[Leica] World Cup

[rangefinder at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

Agree for everything. Portugal played for their reputation (as divers as 
well than as hard tacklers), and France played once more it's slow, 
security-minded, unattractive game. Portugal showed some more initiative and 
the score is flattering France. But all in all it was the kind of match that 
is forgotten after one night. 

C. Ronaldo is said to be in negotiations with Real Madrid anyway.
