Every World Cup, at least one African team will be a surprise package. Last time, it was Senegal. This time, it's Ghana for sure. They look the goods, too.

Don't make me laugh.
England invented the beautiful game. Granted. But why did they forget how to play it?

By the way, BM, are you opening your house to your members here on the World Cup Finals night? Not me. Don Corleone is. He will make us an offer we can't refuse (unlimited free booze and food) and we will all meet there. Thanks Don.

Dang, Don. Pledge allegiance to your Italian flag? What if Italy doesn't get into the finals huh? Write to the ST? Gave up writing because they 'screen' letters and print only those who flatter their staff's articles. Women only? Surely, you jest? Young nubile lasses aren't interested in hanging out in places where there aren't any men! That leaves the wives of football crazy fans..their maids.....children..... Awwwwww.........

Okay my better half was wrong. It is a Italy vs France final. The Italians played very well in the semi - the fire of their desire to win literally burnt the pitch! They made the Germans look like 2nd division players. Oh well, the Germans were so confident about their place in the finals and that was their undoing. Great semi final!
France has a combination of older experienced and younger energetic players. Somehow if Italy retains their unquenchable zest for winning the World Cup, I believe they can achieve it.
The finals will definitely be a terrific match to watch!
