France vs. Portugal

Portugal has looked solid all tournament and at +333 is really worth a shot.

I will go with Portugal. The price seems right.

It sure does and another reason I am taking Portugal is because I hate the French.

I hate france, also, but they will annhilate portugal if both teams play the top of their game.
Both teams sleptwalked in their group games, it's just... Portugal didn't even play anyone until the final 16. They did VERY well against Holland and damn, I still am shocked they got to the final 4 (same with France)...
But right now, France has put up 2 of the most impressive games I've seen so far (offense/defense).

Don't trust my pick for this game no matter what, but I think if France plays how they have the last 2 games, I'm pretty certain they can win the cup... Their last 2 games have been VERY impressive with TONS of quality effort.
I don't think Portugal has a chance, but then again, I still believe there are a lot of teams out there better than them... But they keep winning... Ya can't fade a winner.

Ill definitely will be rooting for the winner of this game on sunday.
Portugal would be my pick.

Draw in regular time. After that i don't really care.

**ali_g** · 07-03-06, 07:22 PM

i would say i close match on the pitch! i feel a draw and portugal to pull away in the extra time!

Italy cashed in yesterday. Let's hope the dogs can go a perfect 2/2

France is getting better every game. Played very organized against Brazil. Starting to really gel. Portugal has been scrappy all the way. Not one convincing performance yet.

France has been here before. During the tournament they've begun to reclaim their '98 spirit. This is unknown territory for Portugal. Should come down to experience. Portugal is hard to beat, but with Zidane as general France will be able to pick them apart.

I hate to admit it, but I strongly suspect France will win this one comfortably.

**bigboydan** · 07-05-06, 09:21 AM

i see this game going to a draw.

**Bulldog** · 07-05-06, 10:45 AM

guys, i dont usually do this
but im gonna change my pick.
im gonna go ahead and pick france to advance.
I think a france-italy showdown is a nicer match to watch on sunday

You've got it!

Go Italy.

**adriano** · 07-06-06, 10:10 AM

Of course, GO ITALY! We don't want an african team winning the CUP after all.
