3rd Placed Game
Germany vs Portugal
Bastian Schweinsteiger enjoyed a night to remember in the hosts' farewell match at these finals, scoring twice in the second half as Germany finished the tournament with the bronze medal - and 14 goals to their name, three more than any other team with just Sunday's Final to play.
Schweinsteiger opened the scoring with a swerving shot from distance after 56 minutes and five minutes later the same player's low free-kick was diverted into his own goal by Portugal's Petit. With 12 minutes remaining Schweinsteiger struck Germany's third goal with a fine effort into the top corner before two Portugal substitutes conjured up a late consolation for Luiz Felipe Scolari's side.
Luis Figo, on his final appearance for his country, sent over a perfectly placed cross for Nuno Gomes to head past Oliver Kahn, denying the German goalkeeper one last clean sheet before he too bowed out of the international arena.
First Half:
5': The first chance of the game fell to the hosts. Bernd Schneider whipped in a free-kick from the right and it was headed down by Christoph Metzelder into the path of Sebastian Kehl who fired the ball narrowly wide from just inside the area.
8': Schweinsteiger played in Miroslav Klose with a fine through-ball, but the striker hit the side-netting with his right-footed effort.
15': Simao Sabrosa found Pauleta with a fine pass but with only Kahn to beat, the Portugal striker fired the ball straight at the German goalkeeper, back in the side in Stuttgart in the place of Jens Lehmann.
20': Kehl's dipping shot from 20 yards almost caught Ricardo off guard, but the Portuguese No.1 did extremely well to tip the ball over the bar.
25': Podolski, awarded the Gillette Best Young Player award the day before this match, stung the palms of Ricardo with a powerful left-footed drive.
31': Deco was allowed time and space to turn and shoot in the area, but the German defence were thankful to see the ball sail over the top of the bar.
36':Simao was close to steering Deco's corner past Kahn, but the Benfica man missed the ball by a matter of inches and it flew across the face of the goal and to safety.
Second Half:
51': Both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances at the start of the second half. Simao’s free-kick from 25 yards whistled just over the bar, provoking gasps from the Portuguese fans.
56': Schweinsteiger moved inside from the left-hand side and unleashed a right-footed shot from the edge of the area which deceived Ricardo. The ball flew through the keeper's arms to give Germany the lead. (1-0)
60': Klose’s cross from the left picked out Philipp Lahm at the far post and the defender hit a first-time shot which dipped over the bar.
61': Schweinsteiger's low free-kick was deflected into his own net by the unfortunate Petit. (2-0)
63': Meanwhile, at the other end, Kahn pulled off a fine save to turn Deco's goalbound shot around the post for a corner.
78': Figo almost made an immediate impact after taking the field, helping to set up Cristiano Ronaldo, who shot straight at Kahn. Play switched to the other end and Schweinsteiger scored a virtual carbon copy of his earlier goal, hitting an unstoppable shot past Ricardo from 25 yards. (3-0)
82': Simao's cross from the left was almost turned into his own net by Metzelder, but the ball somehow the ball stayed out of the net. In the same minute, Ronaldo's swerving free-kick almost deceived Kahn, but the veteran keeper was still able to save despite initially diving the wrong way.
88': Figo delivered a great ball into the box and Nuno Gomes was left with the easiest of chances to nod the ball past Kahn. (3-1)
In conclusion:
A great second-half display from Germany as Schweinsteiger breathed life into this encounter and helped the hosts to finish in third place. Portugal were unable to equal their feat of finishing third 40 years ago, but Figo served up a piece of magic on his goodbye appearance, as his inch-perfect cross provided the ammunition for Nuno Gomes' goal.

Indie Music News outside the 313
all them are from my tursted sources web sight with the souce in this syble = ()
the Rapture will release "Get Myself Into It", the first single from Pieces, on August 21 in the UK. For the time being, however, you can hear it on the band's MySpace page.
Another way you'll be able to legally hear new Rapture music before the album's release is by buying EA Sports' new Madden NFL 07 video game, which will feature the song "W.A.Y.U.H." on its soundtrack, alongside tracks from Wolfmother, Spank Rock, Keane (?!), Lupe Fiasco feat. Jonah Matranga (??!!), and a bunch of punk and emo bands. (pitchforkmedia.com)
Currently in the throes of an epic world tour (which started in June), Massive Attack just announced a U.S. tour, their first in eight years. The trek includes an appearance at L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl, a three-night stint at New York's Roseland Ballroom, and headlining gigs at the V Festival in Toronto and Austin City Limits.
