1. Pirlo just Pirlo

  2. That's not what I saw. I guess we all have different eyes for the game.

  3. Exactly, I love a game, even when one team is playing great and the other isn't. And I hoped Italy would win anyway, which added to the greatness I guess
  4. I didn't think England were that bad... They had to defend a lot against an attacking Italy... But they did create some things offensively too. They were close a few times.

    Absolutely, it could go either way. What if Rooney hit that bicycle kick a bit better in the last minute of the regular time

    Yeah... Or if Walcott had gotten through.

    Rooney is so slow compared to Walcott. It was like all speed went away when Walcott passed the ball to him.


  7. Can't agree more.
  8. I think it was awful. Greece played better than both the other day, AGAINST GERMANY!!!

  9. Are you comparing Barça style with today's Italy?

    I know you strongly dislike Barça, but I don't really think that anyone with a minimum of impartiality and love for football can be so blind... Barça might bore you, but they surely play one of the biggest and best footballs around. Italy was just defending like mad (and very well!) and attacking without much sense - and failing TONS of easy goals.

    +1.

    The problem of Italy is that they don´t have a good striker
  11. No, I'm not comparing Barcelona to Italy Just stating that your quote. Italy just shot, where's the excitement. That's how I see Barcelona, a boring game of control in the opponents half, but instead of shooting, it's passing.
