Italy

Let's discuss about this game.
-
Go Italy!
-

-

So? I thought you all knew i'm italian and i'm supporting Italy? What's the problem? That's my presentation of the match, make your.
-
no fuck that. no excuse. u expect javi to make another thread with the same title?
-
Word. The best way to do it was to just make an even Topic, then add your post with Italy's stats under it. When Mexico played Argentina, i didn't write about how well Mexico has played Argentina in the past 5 games under their new Coach and then just ignore Argentina.
-

Sorry i don't understand. What's the problem? Shouldn't we talk about Italy in the Italy vs Germany official 3d? LOL. Do you want me to talk about Brianna Banks' titties?

-
Ok. The stats now. ;D 8)
- 0 goals allowed in 5 games (but an own goal)
- 9 goals scored in 5 games, with 8 different players (Gilardino, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Toni, Iaquinta, Totti, Zambrotta, Materazzi)
- 21 players used by Lippi in this tournament. Everybody but the two backup GK's.
- 28 consecutive games without loosing for us.
Be scared.
P.S.

FRANCE 1998, we lost to France
KOREA 2002, we lost to Korea
Hell yeah it will be hard for us. But it will be hard for them too. The game starts 0-0, everything can happen.

Hopefully this will live up to the expectations I have for it, unlike the game this afternoon

It's a semi-final, man. You won't see great football, probably. Cause it's all about winning. Anyway it will be a war, so i'm sure you'll find a reason to continue watching it till the end.
-
I dont believe 3 teams in Scotland's qualifying group for Euro 2008 made it to the quarter finals. lol....Im actually a neutral for this game, just like i am for france vs Brazil and was for Germany vs Argentina. I think Germany will win in a VERY close game. Low scoring affair IMO.

it's sad to know that we are out of the running for qualification before it even begins
-
^^^^^^^^
Damn your up late. lol
France without Zidane, Makelelelele and Thuram = Average imo, wel take points from all three of the teams, just as long as we beat the minnows.
-
Germany is the first serviceable opponent for Italy in these playoffs. Let's see how they do 8)
-
germany 1 - 0 italy.
-
italy havent been playing amazing...but i think theyll make it harder for germany than any other team.
germany's defence looked suspect against argentina...perfect for italy's counter attacking style.
peace
-
Germany have tightened, but I can't help but think back to March, and it was a no contest.
Things will be alot different this time around, the Germans have improved dramatically, but I think Italy will sneak it by a goal, I think there's alot to exploit in Germany's defence.
will Nesta be fit? If not, Barzagli again please.
Italy couldnt of got a kinder to run to the final IMO.
-
Nesta-Cannavaro, it's official.
-
should italy get to the final, do you think they will put de rossi straight back into the team?
-

No.
-
i think italy will win... then france will crush the diving bastards in the finals.
italians = drama queens, they dont deserve the world cup.
-
I kinda want Italy to win now because of all the shit they have going on over there in their country.
For the first time in history Germany plays soccer that I can actually watch, so they got my sympathy for that.
It would be nice if France would win, just so that Zidane could end his career like that.
Fuck Portugal.

Agreed
Agreed
Agreed!
-
I have a strong feeling this gonna end up in the penalties... I don't see Germany scoring against this defense
-
.. not long to go now.
I'm a little worried should Materazzi start, and I think Odonkors pace could cause Grosso problems, in the late stages.
Overall, I think if Italy can avoid penalties, they'll win this.
Prediction: 1-1, Italy win in ET.
FORZA ITALIA!
-
kick off in one hour
3-1 to italy
peace
-
Do any of you guys know that Lehman prepares for Penalty Kicks by having each shooter's PK tendencies/shot preference/etc on a sheet and he looks at it before going to penalties?
-
Buffon too. He's one of the best GK's ever to save penalties. :P
Anyway i'm nervous.. But i predict a 1-0 win for Italy.
-
P.S. A funny thing. They asked Buffon about Frings' ban. He said:
"What? Fuck! He was the only one i knew how to save his penalty! They damaged us" ;D
-

all keepers do that...its just that the others have a good enough memory not to have a piece of paper for reference....besides, who said its going to penalties? ;)
peace
-
Shit, I hope it doesn't go to penalties.
Italy do have some nice takers, (Pirlo :banana_rock:), but Germany were exceptional against Argentina.
I think Italy can contain Germany, but you never know with Klose around.
Italy need a big game from Totti tonight, .. I expect Buffon, Cannavaro and Zambrotta to give their usual 200% as always, but it's so important to get that first goal.

