... 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 1050 Views
They do have history, that's for sure Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 608 Views

I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 609 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 615 Views
New Zealand's going to win! Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 621 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 360 Views
I don't even know who that is. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:49:05 AM 608 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 615 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 666 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 656 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 615 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 677 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 587 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 644 Views

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 753 Views

Let's do a group by group analysis jh - 08/06/2010 09:44:42 AM 878 Views
I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 626 Views
My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 665 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 604 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 631 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 694 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 627 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 352 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 591 Views
