Well I think maybe Brazil and Germany...

Italy VS Argentina
I'm a BIG fan of Argentina, and I believe that they have the potencial to reach the finals.

Netherlands vs Argentina :>

Wait, nevermind us is already out

I think the finalists will be Brazil vs Argentina...South american teams seem to be great at sports :)

Have you seen the last match between Portugal and Netherlands. 14 yellow and 4 red cards were given

It's a new World Cup record, I think that the reason for all those yellow/red cards was the referee. He let things get out of hand.
Figo was one of the best players on the pitch and still, he got a yellow card. FIFA should recheck their referees, too bad Colina retired...

Colina is a god

I'm not sure the referee let things get out of hand, he was pretty generous with the cards after all
I'd say both teams just got frustrated of each other and the referee, a vicious circle where the players get more aggressive and the cards keep a-coming

Whether you're the best on the pitch doesn't mean anything, you could be kicked off the pitch even if you were the best on it.

As for the ref, he got a bit over-enthusiastic in that last match, naught to do with fifa, I'm afraid that's the last we've seen of him though

Well...it seems I was incredibly wrong. I hoped Italy would win but after I heard what that player said to Zidane i don't really like the Italian team anymore. What did you guys think about that incident ?

No matter what he said, i dont think Zidane should of reacted the way he did. 10mins left in extra time in the World Cup!!! Come on! He could have had an influence that could have tipped the game. One of the most stupid displays from one of the most talented players of all time.

Whatever one person says does not reflect on the Italian team as a whole.
As in not all of the French players are headbutters..


Don't know what Zidane was(n't..) thinking though.

finally, most of you (all?!^^) were wrong,

the german team played a wonderfull cup, its sad we didnt won ... i must admit that i really ... hate ... those italians ... was kind of a weird final ...

but france was way better ... simply no luck ...
