the whole point is Spain don't have to be boring. They could be a lot more exciting than they are. How hard is that to understand?

Casillas has been excellent
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:02 (thirteen years ago)
Eeh, this could get bloody
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:04 (thirteen years ago)
that's a penalty

games over

balotelli has been very quiet.

Yeah xp Italy should close up really, this is done

Motta was an amateur mistake of the coach
― nostormo, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:10 (thirteen years ago)
I don't think he was injured when he came on
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:11 (thirteen years ago)
yeah but he didnt play for a while, and didnt warm up enough
― nostormo, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:13 (thirteen years ago)
also, no more subs after 60 min?
― nostormo, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:14 (thirteen years ago)
the motta sub seemed strange anyway, a less attacking player than montolivo at 0-2
rm might have been tiring but with only 1 sub left, it was rash

exactly

Italian goal just around the corner
― Özil Gummidge (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:17 (thirteen years ago)
xps Maximum of three subs, Motta himself was the third sub (Italy had an injury and had to use one really early on)
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:18 (thirteen years ago)
as i said it was a mistake
― nostormo, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:19 (thirteen years ago)
Torres to get the most tragic golden boot
― Number None, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:21 (thirteen years ago)
wtf was that?!

One priceless Lawro moment, when thingy mentioned Pirlo's quote about losing the final being like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope: "done that a few times"― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Liked the "fishes and loaves job" as well.

Can't wait for the World Cup and see how the Spanish team (certainly replacements for a tiring Iniesta & Xavi) will do against Brazil & Argentina in their own back yard.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:25 (thirteen years ago)
good chance Spain will also win the next World Cup - almost all pkayers under 30 years old.

Unbelieeeeeevvvaaable
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:27 (thirteen years ago)
really want Mario to steal Nando's golden boot now
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:29 (thirteen years ago)
pity substitutions all round now
― Number None, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:29 (thirteen years ago)
Mata!
I guess that assist gives Torres the Golden Boot.

wow spain is shitting on these dudes
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:32 (thirteen years ago)
poor Italy, they are so knackered
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:33 (thirteen years ago)
so boring
― now all my posts got ship in it (dayo), Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:33 (thirteen years ago)
If only Di Natale would've scored...Spain would've gotten more, I guess.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:34 (thirteen years ago)
Thing is the match was all over by half-time. In that sense it was boring :)
so unfair that this is the side who Spain finally give a pasting to
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:37 (thirteen years ago)
ohh supermario has gone nuts at something
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 1 July 2012 20:37 (thirteen years ago)
but I'm pleased they won it like this

Zzz spain.

i feel really bad after that. as bad as i can feel after an international game, because italy is my team in the euros. there's a big gulf between the quality of the two, but italy went for them and so the game was open. this meant spain's usual "boring" play was translated into chances and goals, because italy didnt park the bus. so it feels like vindication for the "no striker" tactic, but of course it would've been a totally different game if di natale had scored one of his chances, and prandelli hadnt taken off marchisio, and italy hadn't been reduced to ten men. the last 10 minutes were likely to be an onslaught from spain in any case, as we saw in the first game between the two,but 2 nil down and down to ten men was just too much for them. bruuuuutal.

omg srsly #0?
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:04 (thirteen years ago)
xavi will probably be there in 2014
iniesta certainly
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:05 (thirteen years ago)
Did Italy really fly into Kiev at 3am last night? Someone's going to get absolutely castigated for that.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:07 (thirteen years ago)
Iniesta will, not sure about Xavi - that might be the first big selection mistake. Bosque is ruthless so I reckon he'll let him go.
But hey replacements are there.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:08 (thirteen years ago)
Golden Boot for three goals is pretty lame.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:08 (thirteen years ago)
there were pics of them getting on or off a plane in daylight yesterday
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:08 (thirteen years ago)
it was "a show of solidarity between the Spanish and the Catalans". He wasn't joking
― Number None, Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:10 (thirteen years ago)
there are no replacements for xavi or iniesta
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Sunday, 1 July 2012 21:10 (thirteen years ago)
thiago alcantara in five years maybe
