... 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 1112 Views
They do have history, that's for sure Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 665 Views

I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 667 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 682 Views
New Zealand's going to win! Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 695 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 390 Views
I don't even know who that is. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:49:05 AM 672 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 677 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 729 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 737 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 673 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 739 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 647 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 708 Views

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 806 Views

Let's do a group by group analysis jh - 08/06/2010 09:44:42 AM 942 Views
I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 687 Views
My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 719 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 666 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 686 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 749 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 684 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 384 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 659 Views
