what do you mean? they always play like that...totti was disappointing though... i just saw that zidane free kick again...no wonder he's been selected for best world player :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Italy is like 8 defenders and 3 attackers that rely on the counterattack, and Denmark knows how to deal with it Denmark played attacking football which is much more fun to watch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what italy is famous for...unfortunately. it's silly coz they have couple of best deffenders imo (cannavaro and nesta)...ahh, they should get rid of trapatoni, although they would probably still play in the same formation... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know, but I like to point that out because I hate it when teams play like that, and hopefully the winner of this eurocup will be a team that plays (forward) attacking football |
||||||||
|

|
|
exactly!!! that is why i love france do much :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was bitter??? \:S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was kidding. seems like you have hard time accepting english team lose against french, that's all...and yes, maybe i am a bit too excited about french. but saying they play the most beautiful/best football is totally in place :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
common, that was not the reason why they won the match yesterday, to me it was a team that depended on one player ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, it's hard to score, when there are 11 players standing in line infront of the goal :) and everyone plays that way against france, coz they're all scared!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha I think I watched another game, they played a little bit more offensive after the first goal (which is natural) but not with 11 players! |
||||||||
|

I didnt know that ultra supporter side of your personality I am spanish, I cont care who won between frenchs and english... well maybe I even prefer france to win so they are first, that way if we are first we wont see them in 1/4 finals but still it was obvious that they were lucky cos they played bad during 90 minutes england had some chances to even do the 2-0 I saw the match and I didnt see england being too defensive, of course they were conservative in some way, but not at all waited for the french to come to their area |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh not at all m8,I didn't support a specific side for this match. I thought the conclusion of the match was fantastic, a real thriller and the Zidane free kick was brilliant. I can understand how shellshocked 'n sour the England fans must be though, but it was England's own fault anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im full of surprises, aren't i :) here's match statistics...it's pretty obvious who the better side was... (see passes and completed passes...shots on target...) |

when did I say england played better than france? I just said that france played bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so you're saying england suck ass? ok, got it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed, I think actually england is a weak team... the worst of the usual top teams (italy, germany, france, netherlands, england, portugal, spain) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw sweden 1 bulgary 0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...this is how i see those teams - from strongest to weakest: -france -england -germany -netherlands -italy -spain -portugal with french and english teams being far ahead :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me its: France Spain Italy Portugal England Germany Netherlands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
france spain and italy being far ahead :) |

Sweden - bulgaria 5 - 0 entertaining and fair game poor Bulgaria |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah , they got a lesson in efficiency cos Bulgaria certainly didn't play as bad as the final score makes it sound but they just hopelessly wasted all the chances the created. Top quality strikers in the Swedish Squad, they looked like serious contenders tonight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed there is nothing to blame Bulgaria, Sweden scored almost every opportunity |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact, sweden could have made a few more goals... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never enough eh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just pure facts from the game... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
congratulations and thanks to both teams for giving such a nice spectacle 2nd goal was amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

italy was a shit! it's a shame... congs to sweden, they palyed a great football, Ibrahimovic-Ljungberg-Larsson were fantastics! Sweden is scary... they will kick our italian ass out of this championship next Fridaty... ... .. |

i'm lloking forward to the game against italy this friday... shall we perhaps swing a beer together then, woofer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my connection has been down for the last few days, so here are some thoughts: -HAHA ENGLAND! -well that italy game was pretty terrible... i don't know what's wrong with those guys, but i'm willing to blame it all on trappatoni, because he's been the problem in the past... honestly at some points in that game i don't know what the hell they were defending... the number of awesome chances that dennmark got just because the italians just kept collapsing, and collapsing and collapsing... you do actually have to challenge the play EVENTUALLY! bleh... i hope they can pull themselves together for next game... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that is always how italian use to act in the beginning of each tournament... lame and quite ignorant... and they play some draw matches and always tend to win with some small margins and suddenly they're among the top four teams... right, woofer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a surprise to see italy playing with strikers at all... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. Trappatoni is famous for his defensive game, anyway yesterday we played with 3 strikers (Vieri, DelPiero, Totti), while in World Cup 2002 just 2 strikers (Vieri, Totti or DelPiero), so in this cup we're a step forward. In the story of Italy we always won, with good defensive game, with perfects tactics and then sudden counter-attacks. Italians characteristics are these, and it will be hard to change that. Italy has best defense of this European imo, with Buffon, Cannavaro, Nesta and Ferrari, a bad midfield, and a good attack but yesterday midfield didn't work well, so the strikers received few ballons to play. Anyway for next World Cup I will change Trappatone for sure, he's too much defensivist for my tastes. But remember, also with another coach Italy would alwaus play a tactical football with strong defense and sudden counter attacks. |

|
|
"taly has best defense of this European imo, with Buffon, Cannavaro, Nesta and Ferrari" i totally agree! that is also why it's silly they play so deffensive...i mean surely those 3 could do good work on their own. but as you say...italy just plays that way :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i'm totally in love with their defense... but even their defense (in particular guys like panucci<--why is he a regular starter?!) was allowing far too many chances... italy was VERY lucky not to concede a goal... -this czech game is pretty awesome so far... Nedved is so amazing to watch sometimes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i enjoyed the denmark - italy game, best match so far even though it was 0-0. |

Czech Rep - 0 Latvia ------- 1 man, so much surprises |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. denmarks fastpace offense and italy's lazy dreamteam were a joy to watch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chech Rep - Latvia 2 - 1 In a way the referee left a mark on this match |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha, what a mess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
poor Latvia it would have been good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and now..... netherlands - germany what do you think will hapen? which team is better? can germany stop makaay and van nistelroy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Prediction Holland 2 Germany 0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe holland will give germany some of their own medicine and dive a lot in the penalty area. not that nistelrooy dives a lot... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know what I think ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Holland - Germany 1 - 1 got nothing to say.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they stoped makaay pretty good imo. germany is looking superstrong, it's amazing how good they can play with players like they have... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Germany should try their chances at the EC handball as well |
