well; Thus Zambrotta will be able to go forward on his flank and hit the Yank's hard and dry.
No big team has choked so far (I don't count France as a big team anymore), and I doubt Italy will be the first one.

My prediction: 3-1 (Toni, Toni, Reyna, Del Piero)
Ah, I see where "you" are coming from.

Can you tell us now who you consider to be "Big teams" ? Before they lose.
By the way I am sure France are still a "Big team."

Thanks for your contribution anyway.

imagine if USA wins tonight, the group will be so ugly, 3 points each :D
The Group of Death has already been decided (B). This is turning out to be the Group of Death for sheer suspense.

This honestly worries me as a conservative Azzurri
It worries me as well. Ghana just beat 2-0 (and it could have been more) the same team that beat the USA 3-0 on monday. Obviously the americans wont want to lose 0-3 again. I think it'll be a tough match. Hopefully we'll able to grab three points, but I wouldnt be too sure.

The magic of '98 and 2000 has ended I guess. They choked in 2002, the Euro2004 was 'ok', and the qualifiers for this WC were a disgrace.
Zidane can't win matches on his own anymore. Henry has always underperformed with the French NT. the defence is still ok, except Bathez.
France is 'average to good' IMO. If they win the WC it'll be a surprise.

Who are big teams in this tournament? Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Italy. If one of these 4 win the WC you can't call that unlogical.

Gattuso isn't starting apparently, Del Piero neither, but yeah...
