Go Italy. Italy was going to win and they did. They controlled the first half but they let up a little bit on the second and when over time hit they domonated. They were the first team to beat Germany in that stadium. Being an italy fan i am happy with their proformence. but after playing for 8 years and only being 11 i have learned you need to presure. they presured well but they could have done better. i am happy because they won and i am even happyer that they beat Germany in their home stadium. YEAH GO ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My prediction, so far has been correct. Italy dominated the first half, Germany played better in the second half. Italy dominated the extra time.And……surprise,surprise:Italy played attack Soccer!No more Catenaccio! Also,no one is giving Lippi credit for substituting 3 strikers! Italy has never, ever done that in a World cup game!That proved that they were going for the win and they didn`t want to face the precision German penalty kick scoring machine! Italy attacked from the beginning and only stopped attacking 40% of the second half due to fatigue. Right now,Cannavaro is the best defender in the world!~What a super game played by (Santo Cannavaro, as the Spanish announcer calls him!)Germany did very well this tournament, much better than anyone thought, even as the home side. Congratulations to Klinsmann. I hope you come to America to help us out. We need you! I believe it will be Italy -Portugal, as I originally predicted. Forza Italia!

Excerpts from Sunday’s FIA post-race press conference – F1 Race in Indianapolis, USA; where
1st, Michael Schumacher {German} (Ferrari – Italy); 2nd, Felipe Massa {Brazil} (Ferrari – Italy); 3rd, Giancarlo Fisichella {Italy} (Renault – France).
.
.
.
Q: (Felipe Motta – Radio Panamerica) Question to Michael and Felipe: Michael, today Italy and Germany celebrate together. Next Tuesday they will fight in the World Cup. How is the environment inside the team, and Felipe, which side will you chose: Italy or Germany?
FM: I’m more for Italy, I have to say.
MS: We will look forward to it, and we will cross fingers for each party. It’s natural what my heart is going for although it’s mixed up a little bit, but the majority, anyway, sticks to the German side.
.
.
.
.
Q: (Todd Golden – Terre Haute Tribune Star) Giancarlo, Michael’s had a chance to talk about Germany’s prospects in the World Cup, what about your passion for the Azzuri and Italy?
GF: You know, myself and Michael are really big fans of football. We play together in a drivers’ team for charity. I think both of us play quite well. Apart from that…
FM: I don’t think so, no.
MS: You’d better be quiet, you’re out already.
GF: He’s Brazilian but he doesn’t play very well. It’s going to be a very interesting game. I’ve got on my helmet ‘Forza Azzuri’ which shows how important the World Cup is for me and to see them in the final and winning the final, of course.

Italy will win 4:1 :(

If it goes down to penalties Germany will win (I almost see this being the most likely scenario…as Germany knows they’ll have a hard time of it beating the Italian defence…I think they’ll play defensively for the penalty shoot out…Here they are freaks… I’d back Germany against any team if it came down to penalties…. So basically I think if Italy are to win they’ll have to go all out and go after the win…

Germany will also have the home nation factor

Also Italy is disadvantaged with regard to its preparation. That is, Italy has “softer” teams in Australia and Ukraine than Germany’s opponents Sweden and Argentina (mind you Sweden looked like one of the worst teams in the finals)

Anyway, I regrettably feel, these factors will undo Italy’s bid for a fourth…Well not really regrettably, I’m indifferent. Good luck to both teams

Peace.
