Earlier this week, France's aging (but you wouldn't know it) force, Zinedine Zidane, shined against Portugal--after defeating the much-acclaimed favorite and International Soccer juggernaut Brazil.
Italy was in the trenches against Germany, fighting for inches of upper hand for 119 minutes before burying a two-bladed dagger into the heart of host-country Germany's fans.
Yesterday, Germany beat Portugal in a so-so game for third place, that was a real picker-upper for Germany's moral, but an otherwise humdrum soccer game.
Which brings us to today...
The final game in the battle for the World Cup!!
France vs. Italy, crepes vs. meatballs, oil paintings vs. frescoes-- who will win!?
Use this as your come-one, come-all open thread to discuss.
