It's going to be the tour of the outsiders.
No telling who has a chance of winning it this year.

Wait now- what's happened? Have they cancelled the World Cup, now that England's out?
It's really all over now except the shouting and arguing and the writing of "Deutschland" on that bit of gold which is rightfully ours...
EDIT: Shouldn't swear about the refs...

Except the slight drawback that our manager messed that one up for us with Israel (two draws, two leads sacrificed), and a poor home performance against the French (having played them off the pitch in Paris), and two miserable draws against the tiresome Swiss. So you're not alone in resenting your gaffer, trust me.

But yes, I support Italy, all the way. Always have. Always will. And tonight I reckon they might give the Krauts a shock.

They're all so worried about where their next backhander is coming from, every single one of them plays for a team that's under investigation for fraud or corruption...
Germany 4, Italy 0.

And the last time this happened was 1982.
I don't think the Italian players have much to worry about personally-- I've seen no indication that any player has been implicated in the big ref-buying/match-fixing scandal. Their teams might wind up being relegated, but something tells me they won't have trouble putting food on the table.
And as it happens, the two players who have been most closely tied to the various other mini-scandals currently in circulation (Buffon and Cannavaro) have been among the best performers in the whole tournament.
Originally posted by Dragon FireExcept for Italy (who usually run away once things get past the shouting stage) we've beaten all the others many more times than we like to remember...
Tennis is boring.
and the footie isn't finished.
What about Italy, France, Germany and Portugal or don't these 4 countries exist?
