Secret Italian Training Video

Already getting the excuses ready I see. :rolleyes:

I heard the Italians have been promised a prada handbag each if they make it to the next round.

Is this for real?

Hey Vittorio I rolled my eyes when I saw your from the USA. Root for your home team, eurosnob

LOL… Good one!!!!

HAHAHA. Sorry, I root for the team I grew up watching with my nonno. Blood’s thicker than water, and you can only have one team.

yeah nice video….would have enjoyed it more if i weren’t an azzurri supporter…

lol yea i no if they win they are probaly butin each other a pair of fake chanel sunglasses lol xxxx

Pretty funny stuff. Would be funnier if it wasn’t true.

That is hilarious! It can’t be realy, but it’s still hilarious!

[...] 1. Elbowing 2. Reckless Tackling 3. Shirt Pulling 4. Time-wasting 5. Diving 6. Naughty behavior in the wall 7. Players wearing jewelry 8. Attitudes towards officials [...]

In support of the video (New York Times):
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/06/02/sports/playmagazine/factorama8.gif

They left out Arjen Robben on that list, Razzle.

I agree Mike. Vittorio should root for the country he is a citizen of. I have English blood in me but I don’t root for Beckham and the boys. I am still loyal to my country. That’s the problem with soccer fans in the US, it is not a yet culture here. In other countries(Argentina, Germany, and Italy) if you said something that it is almost considered blasphamy.

listen here. all you need to leave it alone cuz the only team that has a shot at the u.s. is busy shoping for handbags….. so just watch dempsy and the boys take it to the rest of them.. later

When your blood is as mixed up as most America’s sometimes you must follow your heart (or bandwagon) whichever is most sucessful…go BRAZIL!!!

And don’t forget, Nedved is pretty good at this crap too. Of course, playing for Juve, he must have been used to sympathetic refs and therefore more inclined to dive.

Which raises an interesting point. Because of the scandal, the Italians may feel that they’ll be judged more harshly by the refs than other teams, which might make them less inclined to dive.

That was a great video! ROFL:) Yes, I suppose it is not fair to the Italians so we will say it must have been the camp for Ortega, Rivaldo, Totti, and all of those other Olympic divers.

And yes, I am from the US but I am rooting for Brazil because that is where my dad is from, but I will root for the US too:) Hell, I will root for the team that plays the most entertaining game!

Too bad that video 1) is as old as the Internet itself, and 2) clearly doesn’t depict Italians, because the Azzurri don’t wear black kits.

Now as for rooting for the team of the country you’re a citizen of… I refuse to do so, because the U.S. takes FIFA rankings WAY too seriously.

Sorry, I come from a 100% Italian bloodline, so I root for the Azzurri. Don’t get me wrong – I love America enough to fight for it, but when it comes to soccer/football/calcio – I go back to my family’s roots… just like I do in the kitchen when it’s time to cook up some pasta.

Sounds as though Vin’s a bit defensive. As for the FIFA rankings, nobody takes them seriously because we all know that they are worthless. Well, everybody except for the media because they’re basically worthless.

The one good thing that comes out of these FIFA rankings is that it pisses off Europansies such as yourself. So as far as that goes, … it’s so fitting that we’re ranked above those diving bitches from Italy.

How many World Cups have the US won?

US Fans: Shut up.

How many Italian Prime Ministers were in office for more than 2 years since WWII? Probably just as many as the number of WC the US has won. Fact remains: the Italians are diving little bitches when it comes to soccer.

Just Google’d it: 8 of 37. Not bad. That’s an average tenure of 1 year 7 months. Kudos. You guys are the model of political stability.

What does political stability have to do with football? And why Mark, are you resorting to name-calling? If you can name me one football player who has not taken a dive at some point, then you have watched more of this game than anyone on the planet. And you root for the team you were raised with. Most of us who are in the US now who root for Italy, were brought up with the Azzurri. That allegiance doesn’t just change because you get older and learn about patriotism and nationalism.

I figured a question as irrelevant as Landons’ deserved an equally irrelevant question by me.

But Landon is the best US player ever to step on a pitch. How could anything he says be irrelevant? And what’s irrelevant about having won three world cups?

Enough with the pissing contest. Offer constructive comments or move on.

I sincerely hope the U.S. emerges as a soccer ( football ) power as that would be great for the game and our local leagues. To disrespect countries that have loved the game for decades and have built it into the most followed sport in the world is like school in the summer…..no class!! That fifa ranking will undoubtedly be a curse for the U.S. and the mid teen ranking for italy is a god send as they are very aware of it and determined to right that b.s. All the best to the Americans and Italians. I hope both teams advance as that would be what’s best for the game!!! P.S. that training video could be about any national team in the world. U.S. included. It is funny though!!!

I’m glad that traitor American-born (New Jersey) Rossi was left out from the Italian team… hope the US MNT never, ever, ever, never, ever, never takes this gumba…

Rick, I agreed, let’s offer more constructives comments than the ones given here by those American wannabes italians in this forum….

You know who you are… to all you; Vaffanculo!! you pazzo…

I Would just liek to make a comment .. firstly why mock the italian for … the founders of your country .. discoverd by an italian, named after an italian and the country is the way it is today because the italian created it .. wither from the maffia or the migrands .. so why diss them for .. secondly i think it will be funny when luca toni scores a 3 past the US and the finish bottom of the group coz there so bad hahahahahahahaha (although i do liek the US and would liek to see them go far, but its all the retard supporters taht meke me not liek them so much any more)

ohh and as some of you were pointing out about politics … let say this terroris started because of the US and coz there so greedy so dont dare tell me the us and the polititians taht run the country are so good .. coz if it wernt for the US osama wouldnt be bombing every danm nation

Marco, crawl back into your hole and tell Osama I said fuck off.

Woah! Calm down everyone.

That video was on YouTube and was posted here just becuase it was pretty funny. Nothing to get too serious about.

i know, guys!!!! lets kiss and make up

Italy is a third rate nation. Australia san suck dees nuts

my futbol buddies (from all over the world: turkish, bulgarian, japanese, korean, brazilian) have been telling me for years how the italians ruined soccer by introducing the flop. now, finally… evidence!

Another intelligent comment by Mark. Well done. In case you and jlb haven’t noticed most of the “american wannabe italians” posting here support the US. And the US would be lucky to have a forward of Rossi’s ability. He would already be their second forward behind McBride. There’s a reason Man U is willing to let van Nistelrooy go and it’s not the fantastic form of oft injured Louis Saha.

Paul: I know that the name “Mark” is fairly unusual in the US, but I’m willing to venture a guess that may be one or two more Marks out there reading WCB.

Good point Mark (you). You are 100% correct.

Thanks Paul. Wow, you responded to my post quickly. It’s like you are right here in my living room.

I was thinking the same thing, Mark.

what the hell does the USA know about football.. i mean soccer for those idiots that dont know its called football

You guys are all a disgrace to football. You US fans are mocking a team who are consistently competitive, winners of 3 World Cups, and are second favourites to win the World Cup this year to Brazil? Figures that a spoiled nation like yourselves are behind this while other footballing nations would show a little more class than this.

Grow up.

Mark, when it comes to football I wouldn’t be bragging and bitching about Italians if I were you. The US has been in how many World Cups…7? Their best performance was back in 1930. Italy has been to the WC 15 times, and has won it three times; they are truly a superpower. Italy has produced better soccer players than the US could ever dream of producing. Italy has by far the better domestic league. Italy is the country which is more passionate about the sport than you yanks are. Half of the people living in the US probably have no idea what on Earth the World Cup is. And the half that does know, are the immigrants that sneak into the US each year (I hear Bush is working on that). Regardless, you’re debating a fact (diving) which is so universal in the world of football and placing the blame of a single team is really stupid and ridiculous on your part. In reality you’re really frustrated at the Italians not because of their negativity but because of their success. So why don’t you go back to your living room, open a can of beer, let your beer belly pop out and enjoy what you yanks call “football”. Leave the real talk to the folks that have the knowledge when it comes to the real football. I’m annoyed to see the occasional smartass American trash talking traditional football sides just because your team managed to miraculously get past the group stage 4 years ago.

Ps- As I’ve seen what an arrogant yank you can be, I’m just going to point out that I’m not from Canada. So before you start out your response by bashing Canada (just like you did with Australia) think twice moron. I leave by saying STFU.

A few people hear forgot to take their medication.

Is it June 9th yet?

yeh that Mark guys a dickhead. you like america so much? yeh italians created your country. thank us for what your living in and how youre living because if it wasnt for us then you wouldnt be as lucky. even Zoo has proven that in a survey that the americans did back in 94, half of yanks interviewed didnt know the world cup was taking place in their nation! yeh you guys really understand football aye?! so before you start bitching about italians get all the facts.. and listen to the other people who have written in this forum.. youre a dickhead mark.

jealousy is an ugly thing!!

[...] I had the pleasure to talk with the gang from AOL Sportsbloggers Live on the eve of the World Cup. You can listen to the podcast here. In the interview we discussed the Peter Crouch robot dance, how Italy is practicing its flopping ahead of the World Cup, German dogs and United States players’ nicknames. We also talked a little bit about footy and the fact that people still listen to a band called Right Fred Said. No interview would be complete without the requisite mention of Brazilian women on video.

Its a Skoda (car) advert!

whoever posted this video is an idiot.To my knowledge there are no black players on the italian squad and that coach is not Marcello Lippi. So stop hating the Italians and dont post fake videos. If you look closely none of those players are Italian.

Mario,

No one is claiming that it’s actually the Italian squad. Surely you realise the video is a joke?

leading with straight soccer before it gets buried. what do you think, the italians straying dangerously close to “what have you done for me lately realm”? first two titles were in like 1930 and then 82. INFINITELY more storied tradition than us (if you can’t admit that you might also want to wipe your chin, you’re probably drooling), but the u.s. are the darkhorse team no one wants to face.

so um… most of new york knows the cup’s going on, that’s about the size of a european state– i mean, er… country.

as well, italians neither invented, nor created america any more than irish or the chinese or the blacks or, i don’t know–the native a-fucking-mericans (i tell ya, make a few lousy mob flicks and all of a sudden we have to do daily roll call of everytime an italian helped an old lady across a street) also, incidentally– wtf???… the u.s. didn’t “invent terrorism”. whoever coined the phrase “terrorism is the burden of empire” was talking about, gb in iraq a hundred years ago.

and lastly (sorry, but this was getting way out of hand) not only is serie a being gutted by a match fixing scandal (fine upstanding citizens, eh?) but fifa had to enact new zero tolerance rules for this cup specifically because the italians are a bunch of racist scumbags. anyways, let’s all get down off our high horses and enjoy the merriest time of year (or four)!

very important aspect of soccer is to create advantages in the pursuit of goals, I see no problem in teaching skills that lead to that end result. With that in mind getting caught cheating can cost you much. So take the risk if you feel its worth it. Everyone in the USA understands this. Its not a surprise that these tricks are a part of game and really are a art form that I feel is takes skill. Looking forward to seeing some very athlectic dives in the weeks of cup soccer to come. I really believe as the american side grows so will are ability to steal a result. As for now we will have to continue to play competitive soccer by the rules. Look out world

Hahahaha!!!

C’mon Mike… EuroSnob??? I’m half danish, and if Denmark was in the WM, i’d root for them over the US… the US hasn’t had good form lately… then agian Denmark didn’t make it. Just because someone is american doesn’t mean they have to support every american team

Like I said before its a commercial for a car, its funny as its supposed to be! The Italian team are notorius for diving so someone thought it would be funny to say it was them its a bit of light hearted fun no need for the agro. By the by, greed and ignorance made the US the country it is now and you cant pin that on any one group of immigrants….

OMG to bad this is soo true, Italy falls every single second someone even comes close to them. If Ghana had better aim there was no chance that Italia would have won that game

Italy is going far, actully They wont by pure skill as I recall that Ghanian player “DOVE” between the two italian players, you pathetic American’s are horrible the only reason your in the world cup is because you play teams like Honduras and Belize every competition. They should hold a competiton to see whos the worst team in the tourny. USA or Togo, It’s also sad that America’s best player plays in the MLS probily one of the worst leagues in the soccer world. “Beware” Beware of what America? Your defeat to the hands of the Chezch’s, Italy and Ghana you guys make me sick stick to Baseball

I ment to type “WON” not “won’t” it was a typo so chill

2 – 0, I NEED NOT SAY MORE!!!!!

Good luck against the Italians. They are gaining confidence with every game they play, and you will find yourselves watching a very tough match.

Yes we know we have this fame, but watch closely and you’ll see that’s nothing to do with the national italian team nor is any italian club, more an english or german club.
Anyway yesterday despite being not a very exciting game Italy won 2-0. Usa took 3-0 and back to bed…..
Goodbye

Silly people. Trying to make Italians look bad. 0H pleaze.

Clearly that is not the Italian team they don’t even wear black practice kits. Why must you disrespect a country. Grow up and We will just see when Italy defeats the u.s on saturday.

ciao…

FORZA ITALIA

I am an Azzurri fan who, like Vittorio, grew up watching and rooting for the “blues” with my nonno and papa. Since I have dual citizenship, I guess I could root for either team, but since “il calcio” is such a joke in the US, it’s hard to get enthusiastic about our team. To put it in baseball terms, why watch the Staten Island Yankees when you can watch the real deal?? Saturday will be a tough match b/w USA and Italia. US looked absolutely awful against the Chezch’s, but that makes them desperate for a win, and they should come out firing. However, the Azzurri are defensive masterminds with Cannavaro and Nesta being two of the best defenders in the world. Also working against the US is the Italians are playing a more offensive style these days under Lippi. The Ghana game could have easily been a blow out if not for some spectacular saves from the Ghanan goalie. Should be a great game though, but I predict a 3-1 Azzurri victory when it’s all said and done. Regarding the trash talk…not surprising to hear my insecure and defensive countrymen bad-mouthing anything that’s not “made in the USA”. No wonder 1/2 the world thinks we’re a bunch of foul-mouthed, arrogant bullies, given the way we treat others (especially when we invade your country!)

the US is playing soccer while the rest of the world is playing football.. =) and that my friends.. is the problem..
My suggestion: change soccer vs. football to football vs. american football =)

hahah this is so true. and its even funnier how last night my italian boss was talking about how nobody wants england to win because they are so whiny and cocky. completely oblivious

after reading all of these posts by people from the US, i’m ashamed of being born in this country. i see jealousy has poked its ugly head out before the world cup even started. USA cant even compete with 90% of the teams in the world cup, and if they do by some fat chance make it past the group rounds, then they’ll lose right away. They’ll just give you false hopes kind of like the islanders every year in the playoffs. and plus, italy doesnt have any niggers on their team so this video is probably a secret training video of the US.

hmmmm i don’t think so!!

Seems to me EVERYONE is very rude and should be ashamed! USA didn’t give Italy a win today and they put up a GREAT fight! I thought the game was great so everyone who is bashing the USA should give them more credit. We’re not eliminated yet!!

Italy didn’t give Italy a win! Not USA!

It’s not that USA didn’t give Italy the win.. It’s the Italians that didn’t give themselves the win because of the ‘own goal’
However, the bigger issue is the fact that USA have yet to score a goal in the 2006 World Cup…

In order to see the training of U.S. please watch wrestling.

US vs. ITALIA
Yeah, that was a rough match… if you were an American. True to form, the Italians flopped on each contact. Watch the match again in fast forward… each and every play where there was any contact there was an Italian player rolling around on the ground. Serious drama on Italy’s part. Stoping acting and play ball!!!

Y Griffiny expects no racism in this world cup or any usage of the phrases:

“every play”
“play ball”
“rooting for your team”
“diving little bitches when it comes to soccer.”
“End line”
“Quarterback role”
“Punt”
“That was never a sending off or that other one”
“Go USA”

Up the Iron!

Scunthorpe – Cultural utopia of Great Britain and home to the greatest football team the world has never seen.

C’mon England!

bleqqqq… they’re not italians but they are english people because they are so foolish and without the EGGS

The US would have beat Italy if the ref hadn’t been biased against the US. The two red cards on the US were completely bogus. I can’t beleive they were given red cards for slide tackling late. In other games players have done the same thing for other countries and yet no call. I hope the US gets to play Italy and beat them in a later round and play with a fair head ref!

Stop!

Will “nate” please come to the Y griffiny diary room regarding inappropriate use of the words
“bogus”
“call”
“slide tackling”
“Fair head ref”

Poor show old bean, what?

Or if you prefer contact “the_ref” on this messageboard.

http://boards.footymad.net/mboard/load.php?tno=460&fid=12&sty=2

He will put you in order regarding correct and proper use of Association football terms.

Thankyou all on behalf of Y Griffiny for your attention.

Carry on!

Inappropriate, are you kidding me, everyone with a brain who watched the game knewn the ref was pulling against the US. The first thing the anallists talked about after the game was how bad the refs were. Give me a break, even an Italian analyst said the refs were unfair to the US.

Inappropriate, Are you kidding me? Anyone with a brain who watched the game knew the ref was pulling against the US. The anallists after the game even said the refs were bad and ruined the game. Even an Italian analyst said the refs were unfair to the US!

i dont know why it posted 2 times… oh well

A post so good he posted it twice.

[...] I found a great video of the Italian team practicing for the World Cup.  It just really made me laugh. [...]

I think Italy is sweet. Mortal combat is my favourite game. I like it. When i get a finishing kill i think it is cool. I pwnN00bs takes it in the butt….and that canadian guy who says that mena is fag…is truly a big fag who fags it old school.

This is Association football at its finest.

http://www.freewebs.com/ygriffiny/ygriffinypath.htm

US sucks anyway

American morons

Sorry, was that racist? Forgot it was only ok to be racist towards Italians.

italians are the bigest jerks..

Why am I not surpirsed that the Italians, of all teams, would be the ones to practice diving. they should be careful though, Totti might injure his hair when practicing how two whine.

GO ENGLAND!!!

Wow, I can’t believe how racist the americans are…

Atleast we know there cheating bastards not, AUSTRALIA WERE CHEATED

Awesome video! Seems the only 2 things the Italians are good at are diving, crying and penalty kicks.

