i think germany will win it.
i wouldnt be suprised if torres didnt start the finals if villa can play (with either guzia (sp) or cesc starting). he looked like shit in that game. i think its in the back of his head that his coach likes villa better and if he messes up hes getting subbed. instead of playing football your thinking about not fucking up so you dont get subbed and thats exactly when you fuck up.
Villa is officially out of the final. i think Aragones will go back to his usualy system of playing one man upfront. they do have a good replacement in Guiza though, if Aragones feels he shouldnt change the system.
I totally agree^Quote:

indeed gattuso and pirlo were missed but whats gonna happen when italy doesnt have those 2 players...they are in their 30s, and the next world cup should be their last
and cannavaro is about 34 so hes pretty much done in terms of the international squad
i dont think spain will change their style of play
they have a solid midfield and when u add fabregas..forget it
guiza and torres up front
then torres will be dropped for fabregas
ok but if you know anything about football (and im not saying that you dont) than you'll know that thats italy's style,to let the other team do the playing and then we strike with counters.Quote:

Well for Italy good news Lippi is back.
As for Spain we will see if its their time.
all good...but that counter attack style was risky considering toni didnt do much this tourneyQuote:

I'm for Spain since the start, and I think they have the quality to beat Germany, but I'm afraid they won't make it. Germany is just too tough. If they put Fabregas instead of Villa, I think they have a great chance of winning. Fabregas just puts the 5th element in their game.
Villa can't play, he's injured
Oh right, I forgot he said he won't play. I knew he was injured vs Russia, but I forgot he said he 'Almost certainly' won't play.Quote:

regardless its gonna be a crazy good game
im expecting to see a different german team out there
as well as a different spain team
i hope both teams play to thier full potential
who knows it might go to overtime...hopefully not kicks tho
ballsack might not play. calf injury. worst luck he missed the 02 world cup final too.
shit Ballack might be out now. i hope he makes it. guys got no luck at all.
