        Hey!  They're playing Metallica's opening music (Ecstasy of Gold) at the opening.  That's pretty boss, yo.

          Yeah I noticed that too.

          France does not deserve the lead in this game.  I feel for Croatia.

                    Stats have their limitations, as we've pointed out before here. My congratulations to France. Overall (the whole tournament) it seems to me a well deserving winner. Today's result should have been 2-1 I somehow felt. The first two French goals and the second Croatian one  were less than convincing.

                    Felicitations, la France!

                          I’ve watched some of the rioting in French cities - after they WON! Imagine what the world would be saying if English supporters did that (you also have to IMAGINE that England would win  ::)).

                            Not that English supporters have always behaved perfectly…  😞

                            I enjoyed watching the game yesterday. I think the stats are a pretty good reflection of the game. The Croatian had more heart, especially at first, the French were technically better, especially in defense. At least one goal on each side was due to the defending team.

                            The last 2 weeks have been fun for me because although I live in the US I spent a week in Croatia that overlapped with their 1/4 and 1/2 finals, and then came to France on time to watch France's 1/2 final and the final.

                            Now I need to figure something for the rugby World Cup...

                              I'm really liking the signings by Liverpool so far this transfer window.

                                I will never understand non-English football fans. I get grumpy and depressed every time another club in the EPL make a good signing. Good for you for rising above that.

                                  Well for me I guess it's because I don't have the generations of deep seeded rivalry in my blood passed down to me by my footballing fore fathers as a non-English fan.  I just bonded with United when I started following the EPL in 2003 because those were about the only games aired in the states at that time with some Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund games (oddly enough) thrown in there.  Plus I loved Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

                                  Also, I like to be a big picture kind of guy and I just love the sport in general and competition itself.  So when other clubs in the EPL ramp up their squads it's only good for the game and the league as a whole IMO.  I guess there's an argument to be made that it's actually good to have dominant dynasty type teams in the league but I prefer a more competitive one all around.

                                  Plus, I just really like this Liverpool squad and I think their signings so far are perfect additions that will translate into results on the field.

                                    65million quid for a keeper though. and to think back in the day 30million quid for rio ferdinand was the record. now it's 75million for VVD. absolutely mental