Poor Aussies! What a horrible way to get eliminated; by a wimpy Italian dive in the penalty box.

I vote to introduce a ‘Pink-Card’ penalty for wimpy divers:
1st Pink Card: 10 minutes off the field.
2nd Pink Card: Out of that game
3rd Pink Card: Out that game & Next.
4th Pink Card: Out of the tournament and forever have to wear a pink skirt when playing soccer/football.

See how well the Italians do with only 1 player on the field.

US & UK seems to hate italians ???

That type of hatred leads to either of two things:
Missing Plains
or
Missing Trains,

see you all on CNN at the next disaster…

ya you all hate the italians but the fact is they are amazing. and ive watched most of the WC, and almost 95% of ALL trips (regardless of what team) the players are what u see in this video. this goes to show soccer is a drama queen sport.

viva italia

“Why am I not surpirsed that the Italians, of all teams, would be the ones to practice diving. they should be careful though, Totti might injure his hair when practicing how two whine.
GO ENGLAND!!! ”

hahaha totti? how bout beckham? he is shit and highly over rated. beckham cares more about his appearance than anyone, let alone totti. how many world cups does england have? 1? italy has how many? 3? ya thought so. england had such an easy division compared to italy and italy still prevailed without allowing a goal. only italy can score on italy.

FORZA AZZURRI

I’m an American and think our team is a joke. Claudio should retire after acting like a little bitch when he got the ball stolen from him by Ghana and just layed there.1 goal in 3 games means you suck.Our Coach needs to go. They were lucky to tie my Azzuri. Americans suck at soccer, just a fact!

Go Italia

England has such an easy group.I cant wait until Brazil knocks them out and send them and their hooligans home.

What a bunch of cry babies the Aussie’s are. the knock the refs but yet the were given a gift by that English ref in the Croatian game. Funny how the Aussie’s have so many players with Italian and Croatian names. They need to stick to Kangaroo poaching. Go home Aussie’s!

bottom line is… the soccer pitch is not a swimming pool, so the italians can stop diving

uless the other team has prior warning to bring their bathing suits

Australia vs Italy – We was robbed!!!

Honestly I think the world was deprived of some brilliant entertaining soccer from the skilled and gifted Australians. They were truly Robbed by the ref!!!
They had such brilliant playmaking abilities, it was such a joy to watch. Too bad Italy wasn’t down a few more men maybe they could have scored a goal.

Oh well we now have the elimination of England to look forward to. It will be nice to see Portugal teach the English a thing or two about a thing or two.

I’d love to see what color beckham’s shoes are in the next game, or how he has his hair and makeup done. I’d also like to see what kind of sunglasses POSH spice is wearing and how low cut her shirt is. English Soccer…BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Remember when they lost to Cameroon ??
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

USA, England and Australia should be out waging wars and not playing soccer, leave that up to the rest of the world.

Mmmmm, war.

But in all seriousness, the Ities were one man down, we had 60% of ball possession and still couldn’t do anything with it. Fair Bump – Play On!

Robbed one bad call by that ump, but atleast we have shown the rest of the world Australia is a force to be reckoned with Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie!

LOL

Australia got Rorted. How much did Italy pay the ref?

Looks like Grosso learnt a thing or too there!
That was not a penalty!

Hope the Italians enjoyed the win and their freedom – by the time they get home they could all be locked up for match fixing anyway. Probably be very popular too in jail with all that long-hair and pretty boy looks.

P.S. “Training” video is from the Guardian Newspaper promoting Euro 2004.

To US Italian-

STFU, your country is a disgrace to the world!

Australia were robbed and thats that. I hope the Ref enjoys his all expenses paid trip to Italy after the world cup.

Lol

What a bunch of whingers. You can’t handle losing. Oz should’ve beaten Italy but weren’t good enough and they lost to a legit penalty and the yanks played ok but if you go round kicking people off the park you get what you deserve. Watch the game and understand the rules or go and have you own ‘world’ series!

ahhahaha, shut up all rosik
we ain’t like that, nedved was, but cya rep ceca
i use the kangaroo’s skin for wash my car DDDD

idd we pwn they suxed so stfu we played quite well half match in 10 vs 11 ( where were red card??? )

we won CLEARLY we pwn they

I think too many times there have been bad referee decisions that have decided the outcome of many games. So its just the luck of the draw. Thanks life .
Heaps of cards for time wasting and red cars for soft fouls and hardly any for simulation. I guess that plays right down the italians style of play. I wonder if they get snapped up into acting roles when they retire.

ITALY CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD !
Other nations can suck

Superb !!!

To my fellow Italian-Americans, and all Italians living around the globe:
Forgive their ignorance….They hate us, because they envy us.

World Cup 2006 Veni Vidi Vici
**Azzurri**

C’mon already. Even if it was a close call, there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY Mattarazzi should have gotten a Red card for his tackle. A foul, fine….but a red card….NO!

Ha! This all makes me chuckle.
Are Americans still bothered that their country is named after an Italian?!

“Fratelli D’Italia…”

Australians should stick to what they do best…ummm….wait a minute…what does Australia do? Um…OH YEAH…Rugby?

STOP WHINING…Italy should have NEVER been in the position to win with a goal anyway…The ASSIES were given the gift of a red card and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with it.

FORZA AZZURI!!!

idd tbh!

Where have all the racist
anti-Italian pigs gone to now that Italy has beaten the Australians ?

To all the south americans bashing Italy, don’t forget we Italians are much like you, except we have jobs…

If nothing else WC ‘06 has proven that racism is alive and well …. I didn’t realize the extent of hatred and disrespect many Americans harbor toward Italy, my country of heritage. I wonder why my grandfathers, fathers, and uncles all risked their lives fighting wars for Uncle Sam. Hopefully my sons and nephews won’t be subjected to this vitriol in twenty years.
Ci Andiamo Azzurri…..:-)!

what a disgrace the italians are… a sad excuse for a soccer team and a said excuse for human beings.. we should have known the filthy filthy wogs would find away to rort us..just like they rort their way into our country.. UP THE AUSSIES..WE WERE ROBBED

what an absolute joke. all wogs are dirty, hairy, filthy sad excuses for human beings. W.O.G.S= Waste Of Good Space.. australia should have known the filthy wogs would find away to rort us, just like they find away to rort their way into our country. UP THE AUSSIES.. HEAD UP WE WERE ROBBED

It’s amazing how acceptable this anti-Italian racism is too.

John Smith, where the FUCK do you think your ancestors came from? Are you an Aboriginal? Smith doesn’t sound Aboriginal to me, therefore you’ve come from somewhere yourself. Wogs are a Waste of Good Space? Oh yes and the Anglo Aussies gave a beautiful example of multiculturalism in the Cronulla riots of Dec 2005! PLEASE!!!

Of the whole Socceroos team, how many are WOGS, you fuckwit? More than 3/4!!! How about this dickhead… how about you go back to your cricket and us Aussie wogs can continue on with our FUDBAL! Pig!

For the record, Italians in the looks dept are attractive, but as for our Socceroos losing to the Azzurri in the WC, it’s fucked, it was wrong, and a big pat on the back to Italia for champion diving!

I don’t particularly care for Italy or Australia, but Italy deserves particular contempt for the way cheating is a core part of their sporting ethos. The way the fans think all that diving and faking injury is acceptable behaviour also shows clearly the true colours of Italy – dishonour, dishonesty, cowardice. As shown by their match fixing scandal too. History showed it in WW2 also. Australians may have many faults, but they’re generally an honourable lot compared to those greasy wops.

Our time will come….and John,USA, who do you think your Grandfather/Father faught in that war?? Italy maybe??

Mark Dee, what are these “faults” Aussies have? Ahh l know, being better at every sport that yous POMS have invented.

What do Italians and Americans have.

Australia, the lucky country. All you Italian Americans: If Italy is that great then why dont you live there. Soccer is for pussys anyway. And yes america, we are smashing you in every sport. Our Footy is tougher then yours, your tennis players are wimps, and your swimmers just suck. Our women are more beautiful then yours and our men are men not poofs.

Italians, just sip your latte while you live off teh government.

Americans, why dont you start another war and leave us alone

Ahh we were robbed. This is all i can say I’m sorry. To all the Italians and Canadians having a go at us just look at yourselves.. Soccer is fast becoming a sport with a bad non-sportsmanlike culture of taking dives and it is killing world sport. Be ashamed of yourselves Italy, for not being able to win fair and square.

hahaha so damn tru! wat a bunch of retards!

wat a bunch of girls fair dinkum that italian team i got 1 word SHEELAZ!!!! the whole lot of them they must feel real good with themselves sleepin at night knowing they beat an underdog aussie team by falling ova on purpose……oh but they probly did that on purpose because thats how bad there team is!!

i agree with bob andthe rest of the aussies. Italy cant play football for shit.. if u italian dud’s think you will get far in the world cup agaisnt the other teams.. good luck and train hard with ur diving tranings.. srzly…

hope Ukraine fuks u italians over and chop all u italians.. then u can chuck a dive and have a cry..

italians r the biggest cheats!!!!! i hope they get smashed next game and they probly will…they are a disgrace to the game and are bringing the games reputation as a sissy game for wingers aussies eva get penalties because we are tough and hacnk a knock or two but not the wogs!!!!

Seems like the 95th minute of Australia vs Italy

Should have been a red card.

fuck u italians suck my balls you hairy bastards… you deserve to die, australia is coming up in world soccer and they just showed it

Italy are cheats. The video looks lik Fabio Grosso clones all together.

The Italians are very good at 2 things. Fixing club games for betting purposes and DIVING. They make Greg Loganis look like an amateur. FKEN CHEATS

what an absolute joke.. the italians are filthy, hairy, dirty sad excuses for human beings. W.O.G.S= Watse Of Good Space… australia should have known the filthy wogs would find away to rort us just like they find away to rort their way into our country. UP THE AUSSIES.

dont worry its about the only thing italy is good at.. australia is good at a number oF sports
RUGBY UNION (2nd best in world)
surfing(best)
rugby league (best)
netball (2nd best)
swimming (2nd best)

there a shitload more
and italy are good at one thing and they are hardly good at that, ohh make it two things they go alright in DIVING

all the history your country holds and all the things you are famous for you have ruined and disgraced, i spit on you scum!!!

fuck u italians you have nothing and your shielas are ugly hairy lowies

LOL it’s funny because it’s true! Only Grosso did not dive, the referee just ruined it all for Australia.. I hope Italy gets punished by Ukraine!

John Smith, where the FUCK do you think your ancestors came from? Are you an Aboriginal? Wogs are a Waste of Good Space? Oh yes and the Anglo Aussies gave a beautiful example of multiculturalism in the Cronulla riots of Dec 2005! PLEASE!!!

Of the whole Socceroos team, how many are WOGS, you fuckwit? More than 3/4!!! How about this dickhead… how about you go back to your cricket and us Aussie wogs can continue on with our FUDBAL! Pig!

For the record, Italians in the looks dept are attractive, but as for our Socceroos losing to the Azzurri in the WC, it’s fucked, it was wrong, and a big pat on the back to Italia for champion diving!

“Australians should stick to what they do best…ummm….wait a minute…what does Australia do? Um…OH YEAH…Rugby?”

Rugby, swimming, tennis, cricket…

What do Americans do best?
1) Brag pointlessly
2) Ask dumb arse questions
3) Find excuses to bomb countries
4) Brag pointlessly
5) Further enhance terrorism. Good one, Mr Bush!

George W. Bush. LMFAO what a joke of a person!

USA are out, thank god.

no more winging, from you guys.

Aussie Aussie Aussie

Out Out Out
When i say Aussie you Say Out
Out Out

The video is from Euro 2004 – it is a commercial. The ending is cut off.

Apparently Australia has no shortage of skin head Nazis. The former Penal Colony sounds like a fantastic place to visit!

P.S. Italy even kicks your smelly Kangaroo butts in overall Olympic Medals…yes, including summer sports. Ouch.

I wonder how Grella, Aloisi & Bresciano feel about wearing that ‘Roos uniform when reading these comments?

As an aussie i apologise for the racist behavior of some of the redneck funboys that call themselves australian that have been posting here. theres always someone who was abused as a child and takes it out on someone else (in this case italy).

Leave your racism at home in the shire, and take out your frustrations at the next national party rally.

Re: the game, Australia played well and dominated play. we seemed a little inexperienced in the dying minutes and i think the ref wanted a result. the incident should not have been awarded with a penalty kick according to FIFA’s rules. the ref got it plainly wrong, it should have been an indirect free kick if it was a foul at all, but we all know it was a dive.

Italy are happy because they were ‘robbed’ at the last world cup by S.Korea. Its really sad that they are proponents of diving, the thing that is spoiling the beautiful game of football.

JS.

[...] You critics can say that football is stupid, but I think it’s a game of great skill and talent. This blog looks forward to Italy putting up yet another great act show performance throughout the rest of the World Cup, after which they can fullly concentrate their efforts in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympic dive events. If they can continue maintain their current form, it’s definitely looking like an easy Gold. [...]

Wow, I can see from the above that there are some very sophisticated people living in Australia.

Conclusion:
Australia = Iowa.

I’ll be sure to visit both of those wonderful, culturally vibrant places….

I cant wait for the Ukraine Italy match!!

I’m not going to cheer for Ukraine, Im going to Boo the Italians!!

=D

Go England, Go Germany, F the rest of you.

I have to congradulate the Aussies even if u didnt win. But u amercains , im even surprised u got into a group. U never would have gone into the 8th of finals. And to u Dano im stick a fucking soccer ball up ure ass when italia wins against the ukraine on friday

Forza ITALIA

I saw this video as an advert for the guardian newspaper in the uk.
http://www.visit4info.com/details.cfm?adid=33825

yepyep. like any others wouldn’t do that.
you’re just blaming italians because they are the best! no question about that

Disgraceful wimpy Italians!

Australia’s gift to the world is crocodile dundee and they probably think that is something to be proud of.

Italy 1
Australia 0

Australia, nice country…

These guys have been carrying handbags for a long time !

Wow some really ugly and stupid people live in Australia

WELL DONE to the players on both sides (Australia and Italy) that played honestly and with the heart of a true sportsman! As an Australian supporter, I was naturally disappointed with the results and the decision by the referee and the act of one player!(had a good cry and punching session!!)

But I’m really surprised and amused with the comments I have read – just because of a couple of individuals that decide to act unfairly in the game. We have become vicious and ugly towards certain races!! Remember The World Cup is a time when we forget our differences ei. race/background, religion, social standing and come together as one with the same passion and heart!! Lets not have some selfish individual ruin this for us.
I play soccer amongst friends – we have a team that we proudly consider an Australian based Sydney team. Guess what – our players consists of at least one european, asian, african and mixed race..and thats the beauty of it!

Enjoy the video – have a good laugh and lets continue supporting our teams with passion!

I love the game of Soccer but it will never get full recognition in Australia until Soccer’s “wimpy” image is fixed. I can’t imagine a Rugby player going down and holding his face in his hands because someone tapped him on the ankle. Aussie’s just hate the drama queen tactics that many of the international soccer teams use (it’s not just the Italians). FIFA (and their inept refs) are the one’s to blame for not dealing with the problem. What the World Cup needs(and also at other levels of Soccer)is a tribunal system that uses post-match video evidence to reprimand, fine or suspend players who take a dive or commit serious fouls. This might not effect the outcome of a match but over time it will stamp out practices that are ruining the sport. In addition to the practice of “taking dives”, FIFA also needs to clamp down on “professional fouls” in front of goal and also disallow the practice of “obstructing your opponent from the ball as it goes over the side-line or goal-line”.

Frankly after some of the opinions posted by you Australians, I don’t think it matters if soccer gets any recognition in Australia.

It looks like the only thing getting recognition in Australia is the Klu Klux Klan and other racist organizations.
Remind me never, ever to visit Australia…

fuckjing bring it cunts.. soccer is for fags anyway look you guys are pussies play a real sport like rugby league…. Australia has 20mill people and we will still kick your asses in more sports than any of you fuckwits….COME CRONULLA CUNT!!!!!

wanan go cunt.. arch up dont let fear hold you back you bitch

HAHAHHAA NICE LADS!!! SHOW THEE WIMPS DAT WERE NOT PUSSYS AUZZIES WILL KICK ANY COUNTRIES ASS IN TOUGHNESS U GIRLS AUZZIES STICK TOGETHER AND SHOW EM WE WHOSE BOSS!!!

America is the most hated country on the planet. George Boooosh is a stupid stupid fuckwit as are a great many amurigans who follow & support his disgraceful international policy. GET THE FUCK OUT OF IRAQ! Dirty war-mongering anericans.

man i didnt think italy wud be this dirty lol well i gess we all gotta hav sum sort of weakness….i think

did Crocodile Dundee play rugby ?

Crocodile Dundee sure did play rugby, whats you point?

funny i dont remember a black male being on the italian team :S

I never realized what Australia is actually like. Some of you may find this interesting.

http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/1175.htm

funny clip:)
kayoz, we haven’t black players on the italian team but next years they could because several immigrants are becoming italian citizens. What’s the problem? Have you ever seen our soccer clubs? Few Italians and a lot of strangers. I’m sorry to read comments against italians without sense…those hatred words. I’m sorry for Australian fans but what we can do? The ref took bad decisions: a nonexistent red card and a nonexistent penalty. We were 10 players and the Socceroos didn’t pick that moment! Grosso found himself in front of an unexpected obstacle and fell and the Ref should understand what really was happening.

piss off italian u toss, go grease ur hair mate

The main problem with the Americans, as I see it, is that they don’t see it as a true world championship. Why ? Because there are teams from other countries in it.

Just look at Ice hockey, Grid iron and Baseball all US world champions er………… but of course only US teams allowed.

