Nice. I've only had time to follow the scores on Google, so I haven't been seeing the plays. Good to hear Zidane come through, since I heard he'd been a bit lackluster previously in the tourney.
I followed this game on the guardian.co.uk blog :-) One of the first things the blogger mentioned was that this particular ref is a "backup", i.e., the ref who FIFA wanted got injured or sick or something, and this guy had to be brought in as a second-stringer.
The blogger guessed (tongue-in-cheek... but correctly!) that because FIFA had not wanted this ref as one of their first choices -- well, obviously, he wouldn't be such a c**k-up! ;-P
We've been following the big games here, and I was pretty impressed with how France got their acts together after preforming poorly in the first round. Whoever wins France-Portugal, I want to win the cup since either it's a new team to win, or well, it's France, right?
