Thanks, Laurie, I recalled how into the whole anti racism movement you are so I was surprised that it survived that long .

can’t tell actually who will win, i predict a close one. Portugal showed they play a great football, Germany is..Germany..they know how to win a tournament even when they are not that impressive.

Greg, I never said we don’t delete offensive comments. I was referring to the borderline ones, such as “France takes players from Africa.” Not genuinely (or at least overtly) racist, merely uninformed. Some people have called for them to be deleted, but I feel that in these cases deletion serves no purpose.

The comment on this post wasn’t borderline, that was over the line, and Daryl is deleting it as I’m typing this.

This should be a fantastic match. I’m not really sure that I can say who will win, it’s really too close to call in my opinion.

I definitely think that Germany will do better than some people seem to be expecting though; even though Portugal is dynamite.

So, Laurie, based on your recent blog regarding how to handle racist comments, I’m assuming these two fantastic remarks are being left up for the purpose of “education”?

Portugal will win IF Nani plays.

Simple as that.
