Euro 2012 - News & Predictions

It seems like Lance is not the only jealous one here and if he is, at least he's not bitter!

SInce WC06, I hate Italy, but they win my respect and my support during euro2012. They deserved better than bad luck

Nobody to answer among spain fans?

It is possible, but we wouldn't know. It makes no sense to me how they show no fatigue, even when compared to teams like germany which have top class fitness.
especially with their higher age players NOT aging.
I personally would not be surprised, la liga and spain in general are very corrupt.

Hehe you're implying that their team is doping ? Not impossible

But whatever they are taking it's not making them stronger, just giving them more energy and speed because they are the most fragile team in the world.

Doping is pretty common in every sport that somebody gives a **** about, football is too big of a business for it not to have doping involved in it. It is not exclusive to Spain though, players like Balotelli or Drogba are just too strong and enduring imo, anyone with half a wit can see they are on something, just look at Balotelli's goal celebrations and tell me that guy aint doping his balls off.

another sign, doping players get injured with much more ease

balotelli isn't that doping, but drogba, yes the guy is just too much.

I was routing for Italy in this game as a victory for Spain would be a win for anti soccer. Naturally I was dissapointed that Italy lost but afterwards I thought of the positives that came out of this. Italy winning would be rewarding them for passing off a Ghanian player as Italian. The fact that the Ghanian guy stormed off the field after the final whistle and didn't even join the actual Italian players shaking hands shows what he considers himself as well. Too bad he didn't feel strongly enough about it not to come back for the awards ceremony and snatch a silver medal that belonged to the actual Italians.
I don't approve of anti soccer prevailing but I am ok with a full blooded team winning over a mix and match team.

simply heartbreaking loss....but lots of bad luck, u cant deny that

- forced sub for chiellini at the beginning...could it be coincidence the first goal happened from that same left side?
- forced to play with 10 men when motta got injured......who can make a come back against spain with 10 men?
- 3 games in 7 days, less rest than any team in the tournament and having to deal with injuries of chiellini, abate, barzagli, de rossi, motta and a half ass cassano cuz of his heart surgery


overall i still love this italy team, they didnt deserve this score line.....Spain was being really UNCLASSY for even attempting to run up the score line when they knew the game was over. But just like real and barca who love to run up the scoreline against helpless teams, they did the same here. I was a spain supporter also but im disgusted at the way la liga has been with the 2 teams and now the national team who plays boring football and likes to hold 1-0 scorelines of course unless they know they got the upper hand thats when they decide to run up the scoreline. yea very good job spaniards

^boring football?? Lol please stop it. Accept it that spain was 3 classes better than Italy. spain played not with 100% when Motta was injured but after Torres came in they wanted Torres win the scorer trophy that was the reason they started attacking again. At this day spain was unbeatable even if italy played with 12 men and cassano with two hearts.

Interestingly, the Italian media suggest that Italy was completely dominated by Spain. But our PFDC experts insist that Italy was unlucky. looooooooooool

Even Italian coach in an interview in La Stampa says Spain was much stronger than Italy. This is to say the level of expertise of some in this forum. lol

I don't understand how Spain plays boring football infact I enjoy it their passing is amazing and so unpredictable it can really tire out the opposition. Suppose Italy played with 11 men the whole game and were not so tired out I still think Spain would dominate but with a lesser scoreline like 2-0

Yesterday they didn't play boring football but mostly they just take the lead and then barely attacks and they just wait the time out.
