Guest overboosted Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I guess I am rooting for Italy, seeing that the blokes are out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 My heart says France. My brain says Italy. (In part my brain says Italy because my preference is France.) Besides, the wife is cheering for Italy. The knockout round matches have been so close that the outcome could go either way. A penalty kick, corner, or blink by the goalie here or there and you have a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelot Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well the truth is both teams will fight all the way till last minute but we would like to see real soccer Not penalties kicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasng Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Instinct tells me France will get get lucky and win the World Cup 1-0 with a goal by Zidane. Personally, this has been a disappointing World Cup for me. All of my top 3 favourites are now gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwai02 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) All of my favorite teams: England, Argentina, and Brazil are out. I hope Zidane can retire with another world cup champion. Go France. Edited July 6, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 In my opinion ITALY will win the cup. If the referee is as good as last night, France will win. If the referee falls for diving, dancing and acting performances, Italy will get a few undeserved free kicks that could tip the balance. I'd like to see how the Italian defence handles Ribery, Zidane and Henry all charging down at once, though. Alleyleyblooz! ps. Christiano Ronaldo: Footballing genius or diving, acting petulant prima donna? I know where my money is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I definately want to see Italy to win... Unfortunately France had a better day than Brasil and ruined the world cup.. And then with Portugal.. BORING BORING football.. I wish I could have seen Portugal-Brasil in the semi-final.. REAL football even with the diving acting of Portugal. The croud was Boooing C.Ronaldo and he was THE ONLY DECENT PLAYER in the field Defensive football is desgusting to watch, and I was the one who critisised Greece in the Euro and the same now with France. The only problem France will have in the final, is that Italy is NOT Portugal. They have a superb defense line and then if they score first they will get what they deserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I wish I could have seen Portugal-Brasil in the semi-final.. REAL football even with the diving acting of Portugal. Am I alone in thinking the final could actually be good? Still, Portuland have one match left in which to dive to their hearts' content.

socom Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) I think Italy will make it if they play like they did in their last games. I wouldn't mind seeing Zidane take the trophy though, he's just a great player and I honestly prefer the french style of football. Let's just hope it will be an offensive game not all dominated by tactics, lead by a ref who is consistent and leaves no room for speculations. However, I'd really like to see some more goals than in the France vs. Portugal game. Kinda odd, since my team is out it feels really good if you can cheer for each team....

ehtolcad Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 i'll be wearing my panerai cheering for italia! zidane is a class act and henry is due for a breakout showing but i think in the end italy will find a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I like both teams, but probably lean more towards Italy. I'd love to have Zidane end his career on such a note, but what has disgusted me about France is Thierry Henry. He used to be a man of principle but now he is a diving cheat, and that irks me. If France win, I hope it's after going down 1-0 and Henry is then subbed off, only for France to win 2-1. Otherwise I hope Italy win, with Luca Toni scoring a hat-trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanito Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 not my favorites but I guess Italy has better professional teams...hmmm.... but it would be nice to see Zidane retire with a World Cup... I just don't know..... ok... France... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertrinaustin Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hopefully, France will play the beautiful game and win 2-0, but I'm afraid the Italians will kll the game and eek out a 1-0 victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
