Re: France vs Brazil soccer match
I watched the match. France deserved it's 1:0 victory over Brazil, as France were clearly the better team on the day. Zinedine Zidane was at his very best, and he easily outshone the Ronaldos, Ronaldinhos etc.

Re: Football world cup :-)
It was a victory that really teaches something. While the Brazilian squad tried to hide itself from their obvious flaws, masking them behind big names, France faced its problems, fixed them, and is very close of being a great team.
A really classy victory for the French. Perhaps the bit of motivation they needed to achieve greater things. ;)

FIFA world cup 2010, predictions
Hi all, I guess that this FIFA world cup 2010 is worth a discussion :)
So there are now 32 teams in the race... Any predictions on who will reach the 1/8 finals, 1/4 finals, 1/2 finals and final match?
Full list of teams:
South Africa, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Cameroon, Algeria, Australia, Japan, Korea Republic, Korea DPR, Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Honduras, Uruguay, England, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Serbia, Italy, Switzerland, Slovakia, Greece, Slovenia, Portugal, France, United States, New Zealand
A way for me to see how many chances you give to France for this one (at least we can do better than in the Eurovision contest :))
By the way, why there are 2 Korean teams this time? I couldn't believe that "Korea DPR" is North Korea !?? Do you know something on this?

@Francisco
Brazil versus Germany would not have been a "historic game": In 2002 this game was the final (2:0 for Brazil).

d4 Nf6 Bg5
The Trompowski attack is named after the one-time Brazilian champion Octavio Siqueiro F. Trompowski (1897–1984) who played it in the 1930s and 1940s.
With the second move, White is intending to exchange his bishop for Black's knight inflicting doubled pawns upon Black in the process. This is not a lethal threat, Black can choose to fall in with White's plan.
After 1.d4 Nf6, the Trompowski is a popular alternative to the more common 2.c4 and 2.Nf3 lines. By playing 2.Bg5, White avoids the immense opening theory of various Indian Defences like the Queen's Indian and the King's Indian. Some of the grandmasters who often play the Trompowski are Julian Hodgson and Antoaneta Stefanova.
According to Chessbase, white chances are about 56%
