I want Italy to win, but that's because I have too many French friends! ;)
 
I'll refrain from making comments about Portugal lest they appear to be sour 
grapes, but an Italy v France final with Italy winning handsomely would be 
my favoured outcome.

Hi Ruben,

Diving=acting, i.e. going down on purpose to get a freekick or 
pretending to be injured to waste time or to elicit a yellow or red card 
for the opponent. The Portuguese have done more of this than any other 
team in the World Cup.

I too support France from here on.
