    I'm prepared to eat some humble pie if Italia wins.

    Did any of our esteemed Frontroom mods vote?

    I've backed Italy from the start and although I would like to see both teams raise the trophy, I kind of hope my original instinct is correct.

    Italy.

    France relies too much on their star player Zizou.

    Italy has a little more team play, and they have a much more solid, offensive-orientated game play with a decent defense backup too.


    Maybe France gets lucky and scores some goals (read: Zizou scores some goals), like against Brazil
    Italy seems more balanced, without the necessary luck for France, they will win.

    As to what-if, all such thinking is nothing more than simple mental excersises, to see how many details you can come up, but, history is forged by unforseen events, thus, making a what-if impossible.

    Right....Zidane has two goals. Same amount as Vieria and one less than Henry. One of Zidanes two was a penalty kick setup by Henrys dive.

    Italy offensive oriented with just a decent defense.

    You had me at Figo...

    right, but he dominates the game. Just him alone.




    that's my humble opinion of course

    Unfortunately the game everyone is pissing themselves over is the one that I wasn't able to record. I haven't seen replays of the France-Brazil game, but either way I'm not trying to say Zidane hasn't been playing terrific football.

    All I'm saying is that there is more to the French side than Zidane.

    I want France to win, but my thoughts point to a Italian victory.

    Henry for a hat trick.



    No. Seriously he will.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
