"Gomes", as in rhymes with "homes"!!!

Its pronounced the same as the Spanish name "Gomez" you bloody ESPN morons!
He's Portuguese!

[dfwgator]

Nice ball from Figo there.

[dfwgator]

You're joking right? Please tell me they didn't pronounce it like that.

[Eurotwit]

Now that it is over with Germany, it will be interesting to see what Klinsmann has to say about the US job...

Oh, Congratz to Klinsi and the Germans for a well deserved bronze!

Cheers.

[mikrofon]

I think it's pronounced more like "Go-mesh" -- either way, the ESPN guy's an idiot...

Nice hat trick by Schweinsteiger (the h*ll with "own goals"). You have the opportunity to shoot, you shoot...

[dfwgator]

Thank God it's Merkel giving them their medals instead of Schroeder.

[Stallone]

The jealousy is fairly dripping from your keyboards!
/where oh where is the sense of humor on this thread?

[You Dirty Rats]

They also pronounce "New-ville" instead of "NOI-ville."

Good result for Germany.

[jveritas]

Calm down man, just calm down, it is just a game.

The fat Brazilian player that you are referring too, i.e. Ronaldo now has the most number of goals scored by a player in word cups, 15 goals.

Again some reminder for you:

Brazil: 5 world cups, 7 times in the finals, best player in history of football, Pele, and yes fat Ronaldo as you refer to him has the most number of goals scored in world cups. Also Brazil has the most followers and fans world wide

England: 1 world cup, 1 time in the final.

I rest my case.

[romanesq]

Portugal did not earn themselves any fans with this match.

[Churchillspirit]

The triumph of optimism over experience.

Better luck next time, lads.

[jveritas]

Get a life man.

[jveritas]

For Brazil there is always a Real next time, because their record proves it. Brazil will always be the team to beat in any tournament and the team that has most chances of winning the world cup.

[romanesq]

Yes, they did. And they did it repeatedly. Brutal.

[Eurotwit]

Brazil?

All hat, no cattle

[Churchillspirit]

My heart was with England the the USA in this tournament, but my head said Brazil.

Just a pity that they have adapted the European style of football and lost the wonderful flair that was once their trademark. Probably because so many of their players play in the Euro. leagues.

[jveritas]

Yep you are right. Brazil only has five world cups, had been 7 times in the finals, not to mention that they have record of getting in world cup every single time, scoring the most number of goals in world cup history, producing the best players in the game, etc...

[Eurotwit]

Brazil has not shown any of the legenday flair since 1982.

Tele Santana just passed away a few months ago.

[Eurotwit]

And once upon a time the British Empire spanned the globe.

Besides, how can anyone rate a team with a loosing record against Norway :-P

[jveritas]

Brazil lost this year because of the lack of discipline not the lack of talents. Their coach could not discipline all the egos he has on the team, if Scolari was the coach, Brazil will be holding the cup for the sixth time tomorrow.