Sixty thousand festival-goers got a sampling of Massive Attack's current live show at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Fest in April. With a line-up featuring two drummers and vocals by Horace Andy and former Cocteau Twins' singer Elizabeth Fraser, Massive Attack played live renditions of "Angel", "Karmacoma", and "Safe From Harm", among other classics.
as yes there will be a detroit Date:
September 12, State Theater
Somewhere in between criss-crossing the globe, Massive Attack continue work on their fifth studio album, Weather Underground, which is slated for release in early 2007 and features contributions from TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek.(pitchforkmedia.com)
Virgin's hugely popular British rock fest, the V Festival, will drop into Toronto's Island Park on September 9-10.
There are over 40 bands on the Toronto roster, including the Flaming Lips, Massive Attack, Gnarls Barkley, the Raconteurs, Wolfmother, Phoenix, the Hidden Cameras, the Dears, Jose Gonzales, Starsailor, Alexisonfire, Zero 7, Eagles of Death Metal, Thrice, 2ManyDJs, K'Naan, and Sam Roberts Band. The fest aims to draw 50,000 concertgoers, which just might happen, considering the British V Festival sold out in a mere three hours.
The V festival will make its U.S. debut at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course on September 23. (Alas, Branson didn't do any rappelling into Bodymore.) Gnarls Barkley and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the only acts confirmed for that one so far, with the full lineup to be revealed July 10.(pitchforkmedia.com)
Those crazy mofos in Gnarls Barkley have added even more dates to their world tour, as their debut album, St. Elsewhere, continues to climb the charts. (It's currently number eight on the Billboard 200!) On August 14, they'll hit David Letterman; we hope by that point, they're dressing up like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
and that tour will have a detroit Date
Auguset 7 - State Theater

Left-wing English rocker Billy Bragg has won a small victory for the little guy, as his actions have caused Rupert Murdoch-owned MySpace to change their copyright ownership conditions. Unhappy with the previous terms that stated that MySpace had legal ownership over any form of content posted on the site (including photos, videos and music), Bragg pulled his music from the site. Seeing a potential disaster if all musicians followed suit, MySpace changed the rules to state that they no longer claimed rights over content posted on the site, but instead held temporary license to use and modify content if necessary. The non-exclusive license is mostly for digital compression and technical use and only lasts as long as you have content on your page (you can read up on it in Section 6 of the MySpace.com Terms Of Use Agreement). In other words, both basement musicians and rock stars can breath a sigh of relief, knowing that their prized tunes are safe on the site. (cmj.com)

The MySpace post was casual enough: "Dave plays in Gang Of Four and runs Pampelmoose. John plays in Tracker and runs FILMguerrero. Danny plays in Menomena and runs with the Devil. Let the fun begin!" But that announcement marked the introduction of Faux-Hoax (pronounced Folks), a new outfit featuring Gang Of Four bassist Dave Allen, along with guitarist John Askew and drummer Danny Seim.
"The band is an extension of an outfit I had here in Portland called Squall, which also included John and members of the rap outfit Lifesavas," Allen told us via e-mail. "We asked Danny to help us out by playing drums on some recordings early this year and the sessions went so well that we decided to start from scratch, so Faux-Hoax was born."
The band has already posted one song on their MySpace site. "Your Friends Will Carry You Home" features vocals and words by Portland-based musician Adam Gnade. "Dave, John, and I are just throwing different ideas around without worrying about fitting a certain theme or style," Seim told us.
"We are working on an album right now and hope to be finished in the fall," Allen wrote. "Then we'll weigh up on our options for how to release it and we will certainly be touring." (cmj.com)
Post-prog rockers the Mars Volta have announced a tracklist for their forthcoming LP, Amputechture. The album—the band's third—is their follow-up to last year's musical equivalent of a run-on sentence, Frances The Mute. Although the record has yet to be given an official release date, details surrounding its production are steadily emerging. Red Hot Chili Peppers mad genius/guitarist John Frusciante contributed axe-work to the project, something he did for the Volta's first two releases. It's also been reported that neo-surrealist artist Jeff Jordan will lend his painting "The Big Mutant" for the album's cover. This is not the Volta's first foray into this artistic enclave, having used works by legendary artist Storm Thorgerson—who also designed the cover of Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy and Pink Floyd's The Division Bell—as cover art for their first two records. (cmj.com)
Tom Waits is hitting the road, and his eight-show tour of Southern and Midwestern cities includes one stop he's making for the first time in his 33-year career.
In a tour that kicks off August 1 with Waits' first concert in Atlanta since the 1970s, the reclusive singer-songwriter will play his first-ever gig in Asheville, North Carolina, on August 2. The tour also includes stops in Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Chicago, Detroit, and Akron, Ohio.
