Excuse me,for interrupting your talking.I just wanna say,Mr.Blatter insted of "attacks" to V.Ivanov show "yellow cards to Graham Paul,who show THREE yellow cards to one player and RED card to Louise Cantaleho for yesterday match".May be they were overheated on German heat? And Valentin Ivanov s the man of principe and he deserves a FINAL match!!!

That would be a memorable final

That^ll be the final according to all the rules, which were established by FIFA,when referee don^t klose his eyes for a player^s falls,just because they are...very famous.

Halftime Brazil 2-0 Ghana But Brazil have to be flattered by this score. No doubt that Brazil's first was a thing of beauty as Ronaldo displayed some of the old magic with a brilliant move in rounding Kingson, the Ghanian keeper. But after that, it's been all Ghana. Some great chances and I actually began yelling "GOAL" when John Mensah's downward header from six-yards in front of goal was somehow kept out by Dida's shins. Then a minute before halftime Brazil countered and... how the linesman missed Adriano being offside is something I still can't comprehend! So obvious!

The first half was rather interesting, though

I was okay the first half. But I'm struggling in the second. I thought Brasil was supposed to keep us awake. Whoa... 3-0 now.

THIS IS AWESOME!! One of the greatest upsets in World Cup history is the 1954 Final in Berne, Switzerland where West Germany, against all odds, defeated Hungary 3:2 after being down 0:2 early in the game. Helmut Rahn scored two goals for West Germany to become a national hero. The captain of that team was the legendary Fritz Walter. And the coach was Sepp Herberger. "The Miracle Of Berne" holds a special place in the history of the sport and basically kick-started the dominance of West Germany in future tournaments. A film was recently made about the event. (I'd love to watch it there's an English language version available) I found this amazing video on YouTube that had me laughing while watching it, yet almost brought me to tears while listening to it. This is a very accurate replay of the game done... in LEGO form! And what really punctuates the video is the original commentary from 1954 German television/radio by Herbert Zimmermann. I barely understand a word of German, but listening to Zimmerman's voice as the excitement jumped out from his voice every time West Germany scored really tugged at the fussball heartstrings inside of me for some reason. (And I have no German ancestory in me that I know of) Probably because I know what place this game has in the history of the sport, which I love to read about. It starts off with still photos up to when Hungary has taken a 2:0 lead. From that point on, when the comeback begins, it changes to motion video. Great stuff!!

]<span style=) -- (it lasts over 10 minutes)Wow, I always thought this was only so emotional for Germans. Around here, everyone knows at least one sentence from this broadcast (it was the radio commentary, not the TV one): "Aus! Aus! Das Spiel ist aus!" which means the game is over. Also the commentary about Rahn's goal is widely known. Well, it seems that we all wrote off France too early and now we get a redo of the 1998 final match-up: Brazil-France.
