World Cup welcomed best 4 and there will be only 4 games left.
All the team for best 4 are from Europe. Germany & Italy who are both won championship 3 times in past, France who won championship once, and Portugal who never went to final. World Cup legend that European team win in the World Cup held in Europe while South American team win in South American World Cup came true at this moment of best 4. The only exception was Brazil led by "God" Pele in Sweden 1958.
1st game in semi-final is the match-up of 2 strong country in Europe that both team won 3 time-championships. Current result was that Italy won 3-1 against Germany. But Germany is getting better in this tournament and they are the host country, so Germany takes a little advantage over Italy.
This game is the battle between German great attacking soccer scoring 11 goals so far including top-scorer Klose's 5 goals and Italian hard defense that had only 1 goal by themselves so far. Which team will get 1st goal? I think that 1st goal will decide the game.
World Cupもベスト4が出揃い、残り試合もあとわずか4試合となりました。
残ったのはすべてヨーロッパ勢。優勝3回のドイツと、イタリア、1回のフランス、そして決勝進出したことのないポルトガル。欧州開催の大会では欧州のチームが優勝し、南米開催の大会では南米のチームが優勝するというW杯の伝説がベスト4にして早くも現実のものとなった。(例外は"神様"ペレが率いた1958年スウェーデン大会のブラジルのみ)
