I'm not really a soccer fan, but I have enjoyed this WC. Maybe it's the HD broadcast. Maybe it's the early afternoon start times. Or maybe I just love sports. The Italy vs Germany game yesterday was fantastic! I watched every single second. Am I alone?

Imagine getting to watch international competition LIVE. Something the nets ought to think about!

And thankfully we get to watch it on Univision and not hear the blather from the ABC jackasses.

No but I could have done without the last 120 seconds.

You are not alone. If you know the game and watched carefully it was a beautiful game. Even the reffs let them play on a lot. I was not suprised at the final result.

Fantastic game, indeed.

And, NO, you're not alone as 1,300 millions people around the world are watching the sport that completes life.

I predicted a 2-0 Italy win against Germany and a France win (forgot the score) on a previous thread, with Italy the ultimate winner in the final.

Yellow cards:

France: Thuram, Sagnal, Vieira, Zidane, Ribery, Saha.
Portugal: Ricardo, Carvalho, Valente, Maniche, Figo. Petit, either injured or red carded.

Italy has only one yellow (Camoranesi), but it's irrelevant as he will be able to play the final. Ergo, Italy will play the final in full. Whereas, France, if as I predict will beat Portugal, could have two or more of their star players not able to play the final, depending on the ref.

Forza Azzurri! Make the world bite their tongues!
