Euro Cup - France vs. England
Simply exciting. The first 15 minutes the ball din even cross into France's penalty area. France was simply attacking England waves after waves but they just din have the magic finish. It was nightmare in the 38th min when Beckham took a free kick and Lampard headed it in. For mi at least. All my England supporter frens were all screaming in ecstasy and hi5-ing each other. The nightmare nearly took a worse turn when Rooney was brought down and was awarded a penalty. But luckily for Les Bleus, Beckham missed the penalty! Yippee! But why did he step up and take it in the first place? Din he remember Barthez was his old Man U 'colleague'? It was a costly mistake. Cos at the 90th minute when I tot all hope was lost and I gonna lose my 10 bucks to sz, miracle happened. A free kick was awarded to France and Zidane the free kick specialist calmly put the ball at the back of the net. Actually I was already contented with the draw result to lose only 5 bucks and couldn't stop celebrating when the next moment France was awarded a penalty! What a turn of events! Why did Gerrard back-pass to James was still a mystery unsolved. Perhaps Henry was at his blindspot. When Zidane proceeded to do wat Beckham could not, that was it. France won England with 2 goals after the 90th min! It was a twist even better than the Sixth Sense.
