A re-match of the Euro 2000 Final..

Will the italians have their vendetta? Or will the French led by the great Zidane win it once more?

Once again I say.. it will be tough, but I trust Italy.

Let's hope for a fantastic and clean match. :goodjob:
 
0-0 after 120 minutes...then penalties.

Defence once again wins the tournament. The two best teams in defence meet in the final. They're probably the two most experienced as well. Pretty old on average, both teams.

Italy have to be favourites. Maybe they can capitalize on the weak points of France: Barthez and Abidal.
 
I'm supporting Italy (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt in the Australia match - they may have gone on to win it in extra time). 2-2 Italy win on penalties (I can dream).

with at least one red card for italy.
OK friend, gimme the stats about fauls and cards in Germay-Italy game, please.

And then, the list of fauls-per-game made by all teams in the WC.

You'll have some surprise.

About the final, I'd bet for Italy, but I think that both teams will let us enjoy with a non fully defensive football.
 
yeah, i heard so. but now that you re in the final, you should find comfort in that! :)
besides, this is the first wc i can think of, that there was no bashing on my team. is that good or bad?
gl!

Bad. Your team was pretty unsuccessful then. :p
 
Zidane has to go out with a win. :) I really want to watch a great a game, thats my only wish. I don't really care if we lose or win. The fact that our team got thus far is quite an achievment by itself as it was definitly not won a couple weeks backs.

A goal by Zidane in the last few seconds of the game would be a great way to end this World Cup, no doubt :D

Edit - I wish good luck to the Italian team aswell, they deserve their spot in this Final.
Edit2 - Typo
 
Despite the undeniable class of both teams involved, I predict a dreary game which will be decided by a single goal.

Please let me be wrong.
 
Italy is a much better team, than France. When you have Saha, Trezeguet and Henry, start just the last one is a big mistake.

I'm with you man :( I want to see the France that played against Brazil vs the Italy of the second half of the extra-time against Germany :)

Saha is ineligible due to two yellow cards.
 
:(
I have a bad feeling thinking that in Euro 2000 the two semifinals were
- Italy vs the Host team
- and France vs Portugal, when iirc France won with a questionable penalty. :mischief:
And Saha is diqualified, so if Domenech makes a sub in extra time, Trezeguet will be the one to enter in :mischief:


Baaaaaah (mi tocco le palle che è meglio...)

He he he... I guess that was not a good memory for the Italians ;) We even had a joke:
"how do you put a cork back on a bottle of champagne?"
"I dunno..."
"Well, ask the Italian soccer team"

;)
 
I predict a 2-0 victory for France.

If you let us win, I'll consider the whole thing equalised and forgive you. I promise I'll stop cursing French players (especially Wiltord) like I've done for the last 6 years.

If you win again, I'll hate France for the rest of my life!
