IT amazes me that he has PEPE confirmed and he's from a mid table team and di natale on the same team is much better

then ROSSI who is amazing for villareal is being tested in a friendly before he's confirmed

AND no cassano even though he's been phenomenal this year


Lippi surely has his favorites

what he's saying is ur not a fan of any particular national team, u just bandwagon....so u cant argue against me cuz i have a team...

no thats not what he means... and even if that was what he means hes wrong because i was a spain/brazil fan since i was 7.

[milad]

nobody liked spain untill 2008 how many stars is on their jersey? isnt euro 2008 the first thing theyve EVER won? dont forget yea they beat italy, in a shootout and we played without pirlo gattuso cannavaro id like to see spain play us without torres xavi n puyol see what wud of happend

well im not "nobody" then because spain was my fave euro team since 98 world cup and before euro 2008 i predicted either spain or holland would win. yea its true spain hardly won anything but now its their time to shine. but w.e they always played nicer than italy. the only reason italy won is because of their ridiculously defensive tactics. 1 euro 2008 while playing nice attacking>4 boring world cup defendings.

looks like you dont get it... obviously other than iran my fave international teams have been spain/brazil since i started following international football which was during the 98 wc. so how the hell am i glorhunter/bandwagoner when spain didnt win anything... after 10 years of supporting them they won. and brazil lost in finals if i was gloryhunter i would switch to france.

Egypt playing a friendly against Oman in Muscat. Why do you play against Oman to prepare for Brazil and Italy . 0-1 to Egypt in the 2nd half.

[persiangodfather]
