France Invades Berlin!
 
In a role reversal the French will be invading Berlin to take on Italy in the World Cup Final match, July 9th! Allez les Bleues! Appropriately the French victory will occur in the Olympic Stadium made infamous in 1936 by Hitler and the Jessie Owens victory.

Does it really have to be this tabloid style????

Dukey Jul 5th, 2006 01:22 PM

Only when the team you <b>weren't</b> rooting for lost!

Vive la France! Vive le Zidane et l'Equipe Tricolore :-)

logos99- what i headlined is exactly what the World Cup announcers (ESPN US broadcast) said - tongue in cheek of course at the conclusion of the France-Portugal match.

It's amusing to read the other Fodors posts on the World Cup to see which other teams posters were SURE were going to make it to the finals. England-Argentina or England-Germany were among the most common predictions. Nobody predicted an Italy-France final. The Italians were dismissed as mere &quot;show ponies.&quot;

And the French as old farts!

cocofromdijon Jul 6th, 2006 08:42 AM

Oh Pal! Pauvre Zizou! But he can show everyone he's still a very good value, just before retiring! Allez Zizou! :-d

PalQ Jul 6th, 2006 09:34 AM

Dis donc, allez Zizou! J'ai dit &lt;vieux farts&gt; parce que j'ai lu que avant the Coupe Mondial les experts ont dit que les francaise jouers (??) sont tres vieux.
Mais bien sur, comme les vins fin iront meilleur avec age peut-etre c'est la meme avec les foot.
Dimanche prochaine j'ira regardez mon deuxieme match du foot - les Bleues versus les Pizzas a Berlin, un ville que je vraiment aime. Mon fils, 23 ans, ira regardez le match avec moi - il etude maintenant ici mais il a le &lt;BAC&gt; de lycee un Orleans. Mais desolee il a veut que les Portugeuse a gagner le match denier parce que France a gagner le Coupe en 1998 et Portugal a jamais le gagner. Je t'ai dit - tu doit veut les francaises a gagner, did donc!

34 years old is not old! (and he's a gemini like me)
Pal you're too funny! :-))

PalQ Jul 6th, 2006 10:01 AM

Mon fils et moi sont Gemini (Gemineau?) aussi!

We say g&eacute;meaux! un g&eacute;meau, des g&eacute;meaux! ;;)

I understand now...:?

I laughed reading the &quot;show Ponies description referring to the Italian Soccer team.
Unfortunately some people for various personal reasons , which Jelousy is the main factor, seems to forget that Italy won the World Cup 3 Times...:)

I wonder how many times their country actually won the World Cup? How many times they fulfilled the Impossible dream?
A penny for your thoughts..:)


Forza Azzurri....

The World Cup will be the last game for Zidane.

ezlivin Jul 7th, 2006 12:29 PM

Zidane Rules !!!!

From a non-French non-Italian dude.

PalQ Jul 7th, 2006 12:36 PM

Coco from Dijon - je pense que tu (vous) est dorme maintenant mais je te posserai une question:

Comment vous dites en francais &quot;Zidane Rules&quot;

Zidane reigne?

Merci a tout a l'heuere

mon fils et moi regarderait le match encore cette Dimanche - Go Blues!

carylspall Jul 7th, 2006 12:38 PM

Not sure who to support....
Love French white wine - never like Italian wine as much....
OK!!!
Come on France! You can do it!!!

JeffreyJ Jul 7th, 2006 12:48 PM

&lt;laughing&gt; Les Pizzas, PalQ? How unkind....

I'll be sitting in a sports bar in Phoenix, Arizona at 11.55 Sunday, in my team supporters jersey, watching the kickoff.....

Allez les Bleues!


kismetchimera Jul 7th, 2006 05:24 PM

Forza Azzurri..:)

cocofromdijon Jul 8th, 2006 12:50 AM

Lol Kismet I really enjoy those small fights over the internet. If we win I'll be a bit sad for you (at least I'll have a thought)and if we lose I hope you'll do the same! Peace and Love!
Pal you may say Zidane domine, r&egrave;gne en ma&icirc;tre. Zidane &quot;le ma&icirc;tre&quot; or &quot;Dieu&quot; as Thierry Henri calls him with affection. ;-)
I was not sleeping when you wrote your post last night but there was a rerun of &quot;Sex and the city&quot; on TV.. But I'm almost sure you're sleeping now! ;-)
