Jon 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Partly because we were the underdogs, yes. I see no harm in that line of thought at all. No-body expected anything at all of us yet we exceeded everybody's expectations. We performed better in the group, be it ranking, expectation even play etc Whats your problem with me saying I think we deserved it more than either France or Italy did? Yes they both had more points than us, I have never disputed that. It doesnt however alter my view that we were more deserving than both of them.

scooter657 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 How many goals did he score again? :moon: What you getting at? You can't doubt his quality because he failed to score in 4 games for a very defense minded side. Palermo: Played 80, Scored 50 Fiorentina: Played 67, Scored 47 Bayern: Played 31, Scored 24 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter657 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I happen to believe the away game was close, I could be wrong but was it 2-0 with 2 Pirlo free kicks? I could be wrong but cant be bothered to check. I think we matched them in that game and were unlucky tbh. Just my opinion of course. No, Luca Toni scored a double in a 2-0 loss. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I guess in that case we will have to agree to disagree Jon. Being the underdog and coming clsoe doesn't make you any more deserving than the two teams who made it. Don't get me wrong, I wish it WAS the case but we didn't do enough against the other teams (including Italy...) whilst the French and Italians did. I agree.... we disagree. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Aside from Greece, Italy have probably been themost defensive team in the tournament. No loss to see them go home 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Utter pish. They beat us in Italy, simple. At Hampden it was never a free-kick, I agree - never disputed it. However, even if they didnt get the goal from that free kick and the game ended in a draw then they still beat us by 2 points. Jon, Post of the day should be when someone talks sense, not simply because they agree with your flawed logic. we lost in italy to two set pieces that were never free kicks in the first place. typical italians letting their ankles turn to chocolate as soon as they go anywhere near the 18 yard box. no flawed logic there. Italy are a bunch of cheating diving bastards. allways have been and always will be. Ill get yer coat. (if you havent got it on already:fish:) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Aside from Greece, Italy have probably been themost defensive team in the tournament. No loss to see them go home watching them against spain was like watching Rangers for most of last season. exactly the same tactics. So it begs the question, did walter copy the italians or did the italians copy walter? makes you think! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I can honestly say that I havent been happier to see a team get put out of a major tournament - they were an embarassment the way they played. I am actually glad it went to penalties - they wanted penalties from the off, got them and got put out. Good enough for them. BTW - my coat is in for dry cleaning, been wearing it far too often this year. Got fooking sunburnt this weekend with the weather being so hot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
