Hey gambling degenerate, you really have a hard-on for Italians huh? You love stalking every thread about this game in particular and acting as idiotic as ever I see, LOL!SneakyLB said:
This proves my point exactly. When Brazil won the cup in '94 nobody said they got lucky. More like,they deserved the cup and they were expected to win,and all that other bs. On the other hand,heavan forbid that Italy wins a game on a penalty kick. No f'n way! They got ''lucky'',right? Maybe Brazil should lose a game on a penalty kick,now that would be sweet justice. Hopefully,France can repeat what they did to Brazil in the '98 final and then we don't have to hear about them for the rest of the tournament.SMACK APPEAL said:
i agree, Italy vs Germany Final, if you look at it, they are the only 2 teams remaining playing with emotion. France perhaps lost their steam vs Spain, they played due to the racist comments by Aragones but now they face a Brazil squad who are going to play for revenge. Germans are on adrenaline due to home crowd, while the Azzuri, i'm still waiting on them to destroy someone and really prove their worth, but perhaps this has been their gameplan, just win and when the moment is right just go for it. The scandal in Serie A and the attempted suicide of Pessotto may just be enough of a rally call for the Azzuri.SMACK APPEAL said:Well I for one will admit that Italy up to now has been playing lousy soccer..Italy will play better as the opposition gets better. The important thing to note is , that as bad as they have been playing..they are still in the quarters..and will most likely get to the Semis...
The Brazil Problem...Italy has a poor habit of getting Zapped by Brazil, however, only 1 time did a south american team win the cup in Europe..so statistically, the odds of Brazil winning the cup are against them. Also 1/3 of world cups have been won on home soil...and Germany has been playing Beautifully...all in an amazing U-Boat style.
How I see it..it will be Italy or Germany for 2006.
Interesting Fun facts: There are over 25 millions people in Brazil of Italian origin, almost the entire population of Canada.

those few months in Juve must of really helped Thierry Henry than lolsorely said:You North Americans just don't get the sport. It's a multi-discipline game with "diving" being an integral component. Those teams that can't master the dive will never make it. Italy is a master
To be fair any team would be crying foul if the other team was awarded a penalty kick with 12 seconds to go.Edifice said:Would Italy be crying foul if Australia was awarded a penalty kick with 12 seconds to go?
Lets be fair now. You comment is not directed to either the Italian team or the country.maveriiick said:
Ok, the red card was a joke, no denying that but my point is why do people laugh at Australia not winning with 11 men. Now you are praising Italy for playing good???? Ok if they were playing good why did it take them 92mins and 15seconds to get a bloody goal? Yes Toni had "Chances" but he convert them? Nope. You could have a milllion shots but if you don't get one shot in whats the point? All they really need is one goal right? Schwarzer made great saves on Toni and Gilardino, but that is not the Italy team we all know, they played like crap. If you seriously think they played good, than lets how they would last against a top calibre team like that. Someone mentioned here how Italy likes to play down to the level of their competition and step up to the big boys. Well there you go, that's how they played, they played down to Australia's level when they should of won convincingly. So do you seriously think they played good? I am enjoying this WC, apart from the poor referreing and the ridiculous acting.gixxer750 said:
