Mario Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yeh.... well done Italy. How do you think tonights game will go folks ? France to win ? I think it's too tough to call. If France keep on with their resurgence to form and Zidane sparkles again, then yes the French. I do however think that the French will struggle to cope with Ronaldo if he plays like he can. It's almost too close to call but I'm gonna go with Portugal because as much as I'd like Zidane to bow our in the WC Final, I want to see a younger, more exciting Portugal team.

Fanman Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 If France sit back like that again in the final I think the Italians will have them ! A negative and dangerous way to play. Come on Italy !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoogler Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 You heard it here first. Italy v France final with France winning after extra time courtesy of Henry. Mmmmm. That prediction of an Italy France final has come good. Pity I din't have the sense to put a bet on it. I still stick with France to win, even though Italy are a much more deserving team.

Jay_Corolla Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 France won't have the legs. Italy are a very different style of team from Brazil & Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorit Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 During a final group match between Barbados and Grenada for the Shell Caribbean Cup in February 1994. The Barbados team had to win the match by at least two goals in order to face Trinidad and Tobago in the finals; anything less and Grenada would advance to the next round instead. The rules in effect at the time specified that if the score were tied at the end of regulation play, the match would continue into sudden-death overtime and the first team to score during the overtime period would be considered a two-goal winner. Barbados was leading 2-0 well into the second half of play, when Grenada finally managed to score a goal in the 83rd minute to make the score 2-1. Barbados realized with three minutes to play that they were unlikely to score again in the time remaining and deliberately kicked the ball into their own goal to tie the match at 2-2 and force an overtime period. Grenada then attempted to score on their own goal to prevent the match from going into overtime, but Barbados had already started defending Grenada's goal to prevent them from succeeding. The two teams then spent the remaining few minutes with Barbados defending both ends of the field as Grenada tried to put the ball into either goal, but time expired with the score still tied. Four minutes into overtime play, Barbados scored and advanced to the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAStewart Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 No - look at that! It was insane. Hard AND unexpected - Mattarazzi wasn't prepared for the blow, and when you've been playing 120 minutes of football and someone heatbutts you right in your lungs...you're gonna be preettty duffed.
