So it's the winner of the Portugal-France match against Italy for the final?

I hate to say it, but France is looking mighty strong this year.

Me neither.

I would like to see Italy and France lose. But, I don't really care.

All Portugal has to do is paint a white flag on the ball and France will be penalized for "handball" in the 18 yd box...
And Portugal SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!!!

Hard to choose a side here. I think the bookies are underestimating the Portuguese, so perhaps I'll bet a small amount on them and root for Portugal.

Discuss.

Discuss? What's to discuss?!? England lost. May as well turn off the TV and go back to work. The only good thing that came after that was that Germany lost too. I'd like to see France repeat though, especially after some of the coverage earlier that said they had no chance at all. So I'll probably being semi-rooting for them.

If it's a Portugal v Italy final, as I think it will be, what's the over under on red cards during the final?

Speaking entirely objectively, with NO consideration of my own heritage, and no bias whatsoever as I am above such suspicion and need not justify, it is my pompous statement of fact that Italy will be crowned 2006 world champion of soccer, and will be as deserving of the title as any team who has ever earned the honor.

I'd like to see France win, because they play attacking football, are entertaining and Zizou is terrific.
