Host teams seem to have an edge with most doing better then they're expected to do. Of course it wasn't a big factor in the USA because most of the fans were from some place else.

Germany has also played stronger then the Italians but it appears the referees have made some very favorable judgement calls in favor of the Italians. The Germans can beat Italy on German soil but I don't know if they can beat the referees.

I'll be cheering for Germany unless Italy ends up winning on Tuesday in which case I'll be sheering for France because they've simply played out standing football.
