[Football] Italy v France
As with the brazil/france game my head says italy but my heart says france. Id dearly dearly love zidane to cement his position amongst the uber greats by lifting the trophy, i realise that italy have played well and are the stronger and younger team on paper but i just don't think they deserve it what with the serie a scandals. I don't think france were as tired or as poor as people make out against potugal, that match was played at 80% with noone wanting to really dig in incase they committed a foul. With both teams having strong defences and not overly athletic individuals i can see this going to penalties.

henry to do well, france to get smashed please.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
Italy will crush those puny frogeaters and make me rich!*
*get me back the money I lost so far during the wc :( |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I'm predicting a 3 - 1 victory to Italy. Depending on how many people turn up to my local to watch the match (and choose to enter our sweep) I could have a fair bit of money coming my way if I'm right :)

Re: [Football] Italy v France
incidently its not really worth making another thread over, but c.ronaldo in throwing toys out of pram shocker
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/5120332.stm i can't see fergie letting him go, or if he does he'll make madrid/barca pay through their nose |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
on the one hand i want zidane to win. on the other, my dad got italy in the work sweepstakes.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I hope France wins. I just dont like the way the Italians play (like kicking us out, for example :))
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
France will win if you ask me.
So don´t if you have money riding on it :) |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I put a few euros on a tie in regular time and 1€ at 12.00 on the first goal in the last 15 minutes in case I'm wrong.
Anyway, I predict a terribly boring game where noone risks anything. unfortunatly you can't bet on that :/ |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
i hope france win, because of zidane
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
the same person in our office got both france and italy (not enough people for one team each...) so no loyalty in that respect.
It's more a question of who I'd least like to lose I think- they wouldn't allow a draw would they? :| |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
i'm hoping for Italy.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
hmm, not really fussed, think i would prefer france to win. all i want is a great final and to see zidane play well in his last game
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I dislike France and anything that adds to their petty petty nationalism can only be a bad thing, so Italy all the way.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
Forza Italia!
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
If you're headbutted in the chest, which really can't hurt that much, and lie there pretending to be injured so the judge is forced to stop the play, should you have a yellow for filming?

Re: [Football] Italy v France
i'm still baffled with regards to zidane, but some salvation for seeing that god of a man cannavaro hold up a trophy he surely deserved.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
fuking ****ish dickwads, i hope they all end up in the third division. Oh zidane.
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
What was up with Zidane? My god, he should have kept his cool.
A very nice ending to a very nice championship, just sad about Zidane. |

Re: [Football] Italy v France
I'm really curious what Matarazzi said to Zidane though
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
****ing wops. :mad:
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I reckon it was "I did the same thing to your mother last night" after the nipple tweaking thing.
Seriously though, what a stupid way for Zidane to go |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
You know if Italy could have kept France from scoring this game they would have broken a record for being (almost) able to make it without being scored against. Not anymore. :/
|
Re: [Football] Italy v France
Overall a deserved title for Italy, even though France played better football today. I was really impressed by the french midfield, Malouda, Ribery, Viera, Makele, Zidane all played well.
But what a horrible way to go for Zidane. I can't believe he did something so stupid in the WC final. :( And now it is all over, a fabulous five weeks for me (and I believe most people in Germany), four years will be a terribly long wait. |

Re: [Football] Italy v France
He certainly hit him quite hard. Wonder what he said to him to make him lose it as he wa slaughing about it whilst walking alongside and then suddenly turned round and headbutted the guy.
Oh well i dont like the French anyway, so hey Italia! |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
Justice.
edit: Francia, Francia, Vaffanculo! |

Seems big Phil Scolari has joined in the party at the bottom of pic 20 :eek:. |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
I'm pleased that Italy won it, purely because I like Lippi for some reason.

My mate and i were of the opinion it was "I don't know why you're getting so upset, your wife loved it when i tweaked her nipple like that". |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
whatever it was, hes a pro and should be used to baiting like that by now.
why 6 hit, phang? also there was no combos in street fighter. |
Re: [Football] Italy v France

Also there are lots of combos (real ones, not canned ones). |

How many times in his career has he head butted, stomped on other players. Several according to all reports. Live by the head butt---die by the head butt. |

iirc hes been sent off 14 times, he isn't a vinnie jones or dare i say it materazzi who foul without any real reason, im not condoning what he did but alluding to zidane as being some sort of bull that charges around committing fouls is bollocks, when he played in england materazzi was sent of 3 times in one season, and with good reason http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hbls...arch=materazzi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJPKM...arch=materazzi there are quite a few players and fans around europe (me included) who are bemused at materazzis sudden victim status. |
Re: [Football] Italy v France
Materazzi is clearly the football equivalent of a five year old with his hand in the cookie jar. When he says he doesn´t know what ´Terrorist´ means it is all more clear to me that he said things that can not bare the light of day.

I thought Ibrahimovic would kill Materazzi if he ever tried that on him, still no fight to enjoy though :(

Re: [Football] Italy v France
At least now Zidane's career is ending with a moment that will go down in the history of football forever, rather than blow out like a night candle - I doubt Zidane's sending off affected the outcome of the game at all.
Come 2012: "Hey, do you remember that World Cup final when Trezeguet missed that penalty?" -"Not really, when and who was that against again?" "Against Italy." -"Oh right, the game where Zidane awesomely headbutted Materazzi!" |
