Remster 30 #326 June 26, 2006 QuoteI'm still curious to hear your reasons for hating Italians if you don't mind sharing. Its really not terribly objective I'm affraid! I just remember watching the Mundial from a few years ago and being really really annoyed at the amount of diving the italians were doing... Much much more then the other teams at the time... I wont say that they dive and act more now then the average team does in today's play style (a shame really), but that initial feeling is what made me dislike the Italian team.

Not sure if it made you feel any better, but the Italians got burned by their own doing when Totti went down in the penalty box vs Korea and got a bogus red card handed to him. You do it enough times, people will begin to doubt even the legitimate fouls. It's a bad strategy, one that irks me too. But I do disagree with the idea that today's penalty was completely illegitimate. QuoteWe all need a favorite and less favorite team! True dat. Holland is one of my favorite teams and I'll admit that they did two very obvious dives in yesterday's game vs. Portugal. *All teams dive* (though I find England and Brazil do it to a lesser degree than most teams, kudos to them). Italians just get the most sh.t for it. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

masterblaster72 0 #336 June 26, 2006 QuoteThe red card was undeserved, so was the penalty. Too many games in this tournament are being influenced by referee decisions, some of them border line at best, others truly idiotic. That's a shame... For the doubters, have a look at the video highlights by clicking on the "video highlights" link. The penalty call is at 2:08 of the video if you want to fast forward to it. I had some doubts earlier, but now I have none. After watching the replays several times, I'm absolutely certain this is a legitimate call. Note how the defender puts his left elbow up when Grosso goes toward the ball. Unequivocal obstruction. I, for one (and probably the only one here), am proud of my team's heroic 9 on 10 effort today. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I know of very few teams which would have been able to defeat such an amazing Ukrainian team. Maybe Burkina Faso on a good day... Now that all the boys are out, let's have the men play!

grue 1 #344 June 27, 2006 Are you kidding? It was a load of horseshit. The defender was on the ground in front of him and he ran over him. He could have changed course and avoided the "collision", which mind you wouldn't have taken down my 84 year old grandmother. Diving is for pussies, full stop. The amount of it disgusts me, and I would yell at my own team for doing it in uni. By taking a dive, you are doing nothing more than showing yourself to be unable to compete in the sport.

I was going to ask you if YOU'RE the one who's kidding. Then I read these remarks about Hiroshima, hairy Italian women and boycotting Italian products, and realized that it would be a waste of time to attempt engaging you in a serious discussion about the game. In addition to your stereotype about hairy Italian women (I believe you call us "wogs" down under, no?), you forgot to mention that us Italian men are all a bunch of hot-tempered mafioso thieves (which I suppose, according to your reasoning, is the sole reason we won?). As a matter of fact, be careful, if I see you at the dz I might steal your rig and get big Rocco to break your legs if you look at me the wrong way. Good effort by your team (and your team is a good one and a very worthy opponent that I take as seriously as any of the other teams), but you got outclassed with a one-man advantage -- end of story. Oh, and I reiterate once again: that penalty -- it was quite legitimate. I feel your frustration, but for f.cks sake quit crying and accept it for what it is -- your team lost, we won. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