"We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a statement about why he picked which cities he'll be playing.
Waits played a handful of live shows in 2004, but hadn't toured extensively since 1999, when he released his widely praised Mule Variations album. Anti- Records is reportedly at work on a long-awaited Tom Waits boxed set, although no release date has been set(MP3.com)
His Detroit Date
Aug. 11: Detroit :: Opera House
and Mariah Cherem of the The Avatars told me that this is Tom Waits first detriot show in about 20 years
tix go on sale on 7/14.
Jarvis Cocker, Pulp's charismatic frontman, releases his first song in over a year, "Running the World," and you can hear it first!
While many fans have weathered the Jarvis Cocker drought, their thirsts can now be quenched -- at least for a song's length. For his new song, "Running the World," Cocker combines a rollicking piano lick with the sexual/political sass and biting lyricism that popularized Pulp. Cocker has posted his newest creation on MySpace, as well as a brief apology for all the swearing, but we have it here for your listening pleasure. There's no word yet on when, or if, Cocker will release any additional material, but a greeting on his MySpace page is promising: "I hope this is just the start of a beautiful relationship."

The Lemonheads will release their first new album in close to a decade on September 26. The eponymous disc was recorded by band principle Evan Dando along with Descendents members Bill Stevenson and Karl Alvarez. Garth Hudson of The Band and J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. also appear on the record. The Lemonheads will tour this fall(fmqb.com)
And in the late breaking department
Legendary rock club CBGB (music) is throwing in the towel.
The New York City club that spawned the likes of Blondie, The Ramones and Talking Heads will shut its doors for good Sept. 30, after owner Hilly Kristal failed to arrive at terms with the owner of the building that houses the club.
Kristal, who opened the club in 1973 as a venue for country, bluegrass and blues (hence the acronym), had been locked in a fight for the last few years with the club's landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee (BRC), which initially hiked CBGB's rent and claimed the club owed about $80,000 in back rent, a figure Kristal disputed in court. While a judge ruled in Kristal's favor last October, the BRC declined to renew CBGB's lease.
The closing comes despite the efforts of many prominent New York political and cultural figures, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to intervene on the club's behalf.(livedaily.com)

The MySpace post was casual enough: "Dave plays in Gang Of Four and runs Pampelmoose. John plays in Tracker and runs FILMguerrero. Danny plays in Menomena and runs with the Devil. Let the fun begin!" But that announcement marked the introduction of Faux-Hoax (pronounced Folks), a new outfit featuring Gang Of Four bassist Dave Allen, along with guitarist John Askew and drummer Danny Seim.
"The band is an extension of an outfit I had here in Portland called Squall, which also included John and members of the rap outfit Lifesavas," Allen told us via e-mail. "We asked Danny to help us out by playing drums on some recordings early this year and the sessions went so well that we decided to start from scratch, so Faux-Hoax was born."
The band has already posted one song on their MySpace site. "Your Friends Will Carry You Home" features vocals and words by Portland-based musician Adam Gnade. "Dave, John, and I are just throwing different ideas around without worrying about fitting a certain theme or style," Seim told us.
"We are working on an album right now and hope to be finished in the fall," Allen wrote. "Then we'll weigh up on our options for how to release it and we will certainly be touring." (cmj.com)
Post-prog rockers the Mars Volta have announced a tracklist for their forthcoming LP, Amputechture. The album—the band's third—is their follow-up to last year's musical equivalent of a run-on sentence, Frances The Mute. Although the record has yet to be given an official release date, details surrounding its production are steadily emerging. Red Hot Chili Peppers mad genius/guitarist John Frusciante contributed axe-work to the project, something he did for the Volta's first two releases. It's also been reported that neo-surrealist artist Jeff Jordan will lend his painting "The Big Mutant" for the album's cover. This is not the Volta's first foray into this artistic enclave, having used works by legendary artist Storm Thorgerson—who also designed the cover of Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy and Pink Floyd's The Division Bell—as cover art for their first two records.

Tom Waits is hitting the road, and his eight-show tour of Southern and Midwestern cities includes one stop he's making for the first time in his 33-year career.
In a tour that kicks off August 1 with Waits' first concert in Atlanta since the 1970s, the reclusive singer-songwriter will play his first-ever gig in Asheville, North Carolina, on August 2. The tour also includes stops in Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Chicago, Detroit, and Akron, Ohio.
"We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a statement about why he picked which cities he'll be playing.
