::So its all down to Italy and France, for the final showdown in Berlin. Seriously, there's nothing much to separate these 2 sides, but i'm rooting for Italy because of their new attacking style with defensive stability. But France with the resurgent Zidane always looked dangerous. Its a great test for the Italians to keep up the likes Zidane and Henry.

Cannavaro and Pirlo are 2 of the star performers of the Italian side, that have conceded only an own goal in the entire tournament. Battle of the tacticians? Marcello Lippi and Raymond Domenech. An interesting thing to note that these 2 teams are made up of many former n present Juventus players. Zidane, Vieira, Thuram, Henry, Trezuguet from France, and Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Buffon, Cameronesi, Del Piero from Italy.

Although Italy are favourites, don't write off the French yet. For a team that has knocked out Spain, Brazil and Portugal, you don't really wanna mess with them. But the Italians are of a different class. With the match fixing scandal back home, many players could find themselves from being world champions to serie B players soon.

Nothing much to say though, juz wanna enjoy the last match of the World Cup. No joke, but i guess i've clocked more than 30 matches this month...Not bad considering i've no cable TV at home.

Germany has won 3-1 over Portugal in the third-place match yesterday, but its hardly a match at all. Who will remember the third-place country of the world cup? Winning is everything is football, and only the champions will be remembered!

Italians or French?? The Football Festival is here again!::
