OK, I admit that I wanted to bet on the Netherlands. Claudio was faster.
But, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Italy will beat them in the half finals. It’s because of the spirit. The dutch play greater passes. But what if somebody steps on their feet, pinches their behind or walks around in his underpants? I think they’ll get impressed and lose.
In the final, the team around Ballack do what they do best: taking second place.
Yours,

Claudio said earlier:
OK… who will win? let’s make it who won’t win?
Portugal, no, because there is Ronaldo and he doesn’t know how to kick penalties.
Germany, no, because they are not playing well.
Croatia, no, because they use a pic-nic tablecloth as shirt, they don’t deserve it.
Turkey, maybe.
Netherlands, maybe.
Russia, no, because I won’t be able to pronounce the name of their star player (whoever he will be).
Spain, no, because they never do.
Italy, no, because I don’t want to.
Then, since there are only two teams left, I’ll give my vote to Netherlans, because I like the idea of a country with 16,5 million people wins something. And “I shall stand fast” is better for football than “Peace at Home, Peace in the World”.
Go the Oranges! We’re the best for breakfast and we have plenty of Vitamin C!!! We’ll never get a cold!

italy: no, they won’t even make it to the semi-final
netherlands: no, because i don’t like them, i don’t know why
so spain, because villa – torres is the best striker due, and the defense of all teams seems to be shaky, and because it is the season of red fruits

hi sarolta, i’m happy to read that u cheer italy…
claudio, thanks, but i think that if italy we’ll ever pass the quarters, it is difficult for them to win against holland…
in other words, i’m saying what sarolta said, but i can…
