Italy was crowned World Cup winner in 2006, Germany was awarded the host of the tournament and played some great football on the way to the semis. But was the level of the great football? I'm not sure the Italians were very strongly emphasized in the defense but not a brilliant team, when they fought to beat nine-man United States and were lucky to beat Australia with a final penalty.
When we look at some of the 2006 World Cup team, we can see how many failed to deliver.
ITALY --Winners
Outstanding defense and Buffon the best goalkeeper in the world, as he points with his big from Zidane in extra time to save. Nothing more attacking formation than normal, but no real success with Strikeforce Toni emulate it on the Series A vote for strike.
As with most good teams, they managed to grind and some results have been very hard to beat. Many of their top players are now reaching their peak, interesting to see how they perform in the Euro 2006.
FRANCE-Runnersup
The veterans of France surprised many by reaching the final. Inspired by Zidane, the French abolished holders Brazil and Portugal also defeated in the semifinals.
The French were the last for a long time they dominated the game, but the crazy pitch with Zidane transmission cost them dearly as Zidane, Vieira and Henry are all available for the penalty shootout, the French had to settle for runners up.
GERMANY-3rd Place
The Germans went into theWorld Cup as an outsider in spite of the home country due to a run of terrible consequences. The manager was Klinsmann under pressure, but the Germans performed well and was only denied a final point, when the Italians scored two late goals in extra time in the semifinals.
The Germans, if the young player of the tournament and in Klosse they also grabbed the top scorer award.
PORTUGAL-4. Place
Portugal have emerged as serious contenders in the last few tournamentsunder the direction of the great Phil Scolari. Impressive victories over Holland and England were not adjusted when they performed poorly and were eliminated by France in the semi-final.
Players like Figo, Deco and Pauletta to their last World Cup have played, but they still have some young players like Ronaldo in the making.
BRAZIL quarter-finals
The owners played some great football in the early stages, despite Ronaldo fit to look for somewhere in the vicinity. Ronaldinho showed some nice tricksbut was quiet in a lot of games due to tight marking.
A very lacklusture ads against France in Brazilains home and for players such as Carlos, Ronaldo, Emerson, Cafu, Junior and it's probably the end of their World Cup dreams.
ENGLAND quarter-finals
With so many good players no doubt, England is taking place. They were terrible in the group stage against the big guns such as Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago!
Her manager did not bring enoughStrikers and Rooney clearly not fit and Owen out injured there was no real strength in depth to the squad. The long ball tactic was too often and England were once used to beat on penalties in the quarterfinal stage.
ARGENTINA quarter-finals
The South Americans played some great things in the early stages and had many outstanding players. But they are excreted by the host nation on sanctions as early form, which again is not in the later stagesTournament.
A proposed narrow win against Mexico, they were not unbeatable and the Germans more than they voted in a blunt quarterfinals. In young emerging players like Messi there is no doubt that Argentina is again against the next World Cup.
