Official topic. 8)
-
Damn homie relax! You never know, Japan can beat Brazil by 2 ;D
-
It's that, you know, i made the official topic of the group of Italy, and Italy arrived 1st. So i wanted to make the official topic of this match too. Scaramancy (is it spelled correct?).
-
Oh no i was jsut talking about how Japan still has a chance lol.
-
Mmmmm.. right! ;D
-
what was Inzaghi thinking when he put that header off-target earlier? ;D
Anyways, Italy should advance, I just hope they're mentally prepared for this one.
-
aussies aint got no emerton this game tho, thats fucked up, but they have magic guus.
-
Australia need to play all out attack to have any chance of beating italy, because we will have no chance if we play with a loan striker against Italy's defense
-
Italy allowed 0 goals in this tournament.
Just an incredible own goal.
-
Italy gonna easily advance ... they're defensively too solid for Australia
-
but they have magic guus.
-
its looking good for italy...australia first then either switzerland or ukraine
i'll be very disappointed if they dont make the semis
peace
-
^^ yep, without a doubt but better watch out , Swiz ain't an easy team to handle, nothing impressive but very solid
-
^^ yep, without a doubt but better watch out , Swiz ain't an easy team to handle, nothing impressive but very solid
just because France couldn't handle them, doesn't mean they're a good team :D
they just happened to be in the weakest group of the tournament (which they deserved to win)

yep it's a well known fact Tunisia, Arabia and Ukraine are better than Swiz ::).. keep dissin us, I don't care, pm me when your team gonna win a WC, if the Dubcc still exists by this time ;D
-

We know them. We faced them in a friendly just before the WC. Like 10 days before the start of the competition. And we tied.

that was a friendly match :P
-
Yeah, we didn't play the whole game seriously. It was something more than a training, you're right. ;D :P
-
i fuckin hate the Italian soccer team wit a passion. hope the aussies pull out a miracle.
-
if italy struggles in this game, im laughin
-
Hey just to make it clear i've never said we will destroy them. I was just making fun of Mauzip's team, in a friendly way. I respect Australia. Hiddink already eliminated us in 2002, so i gotta respect his team. But i think we will advance.
-
^^ fuck being nice antonio
the aussie fairytale ends here...and bring on the swiss cheese too...theyre getting served as well
peace
-
I don't want to look arrogant, man. We have a pretty easy road to the Semi's. I won't talk shit before we win those 2 next matches.
-
The WC starts in the Semis for Italy. The earlier opponents are pieces of shit to be blunt.
-
i love it, people keep underestimating the aussies...
australia 3-2 italy ...
-
I like how they played and getting into the elimination round is really a great success for them, but let's not get surreal. Them scoring 3 times against Italy would be a sensation.
-
the odds are against them thats true... but italy doesnt exactly have the strongest side right now, no ?
-
^^ maybe not the strongest...but theyre not far behind...theyre performances have gone under the radar with argentina, spain, and brazil scoring so many goals....but italy def look one of the better sides....and they havent peaked yet
peace
-
Aren't 5 goals and the post hitted 4 times in 3 matches enought? With no goals allowed but an incredible own goal? In the 2nd hardest group of the Tournament? With the opponent's GK selected as the Man Of The Match 2 times out of 3? P.S. We're a defensive team, anyway.
-
Australia got this
:scarface:
-
Damn it looks like Iaquinta will start. ::)
-
Damn it looks like Iaquinta will start. ::)
Surely not.. why?
-
Don't ask it to me. ::)
-
Del Piero in for Totti from the start.
-
Do it Guus!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
i love it, people keep underestimating the aussies...
-
The aussies have NO FUCKING CHANCE against Italy
-
cant c the upset happenin but didnt c it 4 years ago when Italy went out to South Korea :/.
line ups:
ITALY: Buffon, Grosso, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Materazzi, Perrotta, Pirlo, Del Piero, Gattuso, Gilardino, Toni
AUSTRALIA: Schwarzer, Neill, Moore, Cahill, Culina, Viduka, Grella, Chipperfield, Wilkshire, Sterjovski, Bresciano
Prediction: Italy 4-1 Australia
-
^^^ That's cause the hosts were given a major advantage through-out the tournament.
-
Did someone just say Australia doesn't have a chance against Italy???Hehe...
-
It's just a matter of time, Gilardino will break the draught.
-
Damn what that was a boring first half. Toni just cant score lol
-
Red card for Matterazzi! Undeserved imo
I predict penalties
-
OOOOW SHIAAAT australia got FUCKED HARD :-X :-\, wasnt a penalty
-
LMAO@Italy strugglin and gettin a lucky penalty in the last second
Germany dont fear Italy.
-
that was too close for comfort.
& please, no more Iaquinta >:(
-
FUUUUUUUUFCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Italy didn't deserve this, that was so fuckin' unfair.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Damn that was pure luck, no way that was a penalty! Italy keeps dissapointing me in the tournament, after the greta first game , its all going downhill. And now theyre playing with either Ukranie or Switserland. Lucky, lucky
-
Harsh on Australia, never a penalty but then again it shouldnt have been red for Materazzi either.
Quality spot kick under pressure tho.
-
I don't think Italy has played one good game and yet they're in the quarter finals. That's a quality by itself, lol.
-
bah,another fucked up game
-
I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wish I was a Ref
-
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll done!! A 1-0 win in 10 vs 11 for the whole 2nd half. Now that's nice.
Italy deserved to win tho', since Australia created NOTHING in 90' and we failed 5 clear chances to score.
Now Switzerland/Ukraine.
-

