That one is awesome: Zidane the Football Scientist. He has some remarkable skills.

You have no understanding of football.

I bet on the Frogs at 20-1. They are probably the favourites now.

Well my teams are out, too. USA, England.

Sort of like me. Although I had Holland and Australia in my list, too. But, I'd like to see a Germany v France final.

I think it will Germany-France in the final too. Not sure who will win such a match.

Even with Deco back I just don't see Portugal giving France much of a problem unless France look past them.

Italy-Germany will be a struggle for both teams I think.

Portugal - Germany!!

Doesn't seem that many here are giving the Italians a ghost of a chance. We will see...

And maybe the referees will play a minor role in keeping the final games running smoothly rather than taking center stage.

With the specter of a France-Germany final in the World Cup, France prepares her battle flag.

I have a great deal of respect for the Italian team.   Germany, however, must be beaten at home; and the "open-bar" attitude about yellow and red cards seems to be over.

I don't do sports predictions.

However, I am definitely rooting for Germany and France.
