World Cup predictions - anyone?

So our final is Italy vs France. I think that gives us Marq and Candy ganging up against Chris.

[Candy Bouwer]

Admin I know you nominated france to Chris but he still has not committed himself...mind you I am very supprised at the final to. All I had in mind was that Italy looks like a boot on the map and it popped into my head they could probably kick their way through. Being blond pays off sometimes.

[Marq]

I've never drunk so many Peroni's in my life to ensure this happens.

Final at Spiga DaOra in Florida Rd Morningside. I also have never seen so many Italians packed together in one small restaurant. The noise they make is about the same that I've allways known them to make though.

[Marq]

Ballissimo - I like it when a plan comes together.

Well done Candy, Marq and Italy. Bravissimo.

And as for the Zidane incident

Guys this was a good guess and well done MarQ. I would like to suggest we should have a little competion more often..it was definitely fun

[Dave A]

From what I can gather on the Zidane incident, I've got a lot of sympathy for the guy. At the very least the Italian player deserves some sort of censure.

On a lighter note - I really liked one suggested reason the morning after the incident: Zidane's explanation "Chuck Norris told me to do it".

Given it was such a fearsome blow, I'm not surprised Chuck Norris has been keeping a low profile of late.

Yeah i'm no soccer fan either but i must admit it was a little disappointing since as Bafana actually played fairly well last night as well and the penalty was a luck.

From what i understand now, quite difficult to go through to next round, they have to win 2 - 0.

Quite sad
