This game is very intense.

I have a feeling that it might end 3-0 for France!

Wait, I thought it was 3-0. Why was the last goal not counted?

I wonder if that counts as an own goal.

EDIT: Looks like FIFA says it's an own goal.

yea, the ball was on it's way out, the one actually tipping it into the goal was the goalkeeper, so in my book that's an own goal - seems like fifa agrees with me there

I agree with that as well, though usually when the ball bounces off the back of the keeper after being shot at the post or bar, which happens sometimes after a free kick or penalty, I don't *think* the FIFA/UEFA/national league or whatever counts it as an own goal.

Obviously the keeper isn't quite as innocent in this case.



OK, now my prediction is right.

3-0. This will end with 4 or 5 against 0

wow, France is winning at something. They dominating.



Crap! I made a mistake, I thought France needed to score 3 for my prediction, which they now did, but then I noticed I only predicted 2-0 >:-| .



That was a well worked goal. Good finish.

The earlier 'goal', hit the side netting. But because of the way the net at the side moved, it looked like the ball went in. Eitherway, 3-0 now.



Hmm, pie.
