I like Portugal a lot, but I have to admit that some of the diving tonight was comical. Again, Maniche played further back and again Portugal struggle. He really is the catalyst for Portuguese success - let him move forward and things happen. But it's too late now.
Another quality performance by France. I'm so pleased Zidane didn't get boked - he more than anyone deserves this final, and it'll be good to see hm play on Sunday.
Italy vs France, then. The secret of both nations success at this World Cup has been a basis of defensive solidity allied with real attacking prowess, which promises to make for an absorbing final.