We sure dont frear Germany. We've already schooled you a couple of months ago, man. And we can do it again.
-
Italy should have been 2-0, 3-0 up at half-time, Toni is really struggling to find the net.
The sending-off was harsh but so was the penalty award.
-
wow....aussies for all their posession created nothing...and they got punished...good defending by italy
everytime i watch materazzi, im scared he's gonna give away a prnalty or get a card....he didnt let me down today either...lol
a shame the way del piero played tho....besides that cross for the toni header he did nothing
peace

Italy deserved to win???Y'all are complaining about Australia not shooting a goal even tho we had the ball throughout almost the whole game, exactly, we had the ball while the italians were standing there doing nothing.The aussies were obviously the better team & deserved to win.
-
I like you but I disagree, possession is nothing without end product. Australia didn't really create any chances at all.
-
So even tho the italians played horrible they deserved to win???That doesn't make any sense.They won cause of pure luck, plus there shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place.Y'all are just saying they deserved to win cause they're Italy.

Italy had the best chances and was the better organized team. Therefore they deserved the win IMO.
It wasn't a penalty though.
-
lol at better organized team, I don't think so buddy.

We sure dont frear Germany. We've already schooled you a couple of months ago, man. And we can do it again.
Learn to school inferior teams like USA and Australia first, then talk shit about having schooled us. :laugh:

I have to say I was always very fond of Italy and hated Germany.
But this world cup turned the whole thing around. Italy are playing defensive, boring. On the other hand Germany has showed great, attractive football. Well done Klinsman.

Since when having the ball in their own midfield in 11 vs 10 means you're the better team? C'mon.

I'm not saying we're playing great football, man. If you read my comments i've said USA and Czech Rep. shitted on us, and we didn't play like we could against Australia. But that's due to the fact that this WC is very hard, very phisical. Germany is def playing better, i aint neglecting that.
-
Lol at some comments, a win is a win, Italy is in the quarters, fucking period. Y'al think Deutschland and Italy have been the best European teams in the WC history by playing good ::).. only the result counts

:'( that was our game, FUCK FUCK FUCK now losing isnt so bad, but with those conditions.... :( and now because of pure bad luck australia coudnt prove themselves.
-
referee was prolly corrupt.. I bet Italy bribed that motherfucker, cause nowhere in hell was that a penalty
-

LOL. So did we pay the ref to send off Materazzi for a foul that was no way a red card one after 4' in the 2nd half too?
It was just a mistake. The 2nd crucial one of the game.
Accept it.
-
if Nesta doesn't pull through for the 1/4's, I'm pretty confident in Andrea Barzagli.

He should be ready. Cannavaro + Nesta + Buffon. Then try to score, muthafuckaz! 8)

Yeah, u know, shits like sand and cement.

Australia were bloody unlucky, They had all the play in the second half. The possession time was around 40% to 60% in favour of Australia. Plus Australia could have been awarded a penality for a hand ball about 10 minutes from time.
-
That was a penalty, anybody playing Football on a regular basis will tell you so.
How the fuck can you dribble in the box, and keep possession, when fools comes sliding in (and miss the ball) ??
Neill missed the ball, and when Grosso outmanoeuvred Neill, Grosso had to try to jump over Neill, Neill raised his arm (possibly a reflex, but doesn't really matter), easily a penalty.
The penalty was much clearer than the red card.
Imo, Australia didn't deserve to win, even with 10 vs. 11, they never risked anything, and never really created anything.
-
^ we didnt have kewell !!! bresciano is slow as fuck !
-
He's not saying your team sucks, but that you didn't deserve to win. Italy simply chosed not to press Australia in their zone, because Lippi knew Australia was extremely quick and good in counter-attacks. So you had 60% of possession but most of it in your half, without Italian player pressing y'all. But when it comes to counting the shots, you did nothing really dangerous. Even with a man more than us for 40'. That's why Australia didn't deserve to win, IMO. Not because they "sucks", but because they didnt create enought to score. The plot of both the teams was to tie and to go to penalty. Italy accepted it because they were playing 10 vs 11, and Australia accepted it cause Italy was the better team. It just happened we scored at 93'.
-
^^ yep, I don't see why y'all cryin, saying it's unfair and all that, Australia didn't take any risks, ok that was a generous penalty but Italy got the best opportunities in the 1 st half... and that's the way Italy wins most of the time, by letting the other team dominated and by scoring on counter attack.. each team plays with their own weapons, that's all
-
P.S. 27 straight games with a positive results and running..

i agree with Antonio 100% ... BUT we did not deserve to get beaten like that !!! a fucking penalty in the last 5 seconds !!! we didnt even get a chance to fight back ! thats when the aussies have proven themselves the best, when pinned up against a wall they fight back ! it was such a low blow, but all in all, Italy won, and they deserved to win... but it would have been nice to see oz get one round further, and piss everyone off a lil more ;D

Man i know it's impossible to accept an elimination reached at 93'. My joy was your desperation, i understand it. It happened. You quoted wcsoldier who is french, and i can tell you i lived the same negative emotions at Euro2000, when we was winning the competition till 89' i think, when Wiltord tied the match. We was already celebrating, and he froze us. Then Trezeguet gave France the cup. Italy didn't deserve it, but it happened. This shit happens to big teams too. It's the fucked up/exciting aspect of football.

soccer can be just like life :P
