France 0 Uruguay 0

I didn't watch all of this game; am "off" football today for some reason. I can't even comment on Henry's dismissal, as I didn't see it! I did see the majority of the second half though - and it was a frantic affair, for sure! It seemed that France had the majority of the play and the majority of the shots - and yet Uruguay had the best chances to actually score. The fellow with the canoes was absolutely hopeless. Recoba was not much better; always choosing to have a shot himself when crossing to one of his teammates would've been a more sensible option. The French stay alive then - just.
