As the minutes ticked off, James became more anxious... I have not done my Chemistry SPA Skill C assignment yet and it was due last friday!!! Oops, side-tracked.. Yup it's the World Cup Finals coming up and Italy versus France... Who will win?!

Let me make a guess..(or a bet?) Italy will be the champion this time round.. Looking at both teams' performances, France seemed to be tired out against Portugal in the semi-finals (scoring one goal in the 32nd minute when Zidane’s shot was just slightly out of reach and went past the keepers right to make it 1-0.) whereas Italy had turned out strong against the powerful Germany and is the team favoured more most brokers around.. However, both teams have their advantages and disadvantages.

France had depended a lot on brilliant captain Zinedine Zidane to push the team forward, and also had one of the best strikers in the world, Thierry Henry. However, their goalkeeper was slightly disadvantaged in height compared to others (with a height of only 1.83m), and not to forget their lousy drew-matches with Switzerland and South Korea, which were rapidly wiped out.

On the other hand, Italy, being famous for its steel-strong defences, would prove to be a challenging target. One big determinant of the results would most probably the battle of Zidane and Henry versus the Italian defence.

Hmm i'll make a prediction of score 2-0. Let's see if it's accurate and start counting down to the finals now.
