Thats what I was thinking. I know for a fact that Zidane is Muslim, so it wouldn't surprise me if something like that was said.

Well the fact that he fought back proves he isn't totally French. Had he been 100% French he would have called Bruce Arena out to give him a hand and save his ass then turned around and bad mouthed Arena to all the other players.

That would make sense. Do you have a link to confirm?

Yeah, I heard it was allegedly something like "Your mom f**ks terrorists" or something along those lines

WOW...soccer had an interesting moment for once!

It was the only one though...even with the little kicking contest to decide the championship.

I'm glad the NFL doesn't decide the Super Bowl on a field goal kicking contest, or we'll be in trouble with John Hall.

Oh well, France loses something else...the world is still normal.

I like how alot of people I know when asked say they are intrested in the Worold Cup but when you ask them if they have watched any matches they say "NO".Went fishing with a friends son yesterday and he was saying how big of a soccer fan he was and I asked him why he wasn't home watching the biggest soccer event of the next couple of years. He did not realy have an answer.

I know you said son, I was making a joke that the friend's son was a kid. So, if your friend's son=a kid and you took your friend's friend's son fishing, by that logic you took a kid fishing. I didn't mean to offend.

No offence taken. Actualy I took several of them out. Their home from college and have been out flounder fishing 5 to 6 times and had not caught a single flounder. I took them out and they had their limits in about 4 hours and we came home with 30 flounder from about 17 to 24 inches.

I think what he meant is the fact that rather than people say "F...Soccer" we actually don't go to the shitter when the scores come on ESPN.

Remember kids, there's different LEVELS of interest.

Sounds like something big happened in soccer. I've tried to get interested in soccer, but i don't find it that entertaining. I watched a couple D.C. United games this year, but that was it. How should i sum a soccer match up, well, it's like, anyone seen that clip where homer takes his kids to a soccer game because he saw an ad on t.v. that said this match will decide once and for all who the best nation on earth is, and then when he gets there, it's just like, blargh lol. And i know real soccer isn't like that either, just so you know.
