Hello everyone.

We have reached the finals and 3rd place game. This is the official thread. Same rules as before.

1. Only discuss what the topic entails.
Discuss ONLY the matches, news, and happenings that pertains to teams involved only. Anyone who fails to post appropriately will have his post removed/possibly warned.

2. No discriminating, inappropriate, or degrading posts towards other soompi members, any teams, or any players.
You are free to criticize a team's performance, but if it's obvious that you are making any inappropriate comments towards a country, a team or a player, then you will be warned. If you degrade someone else for supporting a particular team or post inappropriate comments against them, then you will also be warned.

3. These topics will close at the conclusion of the World Cup.
Don't PM us asking why we closed the topics - once this stage is completed, we will close this topic a few days after the final game of this stage.

4. Do not post any other world cup related topics in this section.
No, even if the game was so close and it was so exciting that it deserved a special topic, just for the sake of spam we will limit all game talk in these threads. If you make any other topics, we will close them.

5. Have fun!

------------------
This official thread is the place for you to discuss these 4 teams: France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal.

okay.. I heard the referee for the final match will be the Argentinian H. Elizondo...who previously reffed the recent and infamous match between portugal and netherlands.

oh and the korea vs. switz match. ~_~


edti: 90% of the teams I've been rooting for since the 16 round have lost.. T__T so.. I think I'm going to keep my mouth shut rather than directly stating who I''m rooting for 3rd place and the championship. T_T; sigh....

Not that one. That Russian referee has been sent home by FIFA.

This Argentinian is the one who gave Rooney a red card in the England Vs Portugal match.
