(and then clapping tadam-tadadadam)" but my favorite is "hai băieţii hai băieţii haideeee, hai băieţii hai băieţii haideeee". when we meet once i'll sing you the tune to this :) as for group C, it was called "the group of death". so it was. i was talking about the world cup 2006 in germany, when italy won the final against france, after penalty shootout. remember the zidane/materazzi episode? thats why i said runner-up – thats how you call the 2nd placed, right?

If I remember correctly, France won the FIFA world cup as recently as 1998. Or were you speaking of another tournament (Olympics, maybe?)? Or were you referring to current standing? Or did you mean that it was the same team as the one France fielded in 2002? Any which way, France are a great team, but Euro 2008 seemed to give the impression that they can't do anything right without Zidane...I was so hoping that France & Italy would draw...that would certainly have cheered the Yellow fans up....but... Anyhow, turns out that none of the C groupers managed to reach the semis. Also, Italy attained the dubious distinction of becoming the only group runner-up to not beat the other group's winner in quarter-final....c'est la vie...nay, c'est la futbol! What are they chanting in the video? Romania? Runner-up France? If I remember correctly, France won the FIFA world cup as recently as 1998.