Waits played a handful of live shows in 2004, but hadn't toured extensively since 1999, when he released his widely praised Mule Variations album. Anti- Records is reportedly at work on a long-awaited Tom Waits boxed set, although no release date has been set(MP3.com)

Jarvis Cocker, Pulp's charismatic frontman, releases his first song in over a year, "Running the World," and you can hear it first!
While many fans have weathered the Jarvis Cocker drought, their thirsts can now be quenched -- at least for a song's length. For his new song, "Running the World," Cocker combines a rollicking piano lick with the sexual/political sass and biting lyricism that popularized Pulp. Cocker has posted his newest creation on MySpace, as well as a brief apology for all the swearing, but we have it here for your listening pleasure. There's no word yet on when, or if, Cocker will release any additional material, but a greeting on his MySpace page is promising: "I hope this is just the start of a beautiful relationship."

The Lemonheads will release their first new album in close to a decade on September 26. The eponymous disc was recorded by band principle Evan Dando along with Descendents members Bill Stevenson and Karl Alvarez. Garth Hudson of The Band and J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. also appear on the record. The Lemonheads will tour this fall(fmqb.com)
And in the late breaking department
Legendary rock club CBGB (music) is throwing in the towel.
The New York City club that spawned the likes of Blondie, The Ramones and Talking Heads will shut its doors for good Sept. 30, after owner Hilly Kristal failed to arrive at terms with the owner of the building that houses the club.
Kristal, who opened the club in 1973 as a venue for country, bluegrass and blues (hence the acronym), had been locked in a fight for the last few years with the club's landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee (BRC), which initially hiked CBGB's rent and claimed the club owed about $80,000 in back rent, a figure Kristal disputed in court. While a judge ruled in Kristal's favor last October, the BRC declined to renew CBGB's lease.
The closing comes despite the efforts of many prominent New York political and cultural figures, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to intervene on the club's behalf.(livedaily.com)

World Cup Review
Day 23 of The Torunement
Wednesday, July 5th
SEMI-FINAL NO.2
Portugal vs France
Winner Face on Italy on Sunday for the World Cup
Zidane scored two headers to help France beat Brazil in the 1998 Final and eight years later, in his final match before retiring, he has the chance to bow out with a second winner's medal in Sunday's Final against Italy in Berlin.
France's winning goal came when Thierry Henry went to ground under a Ricardo Carvalho challenge after 33 minutes and Zidane struck his spot-kick low to Ricardo's right. They defended their lead comfortably save for one heart-in-mouth moment in the second half when Fabien Barthez spilled Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick and Luis Figo headed the rebound over.
Portugal, semi-final losers here just as they were in 1966, will contest the play-off for third place with Germany in Stuttgart on Saturday.
The First Half:
1': Inside the opening 40 seconds of the match, there was a chance for France after William Gallas played a long ball over the top of the Portugal defence. Florent Malouda was the quickest to react, but with only Ricardo to beat, he screwed a right-foot shot wide of the target.
4': Ronaldo embarked on a mazy run on the left wing before slipping the ball to Deco in the centre of the pitch, who did well to create space. The Barcelona midfielder fired a low shot at goal,which Barthez almost palmed into the path of Pauleta, but the striker could not capitalise on the chance.
9': After more good work on the left, Ronaldo found Maniche. From 25 yards, the midfielder hit a rising shot, which whistled just inches over the top of the bar.
14': Zidane slipped the ball to Frank Ribery, who fed Eric Abidal marauding down the left flank. He hit a low centre into the box, but Thierry Henry could not find the decisive touch and the ball went agonisingly across the face of the goal.
16': It was Portugal who looked the brighter of the two teams in the opening stages and skipper Figo created a good chance for himself shortly after the quarter-hour mark when he had a low shot on target.
24': A quite breathtaking passage of play from Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team saw Deco interchanging passes with Deco, Ronaldo and Maniche. Eventually, Pauleta found himself in possession on the left, but his cross into the box was too high for Ronaldo.
28': Henry turned Miguel inside out with a series of body swerves and created a goalscoring opportunity. His shot, however, went straight into the arms of the grateful Ricardo.
33': France took the lead through a Zidane penalty, awarded after Henry was fouled in the area by Carvalho. The French captain hit the ball to the keeper’s right and although Ricardo dived the right way, he could not stop it from going into the back of the net. (0-1)
39': Ronaldo picked up the ball on the halfway line and dribbled deep into the French half, before unleashing a shot which was deflected wide for a corner.
Second Half:
48': Portugal enjoyed a prolonged spell of possession after the restart, but it was France who created the first chance. From inside the area, Henry's low left-footed shot hit the wrist of the diving Ricardo. The ball somehow spun behind the keeper's body and out for a corner.
