Just a reminder, but France vs. Spain starts in an hour. Should be a good one. Two of the best players in the world going at it.
I think France wins, but it won't be easy.

***OT: SOCCER POST WARNING. Possible game of the tournament coming up at 2:00pm
- Thread starter Darryl Steight
- Start date
Since three of the last four teams are European, FIFA is scheduling these games so they will be in primetime in Europe. If the US or Mexico was playing in these games, I'm sure they would be at a primetime start in the US.
"International" is kinda right there in their name, Edward
Seem like a missed opportunity to grow it in USA. I'm only assuming that's even a goal of theirs based off the tournament (mostly) being here.
I was going to say north America but I guess it prolly couldn't get a lot more popular in Mexico. And also fifa might know more about it than me!
They'll still get real good ratings in USA. Kids are out of school and lot's of people are on vacation (or at least two half-day vacations) or will be watching tonight on DVR (my option).
Spain has only allowed one goal the whole tournament in nearly seven full games. And as the old adage goes, defense wins championships.
They had a great draw, haven’t had to play against Messi.
Spain is like a football team that runs the ball down your throat. You’re not scoring on them because they’re not going to let you have the ball for very long, and they’re going to own you in the trenches (central midfield and defense.
I’ve said for a while that France vs Spain is the de facto final…. I still believe that. I don’t see England or Argentina being able to fare much better than France did.
