With Brazil gone, I think we all know the identity of the 2006 World Champion this coming Sunday!

I come to the opposite conclusion. With the upset of Brazil, it demonstrates that anything can happen at this stage.

...anything can happen at this stage

Indeed.

I hope you folks won't be disappointed if Germany loses to Italy tomorrow. The Italian team is fired up.

And just a reminder that Italy already beat Germany 4-1 in a friendly match last March.

May the best team win and may the ref not muck up the match.
