[Adamm]

What was that little ****zy scrap about in the net.

The italians wanted the ball back quickly, but the goalie wouldn't let them have it

[ihatehash]

1. Paraguay
2. Slovakia
3. New Zealand
4. Italy

[CHA!NGANG]

First half was poor. 2nd half was amazing.

[MrPinkPanther]

One of the best games I have seen in a long time! The second half anyway.

[Tintinnabulate]

So who is fav to win this year?

[CHA!NGANG]

Now I'd say Brazil.

Netherlands are the dark horse.

I think everyone else will fall. Spain have too much pressure on them. Germany are too inexperienced. Portugal are too fickle. Argentina have a poor defence. I don't think that England are good enough at the moment, who knows though we might pick it up.

[::Art::]

Are Italy gone :S

[Tintinnabulate]

Are Italy gone :S

Yeppp.

LOOOOOL epic fail!

[HotelUser]

I was really surprised by the end of this game. I really thought Italy stood a better chance of winning, until their defence made that infront of net pass which caused this goal!

No offense David but you sound very Canadian when you say that :P

I thought Italy would do it towards the end of the game, really did but, these things happen. They have a good enough youth set up, much like France, and they'll bounce back.

They do?

[CHA!NGANG]

They do?

Players that come off the top of my head are Shirgu, Mannone, Santon, Criscito, De Ceglie, Motta, Santacroce, Chiellini, Marchisio, Poli, D'Alessandro, Giovinco, Rossi, Balotelli, Macheda.

And quite a few others too.

Still not great and won't be a shadow of the current team in when it was in its peak. (even excluding the WC win)

Hm.. not so sure about that. Won't be as good as the 2006 team which was great but Shirgu could become a world class keeper. Santon could become a world class RB. Criscito could be a world class LB. Chiellini is already a world class CB. Marchisio is very talented. Poli is like our Wilshire/Rodwell, and D'Alessandro the same. Giovinco is already a very talented player and could go on to be the Italian Iniesta. Balotelli if he gets over his attitude problem can become world class. Macheda I'm not sure about but for an 18 year old he's very talented.

Hahaha Italy, flicked onto SKY Italia on the night of the defeat and all I heard and saw were some Italian pundits going ******* crazy, was hilarious. Amazing.
