Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!:|

I wish practice would stop, and World Cup would finally start.

Who are the next sparring partners again? The ones on Sunday?:|

Frenchy is expert at arrogance. :S

corrected for you...
He is so gifted :|



PLEASE God, let Italy win, if only to spare us the French - they're bad enough without victory! :D:D:D




(I kid, I kid. Sorta) :D;);)

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

You're just a few words shy of being a complete parrot. Don't forget to mention what Der Spiegel said about Italians being "parasites, mama's boys and slimy".



I read your link. Here's what Cannavaro said, ""These stereotypes applied to us come from an old culture that has been overly abused." So, it sounds to me like he's saying, "We've been acting like this forever, and we've abused this culture." It sounds like he's admitting it to be true.;)

And no, I hadn't even read that thingon Der Spiegel. Ia m capable of coming to an independent conclusion that they are making more dives than Greg Louganis.

Wow, thanks for shedding light on those two winning goals -- the world was disputing them until your great authority on the game officially validated them.



Actually, my commentary was that it was nice to see that, for once, the Italians weren't offsides. Or that the Italians didn't resort to diving in the box to get a PK. It was actual good fundamental soccer that got the goal.

It's weird - once the overtime periods began, the Italians dominated. They weren't crashing to the ground (except one player who was apparently knocked silly by the ball while heading it out of the way. And no, I'm not accusing him of trying to get the ball sent off to preserve the scoreless streak) and were playing the sport like it should be played.

and for giving fans a fantastic performance in a classic match between two great sides.



Again, the lead role in "Madame Butterfly" is a performance. "Perform" they tried, but the "performance" was panned by the ref.

I want to see athletes engaged in a great match.

I will be proud of them for going 24 games in a row unbeaten



A streak that nobody questions is worthy of respect...

If you don't think we earned that victory yesterday, then you simply have a problem with the Italian team. Whether you have a problem with Italians in general is something I couldn't give a rat's ass about.

And I like how you conveniently ignored my point TWICE about Mr. Neill's elbow to Grosso's leg in the PK box vs. AU in our previous discussions and ignored my point about Ballack's very obvious dive yesterday. Seems you only have an eye for Italians doing dives. *Everybody dives.* Italians just get the most sh.t for it. And you seem to enjoy giving us sh.t for it. Good for you!

I feel the hate...and I LOVE IT. Keep the stereotypes coming, hater....like I said, we don't wear three stars without merit.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

*Everybody dives.*



The amount of diving in this entire comp has been appalling. The players should be ashamed of themselves (especially the Portugese) and FIFA should use video evidence to issue post match citings and fines for habitual divers, especially for fake injuries intended to draw yellow cards and/ or stop an attacking move from the opposing team. That would show the fairies some respect for the game.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That's a good idea -- they already do that with misconduct like punching/spitting etc., and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't do that for diving.

To me, the most obvious dive of the tournament was Ronaldo's on Saturday vs. France, when Lilian Thuram got carded and Brazil was awarded a free kick just outside the box.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
