For the final, which team are you rooting for?
It’s a hard one for me… I really don't have a strong position over either teams. But when you watch the game, you always have to pick a side, so I will root for France just because of Zidane.
How misguided. France should definitely not win this. Where was Zidane? If anything, the match between France and Portugal was sloppy. Both sides were sloppy. If it wasn't for one questionable penalty kick France wouldn't be going on forward. Italy has so much more and Italy deserves this cup far more then France.
I have nothing to fear as I do think Italy will win against France. Italy has so much more going for it. One or two great players will not save an average team as far as France is concerned. The Italian team is full of great players.
1998 Repeat NOT!!!!! Rather say 1982 Repeat. Italy just has the offense France doesn't have. Italy also has a better defense then France. Italy will put everything they have in the final game and they outmatch France. Zidane this, Zidane that... Zidane is out of his prime.
And you know what? If I was French I'd be concerned about the otherwise dismal performance that France had against Portugal... Portugal had near complete control of the ball, but managed to miss quite a few key shots. Still, this exposes deficiencies in France. France's defense is also abnormally weak. A bit concerning for a team that has made it to the finals!
France only got lucky through the penalty kick.
