France V Germany final. Could go either way.
Portugal will beat Italy on penalties in a playoff for 3rd, 4th. Italy SUCKS in the shootout.
And yeah, Vieri, as you can see, my spelling of my posts is not the best.
Would post the stats, but dont got the book on me right now. Either way, home ground advantage is HUGE, and just because it doesnt mean they will win the final (nothing can make sure of that! Other than some Italian bribery), it helps a team immensly. Germany are going to be VERY hard to stop this WC!
And how about Zidane! That guy is simply breathtaking! Showed his entire arsenal of skill in that match, one of his best performances of all-time! He creates space where there is none, is strong, fast enough, incredible eye, reads the play perfectly, great ball skills, vision, has a shot, good at set peices! Who can ask for more! The big question is who will be the great of this era? Looks like its between Ronaldinho and Zidane! Although their time frames do not totally intersect with eachother. Ronaldo is the other possibility. The two men coming up who will be pushing Ronaldinhos crown are Messi and Robben I think.
Oh, and Scolari is the man! He must be a national hero back in Portugal! And with Deco returning, Im not totally convinced the French will beat them! Both Semi finals should be hard fought, although I just dont think Italy can do it with their defensive minded play. Germany is a forward moving machine this time around! Although hopefully Fringz plays!
