Italy the dark horse? Tell us!

July 01, 2006

Whoa! Is the World Cup throwing up some surprises or what!

Was the Germany-Argentina cliffhanger as good as the final of this tournament?

Did you expect the Argentinians to lose their nerve when it mattered? Did you think coach Jose Pekerman erred by taking Juan Pablo Riquelme and Herman Crespo off too early?

Can captain Michael Ballack's German team win the World Cup at home?

And what about Italy's return to form against Ukraine? Have the Italians played themselves into reckoning with their 3-0 victory? Can they prove to be the dark horse?

Tell us!