Ok. First of all, can we all just calm down and stop insulting each other. You sound like a bunch of young kids in a playground.
I watched the Australia/Italy match, and yes, I am an Australian supporter. So of course when Luis Medina Cantalejo or whatever his name was gave that penalty to Italy in the 93rd minute, i was screaming abuse at him along with everyone else. However, everyone saying that “that ref is blind, that wasn’t a penalty, italy are diving girls” well sorry guys, but it’s not going to change the result of the match. yes, maybe the penalty was dubious (grosso could have easily stayed on his feet if he wanted to) but unfortunately its part of the game, and he did what thousands of soccer players would do (fell over, because he knew it would mean a penalty)and he actually succeeded in setting up the win for his team. So bad luck to the aussies, but they did us proud. We shouldnt insult the Italians, that doesnt help at all (apart from straining foreign relations). TO be fair, the sending-off of marco materazzi was clearly not a red card, so Australia probably should have capitalised on Italy having one less player.It’s stupid to criticise any team in the World Cup: Italy, Australia, America or England among them, because they are all good teams in their own right. and we can look forward to the 2010 world cup where we will see our national teams in action again.
Can I just finish by saying that a lot of the time, people insult other people (or their teams) because they feel insecure about themselves (or their team). So think about that before you go and insult someone you dont even know.

peace,
rDOC

Oh and by the way, don’t mistake me for an american (:() for those of you who said that americans are shit at soccer, i’d take a look at this video first. Yes, some of them are obviously not born in America, but some are. Enjoy.

I agree with your sentiments but………… Monkeys can be taught to do tricks with a football doesn’t mean they can play the game.

I mean no disrespect to anyone but until both the US and Australia have domestic leagues to the calibre of the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France etc their national teams will continue to fail to win the world cup.

A prada handbag? Haha, the Americans were promised fan support. Those aren’t even the Italians, they train in white and blue. Great group stage knock out USA.

America sucks. I wish i could go back to Europe where i belong. Oh yeah and why doesn’t everyone just STOP FIGHTING please. It’s just sports…it’s nothing important to fight about. If you’re gonna fight, fight about something worthwhile.

any sport that doesn’t severely punish a pathetic act such as diving like what I’ve seen in the WC is a joke, when I watch hockey and a guy dives he gets a 2 minute minor. As a fan of hockey its well known europians are wimps who dive all the time because they can’t compete physically. Seems like a lack of integrity and sportsamn ship. Its only when team canada has a crappy coach (Pat Quinn) that they don;t win. This is the reason football/soccer isn’t big in North America, we don’t respect these players because of these pathetic displays of no class

And lets not lose sight here of the point in all this, its not about allegiance, its about bringing some respect to a game you supposedly love, but if people loved it as much as they carry on then they would not be disrespecting it by acting like a bunch of fragile cotton puffs who get blown over if the wind changes, they would play hard and when the get knocked down they would get back up and chase the ball, thats why hockey and football are sao big in the N.A., again, we respect the players because of their heart and integrity when it comes to playing

And, finally, about the europians are wimps who can’t compete physically…. have you watched the world juniors, it was a massacare the last few years because the europian teams couldn’t handle the aggresive play. I’m not bashing europians, I’m just stating a fact thats well known, ask any analyst.

Chris’s attitude toward Europeans doesn’t speak for all Canadians.
Some of us surely know that a European team is currently in posession of the Gold in hockey.

And some of us have seen the actions of Todd Bertuzzi and do not consider that respectable at all.

To all you jealous cannucks…
where is your national team?

portugal dives more than italy

We don’t have one.
Soccer is not our sport and we are not too ashamed to admit it, unlike you arrogant pigs.

Yes, the Canadian National team is rather good. They missed the WC ‘06 by one game.

Beat a couple of good european nat teams (friendly matches).

I was just “trash-talking”

You guys own Bobby Orr… the greatest hockey player of all time. (You can tell I am from Boston!

The soccer development in the US is taking off. Mnay leagues in place. Beckham has a camp in LA. USL is growing.
We are building and building.
Watch out world
Here we come

The first thing that the USA, Australia and Canada must do in order to improve its soccer program is get rid of all of the English people that are dominating and controlling the soccer programs in those countries. If you are content to play English style soccer than be content to never, ever win a world cup or in our case even qualify.Perhaps games other than English Premiership league soccer can be televised to show the citizens of the new world that English Soccer is not the ONLY brand of soccer there is. In fact it’s the worst brand of soccer there is.

If hockey players did dive, how far would they slide?

YAAAHHHHH,
Bye Bye England.
Bye Bye !!!

Portugal 1
England 0

Nice Country England…

England Gone
Usa Gone
Australia Gone
The WASP is finished.

Time to watch some real soccer…

All europian teams

Alex THANK YOU.

You yanks and aussies you are just a bunch of jealous cretins. Stick to your baseball and cricket. Good riddance to England too. I was jumping up and down with joy when I saw your lot crying their little eyes out on going out to the Portuguese. Everyone dives or do some of you magically go blind when other teams dive. Give me a gorgeous italian or two any day of the week. Jealous the lot of you. VIVA L ITALIA, VIVA GLI AZZURRI….AZZURRI FOR THE WORLD CUP. Bunch of wingers (and racists).
PS Italians aren’t smelly (someone said it) I should know – I take the tube into London every day and its the english who stink to high hell. The shower in their bathroom is just for show.

Now that we have sorted out the boys from the men let the real football begin.

In answer to some of you above where is South America, where is the US, where is Australia….bimbos the lot of them….and all packed off home. Yessssssssssssssssss

you americans arent very birght are you??? When was the last time you saw black guys playing the italian soccer team. Look in the footage their is like 3 black guys

andy,

no one thinks this is real, the video is a joke and originally a commercial.

we all know italian football is boring and full of cheats not to mention their disgusting hooligan supporters(juve were at fault in 85 not liverpool)the sooner they get knocked out the better for the wc in general.GO LES BLEUS!!!!

AND GO GERMANY.WE LOVE YA

AND ANOTHER THING THE ITIE LEAGUE IS TOTAL SHIT,THE PREMIERSHIP IS BY FAAAAAAR THE BEST IN THE WORLD JUST ASK SHEVA.GOOD LUCK JUVENTUS MILAN ETC IN UR 2ND DIVISION WHERE YOU BELONG WITH UR F….. CORRUPT LEADERS

MAN UTD RUUUUUULE

Anyone who falls for this clip as the truth needs their head checked. Firstly, the coach is not Marcello Lippi- the real Italian coach. And secondly, there are no black players in the Italian team. This is total nonsense! I would hate to say it but I’ve seen many teams in this World Cup play less sportsmanlike than the Italians. Other than De Rossi’s pathetic elbow effort against the U.S, I haven’t seen them play rough or dramatic. During the Ukraine game, they didn’t even give away one yellow card. Watch some of the other teams before engaging in cultural stereotypes which have no validity. The Italians have, as always, played defensively brilliant. The criticism is coming from those who are jealous of their efforts.

And David Smith, whoever you are?? Your comments are among the most moronic that I have ever read. Don’t blame the World for making you so plain and boring. ‘Italian sheilas are ugly’, is what you said. I think you need to go pay Italy a visit and you’ll see something that you don’t see in Cronulla, you redneck! As Craig Foster (a true blue Aussie supporter) said on SBS last night:

“Italy and Australia could still be playing and the Australians wouldn’t have found a way to break down their defence”.

Anyone who understands the sport of soccer knows that Foster’s comment is truer than this false video clip (above). And all the people who say Australia were robbed are letting their emotion blind their logic. The fact is- Italy had an unwarranted send-off, played with ten men for 40 minutes and still managed more shots on goal. The Aussie (who were great all World Cup) never looked dangerous. They may have had lots of ball possession in the second half because of the extra man but they didn’t utilize it properly.

AND IF YOU KEEP CALLING FOOTBALL SOCCER THEN YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE A RIGHT TO COMMENT ON THIS SITE

I’m italian and i have to say that i am ashames of my country.why do we always have to cheat to win a football match whether it is a club game or world cup?i supporta france from now on

WHY A YOU A TAKE A MA MESAGE OFF THE SITE,I SAY AGAINA I AM FROM ITALIA BUT WE ALWAYSA CHEATA YA WE CANNA NOTA MAKEA GOOD PISSA,IMEAN PIZZAA OR WHETEVER THE FUCKa u call it ya

Wow what a hangover !!!

We all partied last night in celebration of Englands loss.

It was a special chance for me to wear my “F()ck the English” t-shirt.

at least we got there matey,where the fuck has canada been all this time?too busy chopping down trees

Come on you Aussies! Take it like the men you are! Stop all the crybaby wining and face the facts: You had 60 percent ball possession and Italy was a man down, yet you still couldn’t get the ball through!

Even without the red card you probably wouldn’t have won, Italy’s defense was simply too compact.

The fact that you lost to a penalty kick was lucky for you: At least you have an excuse!

I’d like to say… long live the great sport of Squash. What a dynamic game full of excitment

And another little thing. From reading the above comments i’ve determined that:

1) No one likes the Americans (except for american)
2) Aussies are racist
3) Canada loves the fact that they are better at hockey then the yanks
4) Aussies are racist!!!
5) The Poms (and i hate saying this) are the most reasonable of us all.
and finally 6) That clip is a dead set porkie pie (fake)

Long live multicultualism!!

look i am an england supporter,followed them to all the major championships for the last 20 years but to me the best part has always been the many many wonderful friends i have made from ALL countries taking part.remember this is not a war,it is only a game no more no less so please please please keep it that way otherwise we’ll all end up hating each other for no other reason other than who wins and who loses a football game

oh and as for adios,he doesn’t represent me or the thousands of incredible england fans i’ve had the absolute pleasure of being with these past few weeks in germany(by the way once again thankyou to all the fabulous kind friendly people all over germany for making us all so welcome,YOU ARE THE BEST)ADIOS ADIOS!!!

That video was a bunch of English fat asses in black soccer uniforms. I think I saw a black person in that video and I’m afraid the Italian team only allows native players and there are no black or african players in the premiere Italian leagues so nice try haters.

For all of you sore loser AUSSIES that are all butthurt about losing to the powerhouse Italians over a penalty kick..let me just say this. Your team was not good enough to compete at this level (not sure how you made it to the quarterfinals anyways).

People I am american and I have served my country but face it Italy invented this sport. Just like we found America, named it and built it!!!!not to mention we hold powerful jobs in the US like judges and soforth. We are a fair and gladiator type competitors. Remember the collosseum that is still standing? Yes, its in Rome because our genes are programmed to fight to death. The passion we bring to this sport is passed on in the blood the same way.
Ahhhhh…i can keep going but do i really need to?
Italy has perfected cars (Ferrari) ummm lets see food (pizza, Italian cusine) and ofcourse soccer/futball(been to the world cup way more than Australia or US so stfu and stfd).
Get some experience and quit crying because your team fouled to tie or fouled and lost. In this sport you foul, you get punished. Learn the sport and play fair before you cry “diving.”
Diving is an excuse of all the countries that lost to Italy because they are just not good enough. I recall more dives and theatrics in the other matches with the less experienced countries looking for help from the ref because they are tired and defeated…I have seen all of the games and Italy is just the best so far. Bye Bye Brazil!
You just made it easy for Italy to take this cup for the 4th time.
Italy has a strong defense and they can attack as well. I have seen more diving from the less talented teams but yet Italy is being called divers? Pfffft little children that cry “cheaters” are just mad that they cannot advance. Go home and play Rugby and US go home and play NFL and stick to your own sport.

Germany will only make it to finals if they are lucky enough to score a goal against Italy’s unstoppable defense. If Italy scores first then Germany will cry “diving cheats” too. Just wait for all the riots and fights when they lose. This is common among nazi fans to be sore losers and get drunk and disrupt the public over a game. Its ok because its human nature to cry “chea”t when you just plain suck. I am called a cheat on the internet all the time because I play video games better than most people playing against me. Same situation here…jealousy leads to childish name calling. Italy is a way better team and has not been defeated in the last 23 games because they can play defense very well and they know how to control the ball. These accompolishment cannot be possible from “diving all the time” so shutup you cry babies.

Italy is in the semifinal because they owned the Ukraine 3-0. I guess Luca Toni was diving when he scored 2 of the 3 goals right??? yeah he dove the ball right into the back of the net hahhaha.
Italia will be world cup champions 2006 Enough Said.

HEY MIKE.JUST ONE THING……….FUCK OFF.STICK TO YOUR PATHETIC YANKEE GAY FOOTBALL(FOOTBALL?)ROUNDERS N WHATEVER OTHER SHITE GAMES YOU AND ONLY UR LOT DREAM UP THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD COULDN’T GIVE A TOSS ABOUT.BY THE WAY GET OUT OF IRAQ N LEAVE THE HARD WORK TO THE BRITISH BEST MILITARY TRAINED FORCES IN THE WORLD

Mike, Italians are fag! Next time, make sure your message makes at least some sense. Italians have perfected crap

steve,

best military? omfg now that’s funny lol. I remember training brits when I was in the military. HaHa they needed all the help they could get because they didnt know how to change their underwear.
I don’t know ifTony Blair told you Steve but its the US leading this campaign so go get me a beer and a glass of shut the f**k up!! You take orders from me and you can address me by Sir Kthnkx.

RB,
I am sorry you can’t understand my post but I am educated unlike your retarded a$$. Try to pick up a book and learn English so I can make sense in the future.

Italians are gladiators and u need to sit down because Italy gave US a big gift by making an ‘own goal’ to make US feel like they had a chance….hahaha Even with the gift from ITaly US went on to lose and placed bottom of the group…just sad that they couldn’t even get out of the group against Ghana.

The US has no place in this sport and also no room to talk so can I get you a chair? Pffftt Sit donw kid.

pizza was invented by the chinnese dumb-ass

it was brought over to italy, and all the friggin teams dive, thats why its such a pathetic sport, no integrity

And wasn’t this whole blog about diving, is anyone gonna try and deny the overly dramatic and frequent acounts of that, people are not that weak. Has there been one game without the occurance of diving? Not that I’ve seen, is anyone gonna address this or are you blinded by stupid loyalities. btw, like chris Rock says, if you just blindly side with one side not matter what they do your an asshole, if your team is diving who cares if so-n-so does it more, your teams still disgracing itself.

btw mike you retard
The french have the best cooking since they almost always win competitions (know what an M.O.F. is?) and the japanese make the best cars according to every rating I’ve seen

I can’t believe what I’ve read here. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Big time.

Take a moment to look at yourselves and your actions. It’s a GAME for god’s sake. Is this how you represent your country? By cussing out the other nation and disrespecting the sport? If you lost, why can’t you be graceful about it?

You should ALL be very, very, VERY, ashamed.

well said dan,your the type of supporter who is loved the world over cause it is only a game,a great game at that(when it’s played in the true spirit altough i hate to say it but portugal as far as football is concerned have let themselves down very badly and football is tarnished because of it,some of their antics on the pitch have been the worst i’ve experienced in all the years i’ve watched football,sad but totally disgraceful)but to take it for more than what it is,a sport then try to twist it into a battle is dangerous in the extreme.leave that to islamic fundamentalists cause we don’t wanna sink to their level RIGHT?

NOT BAD ITLAY,NOT BAD AT ALL

Yeah, I-tellyins are so good that in the second world war their entire army was wiped out in two weeks. Come on the yanks and the Brits\Aussies to win the war and save Europe. This ensured football as you know it lived on for everyone.

Who’s the dork who wrote that shit about Italian politics, what a loser !!

As for the brits/yanks & Aussies who apparently saved the world in WWII You won the war, but your bullshit will cause the end of the world.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa built on sh!tty soil and the result of poor planning & engineering will last centuries longer than the WT towers or any other American monument because the world doesn’t hate Italians, it hates the RACIST crap that comes out of the mouths of you Brits,Aussies and Yankees.

Pray that your mighty Armies can defend your countries from their own poeple.

[...] But after today’s game, I just don’t know if I can watch anymore. It was bad enough to see the Germans lose, since I was pulling for them. But to see them lose to the Italians! It was more than I could bear. Have you seen the Italian soccer team’s strategy? When the play isn’t going your way, take a dive and roll on the ground crying like a baby until you get the call. They should be ashamed of themselves. [...]

oi every1 that sees this whether from america, australia, czechslovakia go hava cry coz u wish yaz were all good at soccer liek the italians…u cnat stop us cnat pass our defence and if u do pass our defence u cant pass our almity keeper buffon…so stop having a cry we kikked all ur asses fair and square and btw that video is shit coz its not the italians squad theres a black guy in the squad and italy dont have any blak bloke in their squad so stfu with the iscoses and we’ll see you next world cup…btw incase yaz havnt noticed we’re in the grand final sooo suk on that biatches….

why don’t you comment on del piero’s goal, or pirlo’s magic pass?!

When the Italians parade in your cities I will go and watch wearing my “F()ck The English” t-shirt.

Good job Italy.

Italiens are in the final like Bush beat Gore, who cares if you have to cheat right (and start spelling right people, dammit!)

I think its because of their shitty dentistry me mate

chris,one word fuck off cause you really seem to absolutley FA about football,STICK TO UR GIRLY ROUNDERS GAME WHICH WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CAUSE YOU REALLY ARE IGNORANT ABOUT OUR GAME

CHRIS,ARE YOU FOR REAL?YOUR COMMENTS ARE SO IMMATURE AND PATHETIC IT NEED WARRANT NO REAL REPLY

AND WOW WHOEVER YOU ARE,YOUR JUST JEALOUS

i was just womdering and i’ll put this to the forum cause i’d like to know the answer.what team sport has canada achieved great things on a world level and indeed for that matter the US?any takers?!

this dosnt even look liek the italian team though.

your right,not enough oil in the hair!

Ok bunch of losers aussies, english, americans and the list goes on…..(Pete, Andrea (not an Italian for sure) Steve RB etc etc) so you a bunch of wankers…..all you can talk about is how shit the italian are, how smelly they are and how shit is their country/politics…so why don’t you all get out of italy and fuck off to your own (racist) countries and leave us alone. Piss off and good riddance. If anyone saw tonight’s game France against Portugal then you will have seen what a real dive is like…ask Ronaldo…oh not THAT Ronaldo, but the one who plays for Portugal (I know some of you are dickwits so had to explain). We’ll see all you jealous, ignorant war talking idiots on sunday in Berlin then!
FORZA AZZURRI.

