Bottom line is that I love "futbol" and I love seeing it well played.
And yes, Peace dammit! and I recommend that you see "The Two Escobars" an ESPN documentary made by some friends of mine that do a fantastic job explaining the story of Andres Escobar and his autogol in the World Cup. It also does a great job in showing the social/economical/political situation in my birth country Colombia in the hight of the Pablo Escobar's reign. It was a very tough emotional ride but very well worth it.
OK - got to see the game now.
Enjoy!

Chemistry is something that is developed by the experience of playing together! I played on a Baseball team that was good but we won the whole shooting match to spite our coach.
Reverse psychology? Maybe but we did develop a chemistry that had guys playing their "A" game throughout the playoffs. We were underdogs in every game as we were the lowest seeded team, which is also a motivation!
The team that developed the best chemistry the fastest will be The World Cup winners. And just possibly not as good as team that got booted earlier because they had no chemistry!
Man, I still confuse my Uruguays with my Paraguays. Forlan will play tomorrow.Quote:

The fact is that someone has to lose and the stats or coin toss are fortunately not a part of the equation.
Looking forward to an exciting Spain/Portugal.
Vamos Espaņa!!!!!!!

I am getting PMs from horrified Paraguayans and pissed off Uruguayans but come to think of it, I still have issues with "push' and "pull' when it comes to doors and my son is always making fun of me when I make the wrong choice.

I'm pulling for the donkey! :)
