^so do I, but not nearly as much as I hate the italians.

I'll admit US outplayed Italy, but only because they looked like they didn't know how to react to the american all out attacking style of defence... losing Totti sucked ass too ... knowing his temper it was the smart thing to do to take him out. There was no rhythm to that game.... Italy will bounce back

hmmm.... I don´t want to say the Italian soccer players are weak... but everytime toni or Gilardino got the ball, they were attacked on their feet or pushed from on of those fuckers from behind... In my opinion everytime they got the ball they were also a bit afraid of getting fucking injured by one of those american fighters. It shouldn´t be an excuse for the tie, but I bet every team plays more carefully if the other team is called USA....
I seriously want to see how Ghana is going to react, or if the USA are playing as tough as against Italy

I think the Italians do too much fancy foot work instead of just focusing on getting the ball to the end of the field and winning the game...They are too into trying to look like hot shots on the field!...Still...VIVA ITALIA

sorry, you could have said this 4 years ago, but after all what happened in may this year and is still going on in Italy ( soccer scandal around that son of a bitch luciano moggi and it was his fault juventus won all the time... read:
http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/05/21/news/juve.php ), I am pretty sure Italians just want to regain credibility from international soccer federations...
they just care about getting far in the cup to put those awful stories aside...

They've always been chocked full of primadonnas and cry babies.

I'm a firm believer in A.B.I. (Anyone But Italy).

Nothing was sweeter than watching Baggio shank that penalty in the '94 cup against Brazil.

I lost all respect for Italy when they dismissed striker Ahn Jung Hwan from Italian Soccer for scoring the extra time goal, outjumping paoblo maldini to head in the goal in 2002.

Quote:

At the time, Ahn was on loan at Italian league side Perugia. His extra-time header dumped the three-time champions from the World Cup. The next day, Perugia owner Luciano Gaucci was quoted by the Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport as saying, "I am not going to pay the salary of a guy who has been the ruin of Italian soccer." Perugia later took back what they said, and offered to outright buy Ahn's contract, but Ahn rejected it saying "I will no longer discuss my transfer to Perugia, which attacked my character instead of congratulating me for a goal in the World Cup."

Very poor showing internationally for sportsmanship. Good team, but they think a little too highly of themselves to earn my respect.

^ this should be a really good match especially considering sweden has everything to lose. They should put it all on the line.

miss.myra · #**147** (**permalink**) Jun 19, 06

I'm excited England has a guaranteed spot, but I'm pumped for any chance to see them play for sure.

I know Sweden will put up a good fight, too!

EEP!

They better put Rooney in earlier this time around.

cubed · #**148** (**permalink**) Jun 19, 06

word is rooney will be starting the game against sweden.

personally I don't think it's that great of an idea.

why risk having him possibly re-injure it in a meaningless game?

yet another reason to question Eriksson's ability to properly coach the side.

miss.myra · #**149** (**permalink**) Jun 19, 06

See I didn't think so because he actually left Crouch on in the last game when he was performing poorly..
but i mean after screaming at the tv for awhile i kind of realized why and ate my words :P

cubed · #**150** (**permalink**) Jun 19, 06

The decision between keeping Crouch in and starting Rooney are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

Crouch has proven himself, the choice to keep him in was the right one, and I wouldn't have taken him out either. Hell he's the only bit of life I see on that squad.

As far as putting Rooney in to start this game, it's probably the poorest decision he could make.