How does the saying go…he who laughs last laughs the longest…Italians must be laughing all the way to Berlin then. Ah for the idiots amongst you that means that for all your shite and idiotic messages Italy is in the final and deservedly so…played the best game of the tournament last night and even Klinnsman admitted it. You idiots aussies and americans that lost to out to Italy should be PROUD to have been kicked out by such a famtastic team.

Munnijuurikad on itaallased!
Kui tahate näidelda, siis selleks on juba hallidest aegadest spets koht olemas – minge teatrisse tööle!!! tõmmake kostüümid seal selga, mitte palliplatsil. aga no krt! jalgpalliks olen mina igatahes pidanud üht spordiala, mitte teatrilava, kus iga mees viskab end suvalisel ajahetkel siruli ja teeskleb, et tal on nuga seljas või jalg otsast rebitud või kõht verine. PERSSE KÜLL!!! See pole sport. Nahhui küll! itaallased mai äässs! või no kes krt on reeglid teinud, et niimoodi käibki pallimäng? no ei käi, plääd!!!

Was that an Englishman who commented about Italians having shitty dentistry ???

I had to read it 3 or 4 times before I believed it.

ahhhhh PINGBACK or could that be PIGGYBACK or just PIGGY you feeling bad about all those losers in the English team…what were you saying England will win the cup for sure, its our year, the cup is ours, our boys are heroes…ha ha ha what a bloody laugh. Came home with your tails between your legs you did. You deserve Eriksson he took you for all the money he could get and threw ‘heroic’ england to the dogs….he didn’t give a shit about England. I’ll drink to that. Oh and by the way I am not an italian.

they were playing really badly in the begining and im really surprised they made it this far. but now, wow they are playing amazzzing i have to say. hopefully tomorow will go well for us wopss. =) forzaaa italiaaa

srry i mean i hope sundday will go welll. my badd

Benyoka they don’t comment on Del Piero and Pirlo and Grasso et all because these people have no skills of their own (and neither it seems their countrymen) so they have to take the piss out of everyone else. Sad people they are.

Pete, dahling, sorry but I am not for sale; I’m far too classy for you. Wouldn’t say no to the boys in blue though. Nooo not the French silly, I’ not keen on onion breath much. I meant the Italians (the azzurri). Wouldn’t even charge them a penny. It would be MY pleasure!

Italy will win ..in sha’a allah

(the azzurri).

really i love italy , the food of italy and guyies of italy

all my love to italy…

viva la italia

your welcome to ur screwed up country and i mean fucked up,economy in dire straights,domestic football on the verge of total collapse because of corrupt leaders and greedy corrupt footballers,fiat in absolute dissaray (italies flagship but flagging company)oh yes ur in a mess so make the most of sunday cause a)ur gonna lose to les bleus b)the english will take the pick of the greaseballs to the prem once all 4 corrupt clubs bid farewell to the top flight of football for the next 4,5,or 6 years and c)well c daniella you really do sound like a whore when u i can’t afford it cause i wouldn’t pay u for it anyhow,never do pay for a shag

oh and daniella,bet you look revolting just like all greaseballs.ALLEZ LES BLEUS.THIERRY WE LOVE YA AT ARSENAL,C U AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM NEXT SEASON WITH THAT WC WINNERS MEDAL ON YOU,ALL 60,000 OF US

OH AND GEORGE IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT IN OU COUNTRY THEN FUCK OFF BACK TO WHEREVER U CAME FROM CAUSE WE DON’T NEED WHINGING CUNTS LIKE YOU IN ‘OUR’ COUNTRY THANKYOU VERY MUCH.

Daniela 1
Pete 0.

Q)WHY DID PESOTTO JUMP FROM THE THIRD FLOOR?
A)CAUSE HE SAW SOMEBODY RUN OFF WITH HIS HAIR GEL

oh Alex where have you been all this time,lovely to c u back,by the way if u luv italia so much why don’t u move there cause u obviously love it more than ur owned country,christ if was a fellow canadian i’d kick ur arse for treason n string u up.i’m sure daniella would love ur tongue up her arse if u get my drift

ewwwwwwwww, Pete’s attempt at goal goes drifting wide. Looks like England is going to have to get creative if they want to stay in this tournament.

alex,you really are so ignorant and thick in the head it’s quite unbelievable,in fact i won’t reply to any more of your posts cause ur a bit of sad fellow really.oh by the way little alex erm…we’re already out ya

now everybody onto the final,i think thierry needs just a bit more support up front,i’d love to see zizou play a slightly more attacking role cause i really believe that he can provide that killer pass to thierry just at the right moment and i reall believe if he can be in that perfect role then the greatest footballer of recent times can provide the greatest footballer of current times with so many chances that italy will be flatened before you can say half time.

Oh my.
Pete’s calling to the bench for a sub. Will this be the last game for the captain of England who served his country so faithfully without ever getting past the semifinals of any major tourament ?

I personally am disgusted by most of the comments made by those of you who come from the “land of the free”. Listen..just deal with the fact that you lost to the Italians–you’re out–and you just didnt play well. You really had no chance in Hell. Any American that believes otherwise clearly doesnt know their head from their ass! And you need to stop carrying on with your ridiculous ranting. Frankly, all your bullshit jealousy shows how racist and prejudice you Americans are–which of course is of no surpise to anyone because its all your bullshit and racist attitudes that got you and the rest of the world in trouble in the first place. Take it from me, just keep to what you do best—making this world a really fuked up place.

listen i wanna say something,i’m so so that i say bad things about england.i live here and i love it like it my own country ok,london is the best place to live anywhere and i even love enlish football but i just get very upset when some of you say bad things about my country that’s all.good luck england in future and FORZA ITALIA!!!

JUST WANT TO SAY TO THAT ALEX THAT I THINK HIS KNOWLEDGE OF FOOTBALL IS EXTREMELY LIMITED,DAVID BECKHAM WON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE(THAT’S A EUROPEAN CLUB COMPETITION NOT OPEN TO CLUBS FROM NORTH AMERICA IN CASE U WERE GETTING A LITTLE EXCITED)IN 1999.YOU DON’T GET MORE MAJOR THAN THAT MY FRIEND

I’m sorry about the comments I made earlier. Sometimes the hatred overcomes me when I see my team lose.

I have noting against italians, in fact I think they are great people.
Please accept my aplogies everyone.

Oh champions league, that is pretty exciting.

However I’m talking about the tournaments people remember and tell their grandkids about.

For example:
“Remember when Zidane scored 2 beauties against Brazil to bring his country a world cup?”

That is what a true soccer nation holds in it’s wings, A World cup title. Beckham hasn’t seen the semifinals and never will.

Chris we all make mistakes,i’m sure ur a fine fellow with a good heart and good intentions.now go fuck urself u wimp

YES BUT YOUR CANADIAN YOU SEE CAUSE OF THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW FOOTBAL REALLY IS.YOU SEE IN EUROPE.THAT’S WHERE THE GAME IS PREDOMINANTLY AT IT’S STRONGEST THE EUROPEAN CUP IS CONSIDERED THE ULTIMATE PRIZE FOR EXAMPLE I SUPPORT CHELSEA AND I’D RATHER C CHELSEA WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE THAN ENGLAND THE WORLD CUP,THEIR MY LOCAL TEAM IT’S IN THE BLOOD IT’S EVERYTHING N IT’S THAT BIG BUT COMING FROM WHERE U DO YOUNG MAN(NO DIRESPECT)YOU SIMPLY WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND THAT

OH AND ALEX HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE EUROPEANS HAVE TO TRY TO EDUCATE YOU THE GAME IS CALLED FOOTBALL,THAT’S WHY WE PLAY WITH OUR FEET,CHRIST YOU DUMB NORTH AMERICANS

you know what you lot (my fellow englishman)are absolutley mad to have these ridiculous back n forth chats with the yanks n canadian’s,they know absolutley nothing n i mean nothing about our game so why do you bother engaging in meaningless chat with em.quite bizzare

Again John, sorry to tell you but English League league soccer is crap, and a champions league title is great n’ all, maybe your just not proud to be English, maybe it doesn’t matter that England cannot beat other countries, and English league would be nothing without foreign players.
That’s why Vialli never played another game for his country, once he went to play in England his international career was over. English soccer sucks.

No disrespect.

never mind that john.just heard the new iron maiden album,from a mate who knows steve harris,absolutley top top class stuff,the best ever,can’t wait to see em back home in stockholm in november.oh as for sweden we never have a chance!UP THE IRONS!c u at the meeting in the morning john,don’t be late(as usual!!!!!!)

SHEVCHENKO,BALLACK,ESSIEN,MAKELELE,GALLAS,CARVALLHO,CRESPO,CECH,ROBBEN,HENRY,FABREGAS,REYSE,GILBERTO,SENDEROS,LEHMAN,RASIDKY,RONALDO,VAN NISTELROY,SAHA,HEINZE,ALONSO,GARCIA,DAVIDS,LUQUE,ROSSI,VALENTE,FERREIRA,BOUMSONG,MELBERG,LIJUNBERG,OBI, AND ON AND ON AND ON PLUS DOZENS MORE AND MANY MORE TO FOLLOW INCLUDING CANAVARO PIRLO GATTUSSO(ALREADY A DONE DEAL AT £9M TO MAN U)ENOUGH FOR YOU ALEX OR DO YOU WANT SOME MORE SHOVED UP UR ARSE TWAT

Hey John, do they have a “CAPS LOCK” button in the UK ?

I think you may have it pressed by accident. Click the button right next to the “A” button on your keyboard. Or do they put the “A” ’s on the right side of English keyboards ?

ANYWAY U JUST TOTALLY CONTRADICTED URSELF CAUSE 1ST U SAID THE ENGLISH LEAGUE IS CRAP THEN U WENT BACK ON YOURSELF BY SAYING IT WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT FOREIGN PLAYERS MEANING THEREFORE IT IS SOMETHING.GOD YOU ARE STUPID,ARE ALL CANADIAN’S AS DUMB AS YOU,I VERY MUCH SUSPECT NOT

Oh and again(CHRIST HOW MANY MORE TIMES MUST I SAY THAT)vialli had already retired from int football when he went to chelsea

GOODBYE LUMBERJACK.AMERICA’S POOR SOLITARY NEIGHBOUR HAS A RIGHT SAD BOY LIVING IN IT’S MIST!

retired ??
BAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

U guys are getting way off the subject of fiotball.. who cares how many wrold cups have won, who is primminstre or we.e amrk was fucking tlaking bout . Or anythign like that it is all about who goes home wiht the cup . U.S.A didn even make it out of wrold cup group stage forget makign it as far as italia did. If u have not nticed its not just tje italians that dive althoguht i wil admit we do most f the players do .. but there are many other teams that are just as bad. Footbal has become more dicsrceful then ever teams wil exagerate calls makign them seem worse then they are and convincing the reffs that they are wrong and it was actualy a foul. Something shudl eb doen abotut he divng from not onyl italia but form the hole entire fifa league. So dont just say italans are pussies because we dive…. diving is currently appaart of soccer and we will do anythign to win. The best footbal comes from the younger leaguyes the ones nto coorupt form politics and adn cheating where we play to win and ahev a good time.

P.S. FIFA rankigns mean nthing .. U.S.A ranked fifth .. what ajoke i have crapped more talent then that..

and as afr as cheering for your home counrty where u live… well i cant do that cuz uiwould but wowo canada sux aat soccer lol.. so i cheer for the AZZURRI where most of my family was raised— FORZA AZZURRI!!!! WORLD CUP 06′!!!

FUCK ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO DOUBT US BEAUTIFUL ITALIANS…FRANCE IS GOING DOWN AND WE WILL GLADLY SMILE WHILE TAKIN THE CUP!!!!!!!!! AND THTS FINAL :d

I think that all of you crusty blokes from the UK need to relax over there with your “england this and england that” bullshit. You’re out and there is nothing more to say. You havent won a World Cup in over 40 years and it will take another 40 for your team to buck up and actually perform to what you are “supposedly” capable of doing. You’re team is over-rated. Get over it and stop complaining. Why don’t you just relax and go drink tea and eat a biscuit– or do whatever else it is you all waste your time doing!

By the way…viva Italia. And–I’m glad the Portugese roughed you up and knocked you down!

As a German supporter who watched what was one of the greatest games in world cup history we can proudly accept defeat to the Italians.I will gladly chear for them in the final.

Hey Alex any idea where a fellow could pick up one of those
“f()ck the English” T-shirts ?

OMG stfu u dum americans dont stop giving italians like me and every other italian shit about how italians dive n fake n shit..we’re good just face it we’ve won 3 and we’re going for 4 whether u liek it or not so stop being sore losers…u wanna know what fake is americans…i’ll tell u buncha losers….go wtach ur fkn wwe wrestlign shit than tell me what fake is??

I notice that those macaroni was well trained in faking injury. This will not work agains France …

FrenchMen

Canada has achieved world class medal performances in lacross, hockey (greatest game on earth, won world championships, olympics,though not the last one cause of pat quinn, world juniors, placing in the under 18, and the candian women dominate easily), curling, volleyball, track, the list really does go on since canada placed third at the last olympics with pretty much no funding from the government (i.e Hockey canada gets an annual 500 000$, US Hockey gets like 2-3 million). So ,suck on that bitches.All I’m saying is that socer has lost respect and integrity because of all the “theatrics”.

(someone asked to know what canada has done on the international level earlier, and lets face it, N.A. doesn’t give two shits about soccer, the next sport to really pick up in N.A. is MMA and after that I can’t see soccer doing it, they’re trying because NA is where the money is but its not going to happen)

Una Fancia del Catzo !!!

scuza,
Una FRANCIA del Catzo !!!

this is all very very amusing reading all your comments,why don’t you all meet up in afghanistan or iran and channel your aggression on the real aggressors,not your own selves from supposedly decent civilised societies.i love my football i really do but the comments on this site are nothing to do with the game i love so stop bickering.anyway as long as it,s a great game(or maybee war for some of you lot)on sunday hopefully with no cheating especially as the 9.5,9.5,9.5,10 portugese operatic dancers are packed off back to lisy,then we’ll all be winners(i suspect you lot will be fighting it out till south africa 2010 though!)

Pete Pete so much pent up anger…you must be sweating like a little cochon (that’s pig in french by the way). Don’t you know that the french hate the english…and you silly boy support them because of a few aging french footballers that happen to play for the Arse! Ha ha ha what a laugh. Call me all the names you like I don’t care a toss. You’re the one getting angy sweetie. I love London its great….can’t say the same for englishmen though! Unlike you I speak better english, write better english, have a pretty good job that no english person could fill it seems, and yes I’m not so bad looking either… but then I don’t give two hoots to what you think anyway I just enjoy winding people like you. I am Brazilian darling if you want to know.

Alex my man….you hang in there you are doing fine…looks like to me that England are in deep…shit…as usual..all talk and no BALLS!

Alex I want one of those t-shirts too…

Why is it that not one German has come on this site to complain about Italy? They are too sensible it seems because they know that they were beateng, this time, by a brilliant side, and come to that I can’t see any French making wild claims either. Just a bunch of american, english and australian losers…bad losers at that it seems.

One more before I go to bed…JOHN (with the capitals) you are a little bit sad really. You named at least 20 foreign players in the first div. That to me must mean that your clubs (espec the Arse) can’t play a decent game without the help of stinky, greasy and hairy foreigners. Can’t you see that as a team England are rubbish because…well because its full of ENGLISH players whilst the foreigners proceed to kick the hell out of you when you meet them at the European or World Cup. Just look at Ronaldo? Had little crying Rooney sent off…ahhh and I thought they both played together at Man Utd? Anyway why do you want smelly italians in your teams since everyone keeps saying how rubbish they are? Not logical JOHN, not logical.
Still if the Arse or Chelsea do get their sticky little hands on Totti, Gattuso, Toni etc I would go out and buy my season ticket tomorrow. Always good to watch a tasty man in action doing what he does best…the italian way!!! Ha ha ha ha………

so it looks like some fools (who probaly do not know much about soccer) have decided to bash other countries, in particular the Azzuri. Fist lets get one thing clear, the people acting in this video are not the azzuri, they are not even wearng blue. Second, Italy has done a fuck of a job in this world cup. To everyone who says Australia is better and Italy are pussys or wimps, go back to your kangeroos. Soccer will never be your sport. When it comes to the Ukraine game, one word for that..OWNED. Italy dominated the game with a wopping 3-0 result. Of course no one expected Ukraine to come through, but respect is granted for as far as they have come. As for the Germany game (my personal faveorite) It is quite the shame that the home team got showed up by the Italians, in front of their whol country, thought Germany played excellent, it was Italy who played excellent right to the end, and resulted with a 2-0 win. Some called it the impossible, but truley it is skill and hardwork by the Azzuri that got them into the finals, and will win them the cup. SO all of you haters out there,we can see, your teams are currently eliminated and won’t be participating in the final YOUR SILENCED.

and last of all…

FORZA AZZURI

It would be entertaining to see an England vs Trinidad rematch.
Two equally matched teams battling against one another makes for great sport !!!

your all pathetic,i’ve just like most of my countryman(shame on those who did not) observed 2 minutes silence for those killed on 7/7 by islamic fundamentalists and your more bothered about something as unimportant as a football game,squabling with each other like children in a playground.i hope for your own sakes ur just merely teasing each other,if not then you either don’t have a life or you should seriously seek help

oi u dum pieces of shit from england…go back 2 ur beds and cry….ENGLAND is crap ur whoel country is over rated when it comes 2 ur national team but england is shit….u struggled in the group stage wen ur group stage was easy u only just beta ecuador and portugal raped u…u english people are all a buncha ‘’skinheds” like that wayne rooney monkey look alike….all u english dumasses are like YAY::D WE GOT ROONEY back coz of his injury liek as if the sun shines out of rooneys ass…and what happens…that ugly diformed white monkey wayne rooney gets red carded 4 kikking that guy in the balls coz his a mental patient…so dont mock the italians coz we shit all over ur over rated country wen it comes 2 socceR:)…p.s.-i get a tan looking at the english squad coz their all so white and lanky and ugly:P

ur just jealous,cause your not from the greatest country in the world,ur a product of it’s son but then you hate being down under obviously and the bankrupt italian’s wouldn’t want you.but stuck aren’t u luci boy.poor luci everyone what it must feel like to be surrounded by english speakers with a union flag on your flag millions of miles from mama’s land who nota want you!by the way it’s called FOOTBALL.SOCCER IS FOR AMERICAN’S ONLY

Thanks to all of you who difended Italy and will be on our side on sunday, and celebrating with us on our 4th cup, you are welcome to be italian for few hours.
To the rest of you like we say in my country VAFFANCULO…..(translation: Go F…k your selfe)

PS. I apologise for the language.

