SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ivan Zamorano:
"My heart tells me it is has to be Argentina. I have an Argentine wife, I have children who have Argentine blood, so I hope that the Cup stays here on the South American continent now. As Hristo (Stoichkov) said, it's going to be a very difficult game. I think that if you go back to four years ago, Spain were the world champions with seven players from Barcelona, with a very significant style, like (Pep) Guardiola. Germany have eight (players) from Bayern Munich - they show a similar style, it's a style that in some way shows the (modern) tendencies in the world. I think Argentina are going to find it very difficult. But Argentina have the guts and courage to come out for the finals, we have confidence in Messi and his team to be able to raise the trophy."
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Diego Latorre:
"To say what could happen in a game is irresponsible, it's ridiculous, because matches develop sometimes, things happen that not even the players themselves realise, so Germany is a great team and played great football (in their 7-1 win against Brazil), football that impacted the world. It was a scandal what happened with Brazil but it's not so straightforward to say that because a team played well in a previous match they're going to play well in another and win by decree."
