Who will win the world cup
- Thread starter makemyday
- Start date
Portugal has not shown anything and they are lucky to be where they are, although, they will have some key players back next match.
vs.
France seems to be playing with emotion. "Win another one for Zizou". They've played well, but have really only beaten good teams that were playing poorly.
Win = France.
Germany. Well, this is "my" team, so I'll give my biased opinion that they'll win
. Though, Ballack has looked awful (Germany's Beckam). The team seems good, but still a little too young on defence.
vs.
Italy. When they play well, they play well. When they go up a goal they have an annoying habit of sitting back and playing defensively. If Italy plays 90 minutes of offensive minded style, they'll win.
Win = Either way, but I'll choose Germany because they tend to somehow always find a way to win when they shouldn't.
World Cup Final:
Germany vs. France
Win = Germany. Home field advantage.

I think Italy will win.
They have the goal keeper, the defence and at least 3 threats to score.
Bad stuff can happen of course.
I can't see Portugal, they will play a man down.
Germany can't be counted out, France has less a chance than Germany.
So in order of chance;
Italy
Germany
France
Portugal

Yah, I fully expect Italy to win, but my German blood cannot resist the temptation that Germany will win.
Portugal has looked downright awful and have had the luck of meeting teams that have self-destructed.

France and Germany ... if France can score during the game, they will win ... if it comes down to the dreaded penalty kicks then Germany.twoblues said:
for the final game they should just play until someone scores ... if it takes four hours then so be it ... might give the blighters some incentive to know that they are not getting off the field until someone kicks the ball!

Italy....all the way!!! The boys will do it and commercial street will be ...once again....alive and kicking!!!!!And of course...I'll be there!!!!
Seeing as I am a German, I can't help but root for Germany as my English boys are out.... What a sad day it was!
!!Deutschland!!
!!Deutschland!!
You're all wrong
Though I be part German myself, und Ich liebe dem Deutscher Volk ich glaube die Portugesen sollen habt der sieg!
The Portugese will take it all the way to the cup

I'd love for Portugal to win, but they don't have the historical pedigree. The Italians like the French, are inconsistent. With Brazil out, this is purely a European game played European style (ie: focus on team organization), and we saw just how masterful the German team were at an organized European style football back in 2002.gotsome2004 said:
An die zweite mal und für immer und ewig, die Deutsche siegreich sind!
italy
in feb italy spanked ger 4-1,german defense fell apart, Italy is also motivated by former teamate Pesotto jumping out of 45' window over Juve scandal,nothing like team unity and a heartwrenching story to motivate,and Gatusso is an old school grease ball thug,looking to pillage wherever he can, I love it.when Italy plays their best they are unstopable,it's their cup to lose,best goalie,best defense deep deep midfield and forward,yet to give up a goal!

Italy is in the final.
Both Germany and Italy had great goal keeping. Italy's goal was scored in the 29th minute of extra time on the failure of Germany's defence to clear an initial cross by Italy. Grosso scored the first goal and then del Pirro scored a second just as time ran out.

Italy did what most clubs don't in extra time...they went for it. They opened up and turned on their offense. They clearly didn't want it to go to penalties.dessert said:
It's sad and it's not sad. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing people talk about FIFA conspiracy theories, how the officials are "encouraged" to make sure the host country get to the final (apparently FIFA wins big if this happens).
I don't feel too bad for Germany. They went to the final in 2002 and they won it in '90. Italy's dry spell goes back a little further.
told you so
well lets not forget in the first 2 mins of extra time Italy hit a post and a crossbar, and for the dude who said they were ok in reg time ,are you freakin dreaming,even the anouncers said it was the best game of the tournament,people piss and moan about Italy,but for once they are putting it all together and playing as a team, oh yeah still haven't given up a goal all tournament,so Fuck Craig Forrest,and Graham Leggit and the rest of the sportsnet announcers who picked Germany,double fuck Germany,czechs,the English can lick my Deigo,Wop balls ,and Brazil can eat shit and die with their no depth bench and Swiss cheese defense,lets hope Portugal can squish the fruitty ass French,and give Comercial Drive,the party it deserves, not the "drive" for the hippy fuck,yuppy scum,bohemian wackos from allover the country, it's Comercial for short,for the people who grew up in the east end,Forzza Azzuri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!p.s Avarice, Gatusso would kick Rooney in the balls,steal his wallet and fuck his Mother doggie style ,then wipe his cock on her drapes. I know I would,filthy gypsy Rooney.
