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?).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Italy had the best chances and was the better organized team. Therefore they deserved the win IMO.

It wasn't a penalty though.

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.
Title: Re: Round of 16: Italy vs Australia
Post by: Jome on June 26, 2006, 07:32:46 PM
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.

Post by: Antonio_ on June 27, 2006, 02:46:41 AM
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

^^ 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

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.
