Now Italy's really up against it.

Down 2-0, with only ten men, against a team that never concedes goals.

Here begins the comeback.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Spain is trying to style it up too much. Just kick the ball towards the goal.

 

[tirant]

Wow Italy is playing again some theatre

Portugal winning in Brazil would bring tears to my eyes.

Oh man. I'd be amazing. But I won't get my hopes up.

 

[spekkeh]

Well this EC is certainly going out on a whimper. At least Spain finally managed to score more than once against anyone else than Ireland.

 

[Gummifaust]

I JUST PUT £3,000 ON ITALY TO WIN, BRING IT ON!

I hope you're rich.

The CBBC commentary is superior.

 

[Hanmik]

Let Torres score a goal...

 

[jtb]

Iniesta will be 30, the World Cup is in Brazil, and Neymar will be 22. They're definitely not the favorites.

:lol Neymar. the Brazil national team is pretty poor atm, they've got time to develop, but... we'll see. I'd say Argentina have a far better chance at WC 2014 (if they ever get their shit together)... they've got all the pieces necessary to win.

and Spain will still be favorites because Cesc is the perfect replacement for Xavi. Biscuits/Fabregas/Iniesta midfield with actual wingers and a striker is still well above anything else anyone else will have to offer.

 

[NaviLink]

If Balotelli can transform into Super Sayan, now would be the time.

 

[Konosuke]

Let Torres score a goal...

I want this so bad :x

 

[Acidote]

Del Bosque get Llorente out there! He deserves to play!

 

[Noirulus]

Now wouldn't that be something.

 

[spekkeh]

Congrats to Spain, they deserve it. I can't really blame the team either. Criesofthepast said it all.

Blegh no team that plays with 0 strikers deserves it. But good on them for being the first team ever that does it three times in a row I guess.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Bring Mata on.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

what is happening

is this real life?

what the fuck italians

 

[Raist]

 

[Nevasleep]

The CBBC commentary is superior.

Haha this is slightly mad.

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy so lifeless. So sad to watch them like this. Poor Buffon. Must feel so helpless back there.

 

[flippedb]

Now Italian jerseys better go on sale.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The CBBC commentary is superior.

This is brilliant.

 

[jtb]

Italy don't deserve this. Really unlucky; so little rest, down to ten men...

 

[Xun]

Haha this is slightly mad.

It would be funny if they commentated on more sports.

 

[Acidote]

Now Italian jerseys better go on sale.

Did France jerseys went on sale? They're so nice. Specially their 2nd.

 

[ledman]

Iniesta will be 30, the World Cup is in Brazil, and Neymar will be 22. They're definitely not the favorites.

Neymar is playing like shit lately here in Brazil, the fame really got the boy hard and he always under perform against other national teams, don't be fooled by is goals here in Brazil , must teams here don't care for defence and fear him too much.

 

[pulga]

lol at the thread title

 

[Hoo-doo]

Italian morale took a nosedive.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

ole time.

 

[brotkasten]

Italy so lifeless. So sad to watch them like this. Poor Buffon. Must feel so helpless back there.

They're too tired to run.

 

[spekkeh]

Yeah France home and Holland away >> rest. Nike really won this tournament imo.

 

[gutter_trash]

2012 shirts have gone on sale here in stores that over stocked, I snagged an Ireland home last week and will get a Portugal home now that it has been price slashed

 

[Kurtofan]

Congrats to Italy for qualifying to the Confederations Cup.

 

[tirant]

Neymar should come to Europe and get some european experience.

Blegh no team that plays with 0 strikers deserves it. But good on them for being the first team ever that does it three times in a row I guess.

Why? It's just a tactic? Seems like a silly reason to say someone deserves it or not.

Fergie had success playing without a true striker with Roomey playing a deep 9 role and letting Ronaldo make runs inside.

No reason to obsess with specialization if you have depth of midfield quality. We'd all rather have a 9 that can create than a one dimensional Inzaghi, right?

 

[Jin_7]

Italy looks dead now.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Italy definitely aren't Chelsea.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

thread title is amazing.

 

[Sethos]

Hahaha the singing, "Arrivederci"

 

[criesofthepast]

Congrats to Italy for qualifying to the Confederations Cup.

That was known before the match though right? Spain were already going for winning 2010 so if they also won Euro it would have went to the runner up.

 

[Clegg]

This post makes no sense.

Spain clearly deserve to win as they are by far the best team in the world.

 

[Nevasleep]

It would be funny if they commentated on more sports.

Hopefully for the Olympics there will be a couple different audio options.

 

[Fantomex]

Slap his butt Alonso lols!

 

[norinrad]

It would be nice to see Italy turn on super mode......ah well a man can dream

 

[twofold]

The CBBC commentary is superior.

Haha. This is amazing. What the fuck is happening?! It's so random.

 

[Acidote]

Torres in

 

[SunhiLegend]

Slap his butt Alonso lols!

lol you could hear the slap on the TV

 

[spekkeh]

The current score between Spain and Italy is now 875.000.000.000 - 1.940.000.000.000

in deficit.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I'm trying to watch this sport, but sorry GAF, I can't.

To me, the best indication of how boring it is is the fact that the crowd is signing. I never saw a sport where there was so little excitement among the crowd other than during baseball.

I wouldn't be surprised if every seat had a little TV in the back like in airplanes.

edit: And that's not mentioning the fake injuries. In hockey you get a penalty for this shit.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

The Italian defense is a joke.

 

[jtb]

:lol Biscuits
