Once again you come across as a rather pompous to use a polite term. Superb to see the Azzurri di Merda pumped out on pens after a shameful display with everything that is negative about Italian football. I look forward to next season's Serie A with no Italians in the Inter starting XI and a foreign manager. Lovely. De Rossi to miss one of the pens. I couldn't have scripted it better myself.

Maximus Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Another defensive master class from the world champions. Remember, defending is part of football too. It's a shame for your team that they can't put 11 men behind the penalty spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 This has to be one of the more boring euros in recent years.

carjam Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ahh feckin poo! Fair play, Spain deserved their win. Best team won. Donadoni is a disgrace for setting them out like that and not changing it. I must admit though, when Motty said that an "Arsenal player can win this for Spain..." a part of me wanted Fabregas' leg to snap in two. That little **** could find a link to England in a Siberian saltmine at 3am without a torch. turd.

LMFAO Sad, graceless and bitter, as usual. I'm sure the Italian players'll live given the World Cup winners medals on their sideboards: a tournament at which they were the most complete side, and worthy Champions of. Nice to see you're so against negative football. I'll remind you of these comments when Mourinho does with an already scarcely exhilarating Inter side what the whole world knows he's going to do.

shaun.lawson Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A victory for football Italy should be banned from all competitions for good. Fed up of them ruining tournaments. Yeah - because they positively destroyed the semi-final against Germany two years ago, didn't they? Sorry, what's that? It was the game of the tournament? Funny, that... I'm trying to imagine how Scotland - no, scratch that - how any side would've coped against the best creative midfield in the tournament without any of their best central defender, best holding midfielder and best creative midfielder. Indeed, even this comparison isn't perfect, given Cannavaro, Gattuso and Pirlo all have a claim to being the best players in the world in their respective positions. No doubt, Donadoni'll get his dick cut off by the Italian press for their lack of attacking ideas, and especially their lack of width - but what do people think they should've gone for instead? All out attack? And that Spain, who I was pleased to see get through, were actually pretty spineless themselves and never looked like breaking depleted Italy down says an awful lot for Italian knowhow, which remains extraordinary, and I swear is almost genetic.

Dave 1974 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Good and valid comments Shaun. In all seriousness though, some people need to take a reality check on this. Italy played to their strengths regarding certain key players missing from the line-up. Why should it come as a great surprise that they defend first and attack second? Hardly the revelation of the century is it? Italy are the best defenders in the world. period. True, Donadoni set them out too defensive, but that was his failing, not the players. Itali played a a narrow game with no real width, and once again you have to look at the coach as i could rattle of five or six quality wingers that could've/should've played. Spain had more attack mindedness about them but they were lame. Best strikers in the world in Torres & Villa? Maybe, but they were nullified by the best defenders in the world. Defending is still part of football. And what if Scotland had been there? Mmm? deploy a 4-4-2 and attack Spain? lol. No, or course not because they would've been horsed. Defend well and don't concede is first and foremost. Anyways, Spain deserved it over the coarse, so well done to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sorry, I just can't hate Italy: Italy are cool. In no other country can you sit at a street cafe and watch the same guy appearing every ten or fifteen minutes, having walked up the promenade and back again, just to pose. The women, pasta and ice cream are bloody amazing too. And yep, Materazzi certainly helped them two years ago, though he was a hilarious shambles against Holland at this tournament.

Makween Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The irony here is that the same people who're slating Italy will defend Scotland's tactics to the hilt. Italy play to their strengths. There's no shame in that, none whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
