The Maths of it All...

Have noticed that opinion is split over who to support tonight, so have devised a simple points system to work this one out. Sitting comfortably...

France
Fabien Barthez is a knob, and shouldn't be in the team as Cupet is better -4 points

Zinedine Zidane is truly God-like, and winning the World Cup twice would confirm his place alongside Pele and Maradona as one of the greatest players ever. +17 points

Abidal and Malouda are average, its always a shame for these types of player to be in a World Cup winning team (circa Guivarc'h) -7 points

Thierry Henry is one of the greats of the modern game, and did not play in the 1998 final, so desrves his bit of history +14 points

Thierry Henry is an arrogant git, a bad loser and has thrown himself around like a big girl this tournament -14 points

Domenech dropped Trezuguet in favour of allowing Ribery to be an extra attacker from midfield, just about making up for not taking Guily +4 points

Barthez, Thuram, Vieira, Zidane and Henry have already acheived enough, share the love boys... -10 points

Cluade Makalele played little part in World Cup 98 or Euro 2000, and is one of the finest if not the best defensive midfielders in the World, deserves to win something +12 points

total..... 12 Points

Italy
Their domestic game is a disgrace, and the fans of Juve, Lazio, AC Fiorentina might be about to see thier teams relegated because of the corruption of the arseholes running their clubs. Definitely need something to cheer about +15 points

Mauro Camoranesi really does have beautiful hair +4 points

They are an annoying team who winge and cheat. Beat Ghana 2-0 whn it should have been a draw. -11 points

Buffon, Cannavarro, Zambrotta, Pirlo and Gattuso are truly world class players who deserve to have won major international honours in their career. Del Piero was a world class player a few years back too, so deserves something as well. +12 points

De Rossi's elbow -4 points

When the Italians score a goal thay all try to celebrate like Tardelli in '82, which is really cool. Much better than Thierry Henry's pompous eyebrow twitch. +7 points

Francesco Totti is overrated. -8 points

total... 15 points

So there you have it. Support Italy. I'm off to eat some pizza whilst being financially suspect.....
