On a lighter note, the Golden Rooster blasted the Samba Boys out of the tournament, with a 1-0 victory!!!

I woke up at 4.30am to catch the last half, and almost gave myself a heart attack. Brazil was attacking right until the last minute, but the French defenders seemed to have grown in stature, blocking their EVERY move. Pure poetry in motion.

Henry scored with a brilliant, aerial move Shaolin monks would have been proud of. Since FIFA is clamping down hard on simulation, Brzail couldn't play-act and dive, and they didn't have a chance, against REAL talent and hard work. Which is exactly my sentiments for many years now, excpet all the guys just think Brazil is the best. Cheh.

An all-European semi final.....my dream comes true.
