Yes, why do Spain always promise so much, yet fall short of expectations?

What a sensational first match! This is the biggest World Cup upset since Cameroon's 1990 defeat of Argentina. What in the world happened to France? They were completely without inspiration, and they were practically lost throughout the whole match. Zidane's absence sure proved costly. However I thought Senegal deserved the win, they played with determination and didn't just sit back to defend their one goal lead. A great match to start with.

Yeah, Ilike the way that the defender went to put the ball out for a corner, and Barthez saved it - thus keeping it in play and deflecting it back at the striker's feet. Just another blooper to add to Barthez's scrapbook this year.