49':A minute later, Ribery forced Portugal's No.1 into a fine save from the edge of the box. The Marseille midfielder hit a drive from the edge of the box, which Ricardo palmed away to safety.
53': Pauleta had Portugal's first opportunity of the second half. He forced his way past Lilian Thuram to give himself a clear sight on goal but blasted his shot into the side-netting.
70': Following a quiet period in the match, Everton full-back Nuno Valente tried to test Barthez with a looping shot from the left but the experienced keeper picked the ball out of the air with ease.
76': Portugal went close to levelling matters when Valente's ball into the box almost found Ronaldo and substitute Helder Postiga, but fortunately for the French defence it squirmed clear of both of them.
78': Agony for Portugal and a real let-off for France. Ronaldo’s long-range free-kick was parried by Barthez and the ball ballooned into the air and was met by Figo, who headed over with the goal at his mercy.
90+2': As time ticked away and French nerves began to flutter, Thuram headed a high ball into the path of Fernando Meira who volleyed the ball high and wide of the goal. Although Portugal forced two late corners, they were dealt with extremely well by the French defence.
In conclusion:
Zidane’s 33rd-minute penalty proved to be the difference between the two sides in a FIFA World Cup semi-final, which was high on perspiration if not inspiration. Les Bleus defended well when it mattered, although they were not tested enough by a Portugal side lacking a distinct cutting edge.

After Four very good Quartfinals with two upset, Two Pentaly Kick shootout and one Blow out (yes three - nin is conster a blow out) where down to only four just and only four teams Germany,Italy,Portugal,France after these next two games in the Next two game we will have the lucky two teams who surrvier between 10 to 20 games, three games of group play and three more Never racking game they will meet up on Sunday and tell everone who is the best in the world for the next four years untill 2010.
SEMI-FINAL NO.1
Germany vs Italy
With a penalty shoot-out looming, Fabio Grosso broke the deadlock in the 119th minute as he curled a left-footed shot past the despairing dive of Jens Lehmann from the right side of the penalty box. Substitute Alessandro Del Piero made sure of Italy's place in the Final when he beat Lehmann from close range in added time at the end of the extra period.
Italy now advance to their first FIFA World Cup Final since 1994 and their sixth overall. They will face the winners of Wednesday's Portugal-France semi-final in Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, 24 hours after Germany have contested third place with the losers of that match in Stuttgart.
First Half:
5': In a quick-paced, keenly-contested opening to this match, the first effort on goal came from the Italians, with Francesco Totti firing in a 30-yard free-kick that skipped up off the wall and, with Germans hearts in mouths, landed in the arms of a grateful Lehmann.
8': Terrific close control from Miroslav Klose helped create Germany's first chance of the match, with Lukas Podolski picking up the ball from his strike partner and teeing up Michael Ballack for a right-shooted shot that swerved wide of the post.
12':With the atmosphere electric inside the stadium in Dortmund, Germany gave their fans yet more to cheer with a sharp attack that ended with Podolski rifling in a powerful shot well blocked by the ever-reliable Fabio Cannavaro.
16': Having played some neat possession football in the opening quarter-of-an-hour, Italy carved out their first opportunity of note when a defence-splitting Totti pass sent Simone Perrotta racing in on goal. The Roma midfielder’s touch was heavy enough, however, to allow Lehmann to race alertly from his goal and smother at the on-rushing Italian's feet.
34': A glorious opportunity went begging for the hosts after Klose threaded through Bernd Schneider, unmarked and bearing down on goal on the right-hand edge of the box. The in-form midfielder's shot did not lack power but it fizzed over the crossbar, albeit by no more than a few inches. The German fans responded by raising the decibel level yet further.
41': Italy, having weathered a storm of German attacks, began to create some half-chances of their own, the best of which saw Camoranesi head just over from an inviting, outswinging Andrea Pirlo free-kick.
Second Half:
50': The hosts began the second half at a remarkable tempo and Klose, in typically positive fashion, bulldozed his way through the heart of Italy's defence only to be denied by the bravery of Buffon, who dived to save at the striker's feet.
51': Play immediately flowed to the other end, where an incisive through-ball from Perrotta picked out Grosso, who had run from deep to spring the German offside trap. However, the full-back then appeared to be caught in two minds as he found himself in unfamiliar territory, and with the goal at his mercy, he delayed pulling the trigger long enough to allow Lehmann to swoop in and make the save.
61': Podolski created a chance out of nothing, turning Marco Materazzi inside-out to leave himself with a clear sight of goal. His shot was well-struck, but for the umpteenth time at Germany 2006, Buffon came to Italy's rescue with a superb reflex save. From the rebound, Arne Friedrich blazed over, and another glorious chance had passed the hosts by.
