Now, that was a great game.
Fun from start to finish… still think Portugal got robbed on a penalty kick call that should have happened. If that game had evened up at that point… whoa!
So we’re down to an Italy/France final on Sunday… I think the Italians will take it, even though France is playing better at the moment. The whole italian backstory is going to fire them up for the final.
But, as per usual, the better game will be on Saturday. They’ve got nothing to lose, and will just play a hell of a game, as opposed to the final which will be heavily defensive and conservative. So, the Germany v Portugal game is the one to watch… I think Germany will take them, but who knows? It’s Figo’s last chance to shine… the German team is young, they’ll all be back in 2010..
And I will be in South Africa for those games.
