i really dont know, i dont want to start speculations who would be easier for italy, because well final is final. I really dont know. portugal hasnt played well, but they have a good coach who could surprise in the final. But i couldnt stand italy loosing again to france, after 2000.

No problem, mates. Pulling for Portugal all the way of course. But if the experts are right and France takes them to the cleaners, I'll have an easier time pulling for Italy all the way in the final and Portugal for third. :agree:

And Ronaldo? He needs anti-psychotics. The guy is a borderline manic-depressive, I swear. But Portugal needs him, which is more than I can say for Juve and Zlatan.

You said it. If there's a Portugal v Italy final, I personally would have to be neutral. I couldn't pick one over the other. Two things though, Portugal has never won it, and maybe it's time for a change in the trend of the same countries winning it over and over again. Never the less, maybe the best team win it. :)

Yeah about Ronaldo crying, I was told he was from the Portuguese version of the Bronx. I'm not buying it.

I remember reading something about his hometown; some tiny island named Madeira (I think it was)

Yep. Madeira. Where they make the alcoholic, grape-based beverage of the same name. (Think island port.)

Funchal, Madeira (the biggest city on the island, not far from the Canaries) is pretty darn far from the Bronx, alright. That's like saying someone grew up in the tough streets of Ibiza. ;)

Fabiana, Nick, Vinni, and other supporters of the Azzurri..

I would like to personally congratulate you on a fantastic acheivement tonight, one that is certainly deserved and very much admired by myself. Your progress in the World Cup has been nothing short of excellent, and even though I still believe my side was better on that aforementioned fateful night, Italy certainly deserves to be in the final. I was hoping for an Italian win today, and will be hoping for one on Sunday afternoon.

As a Juventus supporter, you cannot help but love the performances of Fabio Cannavaro and Alex Del Piero. Cannavaro is simply the best defender in the world, without question.