Oh nah, I don't think they are going to penalties but penalties were being discussed so I talked about that lol
-
FLOOD GATES HAVE OPENED!
-
wow, didnt expect that... thought it had penalties written all over it
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-

-
You guys didn't expect a goal? Both teams were attacking like crazy.
-

i had expected the goal for 117 minutes.. thought the last two minutes were just going to be possession play.. credit to italy they never gave up and the goal showed it..
-

i didnt expect italy to score 2 in the final 2 minutes. did you?
-
GUTE REISE!!!!!!!!
-
I expected one team to score in the ET, they were attacking like crazy. After Italy scored, Germany was going to really risk it and with any counter attack there was going to be a chance to score again.
-
Pirlo = genius, what a reverse pass.
I think italy gave that little more push in ET, and deserved to win.
I give props to Germany, great game, that deserved to be the final, brilliant.
Germany progressed a great deal in this tournament and deserve credit.
FORZA ITALIA, ONE MORE GAME.
:banana_rock:
-
good fast paced game... italy deserved the win... i fucking knew it, i knew italy would score a goal, but 2 :o :o
-
best game, both teams playd open..lotta chances , amazing refferee, amazing game..
hands down Italy was better in crucial moments, had more chances specialy in last 2x15 min,
Podolski dissaponted as well as klose, cannavaro put them in the back pocket.
italy runs over germany like Ferrari over Mercedes LMAO!!
-

Word about Pirlo. If you think about it, a lot of players would just try to shoot from there but he knew that it wouldn't be a good decision to do that since there were a shitload of people inside so he moved around and made a brilliant pass.
1st Half- Italy
2nd Half- Germany
ET- Italy
-
Special reserved praise for Matrix and Grosso! AGAIN they performed like rocks.
Fabio Cannavaro- best central defender in the tournament
Gianluigi Buffon- best 'keeper in the tournament
I haven't felt so good after a football game in a long time, the circumstances were unbelievable.
Lippi had to make changes, and he took gambles, and they paid off.
Please, next game- drop Toni.
now, please- bring on France, there would be no more fitting way than Italy winning this tournament.
-
I'm just the happiest guy in the forum at the moment. I can't describe it.
We're going to BERLIN!!!!!!!!
Props to Germany tho, they showed a lot of fair play. And props to the ref, he was been perfect.
Damn.
-
Archundia 8)
-
GREAT game!! easily the best ending in this world cup. props to germany tho, they were seconds away from going to penaltys. i just knew italy would win, my dad was cooking spaghetti ;D
-
Again, props to Germany, Lehmann was unbelievable all tournament.
That's 10 different Italian players who have scored now.
-
SO HAPPY TO SEE THE GERMZ LOSIN'!CAN T DESCRIBE IT!!!!
-
Shit after we hitted two legs in the OT i was dying. Could you immagine it? I was dying.
-
Great game, one of the best on this WC.
Totti is just great, same with Pirlo, so happy that Del Piero scored.
Cannavro and Buffon are just :o
Have to give props to ze Germans too.
-
good fast paced game... italy deserved the win... i fucking knew it, i knew italy would score a goal, but 2 :o :o
the 1-0 was a KO
-
Italians deserved it. Great finish from Grosso and good to see ADP with another WC goal.
Good entertainment, would like to see France meet them in the final.
-
Cannavaro now = player of the tournament
-
Cannavaro now = player of the tournament
gotta agree
even with Nesta being out all tournament the whole Italian backline have been incredible. Zambrotta deserves mention too- both would have to be in my WC XI.
-
Who was the last defender to win the Golden Boot?
-
^^ isnt golden boot for highest goal scorer....i think youre reffering to the golden ball
peace
-
Yeah, my bad. Well does anyone know? lol
-
Yeah, my bad. Well does anyone know? lol
Sammer. Back in the mid 90's.
P.S. He robbed it to Del Piero.
-
FIFA started handing out Golden Ball Winners back in 1982 and never has a defender won it. Oliver Kahn won it though in 2002.
-
Oh sorry, i thought you was talking about the Ballon d'Or.
