2 hours and a half to go, final bets.

I'll say France 1-0. Here's hoping.

I'm going to bed to appease my parents. I'll be up for the match at 4:00AEST.

If France wins, either they will have to do so on penalties or Italy will have to score on themselves. I'll give it to Italy 1-0 in extra time.

Aye (Ice Hockey Players talking about football :confused: ), I don't think they'll be able to get past Buffon otherwise.

The Azzuri 3-2 on PK's. I have yet to pick France to win a game in the knockout phase so if I chose them now they's only lose anyway. :D
I V Stalin

I'm still going to say 2-2 after 90 minutes, and 4-2 to Italy after extra time. I'm expecting a goddamn classic!

France on penalties like the France 98 semi between the two teams.

France by one. The great Zizou or Henry or someone will score on a free kick.

Gattuso will shut Zizou down and the back four willcontain Henry with ease, but Makelele and Viera will not be able to shut down Pirlo and Totti to the same degree. So the result depends on how Ribery does under this pressure. He'll do OK, but not enough to win.

Italy 1 - 0

I'd say France have the slight advantage as Italy have used all three substitutions while France have only made one. Also, France have managed over twice as many shots as the Italians.

Anyway. Start of the first half of extra time.

End of first period of extra-time. Penalties anyone?

Unless Grosso and Del Piero repeat their heroics against France.

Now anyone remember the last penalty shootout between the two? ;)

If this goes to penalties...who's going to take them for France? Henry and Zidane are off, Vieira would probably have taken one, as would Ribery - but they're all off. Trezeguet will take one, and I imagine Malouda, but who else? Thuram? Gallas? Makelele?

Well, my conspiracy theory (that Italy had been promised the world cup by FIFA) is looking better and better. First Henry is taken off with 10 minutes to go with penalty shoot-out looming, then Zidane does the dumbest thing possible. Suddenly have lost their two best penalty kickers just before the shoot-out.

Maybe all that was said to Zidane by the Italian player was, "Time to get yourself sent off so we can win the game!"
