been on a unexpected vacation the last week ,wasnt able to post,anyway gl these are my semifinal plays

germany.-150 to advance...besides argentina this team has impressed me the most,coming into the tourny i didnt like them,but they are playing great right now and im rooting for them..italy has had an easy road to the semis and i think their bubble will burst on tuesday.

France/portugal 90 min draw +200....rooting for les blues here ,zidane is great and out of my 3 prop plays to win it all i have france left at +$1375..their d looks great and they have been in control of the midfield,portugal is solid and they are definatley capable of winning this game ,but i forsee a tight hard fought typycal 0-0 1-1 france type of game (the way theyve been playing before the last 2 games).hopefully then france can win it in ot or pks,but i dont know..zidane would be tired after 100 mins .france to win is the play theyare high on confidence right now ,but i just have a feeling they will be consertive here and portugal can score a goal on them so my gut says draw,and probanly an ot winner from a zidane freekick or corner...gl.

Moe, I think you're right about the second semi. I expect a tight game w/ it likely goin into, at least, extra time.

France is riding high right now, but Portugal is capable of pulling the upset. Very tough match to call...I'm biding my time on this one.

a few props

a few props

ballack to score for germany +365.he is way overdue.and belive he will take a pk if their is one.

gernay/italy over 39 fouls -120, i see both teams hacking away here with germany being aggresive on off and italy aggresive on def.

france/portugal 1-1 after 90.+400 will give this a shot since thats what i think the score will be.

Good luck Moe!!!...I like Italy and Portugal to advance and i think at least one, if not both games will end up tied after 90 minutes...Ricardo in goal for Portugal will be the difference in the game... and I just think Italy hasn't played a perfect game yet and they will vs. Germany, Totti and Luca Toni rounding into form...

My thinking Moe, was that Klose would be taking any German penalty shots just too ensure he gets the Golden Boot and get him closer to Ronaldo's WC record.

I think Germany will probably win just because the refs will be geared that way. But....I heard on the radio that the ref in the Argentina match was scolded for being biased toward Germany and I wonder if the next dude over-compensates. That would be bad news when you consider they will be trying to out-dive the world diving leaders of Italy.

damn Moe really liked Italy, hate seeing you on the other side but you are a solid capper and I guess we all have to go against eachother at one point

dont let anyone change your gut feeling.good 1..maybe u layoff but dont play the opposite..the germans had their chances to win but italy played great and deserved it,i just hope france beats portugal so i can let my future on france ride,b/c i do think they matchup better against italy than germany.......btw,best officiated game in the cup.LET THEM PLAY,and he did.i didnt expect it but it was refreshing...and germany got what they deserved ,they stopped pressing so they can go to pks and got burned,i love to see that happen to teams who do that,i just thought it whould be italy laying off and get burned like it usually happens to them but you got to give em credit....go france!

I am hoping that Portugal pulls the upset as well.

I like the way their back line is playing along w/ Ricardo. Plus, they get Deco back.

Now, as for Germany, I can't disagree w/ what Moe posted. And this was a well-officiated match.