I’M AN USTRALIAN LIVING IN LONDON,I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I LOVE ENGLAND EQUALLY AS MUCH,IT’S A FANTASTIC COUNTRY TO LIVE IN,THAT LUCIANO IS NOT AUSTRALIAN HE’S AN IMPOSTER,YOU DON’T REPRESENT ME OR ANY OF MY COUNTRYMAN.WE DON’T LIKE YOUR SORT AND AS THE FELLOW ABOVE SAID IF U LIKE ITALY SO MUCH THEN FOR GOD’S SAKE GO AND LINE THERE IF THEY’LL HAVE YOU CAUSE I DETEST PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN MY COUNTRY,YOUR NOT AUSTRALIAN YOU JUST LIVE THERE SO PISS OFF

Anyone who thinks the azzurri aren’t divers, cheats or dirty players just watch the game against germany again. Mamma mia, every time Germany would be breaking out with pace the ref would halt play cuz some blueshirt was down on the field. Notice when Lehmann knocked Grosso down in the box, Grosso looked up field to see what was developing b4 he covered his head and cried in pain. Earlier he was chasing a ball that went out of play and he started to turn up field. Germany was attacking and the whistle is blown. Yes Grosso is down on the turf again. Funny since 10 seconds earlier he was heading upfield on his own. Did you see that piece of shit Gattuso give Ballack a fingernail rake across the neck after Ballack showed true sportsmanship by helping him up?
I admit Italy played a great game but the only reason they were in this game was because of a dive by GROSSO and a blown call by the ref in the Aussie game. Had that game gone to extra time, Aussies would have won.
And why did the foul in the box against Podolski result in a free kick outside the box? Because Italy has the best refs money can buy. Face it, Italian match fixing goes far beyond the Italian leagues.
Thank god Portugal lost to France, or the final would have been worse than the PTGL/Ntherlands game. And I don’t think there’d be enough officials in the world to judge all the diving in a PTGL/ITALY match.
Ciao und Auf Wiedersehen

That last posting actually came Canada – not USA. And I am a Canadian.

Juerggen,
the last part of my previous post is for people like you. Where were you 4 years ago in South Korea . Get a cup of shut the fuck up. We dont need the referee to help us or the “hand of god” if you know what that means.

Great team USA!
This time they were really close to the final. Next time USA WC!

dom,u sound like a football hooligan,your so aggressive with your language.why do you feel the need to express yourself in that way?

i think within 12 years Australia or the US will win it yes.i mean the US need only channel their energies and diversify from their main sports a little and wow.god could you imagine where they would be if they just took the sport a little more seriously,they would beat the rest of us hands down,frightening really when u think about it

ok every1 look lets cut the crap…italy is in the final yet again and those of u that are making up bullshit iscoses as to why they dont deserve 2 be there are all sore losers and jealous of the fact that we either knokked u out or u arnt and never will be as good as us;)

Darren what do you think will be different in the next 12 years as opposed to the last 100 years ?
The Americans and Australians are no good now, they NEVER will be good. It’s been 12 years since the revolutionary time that the US hosted the world cup and US soccer was supposedly on its way..

This years loss to Ghana is damning proof that there has been NO POSITIVE PROGRESS coming from the USA. Do they even have soccer balls in Dakota ? or just KKK ?

Dom, 4 years ago my team was deservedly in the World cup final against Brazil and Italy was crying in their pasta so shut your own pie hole.

yeah but if they were to say “ok,let’s focus our energies on this game” they would win it within 3 WC’s i’m sure of it.let’s face it they always win when they want to and when they lose it’s usually cause they can’t be bothered.your right,football is just a passing interest to them but just imagine if it wasn’t.just imagine the same level of enthusiasm given to football as they do with their other sports.the rest of us would be flattened i’m telling you

juerggen,you deserved to win the cup in my humble opinion.germany have been an absolute delight.wonderful attacking football(ballack is the best in his position in the world)excellent fans,all played in the most incredible sophisticated stadiums in europe,in a beautiful country with the friendliest people and all washed down with excellent food and the best selection of beer the world can offer.thankyou germany,you can be cery proud of yourselves

I’d appreciate if any of you Caandians can tell me how to post from Canada. Is there a Canadian site for this blog? I wouldn’t want people to mistake me for being American. thanks

Juerggen it was an honorable loss. One of the best games I have ever seen. Your doing yourself and your countrymen a disfavor by claiming cheating and diving. The game was played in GERMANY in the most electrifying stadium there is, the odds were stacked heavily in your favor……

Wow, I agree with you. I already admitted that Italy played a great game. If Germany had hung for 2 more minutes, even with their incredible W-L record on PKs, there’s no guarantee they would have won the game. Lehman was great against the Argies but there’s a reason Buffon is World’s #1 ranked keeper. But damn wouldn’t PKs have been exciting with those 2 keepers?

Darren,
your comments are greatly appreciated and have set the bar for others. You are indeed an English gentleman of true class.
For those who’ve never been to Germany, go to Cologne for Karneval at least once in your life. You will love it.

er cech is number in the world actually

your dumb if you actually considered this being real. the best team in the world has been itly for the last 6 months, they are on a 24 non-beaten streak. if you watch soccer more than once every 4 years you know that.

by the way, if your from germany like i am from italy you can take that loss straight to the grave. they are all racist. all the people in germany deserved this one, and the extra goal was proof. italy only scored that to stick it hard to the germans. the whole time leading up to the game, throughout germany they were leading campaigns of stereotypical bullshit against the italians. the germans have fought 2 wars on there soil and lost those, now you can add a third. forza italia.

Funnily enough, no one posted from France…
Right all these crap about cheaters, politics, racism (yeah yeah, I found some comments quite nasty guys) impressed me to be honest. How can a simple funny video which is meant to be a joke can divide people so much? This came from England and unfortunately, not everyone around the world seems to have english delicious sense of humour. shame…
Right, you’ve been pulling down the Italian even before the beginning of the World Cup. And guess who’s playing the final?
most comments posted here are fiction: on sunday, you’ll see what reality is.
Good luck to everyone for the next World Cup. Just don’t forget what it takes to make it to the final: certainly not a filthy tongue. only TALENT.
FORZA ITALIA!!!!!
VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!

oops! didn’t see dom’s comment, from France too. sorry! Quite agree with you dom!

mike why do you have this habbit of calling it soccer you dumb yankie we call it FOOTBALL cause you play with ur feet unlike yankie football where they play with their hands in tights the poofs that they are

er actually dom had a little union jack next his name

pete, never knew the blue/white/red flag was called union jack…
been to school lately? nah…you’re probably too young..

Pete…. thanks for correcting me on that. I just saw that on the FIFA site. It was from tv commentators during the game where I heard Buffon was #1.

Mike…. no need to be nasty. All Germans are not racist, just like all Americans are not dumb, arrogant, gun wielding, war mongers, and all Italians are not Mafia crime lords. Living to the north of you gives us access to all the US cable stations so we see every day that there’s probably as much racism in America as there is in Germany, so to paint an entire group of people with the same brush smacks of hypocritical ignorance. I am confident you are much smarter than that.

If I were American I would keep my politically correct mouth closed when it comes to talking about losing wars these days. Vietnam, Iraq, war on drugs… But since you brought up the history lesson, not all Germans were Nazis so don’t say the Germans lost 2 wars – it was the Nazis who lost. In fact Germans accounted for the the largest group of Europeans who emigrated to America after the wars because good German people wanted nothing to do with Nazism.

Now can we get back to football? No one deserved to lose that game but that is sport. Let’s be honest, the extra goal would never have happened had the first one not been scored. I’m sure you seen lots of empty net goals in hockey. It’s the chance you take when you put everything up to tie the game. See where the Portugese goalie was in the last minute of that game?

Just like 2002, no one – not even most Germans – gave Germany a chance to get this far. So give credit where credit is due.

A wise man once told me “You never make yourself look good by trying to make others look bad.”

See darren’s comments for a touch of class.

nicely put. sometimes its shocking to see how racist and prejudice people get on these blogs. you’ll feel better if you say something positive about another country. and dont bother responding to the negative ones, they only talk shit because they can remain anonymous.

actually u fucker it’s called the union flag as well as the jack(the union of englan,scotland,wales n northern ireland)and it’s actually the red,white and blue flag so you not what you can do don’t you

i have to say that the racicm exists like a cancer in italy,just look at the monkey chants towards black players,absolutley sickening and what do they do?nothing.in england if u did that the crowd would turn on you before the police could get to you to arrest you

True dat SKILLZ.

We can all love our own country without having to hate others. Remember the World cup themes.
“A time to make friends.”
“Say no to Racism.”
“Fair play is my game.”

im not american pete and sorry for calling it soccer if hurt your feelings. why do you call people poofs, thats what 5 year olds call people.

the state of germany funded the campaigns against italy not individuals. that part about germans losing on their soil was a joke so take it as one. if you want my educational merits i will happily provide them but this has nothing to do with that, im in a chat room.

i dont know you and niether does anyone else. no one knows me including you. so im not making myself look good or you look bad. get over yourself. if you had class you wouldnt be in this chat room or even replying to my comments. i dont have class, who needs it. im replying to you cause im rich and have nothing better to do. if your not rich, then get off your asses and away from the computer and start doing something with yourself.

this is my first time in a chat room and im probably never doing one again. i came to this one cause somebody gave me the url for the video. i cant believe i even wrote this much. to see that people truely take these seriously is dishartening. i hope the germans get crushed by portugal.

pete pete pete, firstly you’re wasting your precious time insulting me.
secondly, I’ve lived in england long enough to know the exact how to call your flag. and excuse me, what people call blue/white/red flag has nothing to do with your colours. this is the french flag you prat!
and the flag next to dom’s name is indeed the french flag.
now this is not the point anyway. I only replied because I’m slightly more educated and polite than you obviously are. Tell you what, when you watch the game on sunday, watch the surroundings. I reckon you could learn a few things you idiot.

mike,your a total buffoon if you think people believe your rich,people who are rich don’t piss around on forums like these and anounce to all that they are rich.ok let’s try one myself…er i’m a billionaire who slept with demi moore..it’s true!

obviously not if u don’t know the term union flag and who’s insulting who now hypocrite

Richard,
I apologized for my language on the previous post. But some people need to be talked that way.
Some people dont use their brain, and that makes my blood boil.
Again sorry if I offended anyone who did not deserve it.

and also you obviously don’t know our flag cause i’ve just checked n it is indeed the flag of the union so go stick ur head in the bleu/blanc/rouge mere

no problem mate,by the way where are you,as the people above appear to be in disagreement regarding your location?

Juerggen,
we beat 4-3 in 1970, 3-1 in 1982, 4-1 three months ago and 2-0 few days ago. Now I understand why you so mad….lol it’s only a game go eat some Kartoffen .

i’m from italy,i’m live in the uk and i’m gay.do you all hate me for that too?

i’ve no problem with you whatever ur nationality or sexuality is i just can’t stand some of the ignorant comments made

Poor Mike has more money than he knows what to do with. WE are all so glad to see that his higher educational accomplishments are being put to good use writing imflamatory comments in a chat room. The great people of the world bring others up to their level. Alas, the unserious, incredibly wealthy, non-American-Italian superior intellect known as Mike has successfully managed to prove that money and brains don’t always make you a better person. Shame that money wasn’t spent better somewhere else. Thanks for leading us all in dummying down our input for you.
Yes we don’t know you but your commentary makes it easy for us to form opinions of you. So, get off your high horse you arrogant arse. Don’t take it personally, or seriously. It’s just a joke. So don’t go away mad – just go away. Arsewipe.

We all love you dom. Can’t you feel the love in this room.

juerggen,i’m with you my friend.oh and by the way very best of luck tommorrow,i agree with the other guy,germany has been brilliant,think i;ll go for a long weekend to munich

Hey dom, congrats on those stats.
I’ve never said Italy was a bad team or Italy sucks. In fact, I predict they will win on Sunday, unless they all fall down on the field at the same time.

i don’t have a problem with that dom,don’t worry about it

Guys, this has been fun but I’ve get to get some work done. Good luck to all this weekend. Have lots of brews, brats, jagrmeisters and schnitzels and whatever else you like to undulge in. At the end of the day, I think we can agree that we all just want to see great matches.
Over and out from the uneducated, poorer than dirt, German Canadian.
In fact I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention. LOL

mike,you demonstrate everything we dilike about american’s with your comments

now…is there 2 guys called dom? Don’t know if dom’s living in UK last comment was addressed to me but personnally don’t hate any of them . I do mind my language but I still want to shut the little prat off. the little prat who by the way, started insulting me and who now looks offended.
I find it SO sad that you’ve got to check it on the internet to find out what your own flag is called. Have you also checked the colours? you should! never know, if someones asks you in Munich you don’t want to look stupid do you???
Right, in my first message in this forum, I was all over english great sense of humour. You obviously didn’t take any benefit from this great quality of english people.
can’t believe you’re being so rude and agressive!

i think some of you are being over sensitive.you see being english myself i know from the comments of most of my fellow countrymen that the whole thing is a wind up(i mean the comments made)and let’s not forget the original reason this all started(the wind up video clip remeber?)this therefore shows the absolute brilliance of the english humour and if you care to look at your scroll button and c how tiny the tab bar now is due to all the postings then you would have to sumise what a freat success it’s been in doing just that.
can we all see now how a war can easily be started with just a joke & a couple of jokey comments?

gigi,
i see only one dom on my forum and he does have a british flag against his name.
dom come out come out,you are completely surrounded it is useless to think you can escape!

when i said i’ve just checked,i mean’t i just checked if dom’s flag AGAINST his name was the union flag you mooron

pete? piss off…

Richard hi! look am I going mad or should I stop on wine for tonight?
could you just confirm the flag for the dom whose comment says quote-”Juerggen,
we beat 4-3 in 1970, 3-1 in 1982, 4-1 three months ago and 2-0 few days ago. Now I understand why you so mad….lol it’s only a game go eat some Kartoffen .”unquote. sent at 9.00
if you say “english flag”, I’ll go and sleep!

gigi, I see a US flag on that post.

aye,it is i’m afraid,i think maybe we are seeing differnet flags in different countries against confusing names.i think somenone is playing games with this site,i also suspect that someone is going under various alias’s judging by the connection of some of the meassages timing abd typecast.for examaple i strongly suspect that that pete is also steve?what do you think gigi?

sorry just to confirm it’s a british flag against dom’s name(jost noticed juerggen’s comment)

gigi and richard
I am the one (dom) with the blood boiling, NOT gay, I am Italian but live in the USA.

oh right then…for info, I still see dom as a french. nevermind, that way that is perfect (joking joking) going to have a look at steve comments and look for a match. talk about football now guys and don’t mind my madness!

Sorry guys have no idea how to get the flag to show. This was my post just to make it clear, there is another dom from the uk.
“Juerggen,
we beat 4-3 in 1970, 3-1 in 1982, 4-1 three months ago and 2-0 few days ago. Now I understand why you so mad….lol it’s only a game go eat some Kartoffen .”
hope no one else get confused…lol

no dom i’m afraid for your goodself my site still shows a british flag against your name in every caption and so from where i’m sitting if there is more than one dom then they are both/all seemingly posting from the uk?which one of you admitted to being gay,come out the closet(if u’ll pardon the pun)

actually,just thinking about it once again it’s logical to me that a certain person who we’re getting familiar with now guys is using dom’s name to poke fun.can we all behave and have a nice sensible discussion about football otherwise i really can’t be bothered and will leave this site.is anybody with me on that one?how about you gigi/juerggen?

HEY ALEX,
a Trinidad v England rematch would be entertaining.

1-0 to Trinidad in penealty kicks.

adios

by sunday night we are gonna be in possession of the greatest prize in sport.just think of that all of u idiots.i love totti,he’s gorgeous

i mean’t to say gorgeous player to watch.i mean watch playing football.oh you know what i mean

Aren’t you people fed up with bashing Italy? You are en excellent publicity machine you know for Italy. Keep on going. We all know its only jealousy that fires you guys up. If you want to see real divers then go and have another look at the England-Portugal game…there are plenty there. For those of you who live in the UK the Mail had a whole two pages dedicated to the diving skills of the Portuguese in todays issue…quite sensational stuff! But then again its easier to bash the italians basically because you lot cannot praise skill when you see it and are just filled with anger because your own sub standard non achieving teams (US Austrlia England) have shown you up yet again. I think all Azzurri fans Italians and non Italians should stop replying to these so called ‘football experts’ and let them stew in their own juice because come sunday the Azzurri will be holding up the cup for the 4th time….England keep dreaming of 1966…actions speak louder than words!! If you believe the hype (about your teams) then you deserve the shite (they reward you with)!

Er Richard no need to exaggerate…Demi More slept with whatshisname for only a million dollars…no need to be so generous…in pound sterling that would make it roughly £650…cheap at the price!

yes definitely a british flag(that’s criss cross blue white and red) against dom’s name…bit suspect if you ask me. Who said dom way gay? I thought he was a she…he did say he loves totti! Can we stick to the insults and football its less confusing.

Ahora Si !!

Italianos vive la noche !!!

Italia !!!
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo

Daniela Mi Morena,
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO !!!

