football??!! Brady is the best damn QB in the NFL
like MOST americans - i didn't follow the world cup other than this thread - while looking at your pics, isn't it disrespectful for a player to mock the other team by wearing a Sombrero?
really if the French ran around with a porto bottle on their heads after the win - wouldn't you be a little upset - poor sportsmanship

You should have seen the portuguese fans from new bedford the neighboring town to me. They were driving all over the city hanging out of there windows, beeping, waving flags ... just being ridiculous.
I cant imagine what would have happen if they won the cup
I'm portuguese and i still think they were takin it to seriously
i think that all portuguese people get a little to excited or maybe its just the

doesnt every team have a parade after a championship?????????
nfl - mlb - nba - nhl............ why???? we're all entitled to celebrate
especially for something of this magnitude, this happens every 4yrs
and involves the world - 30 BILLION People tuned in to view this tournament
NOTHING ELSE will even come close........ Besides actual War!
this is as close as you will get to National Competition between
countries - pride, culture, and history are all put on the line.
this isnt a silly domestic championship (World Series??????)
if you're going to call it that it shoudl involved the world.......
to bad only 5-6 countries play the silly/boring sport.......lol
at least the NFL got it right w/ the Super Bowl (nobody else plays it)
who came up w/ that BS?????? we all found out what happened to the US
when they invited other Baseball teams from other countires for a little tournament!
the world is catching up in other sports, but the US is still ages behind in the
one true "world" sport.
Soccer is one of the few sports that every country in the world participates
and to finish 3rd or 4th out of 350+ countries involved is pretty damn good...
I am not here to bash the US, France, Brasil, but so often we put ourselves
on pedestals and declare victory before battles are fought........
in the end we all fall flat on our faces are shoved under a rug so hopefully
no one seen it and will forget about it...........
I have more sorrow for the Germans losing @ home in the last minute of overtime
then I did for Portugal's loss.......... in the EURO we reached the finals on our
home stadium and lost 1-0 to Greece (a team that couldnt even qualify for the World Cup, who's under investigation)......... that was tough!
In all I am just proud to have seen it and enjoyed it to the fullest.... hopefully
one day I will be around to see Portugal hold that Golden Trophy...
