Okay, so I have bet my entire life savings on Italy.

As someone from the country of the forthcoming World Champion and even normally a very caring person: I could give you a shelter and a warm soup from tomorrow onwards.

Ha! The Italiens are going to have a real hard time today, especially
in the wake of what happened to Frings. I hope they lose big time!!

Soooo... I'm rooting for Italy, but only because their blue uniforms and superior cuisine. And... because I think Germany is the favorite.
Don't throw pretzels at me.

Germany have NEVER lost an International in Dortmund (Played 15, Won 14, Drawn 1).
Italy have NEVER lost at the World Cup Finals to Germany.
Something's gotta give....

Pretzles? Try the beer stein el_pohl
Yes, Imur, the Italians! You'll see a battle from them, nothing more -
no strategy, no fairness, no fun for the game.

Italy was better, the German had some chances, though. The Mexican ref is slightly pro-Italy.
Both teams quite nervous - Italy surpringly (very) offensive

Germans looked frightened . The best they can do is to calm.

German fitness will now show out. They'll grind the Italians down, but it may involve extra time.
Watch the Italians.....I reckon the serious cynical tactics may start when they go behind.
Klose will score in or around the 65th minute.

Yeah, that's obvious that the Mexican referee is pro-Italy.
Germany did indeed not play too good..... I hope the second half is
better.

These Italian cry babies fall down with every wind blow and the referee
is right behind them. Well, that's one strategy to make up for playing
a lousy game.

Okay, the Germans don't play as well as expected,
but what the Italians display is just plain pathetic. These are grown men
for crying out loud.

Second half was much better for the Germans ... the Italians became a bit weaker.
