Please! World Cup is a fantastic event! Why should we always focus on those ugly instead of those beautiful?! Dont tell me you enjoy voting whose the ugliest guys! Forget all your hatred at least at this moment!

Exactly! Good luck Germany! Viel Glueck!;) (hpoefully i remember correctly how to say good luck in German!)

That will be a huge loss for the England team.

yep, Cannavaro is great. IMO he and Pirlo are the two guys with the steadiest performance. But i think you shouldnt forget Zambrotta, he's really amazing, especially in the latest two matches!

A one-two win for Ferrari!! Forza Ferrari!!!

Many Medium in my country think Italy will win by referring to the history. The history says the Germans never won Italy in World Cup. The two teams have played agianst each other 28 times, among which are 8 draws, 13 Italian wins and 7 German wins. The two teams are actually my faves, so i find it quite difficult to say who's gonna win. But i think this time the Germans maybe a lil bit more likely to win, for they're hosting the game and plus, my intuition has told me it's the time the Germans to break the spell of history.

yea, all good things have almost come to an end...:(

i've just came up with an idea. Can we just make some comments on the World Cup-related stuff(words you wanna say to your fave team, player....whatever) by quoting Coldplay's lyirics( you may change a little bit)? And it's okay if you quote other musician's lyrics, but please tell us whose lyrics they are. Starting here: To the Germans: Do back the thing the Italians did to you in return(i'm referring to the Italy's 4-1 victory over Germany early this year in Florence. I'm sorry if you are an Italian fan:) )

It's said McClaren doesnt like Beckham, he prefers Lennon. "The 31-year-old midfielder said: 'I feel the time is right to pass on the armband as we enter a new era under new coach Steve McClaren.' '' "enter a new era under new coach Steve McClaren"? That may ring some bells. But Beckham is the most eligible one to be the Captian by far.

To the Argies: show me a good loser and i'll show you a loser.

Ja,Deuschland.

England, along with Brazil, finally paid for their conservatism.

Toni finally scored! Hooray! And Klose and Lehmann are really great! Italy Vs Germany, i dunno who to support, for both are my faves!:(

C. Ronaldo is a good player, but i dont think he's that important yet. He still has a lot more to learn from players like Figo and Deco. It takes time to mature.

An early final! The collision of Earth and Mars! It's gonna be a tough game for both sides, but a fantastic one for fans around the world! Germany will win, i think, b/c they're playing home and they're on a rise.

Brothers and Sisters "riding on"

Exactly what i'm thinking of....:D

Sleep, sleep and sleep! Still missing the last WC in Korea&Japan when i didnt need to stay up late!:dozey:

Speaking of the Italy Vs Australia game, i've got something to share with you all. When the Italian team got the penality, a TV commentator for our national television network(CCTV) cried out hysterically" Penalty!!!!! Penalty!!!! Long live great Italy!!!! Dont give the Aussies any more chances!!!!" Now this has become the most sensational news all over China! It's simply sooo shocking! As a TV commentator you must stay neutral, b/c two non-Chinese teams were playing! This guy is a longtime commentator on Serie A, and he later admitted he roots for the Italians, and he really wanna see Italy in the final. So any opinions, y'all?

Italy will win. But a tough game.

France aint the team in 1998 any more, plus this time they aint the hosts.

Hey, dont be that serious! Actually i root for Italy, but you gotta admit the Aussies did really wonderfully--- that's a truth. I say the italians are "luckier" surely doesnt mean they did poorly, i think perhaps you misunderstand me. The French are lucky to some extent, but they deserved the victory last night. The Spaniards are still not strong enough physically and pscycologically, which is the most negative side of them!

Ode to the Aussies!

Hiddink has paid back the debt he owed to the Italians four years ago. :rolleyes: The Aussies did really great last night, but the Italians are the luckier ones. That's football.
