I never do. When has there been a quality final since 1970? '74 was average, '78 was 6 out of 10, '82 was one of the worst games of the tournament if you ignore the fix of Austria v Germany, '86 was OK. '90 and '94 were abysmal, '98 was average, with Brazil choosing that moment to play by far their worst game of the entire tournament, 2002 was "meh". 2006 was reasonable - but even there the most memorable moment was a head-butt by Zidane - and 2010 resembled a UFC bout rather than a football match. It might be a bit tasty if it turns out to be Brazil/Argentina, but if you're not very naive you know who's going to win anyway.
