Not that we love the French - in fact they did poor in the pre-finals - but Zidane is great. And I think they´re easier to beat than Brazil for the new German style of playing soccer.
I really have to wonder, why is that Euro teams don't do well in the WC outside of Europe, and why South Americans don't do well in Europe?
Germany will win the World Cup now, Congratulations! You you remain one less World Cup than Brazil, some more work to do :)
