thaha panyen. france were shaky in the start of the world cup because they were made to. they were never bad. remember all the refreeing decision and clear disallwoed goals against france . I can recall one against south korea. what happened when france last played brazil before this world cup. they beat brazil then as well. so the history was repeated. so i think same thing can happen here. With all their scoring prodigy i find it difficlut how germany will score against italy. I agree football is never played on papers. every match is a new match. but as an ardent italian fan i will say italy will win 1-0 althogh germans will dominate possesions and make lot more attack on post.
