Well I'm creating a new football thread in order to continue a general discussion about the teams, the referees, all about this sport... without going off-topic in another thread...
Well, Monaco can play in France or in Italy...
This year, they had some finacial problems, but the control organization allow them to stay in first league...Moreover, as Monaco is not geographically in France, the players of this team don't have to pay taxes (or just a few)... That's very attractive, and that's one of the reasons why Morientes came there
I replied in the other thread.
He was falling down and he had is arms out to stop the fall.
I think he had his eyes closed.
The ref with the flag (cant remember what they are called in english couldnt even see what was going on cos the french player was in front of him. He only signaled it cos the player asked. So the happening to fast is wrong, plus signal a penalty that he didnt see in a golden goal situation does sound like conspiracy. The were just protecting the champion.
By the way they won 98 cos it was at home and Brazil was shaken by what happen to Ronaldo.
Portugal is playing lousy. Well they are getting better but they dont run!!!
Figo is the only doing something!
At least that lousy goalkeeper, Baia is def out! Thank good!
Well I don't think it is a conspiracy... Our former captain, Didier Deschamps, was good at talking referees into doing something (he was a good player and a very good captain)...
To me the fact that the referee gave an extra time of 4 mins that allowed the French team to score...but a friend of mine told me that it was due to the fact that Italy tried to gain some time...
