Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I have to say the last 4 are actually 4 very average teams.

Only Argentina can leave the World Cup saying they played well.

Germany, home soil has helped immensely

Italy, easy route so far and they haven't played that well. Buffon has been immense for them

Portugal, they've dived and cheated from game 1

France, poor in the group, but they have beaten Spain and Brazil

I'd say anyone that can beat Brazil, deserves to be World Champions.

Argentina were certainly the team who I felt should have won it but Pekerman messed up with his subs against Germany.Germany have impressed me though so perhaps them.

I've not liked Italy since their game against USA where I felt they were poor and De Rossi's elbow was sickening, then the cheating against Australia.

France seem to be peaking at the right time so I'm going for Germany vs France in the final with France winning, just so long as Portugal don't con the ref again they should beat them.
