ya... I just read the news today too that Nakata announced his retirement.
Really does it have something to do with his commercial contracts? or just that he has something more important to do such that he stopped his career?

he's past his best as a footballer - maybe ihe just couldn't be arsed going on any more? he was playing with Bolton in the English Premier Lge last season (and the season before that, i think) and altho he played well, he was playing as a water-carrier, not as a playmaker, and he wasn't starting every game, either.

he was one of the few Japanese players to come out of the World Cup with his reputation intact, but maybe he just didn't feel like being a journeyman player on a journeyman football team any more?

The first goal was what really did it.. Germany had to get a lot more aggressive to get a tying goal or they would lose anyway. It's the equivalent of pulling the goalie in hockey.

Just finished watching the game. Italy's first goal was nicely done. I think the German's did a damn good job.

I think France is going to take it all.

ya, you have to... It doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or you lose by 2, you still lose. They had to try to score a goal even if it meant leaving people in 1 on 1 coverage on your side of the field, which is what happened.

You could sorta see that Italy had the game won when they came out in overtime as the much more aggressive team. Germany was lucky those two shots went off the crossbar/post in the beginning of the first overtime... they couldn't get lucky forever.

JTRIX · « **Reply #356 on:** July 05, 2006, 04:50:51 AM »

I didn't expect that goal in the last 2 minutes before PSO... so freaking amazing!

I definitely want France to win and play against Italy in the final, then win the World Cup!

Just wondering, how many of you are now hating Portugal, and especially C. Ronaldo for what he did in the game against England?
