So the big match begins.....
I have a few chances and for some strange reason, my players miss the goal by inches every time. I keep trying.
Carlos runs up the left wing and crosses. It reaches Kaka at the edge of the box and he takes a touch before volleying in.
1-0 to Brazil.
No worries, it's only one goal.....
Interesting.... I keep trying. Henry hits the post. Cisse just misses the goal. Something weird is going on.
These shots should be going in!!
A big clearance finds Ronaldo on his own. The defenders chase him as he sprints for goal. He approches the edge of the area. I bring the keeper out a bit and then let him go back, hoping he will rush his shot. He goes for a lob and I think the keeper should make it. The shot goes over him and he dives backwards but doesn't get anywhere near it. 2-0 to Brazil. Dagnabbit. I think I can get back in it though. Going for the 2 goals to make a draw.
Great through ball by Zidane puts Henry through 1-on-1. Blasts it past the keeper... 2-1.
Come on! I can do this.....
Pires header from a corner - is it going in, NO, it goes just past the far post. Zidane shoots and misses. Henry, good skill, lays it off to Zidane who is free in the middle.... first time shot, keeper tips it wide. Getting annoying now....
80th minute counter attack by Brazil. Shot deflected for a corner. Rivaldo takes the corner. Ronaldinho heads, the French keeper jumps and the balls take a slight deflection of his foot in the air, heading for the line.... the defender dives and deflects it across goal... where Edmilson charges in to push it over the line.
Unbelievable. 3-1 to Brazil. I have a couple more shots but there's no time left, helped by his time-wasting passing and big clearances. Dagnabbit.
Result: France 1 - 3 Brazil
I had more shots and possession but he took his chances. He's happy. I'm not. He forces us to watch the Ceremony for his team receiving the cup. Brazilian players dance around. I give them dirty looks.
Grrrr.
1. Brazil, P3 W2 D1 L0, F5 A2, 7pts
2. France, P3, W2, D0 L1, F6 A3, 6pts
3. Italy, P3 W1 D1 L1, 4pts
4. Argentina, P3 L3, 0pts
I demanded a rematch and beat him 6-1 with some amazing goals but he says he's not trying. Bart Simpson in the house.....
darn kids!

We will have our revenge!!
