Jon 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Glad Spain won it, couldt have given a toss who scored the winning penalty though. Could be a cracker of a game between Russia v Spain now, not looking forward to Germany v Turkey as the german fuckers likely to go through Tipping Spain cos Id really like them to win it now Holland are out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Glad Spain went through, not because I dislike Italy but because Spain were the only team who actually tried to win the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I fookin hate Italy.....AND they didnt deserve to be there 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 They deserved to be there more than we did, and more than France did. Did they finish above us in the group ? Yep, which means they deserved it more than us. But since they DID get there they have been pretty poor ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Sorry I still disagree. The free-kick given just before there winning goal, was never a free-kick......hence my reasoning behind them not deserving to be there. I dont give a fuck if they got more points than us, IMO they didn't deserve to be there..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Italy are useless, negative, defensive. They think just turning up at matches means they should win. Take Pirlo out of the squad and they are average. As Motson said this evening; Toni is like a 6ft 4inch blancmange. Still gutted Scotland were put out by them after we ran rings round them at Hampden. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon, if you think that the "free kick that never was" was the sole reason that the Italians never deserved to go through then that is, quite simply, flawed logic. Italy finished with 29 points to our 24. Had they not been given that free kick then they would have finished with 27 points and we would have 25. Still more than us. The whole point of qualifying is having more points than your opponents - Italy and France had more than we did and therefore deserved to go through. Or are you saying that the Italians didnt deserve to go through despite beating us home and away ? Again, flawed logic. If we should be disappointed about any team beating us to Euro 2008 it should have been the French after we took 6 points from them - but, again, you don't go through by only beating your strongest opponents - you have to do the goods against the other teams too and it seems we didnt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 You just need to look at the scandal in Italian football two years ago to see why I'm sitting here laughing at them getting put out tonight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Agree about the French but still disagree about Italy. For two of the top teams in the world, you would expect a hell of a lot more than they showed. Not really fussed about the stats, IMO we deserved to through more than the French and Italians.... we didn't though and that was due to some of our other resulkts. I'm not making excuses for that but am still entitled to my opinion that Italy didnt deserve to be there and thankfully are now on there way back home! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
