adamqd Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thats the worst I've seen us play in a LOooong time, our strikers and mid-field spent the second half and 30 minutes of extra-time losing possession to Italy... If we had won the Penalty shoot out it would of been a travesty, Italy were rubbish too, but they deserved to move on in the competition. (To be honest, I'd rather lose to Italy than Germany though lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To be honest, I'd rather lose to Italy than Germany though lol) Lol the "West Ham reject" Diamanti was better than any player in the England squad, they were punching way above their weight. Italy were not rubbish, they controlled the game from start to finish pretty much, hit the woodwork twice and constantly hammered the defence and goalkeeper. It's by a miracle it got on to penalties but justice was served in the end. Young and Cole pathetic as usual overrated players anyways. Rooney world class? Forgettable performance all round to say the least. He can only score on penalties against teams like Wolverhampton or Wigan, useless. Pirlo was world class all game, plus has b*lls of steel to take a penalty like that in a shootout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Damn, I was really rooting for a German win. I loathed both Spain and Portugal, and all the Italy fans in my city are so obnoxious that if they win the competition I won't get any sleep for days. When Italy won the World Cup six years ago I thought the city was going to collapse in on itself. Still. Better Italy than Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltiades Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Missed both the semi-final games, so I was surprised when this morning I heard it was Italy in the final, not Germany. Wow, that came out of nowhere. Then again, it's not entirely undeserved. This Italy is a lot easier to look at than years ago. Still going to root for another Spain win, though. I'm hoping little Iniesta's gonna shine once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhazardz Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I can honestly see Italy winning this, if someone told me that at the start of the tourney I would have laughed at them, but most of the squad is in pretty good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltiades Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Spain is European Champion! And how! That first half was probably the best football had to offer in this European Championship, with a decent and forward footballing Italy and a fenomenal Spain. A pity Italy fell to 10 men because of injuries, but in my opinion, a mistake by Italy's coach. Still, even with 11 men I doubt Italy could have gotten back in the match against this Spain.

Ping Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Spain just made history by winning 3 major tournaments in a row. Congrats to them. I hesitate to say that they're the "best ever team," unlike some of the sports analysts, but they're certainly up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Great team, yes, bet ever, hell no. Congrats to Spain, they're really about showball, although I think their style been somewhat boring of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are great, and truthfully could probably have two competitive national teams. But I wouldn't go as far as saying the best. Congrats to Spain, they're really about showball, although I think their style been somewhat boring of late. I don't really find it that boring...they're so technical, I find it somewhat beautiful.

I love the way Spain plays (always passing in groups of three--so fast!), but the first half of the final game was definitely the best playing of the entire tournament. Bet the Spanish are still celebrating their win. Wonder how they will do in the next World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
