Saha definitely has world class skills, but so does Ludovic Giuly. I think as always that Trezuguet has some good tricks up his sleeve if he's even put in for Thierry Henry this final. Whatever happens, Zizou will light our way!!!!!!!!!

ALLEZ TOUT LE TRAJET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we won't have official bank holiday but I guess we'll have quite a few unofficial ones.
Celebrations will definetely be grand here in Italy... We're trying to get the WC since 1982, we got very close a few times since then but never grabbed.
I guess maybe celebrations will be slightly less in France, as they "just" won one WC and one european cup, we saw the european trophy vanishing from our hands the last seconds of the match.

I'd have preferred to have Portugal for the semifinal but now I'm even happier 'cause:

1) the match it's gonna be epic
2) Whoever gets the cup (hopefully us) will feel it more deserved, with no mean of being unkind towards Portugal.

FORZA RAGAZZI!!!!!

Hey! Thinking about that match, in this world cup, a team that usually beat another team in world cup won. Italy used to beat Germany->Italy wins, Germany used to beat Argentina->Germany wins, Portugal used to beat England->Portugal wins, France used to beat Brazil->France wins and...

...and, for that final, France used to beat Italy, Italy haven't beat France for a long time in a world cup! So? What do you think about that?

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!! (I'm starting to do the same thing as ancann )

freddy25 aussie or yankee...possbily germans... you are out... and yeah great actor...well your holliwood crap can't even suck the Little Johnny of the great italian classics...

usa scum go back to your idiotic american football...

You can read it like this: statistically we just had a negative serie with France thus it's time to start with the positive sequence.
Another statistic stuff is that we participate to a final every 12 years and we win one every 24, the last we won was in 1982. Next sunday we'll come to know whether this statistic rule it's true or not.

I'm looking forward to enjoy the match.

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

P.S. Supposedly ITALIANO, please, do me a favour: change your nick

Good luck to both, but because i love Zidane, i wan't him to get the Cup with the last game in his career. And he is the only one who can beat this italian defense.

I have just mad the Italy-France on my playstation, and I beat Italy 2-0!!! YEAH!!!

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!!

Madison...

If Italy win monday morning I will be in my office at 8 am o'clock..
... but monday 17th July !!!

I hope 1-0 at 93 minute with something stupid by Barthez...

Well, neither I do like Barthez very much... I still remember the french kissing his forehead before shooting the penalties, and we lost, and these memories still hurt; anyway I'd rather prefer Italy to win wothout leaving any shadow of doubts: 2-0 or, if we wanna leave Zidane a final ovation, 3-1.

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

Hey! Thinking about that 2000's match, it would be funny if your team scores first this sunday, and then at the 91th minute Wiltord scores, and during extra time Trezeguet scores again!

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!!

We don't wanna have all the fun ourselves twice thus I'd rather prefer you to feel the sensation we've already felt 6 years ago next sunday.

Again: 2-0 or 3-1 (hopefully)

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

Small history of France - Italy in a world cup :


12 Juin 1938 1/4 finale

Italie 3-1 France

(G. Colaussi 9 ', S. Piola 51 ', S. Piola 72 ') (O. Heisserer 10 ')


02 Juin 1978 Gr A

Italie 2-1 France
(P. Rossi 29 ', R. Zaccarelli 52 ') (B. Lacombe 1 ') Gr A


17 Juin 1986 1/8e de finale

France 2-0 Italie
(M. Platini 15 ', Y. Stopyra 57 ')


03 Juillet 1998 1/4 de finale

France 0-0 (ap) (tab : 4-3) Italie

Team France NEVER lost a final when they had to play one.

Watch olympic, confederation, euro, world cups boards : impressive ! They always won every final they played.


I would add that since the 2nd of june of 1978, for 28 years Italy ALWAYS lost against France ...

Allez Les Bleus & Forza Italia...

I hope we'll win but i also hope it'll be a great final...

If Trezeguet scores the winning goal for France does that mean hel be kicked out of Juventus like the South Korean player.

Juventus will kick out itself from the calcio so... I think he doesn't need to score to leave the juventus...

Oh damn! I'm starting to be afraid again! I'm stressing! Always the same before a match of France...

Hey gramps! You must win tomorrow!!!

ALLEZ LES VIEUX!!!

Hey french supporters! Don't forget the other final in Wimbledon!

ALLEZ MORESMO!!!

Allez Nadal