Football is full of cliches – Italians dive (shame Portugal have taken away their crown this year), Brazil are the most gifted players in the world(erm…not this year)the Germans are clinical in their delivery (must have lost the old concentration against Italy) ahhh and England…funny no one ever says much about England except for the English themselves – pretty boring stuff English football.
Forget the cliches and for all the idiots above who insulted each other’s countries why not watch what a real game is like cause whatever you lot have been prattling on about they are the world’s n.1 and n.2 they just need to sort out which one’s which.
PS I am french not english but I study in London right now…so don’t confuse me with the english because of the ‘Jack’ next to my comments.
Vive le tricoleur…(both the french and italian flags are called the tricoleurs…tricolore)

Hola Fuerza Latino tu me gusta mucho…de donde? Te gusta el football???

Viva l Italia
Forza Azzurri

XAVIER,IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT HERE,YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO RIGHT

Oh dom dom at least I can spell your name. Why take offence, none was meant it just got a bit confusing…stop being such a drama queen and chill out. By the way I like being a ‘bitch’. Got nothing against gays darling. My best friend is gay, he’s not into drama and is a sweet guy unlike you rude twat. Take a cold shower darling..Totti is married to a gorgeous woman.

Dom when you said by sunday we are going to be in posession of….I think what you wanted to say was you wished you could be in posession of totti right? Bah how about Beckham…he’s pretty cute too.

DON’T KNOW WHY I SHOULD GO HOME I LOVE LONDON AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING DIFFERENT. JUST THAT ENGLISH FOOTBALL AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL IS PRETTY DAMN BORING. NOTHING WRONG IN STATING FACTS IS THERE? STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE.

Do you people talk about football or is it just an excuse to pontificate over other subject matters? This is the football fact: Italy and France have been the two best teams in the World Cup. Italy has conceeded one goal in the whole bloody tournament and it was an own goal. Diving does not account for a great defence and in any event, the Italians have not been diving. They beat Australia fair and square. They killed Ukraine and they also beat the Germans fairly, which was an otherwise wonderful contest between two terrific teams. There are no other teams I can think of in this World Cup that have conceeded just 1 goal up to the semi finals and there are no teams other than the 1990 Italy team which have gone so long that I can remember which have conceded only 1 goal in the World Cup for so many matches. They are a magnificent football team and the results have illustrated that.

Similarly, the French deserve to be in the Final because they defeated Spain, Brazil and Portugal.

Anyone who says otherwise, is jealous because they won’t be watching their team in the final and because their respective teams couldn’t defeat either Italy or France.

It’s unfortunate for the Australians because they came close. Nonetheless, Australia had no chance of winning the World Cup and Italy played with ten men for half the match and still didn’t concede a goal against the Aussies.

Quit your jealousy and enjoy the final between the two best teams of this World Cup.

che musica la calcio Italiano !!!

Un salsa divino !!!

nicely said shaun

Very sensible comment Shaun (and no! I am not saying this because I’m french!!!)
that really is a fact: France and Italy both played fantastic football and deserve the final.
This competition is all about fair play. At least some of us know that.
May the best one win. either either, this is going to be great.
can’t wait for tomorrow night.

it’ll end of being a complete bore,that was a one off with the italian lot last week,they will revert to their typically boring style of football probably with an early goal before shutting up shop.as for france they are only in the final because the teams they have played against have simply not put up a descent fight.the only team who has played CONSISTENTLY well in this tournament has been the germans who were fantastic.klose is a gem of a striker

and if wasn’t for that bungling fool errikson who has to be the most overpaid overated manager in football england would and should be there too.on paper individually we had the best 1st 11 players in the world,who for their clubs excell,why can’t they do it for england because errikson does not/did not know what he was doing.he is tactically naive and i can’t imagine any football club ever offering the scoundrel a job again

i’m a little concerned for that fellow dom,he seems to be confused with a lot of things in his life from what i’ve read.i mean what was all that late night script about being gay etc etc?what on earth has that got to do with football as entertaining and highly amusing as it is?dom if your still out there there are forums for gay people elsewhere my friend

I hate to admit it but i’m inclined to agree with that idiot pete to some extent even though he is a prat.We have never played very entertaining football both internationally and in serie A and i do agree that the premiership is by far the most entertaining league and both la liga and the prem jointly the best technically.However i think you would all want what we have which is to be in the final tommorrow night no matter how you play?we are there the rest have gone home and we are just over the moon to be there

Mm not by cheating Roberto no,playing badly yes i’d take there although i’d feel a bit embarrassed about it but not by cheating like the disgraceful portugese who i think should be thrown out of the next world cup.They have been shameful throughout and as a man utd supporter i hope to god i never have to see that weasel ronaldo again.Please Real Madrid do us a favour and buy the scoundrel,please please please BUY HIM NOW

don’t worry to much David: god will probably listen to you. Understand ronaldo is now personna non grata in england. I don’t necessarily agree with english league being the best and most exciting in england (and before “someone” -not you Roberto- shoots back , I don’t think France is either) but english definitely are fair players and I can’t see them accept to welcome back such a cheat. This guys deserves to have his career stopped not matter how good he can play when he doesn’t fake. I’ve got nothing against portuguese but they simply should be ashamed for what they did to their people. and what about their manager? he won a world cup with Brazil playing always playing a clean game and now what? he must be real upset.
on “paper”, I don’t think the english squad was the best although they are all very good player.
what makes it is the team not necessarily the individuals , brazil being living proof of that. but then again, on “paper” how do you call a team that’s got the best goalkeeper in the world (er.. buffon)? the best defense in the world (er..canavarro, nesta inven injurred, materazzi, zambrotta)? oh, and this guy? pirlo isn’t it, probably one of the best midfielder in the world? stupid me! forgot Luca Toni! 31 goals in the european championship known for its best defense!
ah…paper, paper! Italy’s got quite a good one…
as for france…well doesn’t need to tell you about Zidane right? best player in the world. Henry, best scorer in england, Barthez? still number 2!
how did these french and italian made it to the final that’s anyone’s guess…

OMG all u people from the united kingdom shut ya traps…yaz keep dissing all the teams that have knokked ya zout fair and square and dissing italy and france about how they havnt played good and have had easy teams 2 verse…lemmi tell u summin…the two countries that are in the final of a world cup are the best fullstop…as for england with all ur ugly diseased players with like ur white mental monkey(wayne rooney)and lanky spider (peter crouch…..please stfu coz england is the most over rated country in the world…..the media always over rates u liek the sun shiens out of your asses and yaz are predicted 2 get far every world cup but liek usual ya play crap coz u are crap…dont say stuff about italy n france having easy group stages coz england has tirnidad and tobago which is a country no1 knows of and yaz only just beta em when they were very easy…yaz had paraguay very easy…and yaz had ecuador which should’ve been easy but that game was said 2 be the worse game of the tournament and yaz just one thanks 2 a penalty…than yaz have portugal who clean u up and bye bye england cya in another 4 years u white monkey….may the best team win between italy vs france….FORZA ITALIA!!!:)

btw gigi nicely said u know your football very well especially with the italian squad

btw my bad england just beat ecuador by a freekick:)

“on paper individually we had the best 1st 11 players in the world”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BAAHAHAHAH
ooohh
haha,
ooohhhh
AHHAHAHAHHAHAH
Aaaaaahahahahaha
my side hurts I’m laughing so hard.

My god are you serious ?

What a joke !!!!!
a JOKE!!!!

Nothing like good ol’ English Ethnocentric opinions documented on this form for all to cherish !!!

On paper Ronaldinho is better than your whole bloody team !!!

Hey Luca! I do know football quite well yeah. Didn’t want to say too much about the french squad though.
reasons? first I am french and don’t want to show off.
second I read much more nasty about italian than french on this forum so I though they deserve the best comments.
anyway, I do think they are both great and deserve the final all right.
mays the best team win absolutely. at this stage of the competition when only OUTSTANDING teams are left in the competition, it can only be pleasure and I do mean that. although I am french I’ve got some italian blood and do’nt really care who’ll win it.
Now, I hate to fill up this forum with bad spritis cause it’s sooo full of love , but we’ve got a nice say here in Marseille : English may have created football but its future is in Marseille.
tomorrow night, my town which hearts beats both for italia and france will be ready to celebrate.
as I said I like england very much but tough luck guys…looks like your golden days are over.
apparently, you already figured out that one since you all left the forum!
good night…

it this was a league it would be very different.porto won ch european cup(and indeed liverpool before u all start ur slating)on the premis of a knockout out comp.Had it have been over a period of let’s suppose 20 games they would not have come even close.the same applies to the world cup.it’s a knockout comp therefore the best team doesn’t always win and i honestly believe that germany are that team.if you look at the domestic leagues the best team does win it because if you lose a game or two it matters not,you can still win it(i.e from the 5 top euro leagues as follows:
Englang:Chelsea
Spain:Barcelona
Italy:juventus(until monday anyhow!!)
Germany:Bayern Munchen
France:Lyon

ergo the best and the favourites always win over a whole season of knockout competition,the same cannot be said of the World Cup,it is a bit of a lottery played under entirely different circumstances.look at WC 2002.
semi finalists included south korea and wait for it just in case u’ve forgotten…….TURKEY!!!!!!!!!

alex you don’t anything about football,i’ve read all your comments on this site and my conclusion is,is that you are probably,no obviously confusing our game with ice hockey or some such sport for gays of the same nature.as for canada as beautiful a country as it is bar crazed fools like urself,it has achieved nothing of significance in sport and before u give me all this nonsense about ice hockey,curling and such like,neybody gives a toss man

it will soon be China we all hate cause now that they have the world’s largest economy,no doubt soon they will also have the world’s greatest football team called appropiatley enough:’THE UNSTOPABLES’!!

You all need a reality check,take a good look around in the world to see what the word ‘disgusting’ really means(football is just a game and is nothing more than that)hate to put this on but some of you need to really wake up to reality so go ahead and check out http://www.nomullas.com and click on the obvious icon that your curious eyes are drawn to.i warn you though,u’ll come out the other side in shock n REAL DISGUST.ONCE AGAIN I HATE TO POST THIS BUT WE MUST REALISE WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTABT IN LIFE AND ALL LEARN TO STOP HATING AND LIVE TOGETHER PEACEFULLY AND HARMONIOUSLY.

WHAT JEALOUSY CAN DO… So petty. Bet Italy on the final is burning someone’s bum….to the US posters, you can’t lose with style…you only scored a goal to Italy, and that because it was an autogoal. And about that mockery of a video, well, maybe to US standards I guess is better to DIVE bombs here and there instead …

Ok you guys who have just made some great footballing comments above I want you to know that the whole of the UK (not including the foreigners but including all the tv pundits and most of the tabloid papers) are supporting France tomorrow evening whilst taking all the chances they can to slag off Italy and do you know why? Not because they are fans of French footbalss (as if) but because in the French team there happens to be a few French players who play for Arsenal and they figures that if France wins its also a little win for England. How pathetic is that?

That leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth,after watching that u’ll be glad to know i’m signing off,i have nothing more to say and i appolagise to you all if i have offended any of you at some point.thankyou stephen for helping me see what reality as you rightly say is all about,i suggest others do the same.

GOSO, you’re a complete moron – get yourself a blow up doll

The english fans are supporting the french eh ? thats irony.

aren’t the words “Fuck The English” in the French national anthem ?

And the French sure did fuck the English here in Canada. Thanks to the hard work of the french during the formation of our country, Canadians are all free to cheer for whichever team we like. Unlike the USA and Australia !!!

Well, what’s so surprising…aren’t you aware that professional football training includes the three “F”s – fight, fake and foul? Unbelievable but true, professional footballers are taught to fake injury and to foul as well, and that’s the reason why very often, were it not for the Cameras, we would not be able to notice many of the fouls committed!

to all who watched wc and have some reasoning abilities

germany your fotball is 1 class lower then italian
england your football is 2 class lower
australia and usa 3 class lower

and that´s the truth

and today we are going to be the second force in football history

veni,vidi,vici

forza italia

2nite italians unite as one!!!…we will winn the world cup!!forza azzurri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WC nearly over. Nearly time to say goodbye.
thanks to those who put some sensible comments here, it’s been nice to read them.
as for the others, it’s benn both a big laugh though some of you has been quite frightening really.
May the best one win and looking forward to the next one!
cheers
VIVE LA FRANCE
FORZA ITALIA

clicked submit by mistake,appologies

8)we have the most diverse food on the planet,in london you can eat any food from any country you think of,on the continent,your lucky if you can find a decent chinese
9)we have the fourth most powerful economy in the world noted for our fantastic buisness ethics that the rest of europe is in awe of
10)quite simply we play football fair and square with no cheating,no diving and furthermore i’m proud to say that in our club football certainly and indeed now in our international football too,we don’t have the racism and hooliganism and indeed corruption that itlay spain and others have inherited from us,we left all that behind in the 80’s

oh and to go beyond the ten,we provided the world with the greatest rock bands ever over the past 40 years.

oh and i also forgot to say tht we hold the record for the number of teams to have won the eropean cup
liverpool 5
man utd 2
aston villa 1
nottingham forest 2
and if you wanna include celtic as a bonus,feel free to do so

rascal, excellent, you’re aboslutely right to defend your country although I don’t understand why you should feel the need to mix all those political, economical and others details to a FOOTBALL conversation. anyway:
1/no comment
2/no comment
3/no comment
4/ er…you wish my dear…
5/not something to be proud to be honest…
6/well, that’s also the easest one to learn issn’t it?
7/london maybe. and in total contradiction with point 5 anyway.
8/now dear first chinese in england are rubish! if you want a good chinese out of asia, just go to NY! and sorry but you certainly do NOT have the most diverse food in the planet come on! you’ve got many diverse restaurants yeah and you can find everything in london ok but english food???? I’ve lived in england and like it but it’s so basic and NOT diverse it’s untrue.
9/ yeah but please consider the price you’ve paid to achieve that!
10/ right but you tend to put hooliganism at the very back of your memory. don’t forget not many nation have been banned from international competition…english have been.
do agree on your comments about music: definitely the best.
bit disapointed you forgot the most important english contribution to the world in the last decade: Harry Potter!
cheer up!

actually i have to say that juventus should have been banned as well if not instead of liverpool,if you look at the facts gigi you will know that it was their supporters who started throwing missiles at liverpool’s which led to liverpool defending themselves and ultimatley that infamous wall falling and tragically crushing the juve supporters hence why liverpool and therefore english football was so very badly penalised although i am glad in a way cause that was the begining of the end fou OUR hooligan problem.since then many countries should have had sterner punishments namely ital with it’s club hooligans spain with it,s racial problems turkey with it’s national hooligans and now portugal with their chating players who are enough to put any of us off the game let alone our friends from North America,however they get off scott free and i wonder,since a precident has been set how this is possible other than to sumise that it comes down to anti anglo sentiment.

hey rascal. look I am certainly not saying that holiganism problem in the 80’s was all english’s fault, no. but in your point 10, you sort of put it so backwards that it was as if nothing happened which is not true. you cannot make it now a good point for england with this past. it’s not anti anglo comment it’s fact. your supporters haev changed.
Scott, I really think i’d make lots of money publishing “food guys for english lost abroad”. how can you limitate spanish food to tortilla and paella?? there is so much more. But when I lived in the uj, i watch a broadcast showing how young english were desperate about food abroad. don’t take it as an insult but they were saying you were just lost without KFC, english pizzas, fat pies and junk food. I’m young too and I appreciate every sort of food. next time you go to spain try there many varieties of fish (not fish and chips right?!) for a change.
now guys, the time has come to get ready for the big game! ordering some nice italian pizzas, opening a french bottle of wine and again may the best one win!!!

NO OFFENCE GIGI,I LOVE FRANCE I REALLY DO BUT YOUR WINE SUCKS,IT’S LIKE WATER.AUSTRALIA RULES WHEN IT COMES TO WINE,ALTHOUGH BELIEVE IT OR NOT AND LAUGH AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE BUT INCREDIBLY A VINEYARD IN SUREY,UK WON AN 3 STAR INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR RED WINE(CAN’T REMEBER THE GRAPE VARIETY)CHECK IT OUT IF UR CURIOUS.AND DON’T GET ME WRONG I LOVE ANY FOOD,MAYBEE I WAS JUST IN THE WRONG PART OF SPAIN.AND AS FOR THE SCUMBAGS YOU REFERRED TO GIGI,THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE.WISH WE COULD KICK EM ALL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY BUT WE’RE STUCK WITH THE LOW LIVES.ENJOY THE GAME.LET’S HOPE IT’S A FANTASTIC FINAL.I ENVY BOTH COUNTRIES

hi Pete. I do believe you and australia got some fine vineyards! BUT france’s is definitely the best sorry. austalia rules? god did you hear that one???!!!
have a go at a good bordeaux or a beaujolais: nothing like water dear!
enjoy the game too. I do hope england will make it soon.
for the love of football!!! wish a fantastic evening to all of you guys!

…Rascal get off that pedestal of yours; you’ve got such a big head it might make you topple over. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Yes there is quite a bit of variety in London true enough but if all the foreigners left and went back home the english would be left with pie and chips, steak and chips, hotpot and….chips oh and mushy peas if you come from the north of Englad…ah yes fish and …yes chips.

FORZA ITALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sorry gigi already did,but i just can’t stomach it.Australia has perfected it but the europeans simply cannot come to terms with new world wine.it’s like the thought of the aussies beating italy,they almost did,and when they do it’ll be hard to take for italian’s

also you can say that without pizza and pasta what else is thier about italian food.a bit one dimensional to tell the truth,still fine food i agree however

Pretty damn boring so far this game

In the ranking of the teams that are mostly using those ways of playing during a game, Italy is just in the middle.

Saluti,
Alessio from Sicily.

that’s more interesting than this awful final.what a let down.

