A forgone conclusion for third place at 2006 World Cup?

Well, seems my outlandish predictions were only half outlandish. ;-) Loved those two late Italian goals! Well deserved, and quite a gamble. I mean, seriously, four strikers on the field!

So now we're down to the last two games of the 2006 World Cup.

And I wonder, is the third place game really a foregone conclusion? Most peeps I talked to seemed to think that Germany was sure to win their match-up with Portugal. But they do seem to have run out of steam in the last couple of games. In the run-up to the quarters, they were quite impressive, with their string of early goals to give them the psychological edge. Then they kinda faltered and met with some good fortune in the Argentina game. And in the Italy game they looked like they were fine with taking it to penalties again.

Sidebar: They're letting Kahn in for their last game! Hehe.

This is the third place game, and they're on home ground. They'll be playing for pride in front of their home fans. I'm sure the crowd will be pushing for them to win against Portugal.

Do Portugal have some magic up their sleeves they can pull out for their last game? Look around the field... Doubt it...
