Hello, This is going out to all of our suscribers. Yesterday, I was sent an email through tech support "" Please ask greg contact me at *********** within next 24 hours. It's important or I will cl0se tag-b0ard.com "" I did not take that matter seriously and apparently, I should have. I am in contact with the FBI, and we are doing everything in our power to get tag-board back up and running again. I apologize for your downtime, and I assure you that the moment I know anything I will post another annoucement. Thank you for your time.
Well anyway, my nerves are a little ragged today after this morning's match -- Portugal lost to the French, 1 - 0 and no thanks to Zidane's winning penalty kick in the 33rd minute of the game. Not that it was the Portuguese keeper, Ricardo's fault; he's probably the best keeper at this WC to begin with but then... you can't be lucky all the time rite?
However, it was still a rather fierce game, especially during the second half when the desperate Portuguese made attempt after attempt to score a goal against the French -- but alas, to no avail. Seriously though, they were the underdogs of the match and their victory (IF they had won) would have been sweeter and more jubilant than that of the French. Too bad Zidane's such a good shot (that bald head, keen eyes and uber-cool attitude of his reminds me of a cobra... LOL).
How bitter the taste of defeat! And they were so close to being in the finals too! Oh well...