73': Having watched his side dominate the second half, but appear to run out of ideas in the final third, Jurgen Klinsmann reversed the change he made to his starting line-up by bringing off Tim Borowski and putting on the more attack-minded Bastian Schweinsteiger.
78': A long period of inactivity for both goalkeepers ended when Lehmann was called on to deal with a speculative long-range effort from Pirlo, a task he performed with impressive self-assurance.
82': Michael Ballack wasted a promisingly-positioned free-kick, curling high and wide from the edge of the penalty area after Cannavaro was adjudged to have fouled Podolski. Seconds later, Klinsmann attempted to inject pace into his team’s attacking play by thrusting on David Odonkor in place of Schneider.
85': Perrotta looked to have broken clear of the German defence with a perfectly-timed run, but Lehmann was smartly off his line and confidently fisted the ball to safety.
Extra time:
91': Alberto Gilardino came closer than anyone before to breaking the deadlock. Bursting in from the right, he made his way to the byline before jinking back on to his left foot and squeezing in a shot that beat Lehmann only to come back off the inside of the keeper's left-hand post. Germany breathed again.
92': Less than 60 seconds later, a corner was only half-cleared and Italy rattled the woodwork for the second time in a minute, with Zambrotta smacking in a sweetly-struck 20-yard drive that left the crossbar shuddering on its way over.
105': With the last touch of the first period of extra time, Podolski spurned a glorious opportunity, heading wide substitute Odonkor's cross from a terrific position, unmarked some ten yards from goal.
111': An incredible moment of tension appeared to pass in slow motion as another Italy substitute, Del Piero, found himself faced with Lehmann but just could not find the angle to squeeze the ball home. Germany then swept immediately to the other end, where Podolski, on the left-hand edge of the penalty box, forced a magnificent one-handed tip-over from Buffon.
114': With the action now more entertaining that at any stage of the match, some neat built-up play in and around the German box ended with Del Piero hooking a disappointing right-foot shot wide of the far post from 20 yards.
118': Pirlo drifted in from the right and forced a superb save from Lehmann with a ferocious left-foot shot from 25 yards.
119': The German keeper could only divert the ball round the post, however, and from the resultant corner, Pirlo gathered possession at the edge of the box and teed up Grosso for a superb first-time left-foot shot that curled just inside the far post. (0-1)
120+1': As the hosts pushed desperately for an equaliser, a slick and speedy Italian breakaway ended with Gilardino playing a sublime reverse pass into the path of Del Piero. Opening out his body, the Juventus striker’s finish was nothing short of perfect, with the ball sent arcing into the postage stamp corner. Italy were through.(0-2)
In conclusion:
Only a couple of superbly-executed Italian goals could separate these two very evenly-matched teams on a night of high drama in Dortmund. Once again, Marcello Lippi’s side defended magnificently and the superb Buffon has still to concede a goal at Germany 2006 to an opposition player. However, while it is the Azzurri who march on to the Final, Germany - beaten in Dortmund for the first time ever - can reflect on their FIFA World Cup campaign with pride, having played throughout with spirit and skill in abundance.

Breaking Culture Sports News
Steve Yzerman Retire
One of the Greatest players the ever ware the Wing Wheel of the Detroit Red Wings Stevie Y have just announs his Retirement after 23 NHL season.
“I feel very relieved and very comfortable,”Yzerman said at a news conference at Joe Louis Arena. “I want to let everyone know I’ve decided to retire, to hang up my skates.”
Yzerman said that going into the 2005-06 season he figured it would be his last. But he said he thought long and hard after the season before deciding not to return for one more.
“I really enjoyed my final season with the Red Wings,” he said.

World Cup Review
Day 21 of the tounement
Friday, July 2
all match review will be from the official FIFA World Cup Site at yahoo.com or at this address fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en for more Info.
Quarterfinals No.3
England v Portugal
Neither of these sides could find a way through during 120 minutes of entertaining and closely-contested action, with Portugal unable to translate into goals a numerical advantage they had held for almost an hour thanks to Wayne Rooney’s 62nd-minute dismissal.
The match therefore became the second 2006 FIFA World Cup™ quarter-final to be settled on penalty kicks and, just as Jens Lehmann was Germany’s hero yesterday, so Ricardo was Portugal’s today, saving from Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher to leave Cristiano Ronaldo to stroke home the decisive kick.
First Half
2' A slip by Ricardo Carvalho gave Rooney had an early sight of goal but his shot was charged down.
