Except this year the Italian wont make it beyond the 16 and the Germans will win spectacularly

Women in Bavaria orange asked to leave by FIFA
By DPA, IANSJune 15th, 2010 JOHANNESBURG - A group of 36 Dutch women
were turned away from the Netherlands-Denmark game in Johannesburg's
Soccer City for wearing orange "Dutchy dresses" supplied by a Dutch beer
company, South Africa's The Star newspaper reported Tuesday.

Bavaria brewery distributed the figure-hugging dresses in the Netherlands
as part of a World Cup promotion.

Bavaria is a competitor of Budweiser, an official FIFA sponsor. Orange is
the colour of The Netherlands jersey.

One of the women told The Star that they were Monday sitting in their
seats near the pitch, "singing songs and having a good time" when a
FIFA official came up to them and said they were not allowed wear the
dress and had to leave.

When the women refused to leave FIFA called in stewards to take them
by force, Barbara Kastein said.

The group was then taken to a FIFA office and interrogated by police for
several hours before being released, she said.

"They said we were ambush marketing and it was against the law in South
Africa. They said we would be arrested and would stay in jail for six months.
Girls were crying," she told the paper.

A spokesman for Bavaria expressed dismay at the women's treatment, saying
there was no branding on the dress and that "FIFA don't have a monopoly
over orange."

But FIFA was unapologetic, telling The Star that Bavaria had a long history of
ambush marketing at sports events and had also tried to hitch its brand to
the Dutch team.

Bavaria also locked horns with FIFA at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where
Dutch fans wearing Bavaria-branded orange lederhosen to games were ordered
to strip.

How they turn this away and let the horns in I will have no clue.

Sucks I'll be in meetings for all the matches the next 2 1/2 days. I might be able to split for the England game on Friday though.

Yes, enough horns for the tournament. I say no more horns after the first poule matches. Then we'll have 'tasted enough culture'.

(Sold out.)

you guys are idiots. Italy played very well. Their ball handling, passing , and over all team work was solid. It was the first game and there were a couple of very fixable holes.
I am disappointed with a tie but I will take it. beats a loss.
