Spain - Italy

[Error.]

Who will win here ? I betted on Tie ... And than Italy win on penalties :)

[Xfire]

Italy wins ( somehow ).

[TeamGeist]

Italy wins ( somehow ).

Same thought.

[Bonzy]

i think spain wont let italy do much... but we will see

Italy

[DontWorryBeHappy]

3-2 for italy.

[imaginary]

If there were Nesta and Cannavaro at the back it would have been a quaranteed victory for Italy, it still seems like the most probable in my eyes, because some teams like Germany and Italy are just made for the big occasions, but with poor defense..Torres and Villa may get a party time. We'll see.

[ProfileScorp]

italy doesnt have pirlo and gatuso either, 2 of it's best players... they have no good forwarder (tony sux)
i guess 1-0 spain or something..

[sunnis]

well imho Italy is never but NEVER to be underestimated.

even without Nesta, Cannavaro, Pirlo, the Azzures will be really hard opponents.
and another thing is that Luca Toni was 'mr. Miss' in games so far, maybe it is time for him to hit a goal.

imho I would like Spain to win, but situation here is 50:50, I hope they don't pass like other group winners.

Italy
Same thing, Italy goes on penaltys...and btw Spain never won vs Italy in 70 years :)

[Xfire]

they have no good forwarder (tony sux)

It think he was the most dangerous forwarder in this entire Euro; I just remember I couldn't even watch each time he had the ball near our net.

[Kava]

so far all team who were second in group won ...
we will see :)

[imaginary]

Pirlo and Gattuso are no major loses imo cause Italy's midfield is just endless in backups, there are still Ambrosini, De Rossi, Aquilani, Perrotta, Camoranesi..
And Toni is like fierce to score, he's gonna take every even half-chance he gets. U should know Spain doesnt have proper defenders to mark him, Puyol = shorty, Marchena = generally BAD, Albiol might try but he's unexperienced yet. If Italy play their game slow controllin the rythm the usual typical football of theirs Spain will be helpless. If Spain scores first, match will open up, and we'll enjoy it much much more.

this boy is bloody good.

anyway I hope Italy will miss their main play maker Pirlo, it is a valuable advantage for Spain that he is not playing.

anyway Spain has the best attack so far, and they will also punish mistakes, and prooly there will be some by substitutes playing.

anyway a hard game is expected.

[_Spartan_]

I put my bet on Spain..
If Spain scores first, as imaginary said, it will be a very nice match to watch...
Cause as you know italy will play closed game..

[UtF]celtiC]

I hope Spain will win but its gonna be hard match and I kinda dont like Italy.

[Dejan Roskovksi]

well, i dunno how but Italy will win it somehow like they allways do (penaltys is supose)
but if Spain gets some space to play i think that F. Torres will be the punisher for Italy.
I don't think that Italy can win the game with play, playing in those 90 min. cuz we all know how defencive they play,
but if Italy gets through Russians will beat them easy :D .

[Nobber708]

still 0-0...

=)

[Nobber708]

Congratz Spain =)

[Xfire]

Spain won ( somehow ).

Nothing left from group C ;/

[sunnis]

Yes Yes Yes

it was a tie game.

Congratulations to Italy as well, good play.

It is not easy defeating World Champions, but this team has the power, the power to stand on the throne this year.

[Deity]

Heh when it camed down to penalty I hoped Spain will win and it did, but now it's going to loose.

[mestar.]

it was the most boring match in whole competition, team like Spain should be ashamed.

It would be hard for them to loose.. even if Russia played awesome after their first match ( which was with Spain ), they still lost 1-4, but if they manage to pass that moment at least mentally, they're in for final.

[sunnis]

it was quite boring, yes, when you take no sides, but looking aside, it was Italians who 'killed' the game, not Spain.

and there is nothing to be ashamed in victory.

[ProfileScorp]

Lol tony very dangerous this game too :laugh: there was only 1 bigger retard than him in this game: GUITZA :D:D (big big retard, how could he be selected?)

best player of the game: cassilias 100%, real hero, like Lobont :D

[imaginary]

Sunnis ;D im gonna study and work in sports journalism in UK, preferrably football so....;P

Toni wasnt bad Scorp he was just friggin alone, he needs a second striker at 5-10 metres distance from him to co-operate, not one 25 metres away runnin around in circles.
Italy BOOOOOORIN yawn so predictable play, long ball forward to Toni "ups i missed the header" sigh nothin changed in two years..
Spain also slightly borin with pass pass pass the ball pass more pass i pass to u Cesc u pass to me i pass to Ramos here comes the cross Villa cant get to the ball goal kick..
Guiza indeed doesnt look like a man who finished top scorer in Primera division.
And Buffon blows in penalties, Casillas dived to the correct side in all penalties, it was obvious from the third take already that Spain had it.
So im lookin forward to revenge time from the russians now ^ ^

[Kava]

boring game :s
gj for Spain

riiight...italians. not spain's total indetermination to risk anything, to cross to other half maybe a bit faster, or with more players. yes, it was only italians...:noob:

where was that "furious" spanish attack now. out of 120 minutes came myb 2 shots.where was Il Nino, or Villa or any1??if Spain has such imba attack why didn't they crush Italian defense

gg spain, they deserved to win this snoozeball, only bcuz Italians tried their imba luck for too many times. i'm actually glad they're goin home

[klemen]

I will tell a nice story about this game when I transfer pics from rome to my PC. :)


GG spain. This was the last game, that prevented euro to become total mess. All other 3 games ended very bad (cros (mega lucky turks), portugal (wtf?) and netherlands (WTF^2?????????))

But this game showed true winner. If Italy would won this one, I would stop watching euro.

[DontWorryBeHappy]

Spain imba,i like to see a final with Russia and Turkey

[TeamGeist]

With Russian style Spain is about to be demolished + Russia has one more reason to win, and it's called revenge, gogo For Mother Russia!!!
