I like it Prez. I got Italy -125 for a medium amount. I want to unload on Italy, but the only thing keeping me from doing that is how the public loving the Italians for the final. I think the line actually opened up at -113 after the Port/France match, and was quickly brought down to ~-130 in minutes. GL to us.

:scared :scared

I am pulling for Italy, but I am scared of the French. They have taken out some excellent teams to get to the finals... their defense has been really good.

Best of luck - hope you can finish out the world cup with a win...

as do I hippster and the same to you

betting either way is a scary prop in this game, especially against Zidane and his potential storybook ending.

Need to get past that and roll w/ the team that is yet to yield a goal to their opposition. It is gonna be tough for the Frenchies to score against that defense playing a 4-5-1 formation.

Couldn't pull the trigger on Italy...like you said it is all setting up perfectly for Zidane's storybook ending, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it end that way...

The defense should be solid on both ends of the field - I am guessing a 1-0 victory or 0-0 into overtime...and possibly penalty kicks...

Taking UNDER 2 goals -191 for a small play just to keep me entertained during the game...


and GO AZZURRI :SIB

great calll, had Italy myself as I am a bit of a homer as a good chunk of my family comes from ITALIA...nightmares of the Penalty loss in '94 where going through my head at 300 mph, but Barthez is a joke of a goalie and his defense is the only reason he only allowed 2 goals all CUP...Italy DESERVED TO WIN, France scored only on penalties, one that was VERY questionable and SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CALLED in a Finals match when their is so much on the line...the refs reallly screwed ths tourney over, and I am very pleased that Italy was able to overcome a PISS POOR JOB by the refs to win the game after falling back 1-0 on a early gift from the refs against a ferocious French defense...I really though La Forza Italia was going to lay down after the Gift penalty by Zidane but the header showed that the Italians werent calling the game over until the fat lady sang, and she sure did perform an opera when the they knocked in all 5 of their penalties...BRAVO

Yeah vyrus.......lets not look back to the dodgy penalty "freebee" that the Italians had handed to 'em against Australia, to get em out of jail 1-0 on that day.

You're right about the refs fu*king up much of the tourny!!
