france 1, brazil go home

[lobelia321]

Well, I am not going to get my dream semi-final. Who would have thought it? France have come back from obscuritydom and taken the world by storm, as if the year 1998 had only just passed.

I am sad to see Brazil go but France did play beautifully. I can't feel sorry that they are going through. The French are not as pretty as the Brazilians but their football was more beautiful even than my boys. Zidane, Henry and Ribery are football gods.

So it's all Europe from here on in and my babies (Portugal) are going to have to play France on Wednesday. I fear they will lose.

But after the draining Portugal/England game I just did not have the energy to get into a state all over again about Brazil. I'm happy for France.



Kaká and Zidane


Thierry Henry and Zinedine Zidane




Football is cruel:



Bonus Portugal/England pics:

Rooney getting excited by Carvalho's balls:


The man who t'h thinks is 'sex on a stick':


My son sweetie is well fit:


I like Crouch (and so does C. Ronaldo: it's tough love):


Legs:


I do believe there were some other Portuguese players on the pitch but hell, I always seem to link to pics of the same old guy:


C. Ronaldo is not the only who weeps; here is David Beckham doing same:


Certain people call this boy a 'fucking diver'. If he is a diver (which I dispute!), he is at the least a very pretty fucking diver. And may I add, a very pretty Kaká-fucking diver.




I am distressed that badgermonkey, my World Cup txt mate of 2002, cannot be happy with me. But thus is the cruelty of the luck of the draw, that is, who gets to play against whom. So it was England wot Portugal beat and not another team. Thus is my Flist riven!!

But Demelza!!! You must be now for both Germany and France! :-)

None of my football icons seems apt. Weepfest!Ronaldo is not appropriate at the moment because he is ecstatically happy. Happy!Kaká is not appropriate because he is dejectedly upset. So let's go with Roger Milla because he is always fine.

And tomorrow, what with no matches to watch, I will finish typing up my C. Ronaldo/Kaká fic!! (It's worse than Viggorli, isn't it, Demelza?)
