    A well desrved victory, Spain had the players and the opportunity but didn't press their advantage.

    I could see France win it.
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

      Thanks... I guess...

        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

          Just like the good old times.

          • What about a France-Italy final?

            If we manage to avoid that 6-0 against Argentina, of course

            • 6 of the 8 now are past winners. Uruguay is the only past winner that is not in the running (and its been over 50 years since they did).

              Line up the usual suspects, this tournament seems to be able to go to any one of the old skool.
              One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                • You know, for the whole match I really didn't know who to cheer for. The French team that humiliated us in the WC 1998/Euro 2000 or the Spanish team, pumped to the ridiculous by the home media?

                    Well, I saw them against Tunisia, and they were definitely not ridiculous. They have great abilities. Too bad for them they didn't manage to play as serenely as they needed (that was the same problem against Tunisia, until they scored the equalizer)

                      • What about this definition of pompous?






                        Only Brazil beats this arrogance, but THEY ARE GOING FOR THE SIXTH DAMN CUP

                          and? they'll just bottle it again, like they have done in every other tournament...

                            Thats why , in defiance of all logic and reason, I am picking Portugal as this years winner

                            Logic says a depleted Portugal is quite likely to lose to England but I won't let that get in the way of a good underdog pick

                              It is called cachondeo. You dont get it.

                                Its not arrogance to think you are the best if you actually are
