Few shots on the goals by the Brazilians? Please.... They played a terrible game.

France cannot beat Germany, it is an impossibility. You are betting on the wrong team here if you think the frogs are going to win the World Cup in Germany. When they played Brazil I gave them a 60% chance of winning not because they are better than Brazil but because the Brazilians have just a historical psychological problem overcoming the frogs. On the other hand France has the same problem beating Germany in a World Cup in fact France has a problem beating any Power house soccer nation except Brazil, which kind of odd because most teams in the world have problems beating Brazil.

Brazil will always remain the best soccer nation on the planet and the record clearly shows it. There is always another time for Brazil and another opportunity to win yet another world cup, so far they have five and they will have their sixth and seventh.

The 'best team on the planet' got their arses handed to them by France in three World Cups. France will conquer the Krauts to reclaim their World Cup. The samba boys can watch it on the television.

'France cannot beat Germany, it is an impossibility. '

It was apparently an impossibility for them to beat Brazil in two of the last three World Cups...

I figure since every other WC is played outside of Europe, Brazil will win every other WC, but forget it when it's in Europe. Brazil hasn't won since '58 in Europe. But they definately should be favorites in South Africa.

Hmmm. Les Bleus have beaten Brazil three outta the last four. Germany last won in 1990. France last won in 1998. Zidane and company may or may not win another game, but they deserve more respect that you give them.

Also, you think Brazil will ALWAYS be the best soccer nation? Clearly, you do not know what's going on in the good old USA. Watch youth to high school soccer. Given the right coach (and yeah, that's a dig), we will make the semi finals the next two cups and win one of them. Even as the country's fourth sport, we will start to dominate.