France are playing some fantastic stuff,just need to get the ball to thierry a bit more.as for italy seems they’ve gone back to their typical defensive ways.why are they always playing that way,why can’t they be more attacking god i hate theur brand of football.
GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOO FRANCE

France are playing some fantastic stuff,just need to get the ball to thierry a bit more.as for italy seems they’ve gone back to their typical defensive ways.why are they always playing that way,why can’t they be more attacking god i hate theur brand of football.
GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOO FRANCE

we can all say that you see michael,just shut up and watch the game like an adult

lucky very very lucky,zidane what were you thinking mate,they were there for the taking.all i can say is italy deserved nothing they were boring yet again and played for penalties all along.enjoy it while it lasts cause tommorrow it’s back to your miserable jobs in your flagging economy while ur clubs get relegated.

disastrous world cup,what a dreadful advert for the game,what must the yanks think of it now?the only teams who played well with any kind of passion and desire were germany and argentina,the rest were shit

The biggest fluke since the US bought Alaska from the russians for a few dimes.Just shows you can win the world cup by playing poorly.what does that say about the world cup

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

cky

Yes, sure, we’re lazy, bad players, fashion fanatics and we cannot even cook.
Can you guys loose with a little more class!

France is been so great that it had lost.
We have the cup, you can keep the complaints!

yeah and a lot of thieves have money that ain’t theirs.France were robbed,everyone could see that.so you can keep your cup,but the true winners tonight were France,they entertained us,you bored us,alas that is the real difference

What the hell was that Zidane headbutt? Zidane is an experienced, skillful player. Materazzi must have said somthing that really pissed him off. Anyone know what he said?
What a disgraceful way to end a distinguished career of football. Like the commentator said, it can take 15 years to build a reputation like Zidane’s, and 15 seconds to lose it.

Apparently matterazi said “go fuck your mother you arab”
if that is the case then you can undertstand his reaction,cause i’d have used my fidts personally.

i’ve also just read that cannavaro has signed for chelsea and pirlo and gattusso for man utd

wow jumping ship already,running very scared now

I can well believe it about that matterrazi,when he was at Everton he was well known for racist comments towards black players.Disgusting individual.Feel so sorry for Zizou and i completetly agree,he should of shoved that cup up Matterazi’s arse good n hard.

That was amazing, time to start a new blog? How about “Italy Wins Its 4th World Cup To The Dismay of Anonymous Bloggers”

Congratulations to The Azzurri who above all, showed class, persistence, heart, and talent.

Veni Vidi Vici Azzurri 2006.

yeah yeah yeah you english you are just damn jealous… I seem to remember a couple of weeks ago when England played a rubbish boring match Ian Wright say..its not how you play but the result…as long as its the right result. I bet none of you would be saying you were boring and rubbish if it were England who had just won. Italy had posession throughout the first half and didn’t play much the second. They weren’t playing for penalties since we all know how rubbish (like the English) they have been in the past at penalties…you stupid wankers english idiots. Go and stick your french baguette up you tight arses. As for Zidane so you are all lip readers are you? The fact is that italy are CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD and stuff the rest of you. An argentinian who is very happy.

[...] Those damn Italians. I guess they redeemed themselves by beating the French. [...]

ahh so zidane lost hes head because of a racist remark? how about maybe he is just a complete jerk. you already know what materazzi has said do you? ha ha ha haaaa. you english are amazing, have you not noticed that u r the only people posting on this site and an australian and sad american. jealousy will not get you anywhere. you bitter and twisted and very very sad. Pete you are the saddest of all. ahhhhhhhhhh poor little england ‘heroes’ who came home with their tails between their hairy legs and italia have won the world cup ITALIAAAAAAA.

if it mean’t winning and playing as bad as that,i wouldn’t be happy i can tell you that much.for me it’s about entertainment.
anyway argie if you don’t like england just get on a plane and piss off back.
oh maybee ur too young to remember the war.well let me remind you,we kicked ur arses in 10 weeks.the falklands will remain ours forever unless you want another bashing that is

in case you are wondering I am also french algerian if this makes a difference

i was glad to see england go to be honest with you,they were an embarrasment i admit.so don’t think that bothers me.

Hold your chin up high Azzurri fans, forgive their hate & jealousy and celebrate the victory with style!

- Smiling & Proud Italian American -

er french algerian,living in the uk who supports italy?please explain,can’t quite work that one out

pete you are more sad than I thought. why is it that the english can only talk about f….g wars…maybe its because that is all you are good at winning LOL and only with the help of the americans. Is that the best you can do? send me back to my country. Ahhhhhhh how childish you are pete not much immagination have you? lol lol

your not argentinian,not with phrases like that.so your comments are therefore null an void.probably a miserable scottish ‘GIT’(NO ARGIE WOULD EVER KNOW OR USE THE TERM ‘GIT’.

what is there to explain? you think maybe I should be with france? no my ‘friend’ because they are more racist than anyone and I should know. I support italy because my wife is italian and am happy there and their football is the best. Glad to see ur comments about england. i agree with you.

‘celebrate’ victory with style’ but not the performance

Pete, never mind the England football team. YOU are an embarrassment to England and the English people. You, among others here, need to get a life, and perhaps travel the world a bit more. It teaches you how to respect people, try it.

Actually I know the word git because an english friend of mine – I am in london visiting him know – always calls everyone he dislikes gits. Im not sure what exactly it means but know its not nice word. Scottish no but I like them because they hate england.

…….and Italy isn’t racist?you must be joking.In France there is racism yes but nothing nearly as much as Italy or Spain for that matter where it’s a cancer in society

This Blog has gone to crap. Cheers, Gents! See you 2010.

what was that about travel neil?75 p/c of american’s don’t have passports.i can write a book about how ignorant american’s are.i was asked stuff like”is paris the capital of london”?and is it true that lions roam the streets of jo’berg?!!!

seems neil can’t hack it,we won’t see you in 2010 cause you’ll probaly get eaten by lions in jo’berg!they really do roam the streets their

Thanks Neil – I couldnt agree more with you – compliments to Italy who deserved to win and am very happy for them. here in London all italians and italian fans are going mad with joy.
Forget Pete he is not very smart and maybe as you said he doesn’t travel very much and is also a bigot.

yeah lets get out of here and leave the jealous english to talk between themselves or to themselves…bye bye england seems no one wants to listen to your rubbish anymore. Ciao

just love winding you all up.can’t believe you think i’m serious!

if you think that’s a windup in itself then u’ll notice from now on a 90 pc drop in message from the uk cause 90 pc have been me going under different names.broke my leg recently so had nothing better to do at times than wind people up a little,funny really never had the time to ever go on these forums recently.don’t think i will again.the real me by the way is nothing like what pete and dave and rick and jonny and ed and lord knows how many other alias’s i’ve gone under.like i say,u’ll c very few union jacks on this site from now on.well cheerio all,it’s been fun

WORLD CHAMPIONS

RAZZLE YOU ARE A PIECE OF
S H I T! ruud is an amazing player! id like to see you play like him! how DARE you make fun of him! asshole!

HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF ZINADINE ZIDANE THOSE DIRTY ITALIANS!!!!! THE ITALIAN TEAM SUCKS AND IF THEY WER SOOOOO GOOD THEY WOULD HAVE WON BEFORE THE SHOOTOUT DUMBASS THOSE ITALIAN PLAYERS WILL BURN IN HELL

Hilarious SHit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

You do not know soccer, if so you would have said that was the French or of the other teams who dive a lot. The Italian team won the World Cup because they play like a team. 10 diff. players made goals in the World Cup, not a couple of “star players”. I am Italian and have always gone for Italy, even when they lost. Go Juventus!! A lot of countries played with heart and played well, hats off to all the teams that played well together. The U.S. team did look good, they are getting better. I wish the U.S. would back the soccer teams better than they do, remember the women’s U.S. soccer team had a wonderful run and played like champions only to come home to the U.S. to nothing, no victory welcome at the airport like they deserved. Hats off to them as well!! Funny clip, next time choose a team that really takes dives a lot.

Also, the French players should be ashamed of the way some of the players acted. Heading players in the chest, kicking ancles when the refs were not looking, elbos to the face, etc. Yes, before you all point out the one Italian player that gave the elbo to the U.S. players face. That was uncalled for as well. But that was one player, one moment and not ignored by FIFA and the Italian team or Italian fans. The Italian player at least went to the american player after the game and told him he regretted doing it, we will see if the French player does the same. I would hope he would show a little class. He is a dirty player and I hope the French coach will stand up and stop letting him team act like that. I doubt it though, he is that type of coach.

By my calculations,
by the time England wins its 4ths word cup,
Italy will have 16.

16 !!!!!!

eewwww it must really burn your asses to see the green white and red flags all around the globe. I hope you guys all stew in your anger and hatred for the next 4 years !!!!! But untill then, all you get to hear is

i think it’s real!

alex you douchebag, i noticed that you posted from canada. where’s the support for your home nation, or are you like every other moron who doesnt have a passionate nationalistic view of their own country’s football team. yes italy won the world cup, but in no way does that mean they deserve it. they robbed australia by cheating, got past ukraine…. WOW, wasted a whole game trying to beat germany, and won the final on penalties. not to mention the fact that they are hardly the most professional team there. although this video may not be of italy, it paints a pretty good picture of what their training would look like. what i hate are supporters who are blinded from the pathetic antics of their team. italy is by no means the only team that does this… argentina, portgual (especially Christiano Ronaldo) if you like this clip, check out http://www.ihateronaldo.com hopefully it will open your eyes

GO SOCCEROOOOOOOOOOS!!!

Guys you are soo fun to read! Baby kids that are soo mad because you have been ripped off the candy before your eyes!!! How silly!
Well, two years ago Totti was published in all newspapers IN THE PLANET because he spat at a german player during the Champion league game -maybe he wad from denmark, I can’t remember well. The other guy had tormented him over and over during the game. Totti was pointed at like the spoiled brat that didn’t know fairplay and was plainly STUPID for his reaction. He was also kicked out of the game.

As far as I can understand that Materazzi gave him hell, Zidane has been a simple, pure Idiot. He choose to follow a bad moment of temper instead of thinking twice -or three times. That is bad, it was HIS mistake to react in such way. Let’s say Materazzi offended the gracious memory of Zizou’s granmother, couldn’t have he done the same with the memori of MArco’s granpa?? I do not even think he would have made the difference at that point. He gave all that there was to give.
Trezeguet would have kicked the penalty just the same.

The France penalty was dubious, you are right, probably wasn’t even there, but “the ball is round” sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. In one game we won with a dubious penalty and this time the penalty -and the chance- was for France.

France didn’t outplay Italy. If it was like this then France would have won. In the second part of the game, France attacked more, BUT didn’t make it. And Italy’s defence was just great!! I saw banners with the writong ” Cannavaro santo subito!!!”
The penalty kicks are a sort of lottery, all in all it come down to nerves and coldness, and, sorry, the Italians have been colder in this situation.

We had a dinner party in my garden family and friends. We have been suffering all through the games and at some point my husband passed in front of the TV set right before the first goal by Pirlo was scored. We made him pass in front of the TV set for each kick, Italian and France. We declared that we won BECAUSE of my husband!!! My other brother was in the square of our little town along with other 3000 people watching it from the megascreen the comune installed. It was crazy! You should have heard the roar, the fireworks and the carouseling. And we are in the peaceful Tuscany!

So Italy are so great that they have to matchfix their own national league? Asif they deserve the world cup!

re:min rui qing

i dont think so,the vid’s introdution said it is not real,so in my opinion,you just a sad france football fan.

Italy is a beautiful land which has given much to the world. However, they can keep Materazzi. He has a reputation in his own country as a dirty player and was head-butted once before by Shevchenko,with apparent justification; (that referee also did not witness the incident and Shevchenko played on). Apparently, Mazeratti is an agent provocateur, to be polite… Gigi Buffon is a phenomenal goalie, but why was HE complaining vigorously to the ref about the head-butt which he purportedly witnessed from the net? You think he’d be following the progress of the ball, as the ref, who saw nothing, was doing. And I don’t hear anyone making much fuss about Henry’s collision with Cannavaro, but that certainly had me wondering at the time, and more so in hindsight. Zidane, unlike Materazzi, has the reputation of a prince. It’s too bad he allowed himself to be provoked to such uncharacteristic behaviour. Two red cards would have been in order. This said, Italy’s World Cup 2006 rivals the U.S. 2000/2004 elections in its legitimacy.

Something about bukkake…he he. Italy sucks you bunch of diving, whining, ignorant crybabies.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS…..MY FRIENDS….

Forza Italiaaaaaa!!!!!!

Hahahaha Forza Italia and fuck all of you australian pieces os shits. Your anchestor were all fucken prisoners. By the way what are u guys good for, Nothing. We italian built the best cars, food, fashion, wines,cheese, gold,furnisher, we discovered America, and much more so stop fucking being jealous and remember WE WON hahahahahahaha

Its Italia agains the world
Fucken Italian haters

Wow, that video is funny, but hey was not that team the Portugese?! pfffffhehehehe!!!

lol champions of what? being cheating racist bastards? yes probably……..there is no way in the world you deserve that trophy. Sooceroo’s should hold their heads high knowing they kept the “world champions” hahahaa what a fucking joke, anyway they should hold their heads high because they kept italy to 0-0 until that fucking cheating fucker, who scored the winning penalty for italy in the final, took a fucking dive! i could beleive the italian training to be somewhat like this. i laughed pretty hard when zidane head butted that racist fuck! hahahah that was the most exiting part about that final…..very boring. anyways have fun debating.

GOOO SOOCCEROOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we could have won that fucking final, and that is what shits me to tears!

I don’t know why you all get so worked up over it.All these footballers(wankers) get paid way way way to much for doing very very very little.The vast majority are uneducated people who if they weren’t hero worshiped like some of you people do they would struggle to hold down a decent job if they were lucky.I earn a good living but,i,like most of you have to work extremely hard and put up with so much crap for what is a pittance compared to what this lot earn(average of what,10 or 15 mins work per player per game and a couple of hours training each day to keep fit in exchange for up to £130k per week,absolutley outrageous is not a word worthy of describing how disgusting that is).I think their wages should be capped at £5k per week and even that is still outrageous considering a surgeon earns less.When,god forbid,any of us requires the skilled hands of a surgeon to save our lives on the operating theartre,then things will be put into prespective because none of this lot will be there to save you that’s for sure.Stop hero worshipping them and get some reality about what is really important in life.

ENGLAND – I really feel sorry for you. After introducing football as the world now knows it, it’s gotta hurt having claimed only 1 World Championship. Alas sometimes the student, excels beyond the teacher.

FRANCE – too bad, tough loss, a lousy way to end a good run. Materazzi obviously said something so low,cheap and disgusting but Zidane’s probably heard crap like that throughout his career and unfortunately just lost it. No guarantee France would have won even if he stayed in the game. Domenech likely woudl have left Henry and Ribery in had he the foresight to see that happen.

GERMANY – played the most exciting football ever seen by a German squad. Also played with the most dignity and class of any quarter final teams. Plenty to be proud of. I love you guys. Too bad you didn’t got the calls that Italy got against Australia. PETE, thanks for your generous comments of July 8.

PORTUGAL – exciting to the end. That last goal was stellar. Ronaldo – that 2 footed take-off, flat out dive while looking for a call from the ref in mid-air was the funniest thing I ever saw. Watched in slow motion, you looked like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix.

AUSTRALIA – outstanding debut. Bloody brilliant in fact! You were robbed by a clumsy Italian and by a very, very poor call.

ITALY – Congrats. You played well and but the sour moments of your performance will largely overshadow the good. (Cannavaro excepted, he was outstanding throughout)
Unfortunately the Cup doesn’t always go to the most deserving team, which I’m sure you’ll agree when you look back at WC 1994.

Last note – Stop bashing Canada because we love hockey. We are only 30 million people of which 29 million play hockey. Sorry for being so fanatical about it and good at it but our weather here plays a factor in it. Hell if it were 25C every day, or at least 8 months of the year, perhaps we’d have a football team to speak of. But it isn’t so we don’t.

Sure to see you all in 2008.

Gotta love the Aussie team…big motherf’ers who just play. The main thing between the US and Aussie teams and repeatable World Cup success seems to be the ability to roll around like a silly crying bitch any time contact with another player is made. That’s not soccer (football, futbol, whatever), it’s bad porn film acting. Italy has nothing to be proud of. Again, that was not soccer.

Yes i have to agree juerggen,despite my earlier posting i’m gonna make an exceytion in Germany’s case.They were outstandig,the only team who managed to play exciting football while managing to stay on two feet at the same time without crying like a baby,something that almost extinct in this game nowadays.btw people who i’ve spoken to who went to the WC have had nothing but praise and admiration for Germany as a whole,so if anyone is a winner in this tournament it is the Germans.May they have slightly better luck in Euro 2008.(sorry juerggen,still think Ballack is overpaid too no,matter how good a player he is,just in my opinion that is)

FORZA ITALIA!!!!
ITALIA….CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!!!!!!!
THERE IS NO ISCOSE….4 ALL OF U THAT SAY ITALY CHEAT AND HAVE LUCK 2 WIN…KISS MY ASS….THEY ARE CHAMPIONS OF 2006 WHETHER U LIEK IT OR NOT AND ITS BECUASE OF PURE HEART AND SKILL!!!!!!

Some of you people are so arrogant especially the commenters from the U.S. I mean Italy has won 3 WC plus another one this year (correct me if I’m wrong)while the U.S. has won nil. The facts speak for themselves so stop acting like your better than everyone else. Newsflash: you’re NOT!

Luca it really is unimportant,yes well done superb,do you honestly think anybody cares.Is all you have in your life the game of football?bit shallow aren’t you?

And Luca, they will be ridiculed for their “victory” whether you like it or not.

Enjoy your pseudo-championship.

Oh, wait, you’re Australian. Your team lost just like the rest of ours.

How’s that Italian bandwagon? Is it comfortable? Careful, I hear it’s rigged for the wheels to fall off and to explode on impact if it hits a pebble.

The hate pours on.
I love it.

Keep it coming. You have 4 years of this bullshit,

OVERPAID – absolutey NO question there Darren. Whether it’s Ballack, Figo, Zidane, Becks or the rest of the lot. Too bad they don’t contribute a wack of their cash to real role models like teachers or the underfunded schools many of them teach in. Unfortunately, it’s tought to put forth much pride and passion into the education sector. When was the last time you heard someone yell, “HOORAY, my Grade 6 teacher is the best on the planet?” All the same, all pro athletes should do more for their communities (other than building a new pitch to name it after themselves).

Some more interesting statistics.

