We heared it from many visitors from many countries now that the experience of visiting us strange Germans was a far mor enjoyable experience than they expected

Tonight - another true classic. Both teams met repeatedly in world cups, so far the Germans never managed to win, and scored three draws and two losses. Possibole that this will change tonight.

I see Italy's defense as stronger as that of the Argentinians, but their offense as weaker. Ther Germans have the advantage of being in top shape, being the host and having played a fanatstic tournament, growing stronger and stronger form match to match (like the French). In how far the banning of Frings will weaken them, and in how far that will be (over-?)compensated by the anger that is there becasue of that, remains to be seen.

Under different conditions I would have given the Italians the edge by 60:40 or 55:45, tonight I see it as a completely open case: 50:50.

60%-40% for Italy vs Germany.
Italy has too strong a team, and if Lippi decides to use Inzaghi, then there won't be a match at all.

FORZA AZZURRI

If Lippi decides to use Inzaghi we will see 12 offsides

I don't care how may offsides we'll see, if Pippo at the end scores 3+
