I think it is only natural to feel slightly less enthusiasm for the

team/place that shatters your dreams. I felt that way about  a couple of countries for about oh, a day. Of course it makes no sense but it is real

Taps and Ann--you may be right. Better, though, this than a "barbaric" war

And Kingmi, FRANCE looked stronger all the way. The plucky Portuguese had some great shots at goal but Mother Mary and Father Luck did not smile at them today. I guess our heavenly parents get confused when two largely Catholic countries seek their helop in the same game, at the same time. (No offense meant by this light comment). Shalom

YPunday, that sounds like a childish reason to refrain from going to Algarve.

Kingmi, the last time that happened was in 1975

If I believe the article I read, then posted. But Portugal has momentum.... and Zidane does not always play as well in these later years unless there is a Ronaldo to egg him on. Could we have two upsets in a row before the FINALS?
