especially dangerous were the ones in last minute. he also had some saves where ball bounced back into play. lucky for him there were no attackers close enough to kick it in.

still all in all he kept his net safe

OFF TOPIC

btw Gregor, Yesterday I met the first Slovenian in my life! It was a truck driver which delivered our new chairs at work. It was a life changing experience to me. Especially when he kindly refused a cup of coffee because he wanted to drive back to slovenia immediatly

on topic. Let's hope Bartez will be somewhat more stable in the final

he's crazy [/b]

Still all in all he kept his net safe [/b]

... that and, a little help from the referee!

And Gregor, the referee was indeed merciful... for the French side... it's quite remarkable that only one player from France got a yellow card and that each time Cristiano Ronaldo touched the ball, he immediately was pushed down to the ground. It's not the big actions that change a game; it's the small ones which almost no one notices that make the difference.

But, that's just me talking, and as I'm Portuguese, maybe I'm just trying to justify my team's behaviour... Well French guys, beware: Italy will not be as easy to beat...

[Maikel]

If you dive that many times as Ronaldo you sure won't have the ref on your side. Same with Arjen Robben from Holland and Drogba from Ivory Coast. When the ref's have targetted you as a diver, it will take a loooong time before they change their opinion. Which is logical.

If the french federation don´t pay big many to fifa acconts, the refere don´t do a bad job, french don´t deserve nothing, they play suck, they don´t have team, only money....

[ReamusLQ]

wow...harsh words. You think they're winning because of the refs? It couldn't POSSIBLY be because of Zidane, or Henry, or any of those other football GODS . I mean, It's now like Zidane has been voted player of the year for FIFA multiple times or anything like that...
