Ya, you're right on this count.
The Italy-Germany game was extremely fascinating with its tactical choices and the watertight italian defence... I'm sure you didn't find any outstanding players for the match, but Italy's central defender Cannavaro was incredible. Their midfielder Pirlo was, too.. but his sort of play (deep-seated playmaker) takes quite a seasoned football fan to understand and appreciate.
For fanciness, watch tomorrow's watch.. Portugal and France both have rather fancy players; Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Deco and Maniche, while France has Zidane, Ribery and Henry. Should be a great match-up.
Here's to France!
