I dunno who to pick. This is really tough. Because France have already won the World Cup, I'm tempted to root a little harder for Portugal. Reading various web sites and blogs, I also see how thoroughly hated the Portuguese are by just about everybody. This appeals to my contrarian side.
An Italy - Portugal final would be a spectacle of diving and crying. Operatic indeed.
Zidane has already done enough for his country. Everyone worships him and he will retire much beloved. And he looks like he's had a great time so far. Good enough.
And Figo. Of course. I would like to see him go out a winner. Although give that Portugal hasn't made the semi-finals in 40 years, he already is a winner. But I'd like to see him in the finals.
But yesterday, while driving, I found myself humming La Marseillaise. Subconsciously perhaps I am in the French camp? This is a can't lose/can't win situation.

there's still italy-germany to get thru...
Well you know whose side I am on in that one! I've been waiting for the Italians to disappoint me, and they haven't yet. Again I'm not optimistic that they can beat Germany, but ya never know.

I liked this article.
I'm punting on a Germany-France final - there is no science in this, its just a guess.
I'm expecting France to win tomorrow. But you really never can tell.
Susie, if it is a France-Italy final I know you will be cheering your suddenly French heart out for Les Bleus. :)
You betcha!!!!!! (even if its a Portugal-Italy final)
