Why kick Italy out because they lost to the Pumas?\nLook what has happened to the Italian rugby since they joined the six nations! They have gone from strength to strength!\nAs most of the Pumas play in Europe, why can't they be based in Spain and join the "7" Nations!  This team is a good one that gets very little competitive international games!\nI think it would do the 6 nations good to have another country competing  in it!

Doesn't look good for my team (US), so I'd be glad to see the Netherlands (my favorite European team) win.   They didn't look great in their first game, but I'm still picking them to beat Argentina.  HUP HOLLAND!!!

I'd be very surprised if the USA team mounted a threatening challenge to my pick to win the cup in 06. I'm an Aussie and my heart is with my beloved Socceroo's, but I love the Italian side and watching them play. Great technicians of the game. I followed them in the 2002 cup also and was devastated when they were knocked out. I think the score will be the same as their previous game. Italy 3 USA 0. Good luck Italy, this Aussie girl is counting on you, after the Socceroo's of course, to take that cup away from Brazil.

wow - that's cool ;)\n\nalthough there is an error in your logics:\n\n- for the winners of 1994, 1986 and 1990 the logics are correct, as you added the year the winner won and the year the winner won the last time\n- but for the winners of 2002 and the possible winner of 2006 there is an error: you should continue your logics by adding the year the team won and the year the team won the last time, so for the 2002 winner the total is (2002+1994 = 3996; 2006+2002 = 4008, so it cannot be brazil)...\n- also, your logics don't work for argentina (1978+0 = 1978), italy (1982+1938 = 3920) and france (1998+0 = 1998)\n\nbut here's something interesting for you (as you seem to be a fan of brazil and i'm a fan of italy, lol):\n\n- brazil took 24 years to win their 4th world cup (1970-1994) and who won the 1982 world cup? - italy...\n\nmay the best team win ;)

I really think if they beat Germany (I know they will) Argentina can beat any of the remaining teams. I really think Germany is the biggest challenge due to their rivalry in the cup.

Italy only need 1 point from their final game with Czech Republic. Italian sides are notoriously diffiuclt to break down and with the knowledge a point will be enough will defend resolutely.\n\nYes they will go through but if they dont win the group, they could well face Brazil in the next round !!

Well, we'll need to be in the top 2 of 4 in our group, which is looking difficult.  At this point, tying Italy isn't bad, but we'll need to beat Ghana in our next game to actually have a shot.  Assuming Ghana loses all of its games from now on and Italy loses or ties, we might have a shot.  I believe if teams are tied for points they look at goals scored, so having a good scoring game for our last match would help a lot.  All in all, the odds are bleak, but, like most other sports, anyone has a shot.

England, Italy, Argentina all were beaten by the mighty Scotland tho all were friendly matches, Italy and Argentina in Scotland and Scotland beat England at wembely in 1967 after they cheated the West Germans out of the world cup in 1966.

yes..i'm also an italy fan since young..but too bad, Materazzi will miss the next match.but no worries,coz italy's defence still have nesta and cannavaro..and they have the world's most expensive keeper,buffon around..but what i'm worried is that will they win it big or win it dirty??

Italy 3-0. Its pretty obvious Italy is going to win, but by how much? This is just a wild (and probably wrong) guess.

yeah and I wanted Totti to miss the kick to make up for the stupid fault called....but...Neill SHOULD NOT have done that because Australia still is unskilled as far as knowing how easily Italians flop...Italy took advantage of them and used the flop to get their kick...Germany, Brasil and Argentina know Italy does that so they don't give Italy as many chances to get their Oscars (rewards for acting).....they game was only a step up as far as being dreadfully dull from the Ukraine game (quite the contrast from Sunday) but this is a game that should have ALSO been decided on shootouts...Australia did that well!  Hey Italy..the Aussies weren't bad were they? But Brasil beat them by 2 and it didn't take them over 90 minutes to score both...so with italy BARELY beating Australia on a technicality (it would  and should have gone to OT) and Italy TYING the USA....Ukraine may even beat Italy (provided the flop is killed off) and give Germany/Argentina an even QUICKER route to the Cup Finals..
