Portugal - France

[JaredL]

Like you guys I'm really torn on this one. I strongly dislike Zidane*, am still pissed that France knocked out Spain in Euro2000 much less this WC finals (honestly this doesn't sting as badly), don't like the French style of play this WC, and in general just prefer Portugal.

* Zidane is IMO the best player of the last 10 years AINC. Zidane, however, in matches against Sevilla alone the last few years has done something to warrant getting sent off 3 times (stomping, kicking and elbowing the last of which amazingly got him sent off). He does this [censored] in other matches as well but has somehow developed a clean reputation so he rarely gets even a yellow for his actions and every time the announcers mention that it's rare to see such things from Zidane even though that's not the case. I would be absolutely thrilled to see Zidane go the last three years of his career with absolutely no titles for club or country.
