Is it true that the French press

[LovingPortugal]

Is talking crap about the portuguese? I read a Gallas interview and he was warning the french team about how Portugal plays dirty, cheat and dive all the time and was asking his team-mates not to let the portuguese wind them up to get them booked. This is just stupid, how the f**** would we benefit if for example Zidane got a yellow agaisnt us?? It's not like we're going to play them in the final, Gallas is an idiot, it's a shame he can't talk about the opposition without resorting to stupid comments like that. His team played crap during the group stages, has 2 good games agaisnt spain and Brasil who didn;t play well this tournament anyways and he thinks they're the bomb now. They're getting too cocky.
Forca Portugal let's send Gallas and his big mouth back to France :D

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/teams/france/5137724.stm Gallas a big Moron going around flapping his jowls and saying crap about the play of the Portuguese. The Portuguese players have taken dives I tell it like it is, but with that said I havent seen a team yet and throughout this World cup that hasnt had players do the Swan dive take a roll and the slightest touch therefore Portugal hardly stands out as the only team that has done some theatre work out on the field. Since We are playing France next I would like to mention Henry, did anyone see the acting job he did with puyol? My god he was barely touched and certainly not touched in the face and Henry went on like he was mortaly wounded in the head. I mean the French do there share, every team has. FORCA PORTUGAL!

Thanks Benfica i will tell you whenever we decide to visit Canada :)

About France, their coach was ok, he said the players shouldn't be worried about portuguese diving but about how good we can play. Maybe Gallas should listen to his coach and stop being a whiney idiot. And you're right about Henry, he did act in the game agaisnt Spain and i've seen Vieira dive and act quite a few times too! So who r they to talk about the portuguese playing dirty? Oh and also check this:

Fouls:
Portugal:88
France: 90

Yellows:
Portugal: 20
France: 12

Reds:
Portugal: 2
France: 0

Most of our yellow cards r from the Holland game and so r our red cards, everyone saw how bad that game was but apart from that game the portuguese hardly got any cards, what excuse do the french have? How did they manage to make more fouls than us? They only have 8yellow cards less than us. How did they manage that?
Time to take a look at your own team Mr Gallas.

I agree that everyone does the diving tricks and I dont know why everyone is singling out Portugal...to me their diving hasnt stuck out enough to single them out.Alot of people seem to be saying what the French said though, basically all the media that I have read/watched/heard seem to feel the same way especially after this last game they played.Again I dont agree, but there seems to be alot more people besides the French who feel the same way as Gallas.

I was going to bet it all on Italy but I see Lovin likes and wants Italy and thats fine but the problem is She is good at Lovin, not pickin the winners (hahahahaha)

Hard to pick man, the French dont convince me with the way they play but all they do is win...at first I towards Italy cause I think theyre the stronger team but then again I felt the same way about Spain, Brasil, and Portugal and the French ended up beating them.

It's a freakin toss-up, it likes 50-50...but if I had to pick I would go with French.Zidane goes out in style, wins the WC and the Goldenball and FIFA makes a huge story about it.Probably even a better story than the hosts winning it.
