I predicted a Germany vs. Portugal final...

 

With that in mind, I'll pick France :unsure:

 

(GO ITALY)

if i had to pick the two teams that i DIDN'T want to see in the final, it was these two. the italians always played a style of defensive, counterattacking football that i just find boring. and i'm not a big fan of France ever since they took out Brazil in '98. that being said, France has played extremely well since the round of 16, zidane is quite the field general.

 

i'm just rooting for a solid, entertaining game that is decided by the players on the field, and not the officials.

How come, even though I know next to nothing about soccer, when I make World Cup predictions I can get them all right but when I make NBA predictions, something I know alot more about, I have a spottier track record?

 

Anyways... Italy.

Doesn't it just come down to whichever one surrenders first?

no this is soccer, it's whoever scores the most goals, either in regular time, overtime, or in a penalty kick shootout. HTH!

it'll probably come down to which team the refs award a controversial pk to in the 2nd half's injury time after 90 scoreless minutes. although a gut feeling tells me henry's up for a huge game along with his elderly buddies... 1-0 france.

I think it comes down to a shoot-out and France will surrender just prior to it!

:pointstosky:

 

Exactly why you'll never catch me bashing the French. That kind of favor goes a very long way with me.

 

I want to root for Italy because I like their style of play (when they think the game is worth playing, that is) and of course we can claim we tied the champ so we can't be the total suck. But I can't root against Zidane, I would love to see him win it again and cement his place in the soccer pantheon.

 

Besides, I gotta love him after this extra cool story about how a ghost convinced him to come out of retirement. I can see it all like it was real: some dead French football fan coming to him and saying, "You gotta come back! We can win if you play! Believe me I can see it all from up here, we can do it!" :banana:

Brain says Italy in a close one. Rooting for France. Love Zidane...plays the game the right way, incredible talent, and from all appearances a genuinely good guy too (though you never know).

I wonder what the over/under is on cans of "Magic Spray" used for all the focking diving and crybaby acting.

I have the over/unders set to:

Number of Italians carted off on a stretcher 3.5

Number of Italians carted off on a stretcher that return to play 3.5

Number of Italian flops that generate a foul 15.5

Number of Italian flops that generate a yellow card 2.5

Number of Italian flops that generate a red card .5

Number of times I personally call the Italian players poosays for their flops 25.5

As far as I consider myself a soccer fan, I have to say that this WC has been a puss fest. Give me an ugly, but honest MLS game instead.

i'm a little bit in a bind on who to root for. before the cup started i was rooting for teams in this order:

 

1. Portugal

2. USA

3. any team that beats brazil.

 

yes, france beat brazil, but they also beat portugal. hmmmmmm.

 

 

 

i guess im just rooting for a good game with no ref interference. but i know it wont be the case since the entire italian team and france's Henry dive all over the place.

 

 

and i will bet a bazillion dollars that if france does score a goal today, it will be because a Henry dive, either a penalty kick or a close free kick