7' Portugal failed to clear fully a David Beckham free-kick and Steven Gerrard worked his way into a crossing position on the right side of the Portugal box but overhit his far-post delivery.
9' A bright start revived echoes of these rivals' exciting UEFA EURO 2004 quarter-final. There were chances at both ends as Rooney fired a half-volley at Ricardo from 20 metres and Cristiano Ronaldo latched onto a poor John Terry pass and tested Paul Robinson with a low drive from a similar range.
13' From a Luis Figo free-kick into the box, England were left looking vulnerable as the ball ricocheted off a couple of white shirts but Tiago was unable to react quickly enough. Moments later Maniche let fly but his shot was blocked by a defender.
17' With England enjoying a spell of pressure, Rooney played in Gerrard inside the penalty area but his ball across the six-yard box was met by Miguel's boot.
19' The action switched to the other end where Ronaldo ran at Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville, jinking this way and that before firing a shot high over the bar.
39' Attacking down the inside-left channel, Figo stepped inside Frank Lampard and curled the ball just past the far post.
44’ Petit conceded a free-kick in David Beckham territory – earning a booking for his lunge at Joe Cole that means he will miss the semi-final – but the England captain failed to clear the wall. Lampard then drove a fierce shot at Ricardo as half-time approached.
Second Half
52':Beckham struck the ball at Nuno Valente's hand inside the Portugal box but referee Horacio Elizondo waved play on. It was the injured Beckham's last contribution before making way for Aaron Lennon.
53': The first opportunity of the second period fell Lampard’s way but with a clear shooting opportunity from Gerrard’s corner, the Chelsea midfielder shot into the ground and over.
59': England substitute Lennon burst past Nuno Valente and Carvalho, pushing the ball onto Rooney. He kicked thin air and Joe Cole fired the loose ball over the bar.
62': As at EURO 2004, Rooney's quarter-final ended early. Then it was injury, this time a red card for catching Ricardo Carvalho with a careless boot and shoving Cristiano Ronaldo in front of the referee.
68': Portugal finally put England’s goal under some pressure as Maniche’s strike was charged down and Figo blazed the rebound over from a tight angle.
78': After a patient build-up around the England penalty box, Miguel teed up Figo for a strike and the Portugal captain drew a diving save from Robinson. 82': Both goalkeepers were now being tested. Substitute Hugo Viana shot low at Robinson, then Ricardo parried a Lampard free-kick but Lennon's follow-up lacked the pace to trouble him.
90': England's ten men had Portugal's defence creaking and Terry shot just over.
Extra time:
99': England threatened as Gerrard drove into the area and crossed towards substitute Peter Crouch but Miguel got there just in front of the striker to head clear. At the other end Simao drew a fingertip save from Robinson.
107': Lennon skipped into the penalty area and went down under Valente’s challenge but Elizondo waved play on. Postiga had the ball in the net moments later but his header was ruled out for offside.
120': With Portugal pushing for a late winner, Miguel pulled the ball back to Maniche but he shot high over the top.
Penalties Kick Shootout:
Ricardo was the hero for Portugal with saves from Lampard, Gerrard and
Carragher before Ronaldo tucked away the winning spot-kick.
In conclusion:
A familiar tale for England, who once again exit a major tournament on penalties following a brave display. Portugal lacked the incisiveness to profit from their numerical advantage following Rooney’s red card but, as at EURO 2004, were more clinical in the shoot-out.

Quarterfinals No.4
Brazil vs France
Thierry Henry’s 57th-minute volley was the game’s solitary, all-important goal, and with Raymond Domenech’s side inspired by a vintage showing from Zidane, Brazil could have few complaints at the final whistle.
France now complete an all-European line-up in the tournament’s semi-finals, with their clash against England’s conquerors Portugal scheduled for 5 July in Munich, a day after Germany and Italy do battle in Dortmund.
First Half
1’: Zidane produced some excellent footwork in the opening seconds of the match. Sporting golden boots, he spun away from the attentions of the Brazilian midfielders, but over-hit a pass meant for Thierry Henry.
4’: Brazil won a free-kick in a dangerous position after Franck Ribery fouled Ronaldinho, buy Juninho Pernambucano's shot deflected off Patrick Vieira’s head and out for a corner.
14’: After a sustained spell of pressure, France forced a corner. Dida failed to gain the cross comfortably, but got enough purchase on the ball to push it clear of danger.
15’: Play immediately switched to the other end and Brazil created a good chance to score. Ronaldo whipped in a good cross and Kaka was just inches away from steering the ball past Fabien Barthez.
26’: Lucio conceded his first foul at this FIFA World Cup when he clipped Henry’s heels. Zidane hit the free-kick over the bar.
