... What?? jh Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 10:35:17 AM

Italy somehow always weasels through, no matter how unattractive they're playing


Though in fairness, you played plenty attractive football in 2006, and Philip Lahm is awesome.


The second half against Sweden in 2006 was the best 45 minutes I ever saw of a German national team


You mean the first half, surely?

Spain are easily the best, but I think they'll choke. Liam - 08/06/2010 08:21:03 AM 966 Views
They do have history, that's for sure Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 513 Views

I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 525 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 535 Views
New Zealand's going to win! Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 545 Views
Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM* Liam - 08/06/2010 08:43:52 AM 327 Views
I don't even know who that is. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:49:05 AM 529 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 540 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 577 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 574 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 527 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 588 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 504 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 557 Views

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 667 Views

Let's do a group by group analysis jh - 08/06/2010 09:44:42 AM 777 Views
I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 544 Views
My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 580 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 524 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 545 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 608 Views
Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:15:05 AM 536 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 321 Views

Truthfully, I'll watch, but I doubt I'll be a huge supporter of any country. LordPerrin - 08/06/2010 01:07:54 PM 501 Views
