About this time during every world cup I get fed up listening to the predictions of the experts on the telly. Football is a simple game and anybody can play the pundit. That is part of its attraction.
Apparently a billion people will watch the game today. They can all laugh in unison at my prediction after the game if they want :-)
Here it is:
World Cup Final Prediction: Italy 1. France 0.
- Fabio Grosso to score early in the second half.
- Cannavaro to be man of the match.
- Henry to miss a sitter to equalise in the dying seconds.
- Zidane to be substituted after a bad knock to his right knee in a foul by Pirlo.
- Scattered showers in Berlin, Mostly in the first half.
