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?

Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM*

Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"?

Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy...

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane.

That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia.

I've been a traditional supporter of Germany. But I do support Australia too.
