So we beat Italy in the last 3 official matchups (86, 98, 20000).. gonna be tight, I can't imagine lose a final, that gotta kill u ... we'll see, Zidane can't retire on a loss 8)
Do you think Lippi wil go with Toni from the start?

I don't have a clue, at the moment. But i think he'll use the same team who defeated Germany.
yep two proud Lakers fans lol, sunday we won't be in the same camp ;), I don't know Italy impressed me yesterday, I have a strong feeling this gonna end up in penalties. Good luck to u 8)So we beat Italy in the last 3 official matchups (86, 98, 20000).. gonna be tight, I can't imagine lose a final, that gotta kill u ... we'll see, Zidane can't retire on a loss 8)
Damn homie. I didn't want our teams to face each others in the final. One of us will cry. :-\
I don't understand one thing... why Lippi doesn't introduce Gilardino from the start and then Toni.. u know with his physical power (and with defenders tired), he would make much more damage in this situation imoDo you think Lippi wil go with Toni from the start?

Toni's contribution was terrible last game, he failed to hold up play at all.
I still think Lippi will use him from the start, and introduce Gilardino later.
I predict penalties

To be honest, I don't see a team scoring, both have great defenses n defensive miedfield, probably too much experience to make a huge mistake..I predict penalties
i hope not :-\

yep true... imo it's more down to Pirlo than Totti , he hasn't impressed me at all, when Pirlo always did the good choice, pass in this WCTo be honest, I don't see a team scoring, both have great defenses n defensive miedfield, probably too much experience to make a huge mistake..I predict penalties
i hope not :-\
It's down to Totti n Zizou.
Both will want to make that little difference, .. this could well be Totti's last game at international level too..
Italy have that edge having the extra days rest, and I think France looked very tired at the end of tonights game.
Pirlo>>Totti
I agree, 110%. But if you ask someone about Italy, they will always associate this side with Totti.
^^^ yep but u know good things are made to be repeated ;).. and DelPiero basically cost u the title in 2000, wasting 2 counter attacks at 1-0
^^^ what happened to staying away for a while?
since France strangely doesn't use Trezeguet and Saha is ineligible.well,too bad for Italy ..he's coming back
Stickyfied.
Imo, Italy looks the strongest at the moment, but France got such strict defensive organization that it's impossible to predict the outcome..
Henry vs. Cannavaro will be a key duel in this game, if Cannavaro can tame Henry, Italy will win, since France strangely doesn't use Trezeguet and Saha is ineligible.
Gilardino should start instead of Toni, and Iaquinta should have his name ingraved on the bench.
There you have it. :raisetheroof:
Materazzi being a complete monster could prove costly to Italy
and Saha is ineligible.
saha cant play the final anyways :-\
France.. but i don't have beef with either country
^^^10:30AMNo, it starts at 11am.
My dream: Del Piero to score. Del Piero deserves to win a WC by scoring the only goal. He deserves that.
^^make that 1 and a half :oIts at 10:30 actually, so 1 HOUR TO GO!!!!!!!!!!! :o
THAT WAS NOT A FUCKIN PENALTY
italy deserved that equalizer, if not a second
peace
WHAT THE FUCK DID ZIZOU DO ? :o :o :o :o HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU BE THAT STUPID OMFG
I kinda wanna say Zidane is a fucking moron, but I don't think he is, lol. The man is a legend, too bad he just ended his career this way :-\
maybe that Italian player said something to him that pissed him off?
what the fuck was zidane thinkin
i have a bad feelin the itals will take this
fuck
Zidane then leaves the arena and the guy that took his kick ends up missing

No fucking way. Last year on Cofederations cup Brazil beat Argentina 4:1 and that game shits on any on this wc.
Confederations Cup best game was Argentina vs Mexico. Complete war during the first 90 minutes and then in ET Mex scored first in the 1st ET and Argentina tied in the 2nd ET. Penalties, 5-4. Including a chipped shot. I don't see how a game where one team dominates the other is a good game, that's just a boring game with great plays during the game.
a great game is a mix of both :)Confederations Cup best game was Argentina vs Mexico.

a boring game is when the two teams just play at deffense the whole game expecting something to happen.football is all about great plays and goals that's what makes the game that's what I wanna see.go watch some golf
A great play in an extremely tight match makes it that much better.
Italy's Grosso Vs Germany
Argentina's Maxi Rodriguez vs Mexico
It's really amazing that you think the Brazil vs Argentina game in the Confderations Final is better than anything in this World Cup, it's amazing.
Fuck that... I'm very pissed right now but life ain't about football, it's hurts to lose in final though... Zidane proved once again you can't put "athletes" and "clever" in the same line, WTF he was thinking, not like he was a rookie :-X

Its a matter of taste I guess. You like it when its intense and probably goals scored in the last secs although they aint doing shit during the whole game. I like it better if its 90 mins of great football even if its 4:1 for someone.
For me even Confederations cup was better than this

I think he's a sleeper. You know, the guys who are usually very calm and don't talk much. Sometimes they break lose and go buckwild. Well, unfortunate that it had to happen in such a unsuitable situation... :-\
To sum up this world cup sucked cock. Very very small amount of goals, Argentina, Brazil, Spain going out quick.
Cannavaro (probably) winning the best player award tells you EVERYTHING about this WC :'(
Imo, Italy looks the strongest at the moment, but France got such strict defensive organization that it's impossible to predict the outcome..

Gilardino should start instead of Toni, and Iaquinta should have his name ingraved on the bench.
There you have it. :raisetheroof:
Out of France's 3 best/most important players, does anybody think it was a co-incidence that Henry & Vieira got injured, and Zidane sent off ??

I give myself props for this.
Cannavaro had decent control on Henry, and Domenech put on Trezeguet when it was too late, if Trezeguet came on earlier when Henry did one of his raids, I'm convinced that France would have scored, Henry was alone against Cannavaro & Materazzhole, Henry had no natural goalscorer to deliver to.
Toni & Iaquinta didn't do much either, why Gilardino didn't play is a mystery..
Lippi seems to have a Gilardino complex, like Domenech got a Trezeguet complex, and Scholari got a Nuno Gomes complex.. :D
