1. I'm rooting for italy and england today!

  2. I've seen very often people/media comparing German and Italian football as being of similar style (usually mentioned as defensive/boring) and I can't see it at all. Since I was a teenager (80's) I've always thought Germany football was spectacular unlike Italy... both very effective and practical, but I've never being bored in a match featuring Germany (except that one game against Austria).


  3. Okay, you're forgiven
  4. I'm still pissed at England and Iceland is a very charismatic team, so is a no brainer for me.
  5. Go Italy!
  6. sorry I'm afraid of spain, I don't want germany to face them (thus rooting for italy). I also have a soft spot for england and truly believe they've been quite good this tournament!
  7. It's really hard not to pull for Iceland...

    To me it's totally different styles... Italian is defensive style with a lot of diving and death pretending (of course, others do it too, but Italians are experts in that) and Germans... I just don't know why I don't like it... just don't like to watch it...
  9. ITALIAAAA
  10. 2-0!
