France vs Italy

Lippi says hunger will determine winner:

"'We will see who has the most hunger,' Lippi said. 'Among the many things on the table there will be the organisation of the teams, the technical quality and the great players on both sides.'"

I'd actually like to see the best team win. Not the one with the biggest names or the class acts. I want to see the team which loves football and plays the best football win. I'd like to see it won on goals and not these non stop penalites. Penalties awarded or not awarded. Just play. Play your hearts out, mais, au bout du compte...Allez les Bleus!!! It is Zidane's last match and he has given so much to the game. The Italians can give us some fire. We'll see. If it's about football it will be an electric match. Sometimes finals can be very slow because no one wants to make a mistake and they suss the other team out for a while. I hope it's not like that. But this German World Cup Series has been just great and we are very enthusiastic about it all. Italians and French people here are really getting into the spirit of it and are just so excited. It's good because that joy spreads to all of us. Some want to see France win because we lost to Italy and so they will be right behind France tonight. We tend to know more Italians than French so a lot will follow Italy. The good news is everyone has a positiion and a team to scream for at 3.30 in the morning. It's great. Just faaaaaaantastic.
