France wins 5-0, 9 black guys on the pitch, Slovenia wasn't there, 80,000 people, i think this team can win Euro 2004.
Anyways your thoughts on the game freinds.

I didn't get to see the game obviously, but there are no bad 5-0 wins. This team, healthy and rested, can acheive anything. Of course, this is Slovenia, so we can't get too ridiculous.

What if Italy and Germany for example had 9 black players. How much better would they be then ? My point is why did you find it necessary to mention that.

Why? i don't know, it's just funny, Candela, Lizarazazu, Petit, Pires and Trezegol were missing.

[i]9 black guys on the pitch[/B]

They're saying the same about Arsenal. Better physique, more pace?

I don't think it makes that much of a difference though. Just brought to our attention by commentators who can't think of any thing else to say.

well, i've never heard or read any remarks from the media about black players on the pitch,
i was just saying the obvious for no reason whatsoever, do i really need a reason to write things like that?
