Good job Italy, especially on the last minute with a second goal. I cannot say I am not mad though, I am even gonna go get some fast food. (That means I am in mourning)

Let's try this, I'll say that Portugal will win and then we'll all see France in a final :D
At 05 July, 2006 14:17, bla said...: I'm not apologizing! I don't see why anyone should! I agree with Lilia and as you said Gog I thought this blog was for people's oppinions. But! I will say that all in all good job Italy. They played well, although so did Germany, and the goal was just amazing. Second goal was of course great too and just because it was Del Piero who I have respect for, but it was obvious and not surprising. The Germans weren't going to defend anymore - all attack. This was perhaps second great matchup after Germany - Argentina.

I only had one thought as the game went on - Italy came out with 1 attacker... SAME MISTAKE as Brazil did vs. France and they almost paid the price just like the Brazilians, but they brought in second attacker in and look what happened! Not that it was an attacker who scored, but still. However Brazil should be even more ashamed, because 1 forward is NOT their usual formation and they changed it just for the French... COWARDS! Italy has played with 1 attacker a lot because they're such a defensive team, so for them it was ok... but still get some courage and play like men! Anyways not a diss on Italy, just something I've noticed this cup with teams that all of the sudden go defensive.

At 06 July, 2006 07:32, bla said...: Gog I can cut stuff out of anything and make it look bad. How about posting the whole thing? "lol I hear all this Italy, Italy, Italy crap and nobody wants to talk about just how lucky the Italians were? I mean come on penalty on the 93rd minute! If that's not lucky I don't know what is. Granted the penalty was deserved, but because it was 93rd he could have let it fly. Anyways no biggie." - I was commenting about the game Italy had just played, and they did get lucky no? Do you want me to go get some posts where you have no faith in France and they make it anyways? We can go at this all day. Italy did not DOMINATE Germany, it was an even game although as I already said after that game - Italy did play very well, especially when they changed their formation. There's a difference between bashing Italy and stating facts about how they played after a game.

You don't want me to start bashing Italy and I can counter every single one of your bashes about Brazil with France by throwing you the same bone about Italy vs France (Euro 2000 final anyone?) or even Brazil vs. Italy - go check the record on who has the most wins on that, or I didn't want to bring this up but I mean what happened in World Cup 2002? And I'm still not bashing because those are facts as well, bashing would be when I say Italy sucks - and I haven't said that because if you haven't noticed my favorite club is from Italy. So good luck to Italy in the final, I definately will enjoy my weekend and as far as the last advice, well you can go do it yourself ;) hehe

P.S. Are you guys coming down this weekend or what?!
At 06 July, 2006 07:57, bla said...: Oh yeah and one more thing. Remember how I said Toni hadn't scored and he does nothing for Italy? Well he might have scored vs. Ukraine, but he still hasn't stepped up. Yes I am gonna say it - he sucks. He's done absolutely nothing for Italy and their offense except for those 2 goals. And by doing nothing I don't just mean scoring goals, but creating situations where others have scored goals and things like that. Pipo came on the field for 10 minutes and scored a goal - that's at his age. Italy has had 9 different players score in this world cup - which proves my point that their offense is still struggling very much. After Vierri, (I'll put the ego away for a second) Baggio and Pipo, they have not had any good strikers.

I guess I'm even bashing on AC Milan's own Gillardino, but I'll stay true to my word. I have seen Gillardino play for Milan and he has not stepped up there either. He has scored, but nothing like a world class striker. He has yet to grow, and perhaps that's the case with Toni, but at the moment Toni is the worst "main starting" striker this world cup.

The only memorable moment I have of Toni is his innocent face and hands in the form of "mama mia" every time he is whistled for offside lol. For Italy's MAIN STRIKER - he sucks. Does that sound like a broken record now? lol ok I'll finish this with - I hope Pipo gets to play in the final, because even though he is selfish when it comes to goals, he scores them much better than any other of the strikers except for Iaquinta - he has done great as well.
At 06 July, 2006 15:34, Lilia said...: First of all, I am not trying to make you feel guilty.
Secondly, noone actually said that Italy sucks. Well, at least, I didn't. I said that you do, lol, jk.
Everyone stands up for their teams, and that's normal. I mean look at you, Goga out of all the people here you have been the most defensive and bashed on other teams more than anyone has on yours.
