Italy win.
Exactly. Italy could and should have won in the first 90 mins.
You're damn right!
Great game by Italy, it was a pitty they didn't scored earlier... but thank you Buffon! and that touch of Pirlo in the penalty was just magnificent!
Very happy for my team and now... against Germany!
And having all the luck as well.
To be fair we're on the same level as Sweden and Russia and they'd be biting your hand off to take it to pens in the QF.
Can only dream of going toe to toe with Spain and the krauts. Italy nothing special and will duly be battered. Only Ronaldo having a blinder preventing a Spa v Ger final.
Very true. We had pretty much all the luck throughout and still could not take our chances.
We are a technically very ordinary team.
Still, at least England gave pretty much their all this time round and two decent semis in prospect - looking forward to them myself... :)
An entertaining game tonight if you are not English. STill their passion deserves a compliment as does Hodgon who did more for the team tham the English papers gave him credit for. Well played.
And that Panenka by Pirlo as a penalty showed nerves of steel. To be able to do that at such a moment is a sign of sheer class. Which the man did show the whole game.
Congrats to the surrender monkeys who for a change didn't have a reverse gear in their tank.
Oh well. Looking foreward to Italy vs Germany. Two attacking sides, ought to be a good game. And wondering if the Portugese will stunt, but neither them nor the Spanish I find really appealing, tbh.
Sorry I thought we were discussing matters of material fact not your opinion of who had the best chance of winning.
You are entirely correct in that there are only 3 or 4 teams who ever had any chance of winning it but thankfully you're not in charge of UEFA as a tournament featuring Spain, Germany, Italy and then a play off for the final semi final place between Holland and Portugal would be pretty dire.
At the start of the competition there are 50 odd countries and they all have the same opportunity to win it as one another. If Andorra, San Marino or even England win all the matches they play they win the tournament no matter how much you think they have no chance.
At the point I made my statement only 5 countries could win it and until the last Italian penalty went in there were still 5. The fact that you, and indeed I, believe that there's no way England could ever beat Italy, then Germany, then Spain is just opinion and entirely irrelevant.
And when it comes to the Dutch, I never believed they would survive the poule-fase. But even I was flabbergasted how poor they turned out to be. And the blame game has begun in the Netherlands, rightfully so I would say. I blame the trainer, his staff and all of the players. O:-)
Yeah at least we went out with heads held higher than the squabbling Dutch and the pathetically gutless frogs - who have squads packed with talent we can only dream of.
At the end of the day we have a very average set of players with at a pinch 2 world class players in Hart and Ashley Cole. The rest are decent enough pros but on the world stage, unlike the champions league when they are surrounded by quality foreign players, they have shown time and again they just aren't very good. Even Ukraine played us off the park and our lack of posession over the 3 and a half games told in the end when from 50 minutes in we were dead on our feet and hanging on for pens.
I think it's safe to say that any country who can find a place for Downing in their squad is never going to trouble the business end of the tournament!
