France's elegant plays -- the World Cup semifinals 2

France vs. Portugal. Score was only France's one goal and it was PK. I'm glad that France won but I feel sorry for a Portugal's player who gave France PK. He must be depressed very much.

Person of the match I choose is... France's defense. (It's not a person this time.) France's defense is excellent, wonderful, perfect!! Italy's defense called Catenaccio is very famous but it seems be the defense by force. But France's defense is very systematic and even elegance.

When Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo kept a ball, he always drew boos from the crowd. According to a newspaper, it may be due to his behavior on red card of England's Rooney. I also felt bad to see that he ran to a judge (very fast!) and took the lead in complaining although he wasn't a party in charge. Of course most stupid person at the time was Rooney though.

I found the nicknames of Portugal's Deco. He has three nicknames and "Deco" is one of them. Another is "Magico" its meaning is "magician". And "Japones". Its meaning is "Japanese". Why? Does he look like a Japanese? Hmm... Maybe.
