[QUOTE="eoino, post: 143016"] And the French think were too optimistic? France win this world cup.. you make me laugh! Lets see, hmmm.. If France meet New Zealand along the way, or even in the final.. France might aswell not turn up. Lets just take the last few meetings between them, New Zealand punnishing them nearly each time.
