    Spain?

    Oh, and Italy for me. They have been the best team during the whole tournament, and unless they flop completely now, they should win the gold.

    Teekc, that's because there's only one thing that people hate more than Italians; France. :p

    Like in the Scorpio Simpsons episode.

    "Homer, which country do you like the least? Italy, or France?"

    "Hmmm, France."

    "Heh, nobody EVER say Italy."

    Then he goes on and bombs France with his doomsday device. :p

    [​IMG] Well, I think Italy will win because they played better so far, not because I have any deep affection for the team or their style of play. Simply put, they look more skillful and stronger than their French counterparts and have a better coach.

    And plus they cheat :p (Sorry Rutkowski, couldn't resist...)

    I'm sorry Vukodlak, I'm sure you wanted, I don't know, Argentina in the final instead. :p

    Well, France, Italy, Brazil, Germany and Argentina only had one match each in which they looked like potential world cup winners (against Brazil, Germany, Japan, Argentina and S&M). Portugal, England and Holland never even looked close. Spain looked good for a moment and then choked as per usual. Overall, I'd say there was no one team that impressed me too much.

    I guess that semifinals had three best teams in the tournament so not too bad.

    Was for Argentina, Italy and the Netherlands from the start so I'm really going for Italy. Also, the way they've been playing kind of makes it imo the more obvious choice.

    Wont mind too much if France wins though, they played like crap until Spain but I have a soft spot for Zidane right now, it would be nice for him to go out with a bang.

    France will win, Zidane is light years better than Totti and Henry is in vastly better shape than Toni. The defence looks rock hard in both teams. Italy got better wings all in all but not by much. I like both teams but the fact that Zidane is "back" has pushed my allegiance over to the frogs.

    Yep, Zidane is going to be recorded as winning the world cup twice. Twice. The Azzuri have to lose.
