2 hours and a half to go, final bets.
I'll say France 1-0. Here's hoping.

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.

Hella. Paris has been a madhouse the last two games, i can only imagine what it's going to be like if we take the finals too.
i'll say France 1-0.

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 think Materazzi said something about his mother or something.
Certainly said something for Zidane to react like that.

Agreed, but if anyone's been playing dirty through the whole game, it's still the Italians by a wide margin.

Seriously though, if he's going to do something stupid like that, he might as well seriously injure the Italian, because they've already used all their substitutions.

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?

What a headbutt by Zidane! But what's he got to lose? He's retiring after this World Cup, so it's not as if he can serve a suspension...:p
What's he got to lose? His team/country losing the World Cup!
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!"
