Italy V Spain

Clash of the big boys.

On paper, it sounds groovy but it has the potential to be the worst game of the quarter finals.

I'm backing the Italians to build off their traditionally slow start.

Forza Italia!

 

I think Spain will win this one 2-1, they will grab the two in the first half while Italy sit there defending.

 

Unashamedly nicked from the BBC site

Not looking good for the Spaniards

 

good work by the cameraMAN on the Italian fans

 

Forza Azzurri..... Non Forza Italia

 

Sadly....I think it'll be Italy 1-0, Luca Toni, 60+ mins

Come on spain prove me wrong!

 

My bad.

I'm an ignorant piece of shit.

My Mam's Italian, mind. Well, she says she is.

 

Spain look like they're passing well, but looks like they're gonna have to pass really well to get through Italy.

 

Nah, it's just that Forza Italia is Berlusconi's party.

 

Early Yellow for Iniesta, might be reggretable later on.

 

Spain playing into Italian hands thus far.

 

fuck's sake. Motson can't mention Vialli without mentioning Chelsea. As though a great player can only be validated by being connected with an English club

 

Ahem..... you get that youtube link I sent? And empty yer pm box!!

 

He could have at least described him as the failed Watford manager.

 

sorry, been out for ages and not had a chance to look at it. Watching the game - I'll do it at half time

 

And pointed out that Vialli only went to chelsea towards the end of his career.

 

Dull.

 

lol @ the Italians claiming that wasnt a free kick

 

Good save by buffoon, then.

 

Exactly - if he'd said that Vialli had scored and he played for Juventus then that'd sound odd as well. But at least Juventus were the side he served for most of his career.

 

Ref looks like a young John Toshack

 

Lawro:...'Like a fourth former against a prefect'...

Cocknose.

 

Nice shot from Silva.

 

every time he says something annoyingly smug, just close your eyes and picture . I find it helps.

 

One of my favourite goals of all time. I was a 16 year old squaddie in the Kop that day, jumping wildly when I realised there was hundreds of other Evertonians in there aswell.

 

He's bionic after recovering so quickly.

 

can't wait for the Russians to give one of these two a spanking next week

 

Italy boring me, man there's a shock. Spain playing decent stuff.

 

Well, they promised dullness and they've delivered.

*Yawn.*

 

I'm very sorry. This is the first QF I've been able to watch, and as such it would seem I have invoked sod's law and this has become the one shit one.

I managed to book the remaining games off work too.

Sorry
