Official France vs Colombia PRE Match & PBP Thread (6/18) [R]

I do not le know who will win between these le 2 teams, c'est un mystery to me

 

d

How many minutes since Colombia scored a goal?


I'll be at the Colombia-N. Zealand match. Let's see if they can score!

I have to extra tix to this game. ANyone know Colombians in France?

 

hey chibcha.... como esta man, are you in france now?


stay with us, stop by the conmebol foro, they are waiting for you!


colombia has not score a goal in 2003, 4 games 0-0

the strickers for col vs fra will be new, as aristizabal will play the 1st game with the national team in one yr.... he had the best season of his career with cruzeiro (campeon del brazileriao) this yr....

lets see! I see a 0-0 game, but intense, I hope not many yellow cards will damage our chances for the 3 game, as they will be very PHYSICAL to compensate for the lack of team work!

 

well according to FIFA.com, France will be looking to start scoring again too....
I think it will be a very offensive game.
on whos part, don't know.

 

Efer,

No I'm not in France yet, I leave on Thurs., God willing. I was going to go tonight to see Colombia-France but the wife couldn't get too many vacation days (new job). So I settled for THurs. - Tuesday. Oh well. Hopefully Colombia can beat N. Zealand when I'm there so they can bring some joy, for a change.

 

Has this game been played already??? Fifa says it is so but...

 

No, the game has not been played yet. Maybe FIFA is just trying to get a head start by anticipating a 0-0 score

Actually, I predict "zee Fronsch" will be able to find the back of the net and win.

Live Game

Are you watching the game live or just following though Eurosport?

If you are watching it could you, please, gve some analysis!

Thought Eurosport it sounds like Colombia is giving France a run for its $!

 

Re: Live Game

Yeah, I'm just following along with what the tracker is doing. It does read like Colombia are playing well after a slow start.

GO SA Beat Europe

"Eu sou... Combia eu sou... eo eo eo
o bicho vai pegar... ea ea
ninguem vai me segurar (nem a PM... "

 

Anyone know why Barthez is not starting for France?

 

Penalty for France. Handball. A very dodgy call, it looked like the ball hit hand.

Henry steps up...
Goal.

France 1-0.

 

Velasquez booked for dissent.

 

"France have now scored more goals in this tournament than they did in the 2002 World Cup!!"

i've never read anything like this from pbp by an official site.

 

HT France 1-0 Colombia

France has been dominating the last 20 mins and it could just as easily be 3 or 4-0.

One player who has disappointed is Cisse. He wiffed on a couple of certain goals. The more I watch him play the more I'm unimpressed.

 

That's why official sites suck. Whenever possible, read the stuff on the Guardian's website. Barry Glendenning is brilliant, even (especially) when he's harassing Liverpool.

 

so i assume cisse was so-so. not bad as spartak says and not too good as eurosports says

 

Hes time has passed?
