Digsy Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Now our muppets, sorry lads, are out I need someone to support and I'm backing the Italians. Plus they're got a Brit playing for them! Now just got to hope Totti and Co can stick a couple past the Germans and put a smile back on my face. Anyone have a different perspective? Quote

Italy are as bland as England Germany are'nt much better Quote
Gus Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 As a Scot with an unbiased opinion, then I think the Germans have played the best football of the remaining teams ( France have been good the last couple of games but were poor early on ). Germany v France final for me Gus Quote
350Znismo Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just come from the Pub (In Norway) Was with 5 German's Almost P**sed myself when they lost, Tried not to gloat in front of them Quote
Removed Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 ANDIAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A GAME! I haven't seen Italy playing this well since... well... 1982 the next person that says Italy plays bland football will be banned Quote

Digsy Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Calm down, Val. You'll give yourself a hernia! Quote
Digsy Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Who would you rather play in the final, Val? Quote
Removed Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 good q.... both good teams... probably Portugal as they won't have a clue about handling world cup finals ? Quote
Guest prescience Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Brill game and 2-0 flattered Italy; 1-0 would've been just, repeat just, about right Quote
Digsy Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Portugal looked very beatable on Saturday (admittedly with a couple of first-teamers out) and their temperament is suspect. I'd be far more worried about France, especially with Zidane firing on all cylinders again. Quote

Lippi made 3 substitutions, , 3 strikers!!!!! we went for it in a way I would have never expected Italy to play, and it paid off Quote

Guest prescience Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I have no teeth, Val kicked them in until I wrote it Quote
Removed Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 in all honesty i though we'd go out as we hadn't played a proper team as of yet, plus playing vs the hosts... and seeing how germany was well looked after in the argentina game... but since the very first minutes, it was a very very open game and we gave it all, really didn't expect it, at all! mind you probably the whole team will end up going to play all over the world anyway, with the mess back home...

Yeah that's bad right enough; Juve possibly down 2 divisions - be pretty unhappy about my promotion prospects if I were a team already in that division Quote

nikos Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 watched the match last night and initially wanted Germany to win but soon shifted allegiances. Guess i just favoured the underdog and I did not the Huns' air of arrogance, like they were supposed to win it. Italy played much better and were well deserved winners. Will be forced to support france tonight (obviously I wouldnt through choice, but due to Portugal being a bunch of 'simulators' and Ronaldo being a to$$er.....) Quote
AndyC Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Fantastic game to watch. The best team won. My sentiments exactly Mike, congratulations Val, bet you're a happy happy man today Quote
Liam's Z Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Thought the game was a bit bland........ Joke Val Xtra time was brilliant,,, hitting the post twice in 2 minutes.... Very exciting.... Made up it never went to pens,,, only gonna be one winner there Quote
