I agree with the 1-9-1 formation only for 1 reason:
To drive Blatter insane.After he has put down England's as playing poorly,this would most likely put him over the edge.
amato-
I think if Luca Toni can start tearing up the net like we all expected him to, I would not write off the italians.
Not sure about Pearson, though his criticisms on Sven are good.
There is so much talk about Spain and their history of choking, but I thought France played very well. I admit I am biased as I worship Zizou, but I thought he, Viera, Ribery, and Makalele played very well. The better team won, and enough can't be said about Zizou. He always shows up when it counts.
I am the soccer analyst for the Fox Soccer Report and appear twice a week - every Monday and Friday at 10:00 EST. I have also been a regular contributor to the Fox Soccer Channel website since the summer of 2004. Over the last twenty years I have contributed to various radio and television programs throughout North America as well writing about the game for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Thank you to all who take time to visit this blog and especially to those of you who post your comments and thoughts.
PS - If you have questions please post them on the regular Monday blog. I am unable to answer e mails posted to the inbox on this site.
And one more thing. If you have questions or complaints or compliments about programming please contact Fox Soccer Channel or Fox Sports World Canada directly. I have no control over what the stations televise.
