No argument of them being deserved winners

I just hate this bollocks, there's a art in winning freekicks etc, but its the screaming,crying etc that just pisses me off

I'd usually agree 100%

 

But there's something about the Italians showing they still have this kind of nous.

 

And they do.

 

It's a proper throwback performance, that.

 

And there's something quite endearing about it.

Top top shithousing here.

 

 

 

Agreed.

 

From the moment when that one fella came over to tell his mate to lay down instead of going off injured, this was a clinic in cheating. They'll show that final 15 minutes in Itallian coaching schools for decades.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

New levels of shithousery, welcome to international football.

Both. 

I can't understand links to Barella and  Berardi, but not Locatelli. He's the one that would cost around the price point we usually pay (35m) and he looks like a pretty complete midfielder. The links are bollocks anyway but still.

[Bjornebye]

It looked like when Belgium won the last corner Chiellini signalled to the Italian bench "its all over" thats how confident they are in defending. Unreal. Shameless shithouses but that was great.

Breaking news, half the Italian team will return positive covid tests in 3 days time after getting close and personal with spectators after the game!

Delighted for Vialli

Had a terrible last few years battling pancreatic cancer.

Got the all clear last year

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Monumental shithousery from Italy from about 85 minutes onwards. 

 

You love to see it!*

 

* £10 outright winners at 8/1

Fuck, their game against Spain on Tuesday will be like a fucking planking contest, won't it?

 

By the way, is that bigotry or just banter @Poster?

Banter, you are talking about two teams tactics not the entire fan set.

 

Surprised you needed clarification. Read this thread tomorrow for the bigotry.

[SasaS]

Shithouses to play the original shithouses in the semi.

[El Rojo]

Would love to see our Jurgen in a TV studio for a big international match like this as a once-off. He’d be immense. 

[Lee909]

They will really miss spinazzola if he is out

[m0e]

In many ways, that was almost the complete set of a football performance possible.

 

Tiki taka - check

Switching play - check

Long range efforts - check

Quick Counter attacks - check

High pressing - check

Geggenpressing - check

High line defending - check

Park the bus - check

Close the game out - check

Win at all costs - check

Shitehousery - check

 

Magnifico

[skend04]

If Spain had a half competent striker they'd be the favourites but the Italians have been head and shoulders the best team.

Just pulling chains, my man.

That Doku looks a rough diamond. Could become a top player.

If it was Renaldo or Fernandes at Anfield for the Mancs would you find it endearing ? Fucking good side but cheating bastards. Not needed and refs need to get on top of it.

I'm not sure why that matters. It wasn't Ronaldo or the Mancs at Anfield.

 

I wouldn't want us doing this, and I don't think we ever will.

 

But I loved it in a weird sort of way.

 

Kinda like I loved how Suarez went about his business.

Ha. The Italian Job. A comparison of English and Italian football. Players, managers, fans, coaching, conditions, etc.
