So, the third fase is on, with the 8 best teams (or at least, the ones that weren't screwed by the refrees) ready for the quarter-finals. Those are the following matches:
The Hometeam versus La Gran Nación De Los Cucarachas (Olé!); J-Man's Compatriots against Codfish Land; Cosa Nostra faces off Baba's Favourite; and finally, Asterix & Co. X Banana Republic.

I take it I'm disowned from England now? :(

Anyway, it's anyone's game now, no-one is playing incredibly well so I bet we're in for a few suprises.

So... yeah, Brazil played poorly and lost. That leaves Germany, Italy, Portugal and France on the semifinals. You better root for Portugal (less for the fact the coach is the same that won with Brazil in 2002, and more for the fact they never won).

And Germany got the consolation of being in third, after beating Portugal by 3X1. That leaves only the final game, wich is Italy vs. France. Will Italy be the second country to reach four World Cup victories? Will Zidane finish his career with the glory of bi-championship? Will anyone bother to post here until then, since we clearly have no italian nor french posters? Only time will tell.

Frankly, couldn't care less, so might as well flip a coin. Who's got heads?

Italy has ended the evil oposition of Mr. Headbutt and won the World Cup.
However, the never ending game continues until all adversary forces are defeated.
Fight, Italy! For everlasting peace!

Well, unless someone has something to add, this topic is pretty much finished.

I don't think Zidane will ever recover from that incident. 3 World Cups later, and the commentators will still be going on about him using his head.

I hate to post YTMNDs, but this one is so unbelievably awesome that I could not resist the temptation.

Apparently, Mattarazo (heck if this is the right name) said some nasty stuff about his sister or something before that head-on. Still, I can't think of a worse situation to do this kind of thing. Maybe in your wedding.
