Spanish Dream Snuffed Out By Old Men

So Spain blew it again. Taking a well deserved lead, congrats to the ref for spotting the penalty, unlike ITV Clive Tyldesley who accused Pabli Ibanez of "going sown in installments' as Lilian Thuram tried to break his ankle, you would have thought that Spain could applied their geometrical passing patterns to getting the ball in the net. Unfortunately they had underestimated the power of old heads and young legs as Zidane, Vieira, Thuram and Sagnol got Ribery, Henry, Malouda and Abidal to do the running for them.

I have this horrible feeling that France will beat Brazil, then beat Portugal and win the Cup by defeating Ukraine on penalties.

The Zidane Triplets - we came to bury them but ended up
(begrudgingly) praising him.
