I think it's great that we have that KB/BK/GG video as a keepsake, but I kind of cringe a bit every time I watch it. I didn't think any of the three was particularly "on" in that performance, they didn't gel too well when trading solos, and to top it off, the ending was rather weak, imo.

Thank you, that was very enjoyable.

I'm very disappointed in the level of play lately. England's effort against Portugal reminded me of this year's U.S. team, although I think even we could have done better with out PK's. Rooney needs to grow up (hopefully he matures in the next four years). After England/Portugal, I was really looking forward to a great match between Brazil and France. France were terriffic, but Brazil didn't keep their end of the deal. Oh well, I'm happy for Zidane & co. Hopefully there's at least one great, memorable match yet to come, which I can look forward to watching on tape in years to come.

This looks like a job for... Seriously.

Console yourself with the knowledge that you bested me (I had the Dutch and the Swiss going through). At least my scenario for the final (Germany/Brazil) is still possible... I can't wait either... but if Germany don't pull off the upset, the aforementioned scenario will quickly become a rather obsolete notion.

The one warped LP that I still own is: I suppose I might eventually have to get ahold of some thick glass...

Not sure why a link couldn't have been added here... took me about four seconds to find this using Google: More Jazz at Comblain La Tour Never saw this one before... not sure I've ever heard of it, either. Looks pretty good.

You'd think somebody would have done a thorough study on this by now. I mean, I've been hearing about that oven idea for decades. I never tried it, mainly because I'm too cheap and lazy to go out and get the tempered glass. At any rate, if I was going to try it, I would certainly experiment first with a ________ (enter your idea of the cheapest, most laughable and worthless piece of crap vinyl here) LP, not the LP you're trying to save.

Yes, I agree. I should have mentioned it in my previous post, but there were a number of times when I thought Henry was being used practically as a "decoy". My complaints about his getting caught offside so often overlooked the fact that he was constantly drawing attention to himself this way. I also noticed that he was mostly doing this on the flanks, eventually allowing other players to run directly into the middle of the spanish defense.

The fact that he's a major star and a role model for young players makes it that much worse for me. I'm more than disappointed. Yeah, walk the line- don't keep stepping behind it! I'll grant you some of that, Scott. I think Henry might have had the line of defenders behind him on one or two of those as well, which of course makes it more difficult to time your move. Still, there were a few where he should have been able to see he was going to be offside. That's just lazy, and not only stifles the team's attempts at attacking, it bores a lot of viewers (and frustrates a lot of old farts like me who used to play forward, and love to watch offenses click!). Exactly... so a player of his caliber should give himself every chance to receive those passes in an onside position (I just never give up, do I? ). I hear you... I've seen a couple of missed ones in the last few matches (Adriano, anyone?). Even so, I still think they're doing a fairly decent job. They're not going to get them all right, and the passive offside factor (which seems to be coming into play more and more) can make it more difficult for the linesmen to stay focused on where to look when the ball is released. As much as I'd like them to get the highest possible percentage of these right, I can accept a blown one here and there if they're close. The ones that really bug me are the ones where the linesman is apparently watching another match on his cell phone.
