Yeah i like how he plays, but i don't think his technique is better than any in italy. There are many players in italy that has much better technique than Del Piero.

Italy and whatever team ends up coming in second

Italy because they will score more goals, probably 2-0!

Vieri was scratched from the team because he underwent major knee surgery. I wouldnt say that the current starters are better but Gilardino and Toni are big guys with excellent scoring touches. Also, dont forget that they have 3 awesome scorers that can come off the bench in Inzaghi, Del Piero, and Iaquinta. The team is deep enough where they can survive without Vieri

well it's a hard question because there are really good teams this cup like Argentina,Netherland,Germany (the host), italy, england etc... (dont think i forgot brazil cause i didn't although they are 5* winners but not this time) this cup is european and mostly France,Italy or the host Germany. but i'm with France.....

Both teams haven't deserve great highlights in round of 16. If Ukraine plays as I've seen in the last match, I think they have no more than 15% chances to win. When Switzerland midfielders were running with the ball, UKR defender and defensive midfielders were moving slowly and unaggressive, giving control and initiative to opponents. It doesn't seem a tactical play, but a serious lack of skills. Switzerland wasn't an high-tempo team, and Ukraine hasn't got the chance to attack. Italy never shows in this tournament the great plays they can afford. They could play really better, have a lot af experience and skills. But against Ukraine fast break attacks are the whole they need. So my prevision is 4-0 with Luca Toni triple scoring.

It's kinda simple. Europe has alot of countries which gives it a better chance to qualify in the World Cup. And also Europe's countries have very good soccer players. An example is England, England is one of the best soccer teams. England can beat brazil and Argentina and win the World Cup. All because it has good soccer players. So Europe has more countries and good soccer players.

Hmmm. Come on. Is there any French Fans talking bad about Italy fans now? Who are the sore losers? The one who lost are not mainly the sore losers. The one who win and criticise make them more childish. Are u one? Pls grow up and be more mature. Thanks.

Because there are more good teams on this continent. Even so, many European countries can’t be there, although they would be more deserving than some others.

People is jelous of Italy because they think that they against Australia, and that their games werent won by soccer but only arbitral favoritisms.\n\nAlso because they have the easiest contender for the Quater finals, Ucraine who is new at this World Cup.\n\nI personally consider Italy a good team, and I like the style they have to play. But I dont think they would win the Cup, I think that they have hard rivals, that would fight to get that cup, I still see Italy in the top 4.\n\nGood luck anyways!

France was way better.  Spain's coach is just a bum, and they can only scorer by flopping in the box.  I think the Brazil/France match on Saturday may be the most exciting in a long time.

There is a lot of pressure on the big teams to do well. Germany have been OK, England were happy to secure victory, Holland and Argentina are superb, Italy and France were disappointing, the USA aren't a 'good team' and Brazil were tested against Croatia but found natural form against the Socceroos. They have a way about them that means even when they are not playing well, or they have orgainsed opponents, they will always produce something special.\n\nSpain did well.

I think they are overrated. There first big challenge is France. Teams they have so far, have been mediocre.
