ok so with a slow start France is now favored in the FIFA world cup. they took out the two most intimidating teams in the cup, Spain and Brazil right now they are beating Portugal and probably going to go to the finals against Italy unless something happens in the next 4 minutes of the game.

some facts.

- Italy has never beaten France in Fifa
- France has Zidane as team captain many people beleive that he is the best soccer playmaker/player ever
-Italy has a history of winning every 12 years. they won 12 years ago, and they won 12 years before that.

so I really dont know whats going to happen. for the French Brazil Match I won a free lunch and a Brazillian chica had to strip for me. haha. soccer rocks

I was watching the Brit vs Portugal match in the council of the dominican republic in the city because they had this big ass plasma so you can watch it while on line and all the guys were going crazy

Go France!! I think that they have the skill to win, and definitely will be fighting hard next match. I know that they won't go down without a fight.

Italy has only conceded one goal, but I think France might be able to pull it off because they have so much talent such as Ribery, Zidane, and Henry.

^Italy only conceded one goal which was an own goal by the way. Buffon is dope for sure. Portugal had many chances in that game but kinda blew it. It was a good one though. I say italy for sure.

i think it may come down to goalkeeping/penalty kicks

who would i rather have buffon or barthez?

definitely buffon, barthez messes up the easiest saves/crosses

i would choose buffon on his worst day over barthez

Yeah, it should be a close game, but I think that Barthez is not good enough to keep the ball out of the net against Italy. the goalkeeping is probably the biggest difference between the teams.
