    Proberly the most enjoyable final in donkeys years, I wanted Germany to win just to annoy ppl but fair play to Brazil
    the goals were both well taken and Germany for all there gameness only occasional looked like actually scoring. Hamman
    will have to do better in the new season! Amazing to think those goals were the first Brazil had scored in open play in a final since 1970!

    Yeah I felt sorry for the Germans because they didnt really do anything terribly wrong ( Khan/Hammans **** up aside) and actually took the game to Brazil early in the second half when Roberto Carlos was made a fool of two or three times in a row and Neuville took an absolute cracking freekick. It was a good football match and a much better final than 98 or 94, there was a contest this time and it was entertaining to watch. Neutral fans couldnt really lose.

    Yeah it has to be said, fair play to Germany, they were worthy Finalists, hl to schneider on that free kick could have been somthing special.


    After Brazil scored the first goal i was hoping that they might get one back just to add a bit more spice, the first goal from brazil was a bit silly on kahns behalf but the ball had alot of curl and pace on it, pld to Ronaldo on the follow up, he was on the ball (what a pun :))

    The second goal, well not much can be said apart from the fact that it was perfect :)

    /me starts to shake from lack of football

    best final since 86 :) (not hard considering the following 3 were utter pants)

    hard to blame kahn after the world cup hes had, hes been utterly outstanding. It was raining as well, so that ball must have been pretty hard to hold.

    Good end to a staisfactory world cup :)

    (roll on euro 04! wait, when is the next copa america - next year isnt it?)

    Yea the copa America is back next year!

    Congrats to Brazil they deserved to win,Thank god they were in the World cup cause overall it was pretty poor,but they were a joy to watch.

    I hope Ronaldinho gets a move to a bigger club cause i would love to see more of him especially in the Champions league :)

    Which team does Ronaldinho play for now, and what teams are rumoured to be after him????? I'd love him to come to the Premiership (Even Man Utd!!!!) Any chance?

    I think he plays for Nike athletic ... :D

    He is currently with PSG, would be good to see him in the premiership though, preferably with the 'Pool and not Moneychester :D