33’: Ribery ran into Gilberto Silva and won a free-kick. Thuram charged into the box and got on the end of Zidane’s centre, but his header was aimed straight at Juan, who cleared the danger.
44’: Once again, Zidane was at the centre of the action to create a chance for France. After collecting possession and turning, he played the ball through to Vieira, who was racing clear of Brazil’s back four. Juan brought down the Juventus midfielder on the edge of the area and earned a yellow card.
Second Half
46’: Right from the restart, France were on the offensive. In the opening minute of the second period, Vieira met a Zidane free-kick with a glancing header, but the ball flew just wide of the post.
48’: Ronaldinho showed some fine touches to try and emulate the example of the enchanting Zidane. After displaying some excellent ball control on the right, he won a corner for the holders. Brazil managed to sustain the pressure for a few minutes and Barthez had to be alert to prevent Ze Roberto’s cross-cum-shot from finding the target or one of his team-mates.
54’: France had the ball in the net when Henry latched on to Vieira’s flick-on and slotted home, but the linesman rightly ruled the effort out for offside.
57’: Just three minutes after being denied, Henry broke the deadlock. A free-kick from Zidane was floated into the box and the Arsenal striker was left unmarked to steer a right-footed volley into the net.
61’: Ribery spun away from Lucio near the corner flag and attempted to square the ball to Zidane. However, the ball took a deflection off Juan and flashed just past the far post.
70’: France broke quickly and Ribery looked certain to score, but Dida narrowed the angle and blocked at the winger's feet on the edge of the area.
81’: Substitute Robinho had arguably Brazil’s best chance of the game, but the Real Madrid man shot wide of the target when well placed in the area.
88’: Ronaldo was fouled on the edge of the area by Thuram, and Ronaldinho stepped up to take the free-kick. With hearts in mouths across France, the FIFA World Player of the Year curled his effort inches over the crossbar to the great relief of Raymond Domenech’s side and their noisy supporters.
91+’: Substitute Louis Saha was played in by Zidane for a shot that Dida saved well. The goalkeeper cleared the ball downfield to put France on the back foot. Barthez denied Ronaldo with a superb stop and Gallas was on hand to clear the rebound ahead of Adriano.
In conclusion:
France fully merited this victory, orchestrated by the superb Zidane, whose performance was well worthy of the Budweiser Man of the Match Award. The 34-year-old was simply sensational in this match, supplying an inch-perfect cross for Henry’s goal and showing a superb range of passing and skills throughout the 90 minutes.

Quarterfinals No.3
England v Portugal
Neither of these sides could find a way through during 120 minutes of entertaining and closely-contested action, with Portugal unable to translate into goals a numerical advantage they had held for almost an hour thanks to Wayne Rooney’s 62nd-minute dismissal.
The match therefore became the second 2006 FIFA World Cup™ quarter-final to be settled on penalty kicks and, just as Jens Lehmann was Germany’s hero yesterday, so Ricardo was Portugal’s today, saving from Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher to leave Cristiano Ronaldo to stroke home the decisive kick.
First Half
2' A slip by Ricardo Carvalho gave Rooney had an early sight of goal but his shot was charged down.
7' Portugal failed to clear fully a David Beckham free-kick and Steven Gerrard worked his way into a crossing position on the right side of the Portugal box but overhit his far-post delivery.
9' A bright start revived echoes of these rivals' exciting UEFA EURO 2004 quarter-final. There were chances at both ends as Rooney fired a half-volley at Ricardo from 20 metres and Cristiano Ronaldo latched onto a poor John Terry pass and tested Paul Robinson with a low drive from a similar range.
13' From a Luis Figo free-kick into the box, England were left looking vulnerable as the ball ricocheted off a couple of white shirts but Tiago was unable to react quickly enough. Moments later Maniche let fly but his shot was blocked by a defender.
17' With England enjoying a spell of pressure, Rooney played in Gerrard inside the penalty area but his ball across the six-yard box was met by Miguel's boot.
19' The action switched to the other end where Ronaldo ran at Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville, jinking this way and that before firing a shot high over the bar.
39' Attacking down the inside-left channel, Figo stepped inside Frank Lampard and curled the ball just past the far post.
44’ Petit conceded a free-kick in David Beckham territory – earning a booking for his lunge at Joe Cole that means he will miss the semi-final – but the England captain failed to clear the wall. Lampard then drove a fierce shot at Ricardo as half-time approached.
Second Half
52':Beckham struck the ball at Nuno Valente's hand inside the Portugal box but referee Horacio Elizondo waved play on. It was the injured Beckham's last contribution before making way for Aaron Lennon.
