So, it will be an all European final in the 2006 World Cup Soccer. That much is decided. The two great Latin American hopes, Argentina and Brazil were eliminated in the quarter finals by Germany and France respectively.  The young and scrappy Portuguese team did away with England.  Italy took care of Ukraine. Of the four teams reaching the semis, only Germany figured on my initial list of possible finalists. The home team advantage still favors Germany as the eventual winner. But there is another more dependable rule of predicting a champion in the WCS and that is "whoever beats Brazil, wins." Going by that rule, I am predicting that the Jules Rimet Cup goes to France in 2006.
