Will they kick ass or self-implode? will toni get golden boot or will som1 else and who if they do?

de rossi and pirlo shud dominate the midfield and totti will set up delpiero and toni every time!

If you have 11 strikers, you can even ask them to defend. But if you have 11 defenders, you will never attack the other team.

A fascinating insight.

Cheers, r u bein sarcastic?

mmm... well considering end of season fatigue as a contributing factor I calculate the figure at nearer 32.43% with a standard deviation of 0.01%, any thoughts...?

Are you an old poster with a new name ?

Italy have a great chance.

South American teams do not win World Cups that are hosted in Europe. There's only ever been one exception, Brazil in 1958.

So history suggests we can exclude Brazil and Argentina. And who else has a squad as strong as Italy?

Only England, I think.

The Mezz is tipping Germany to lift the Coupe de Monde this summer.

Their recent World Cup qualifying campaigns haven't been great, and they may not have qualified if they had been forced to qualify for this year's tournament, but they usually do well in the actual finals.

Clichéd as it is, they're a very efficient unit when it comes down to crunch time. How they got to the final in 2002 I don't know, but they got there.

If Ballack, Lehmann and Klose keep up their form, and Schweinsteiger lives up to his very obvious potential, mixed with home advantage, it could very easily be Deutschland uber alles come July...

I like T and T

Polite notice: Stop starting shite new threads.

If, after over a week, no-one has replied, for the love of God, don't respond yourself.

I don't mind the shite threads, it's when they're started with the word 'wot' that my blood begins to boil.

The inventor of the text message has got a hell of a lot to answer for.

I thought that all these wonderful new threads had pushed the 'Choir in the Disco' thread on to page two, but after having a look, it seems the thread went the same way as GTTMUH and has been deleted.

You might want to start a new one, Michael...
