Italy or Germany. Who do you pick and why?

I'm going with Italy. Just a out of the sky guess and since I root for them every time.

    I would prefer to see Germany win, for no other reason than I believe I've got some German ancestors.

    I picked Germany just because the match is at home for them. Should be a great game, but I'm hoping that whoever wins end up falling to France.

    I'm pulling for whichever team fakes fewer injuries. In the Portugal/France match I'm all about Portugal, especially after that epic dive job Henry pulled against the Spanish (you know, the one that set up the winning goal).
  • WORLD CUP FUN FACT - THE NICKNAME OF THE GERMAN NATIONAL TEAM IS "THE MANNSCHAFT"

    Sounds like the name of a gay leather bar in the Gansevort meat-packing district of NYC!
  • We really stand no chance," German captain Michael Ballack said on the eve of Tuesday's semifinal match between Germany and Italy. "They beat us clearly and dominated us. Everything speaks against Germany, it's a wonderful feeling."

    Isn't that special - the resident captain/wiseass? There's reason enuf for anyone to be rooting against Germany!

    Yes, the Portugal squad that just exuded sportsmanship during the Rooney incident in the England match.

    Henry. Cristiano Ronaldo. Whoever. One has to tolerate some degree of histrionics in football.

    I totally missed the England match, and if truth be told I know nothing about the Portugese team. But I've watched the French team twice now, and have really grown to hate them-- hence my allegiance to the boys from Lisbon.

    Italy has been lucky the entire tourney. Germany 2-0.

    I'm picking Italy, 2-0, mostly because the game is now over and I don't like to make risky predictions.

  • All of the teams flop to draw penalties, but Italy seems to be the worst of them all.