At the rate with which England is winning world cups,
England will not have 4 world cups untill the year
2234.

To all Italian fans – I’ve already said congrats, but as you can clearly see Italy is getting more than enough negative sentiments. There’s such a thing as being good winners so enjoy your victory but do yourselves a favour. Try to show the same class & style you showed at the Winter Olympics instead of rubbing everyone elses noses in it. People might think more of you rather than less.

frosty
just for you….

WE ARE CHAMPIONS….MY FRIEND

U stupid jelous jerk.

FORZA ITALIA……2006 WORLD CHAMPION.

can you say that?

Yes i agree,it’s getting a little tedious.i mean rather than win with pride you italin’s/italian supporters appear to be deriving more joy out of slating other nation’s.It doesn’t bother us if you won or not but it does bother us that if u’ve reivented the term sore losers to sore winners for some reason.shouldn’t you all still be out partying with your fellow fans than sitting around on this forum with the rest of us cring in our beer?funny how you don’t see the germans moaning,suppose it’s cause they are too busy still celebrating the achievments of thier great country.For that they have our respect which win or lose is everything.

dom,your posting still indicates u r in the UK.looks like the colours have run a bit

Let’s not mince words.

We love the germans and have the utmost respect for them. They take their loss like men. Mostly because they have the confidence of knowing that they have 3 world cups under their belt
3 !!!!!!
That’s what it takes to be a champion, that’s what it takes to have credibility.
3 or more world cups says you are a real winner and you can accept defeat when it’s not your time.

It’s the English we despise. You haven’t won in 40 years yet you still think that what you have to say counts.

Before you can put yourself in the same league as Germany win a few more world cups, then we’ll talk.

damn, Darren! It’s so hard not to love a guy like you with comments like that. you da man!
And don’t forget about the plethora of gorgeous German women. ooh, mamma mia!

Hey how did the Aussie’s like Grosso’s world cup winning penealty kick ????

Something to remember for a lifetime I’m sure….

I agree alex lifeson ,i don’t think England will will the world cup in my lifetime unfortunatly(you never no however!)but if there is the remotest chance that we do,it will be without cheating or diving or any other kind of gamesmanship or racism that would quite frankly make me despise my own national team(ronaldo your servicesas you know are no longer wanted in this country as you obviously already know,good luck Madrid,actually he did very little at utd except showboat,never pass the ball and 99 pc of the time miss the target).Not naming any coutries mind cause they know who they are.

Scuzz
you confusing me with another dom from UK I am in the USA

No dom,definatly a uk flag there.Anybody know how that is possible?wow alex you really do hate us don’t you.Well doesn’t bother me at all,i do love your country very much however,vancouver is one of my favourite cities.

English fans, you honestly have a lot to be proud of.

SCUZZ I’m sure your not dissapointed that Rooney kicked a guy in the nuts on the biggest game of his career.

If that’s what makes an Englishman proud then so be it, you have nothing else to be proud of.

Man, am I feeling the German love now. I’m getting choked up with with all the warm and fuzzies you guys are giving me.
You’re all welcome to all the schnitzel, porkhocks and sauerkraut you can eat. I think I’ll have to go drink a few Kolsch now.

Oh and that wasn’t a dig at the italian’s by the way,i mean’t the cheating in general at the world cup

Did i say i was proud?no,i don’t think so.let me interpret what i mean’t in case you misunderstood,IF WE EVER WON THE WORLD CUP IT WILL IN MY BOOK BE WITHOUT CHEATING ETC OTHERWISE I WILL BE DISGUSTED WITH MY NATIONAL TEAM.as for rooney ur right,he’s a hothead a mooron and a disgrace to his country but he is only one player and WE DIDN’T WIN,we never came close to winning and we didn’t deserve to win

Alex,just curious to know,please list your 10 most hated things about england/the english.

OK SCUZZ, you seem logical.

Did the Italian team deserve to win the world cup this year ?

YES
or
NO

I dont’ want no explanation either.
Just a one word post.
YES
or
NO

U certainly aren’t logical that’s for sure.you don’t seem to know where your loyalties lie.i mean u’ve been harking on about italy all this time and then you suddenly change ur tune by reverting back to Canada all of a sudden,apparently either with a tinge of guilt,or because it suits your cause to bat on thier behalf when someone throws up an insult all of a sudden.i really wonder the origin and true identity of some very dubious people on these sites as’you can look but you can’t see’ if you get my drift.to me the question should be thrown back to YOU.DO YOU SUPPORT CANADA?
YES
or
NO
?

LOL!!

couldn’t say YES could you ?

THAT pretty much sums up everything we hate about the English….

There is no need to defend Canada here or anywhere else in the world for that matter. Canadians don’t claim to be the best in a sport that they don’t have championships to back it up.

Portugal 1
England 0

The highlight of the world cup.

Scuzz,
Just for you I am changing my id so that you dont confuse me with the other dom from UK.
If you look back you can see few of my posts and some from the dom from UK.

anyway….
FORZA ITALIA…2006 World Champions

I wonder how old Alex is,he seems so very immature with his strange comments.Must have had a strange upbringing because he doesn’t know how to communicate in a normal adult,civilised way.tell me my Canadian friends,what do you make of him eh?

SCUZZ,
It burns your ass doesn’t it.

that has made English fans famous around the world !!!!

At least we won tidly winks!not joking the english tidly winks team are tiddly winks world champions.that’s our major sport,tidly winks!!!!!!

actually it made us turn very much to the dark side of the force.david beckham is to be Darth Beckham and will seek to destroy the universe in order to find a planet where england can play against a team of aliens,that we we may have at least a 50/50 chance of winning the galactic cup.unless the italian galactic rebels come looking for the same planet in which case we’ll lose yet again oh no please it’s too much to take!

to all here, thanks for your hate, envy, and thanks to zidane for his criminal attack. thanks to england, for showing the best soccer humans can remember. and yes: its 4****

Hey SCUZZ,

Wasn’t it a nice thing to see all of the Italians taking over the streets of England in celebration ???

And all you could do is grit your teeth and watch ?

Zidane’s Penalt Shoot Out!

I wonder if the refree wanted “ITALY” to win their fourth world cup trophy. I can’t see any sign to prove or show if that was a foul. In this world cup many refree had been bitter to cause many teams fall. Whatever happens Zidane behaviour can not be accepted they he did it. There are people for to resolve their dispute rather than to let down the French team like what he did. I hate to see a refree making such favors to a team.

Please watch how a beautiful equalize for the Italian’s team. The penalts too for Italy were so brilliantly done.

Many of the FIFA refree are untrained. They lack a lot to keep the games be entertaining.

Special thanks goes to Germany as a nation to so well organize all the matches. This was a very peaceful world cup though some crashes of football fans were met.
Please South Africa in 2010 must learn more on how Germans did. One of the issue they must look into it seriously is about the refrees.

Eough from me today!
Kabbe-Sweden.

Italy won the WC with their two best players (Totti and Nesta) off the field.
This goes to show that Italy has a better team sitting on the bench than most teams do on the field.

Where is Bedford located anyhow ?

To sum of all this up italians are bitches who dive, grown men rolling around on the ground like little bitches give me a break, they may have won the world cup but they showed they have no integrity and i have lost all respect for italian soccer

hat gyerekek, ezt a videot mar az EB alatt is nyomtak, szerintem bullshit az egesz, mindenki csinalja. akinek nem tetszik hogy az olaszok nyertek, az elmehet a bus picsaba, jok voltak, a homoki nigger Zidane meg faszan feltette a pontot a karrierje vegere ezzel. bukákkéj!

John
Can you say Italy 2006 World Champions?
I can and I will for the next 4 years…..shit thats a long time….

Forza Italia……

Hey WOW, Frooti-Tooti played in all 7 matches and did what?

Oh yea, he scored 1 goal on a free kick thanks only to Grosso’s clumsiness and a ref who should have been redcarded and sent home for that ridiculous call.

Calling him one of your best players is completely asanine and an insult to the likes of Cannavaro and Pirlo.

Think a little harder before you write something so utterly stupid next time.

no he can’t.

That’s why we all hate the English !!!

DOES anyone know what the hell Gaga said?
Translation please.

My, my, the Planet is a bitter place. Come on people, put aside your hate (envy?) of the Italians and give Lippi & Co. credit for winning the World Cup. Guys like Buffon, Cannavaro, Pirlo, Toni, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Del Piero, Grosso & Totti et al. seem pretty likeable. They busted their butts out there. It was their year, 24 years in the making….
P.S. My recollection was more elbows being thrown at Italians than vice versa, and I recall handshakes and hugs from Italian players to the French. Seems many of the criticism on here against Italians is unfounded factually, and just juvenile bigotry.
Tammy, did you think Zidane was a “Prince” when he stomped on that Saudi Arabian fellow in 1998? just curious!

One of the biggest laughs on here (and there are many) is that some Aussies are still fuming over that game where they couldn’t get a shot on net with 11 players vs. Italy’s 10 for more than 50% of the match…. and continue to defend Neill’s clumsy defense when replays show he actually grabbed Fabio Grosso’s foot, even if Grosso over-exxaggerated his fall. (Watch it again). Didn’t Malouda take a nice dive yesterday too, which led to Zidane’s PK in the 6th minute? Yup. NewsFlash: Players tend to “dive” when they’re challenged in the box, it’s standard. Aussies, please, we all love you and your rugby, and Outback steaks, Nicole Kidman etc…. but just walk away quietly with dignity, like we Americans did. We know our place: Baseball, American Football, Basketball, Hollywood and War.

okay my take on it is as an american i do not care since my team was eliminated early. but i appreciate good sport. from the viewpoint of someone who knwos little about the sport, i enjoyed watching italy, argentina, and germany the most. they just seemed so passionate about their team, i don’t know. either way, it was a fun diversion for a month. now back to our wonderfully boring baseball season here in the states help us bring soccer here!!!

Boy they built some nice stadiums in Germany especially for the Azzurri.

Thanks to Germany for spending all of that time and effort fabricating such a special party just for Italia !!!!

I think GAGA said that the soap in Germany was of extra special quality.

Yeah i do,he was racially abused in 02 also.what would you do if somenone said something disgusting about your children or parents eh?Well done zidane,should have hit him harder so he’d never have got up again.bedford’s a bit of a shithole,they feel at home there

I sat next to my friend yesterday, who absolutely HATES Italy. He’s a soccer buff and tells me that the Azzurri don’t play “exciting” soccer. But then when he started saying that guy Ziddane didn’t deserve a Red Card, well then that’s when I knew he’just full of sh**. I think a lot of you on here are the same- your views are tainted by bias. I agree with Catherine, it was a fun “diversion.” Enough said you guys new blog please.

Elena your wating your time with em all,they aren’t gonna stop just look at the little lad Alex,his mama let’s him play all night on the computer.can you imagine if the muslim world could see this?they’d be thinking about all the carnage they have caused and all we do is turn on each other.yes us lot living in the civilised world from mainly christain origins just waiting for the next western flag to turn on with a hate and spitefulness which is familiar to there islamic madness.christ why don’t some of you go and live in iran and get off stoning people and terrorising the world.i bet they wouldn’t turn on each other like you lot have,if i was one of em looking at these comments i’d be loving every moment

We genereally dislike France here. How that country, and Chirac, make ZZ a God is spectacularly ironic. Their country and government treat Muslims as 3rd Class people, as if glorifying ZZ makes up for it. Resorting to physical violence from verbal provocation shows lack of self-control and low intelligence. And France honors that?? A better man would have walked away, scored the winning goal, and laughed in Italy’s face. Instead Italy got the last laugh, and the Cup.

SCUZZ,

spoken like a true WASP.

Capello is an absolute coward and a sham.Talk about the captain sneaking off onto the 1st lifeboat FIRST and leaving behind all the crew without so much as a thankyou and goodbye while they are succesfully winning the world poker tournament down below in the ships flooding bowels unbeknown to them that there lord and master has done a runner leaving them to sink or swim.Fine gentleman he turned out to be.having said that,that’s just the italian way.sneaky and dishonest as the ailing clubs will find out wedensday…great!

oh you can count to 4 little alex,well done

This is for you the Australian and US soccer fans.
If you cant understand how your national teams cannot make it at World cups listen to this. FOOTBALL was born in Europe and raised in South America. The top players of all times were and are from these continents. 99 percent of them were from very poor families. The only toy they had was a rotten football and the only dream to became good at playing with it just to survive.Just check PELE,BEKENBAUER, MARADONA, ZIDAN, RONALDHINIO, RONALDO etc .They all were poor and had a ball on their feet from since they could walk as babies.Unfortunatelly FOOTBALL cant be learnt in fancy stadiums and expensive trainning yards.

PS Australia played well but didnt have the experience. If you want to win you cant play always fair. FOOTBALL is a streetborn game amd sometimes has street rules.

what’s also amazing quite frankly is that if all you north american’s love italy so much why don’t you go and live there and take ur chances(not a pretty site at the moment,’the sick man of europe’ it’s been recently been dubbed by the financial sector.no good having the world cup and no job to go with it,still they can always sell it on ebay to make good i suppose)?i’m sure most TRUE north american folks would be glad to see the back of you traitor’s.

I’m italian on both sides and i was ecstaic to see italy win yesterday but my loyalties lie with both england where i was born and italy so to answer your quetion adam,most english people with italian heritage in the uk i would say are generally 50/50 in there support when it comes to football(though i sway slightly more towards england,just slightly though)however if you asked me how i feel inside pursey,i would say english 1st but with italian flavouring.can’t really speak on behalf of our friends from across the ocean however,that’s down to them.hope that answers your question mate.

oh and adam,if you support Arsenal or know of anyone who does,how the hell do i get my hands on a season ticket for next season.been on the waiting list for 2 years and even with the new emirates stadium ready still can’t even get close!they should have moved to the new wembley with it’s 90,000 capacity.still if you know please let me know ok?

sorry can’t help you on that one,i’m a man utd supporter and as such we’re not supposed to fraternise with our sworn arch enemy!!!er no seriously mate why don’t you try ebay or if your prepared to pay top whack ticketmaster ‘ll av em.I almost missed out too cause i left it late even with old trafford being expanded to 80,000.what do you think ur chances are next season anyway?

Arin,

You epitomise the word, ‘FOOL’. In the dictionary when I look up that word, there should be a picture of you and people as ignorant as you. Who are you kidding that Australia could have won the World Cup Final? Is this what you tell yourself at night before you go to sleep to make yourself feel better? Australia played in their first World Cup since 1974 and you think you bowl up and win the world cup, just like that. There is a reason why Italy beat Australia and let me explain it to you simply so that your mediocre mind can absorb it. In 4 games, Australia had 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. The win was against Japan. It was a great last ten minutes by the Australian team against Japan but let’s face it, Japan is hardly the most difficult team out there. In their group, Australia finished on 4 points. Even taking the Italy game out of the equation, Australia conceeded 5 goals in 3 matches. During the course of the World Cup, Italy played 7 matches and conceeded two goals. It’s very simple math- what don’t you understand about it? Italy didn’t win the world cup because of diving nor did they win the world cup by cheating. They won because they didn’t let the other team score. You see Arin, in the game of football, you also have to keep the ball out of your own net and this is achieved (not through diving) but through exceptional defending. Italy won the World Cup and they deserved it.

in the league?i think with a couple more decent signings like saviola up front with thierry,possibly gatusso in midfield if milan get relegated(sorry,my second team,team of my parents)cause he’s said he wants to desperatly play in the premiership(his wife is british apparently)and another decent defender,i think we’ll give chelski a game.hopefull this time we’ll win the champions league instead of runners up,we’ll see.how about yourselves?

In a word or two?no chance.i think the malcom the glazor should get shot of fergie and put lippi in charge now,then get rid of dead wood like van,ronaldo,fletcher(what a waste of money he’s been)and smith(crap even when he’s good)and buy in their place torres(even if he will be inxs of £40 million pounds,crazy money)lennon(best english player by far)riquelme and senna.now we’re talking

Wreckon that’ll cost you getting close to 100 all told,still with the chelski’s about that’s pretty much what you have to spend to have a chance these days.lucky you Adam we only have a £40 million transfer kitty!!

All the best Alesandro and by the way.congratultions to Italy.thought they were very good

Thanks,let’s hope for Italy vs England 2008,THAT WAY I CAN’T LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!cu next season.

The only winners in this whole tounament have been Germany,the Germans and Germany as a country.How’s about that for a gold,silver and bronze!!!

Danke Deutchland xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Germany will always have a place in my heart.how on earth did we ever have a war with you guys,we are so alike in our mentality,i love you all

America salutes you guys!

Why do so many americans on this site hate Australia. Like you we have a few lefty scum (like that marco bitch) but most of us are rational people.

[deleted]

there just trying to bait you so they can get a action.i suggest you ignore them.how many italian’s have moved to australia and how many in the opposite direction?
enough said

fuck you and all the other sunday-soccer-fans of the world.

france deserved to lose, that’s it. They could have nailed us in the 2nd half, sure … did you see any goal?

and what about our POST in the first half?? forgot that too?

we’ve been a fortress. Someone who doesn’t admire defensive player is someone who never played football in his life.
Zidane lost it by frustration, (check his past record of red cards please)

and their penalty was ridiculous.

we get out of this with 2 goals conceded: a self-goal and that bastards’ shit penalty.
we were a TEAM, not a collection of stars. You can have your Beckham shit I keem my azzurri where 10different players (!!!) scored in the whole WChampionship. 10 !!!!

dixit

Why do they Australians hold Rugby as the standard by which all other sports should be meausured? Scott’s comparison of rugby to football is inept and misses the point, akin to comparing the athletics of a basketball player to a tennis player. Completely different sports, skill sets, athletic requirements, formations, strategies, etc. etc….

Does any footballer or football fan really care what some rugby player considers to be ’sportsmanship’ or ‘athleticism’? Doubtful.

Each and every player in W.C. 2006 from every country is a world-class athlete in my opinion and deserves the respect for his hard work and training to get him to where he is. The ability to maneuver a ball with your feet with the way these guys do and run practically full speed for over an hour and a half is amazing, with or without the dives and acting. A dive is a penalty by the way. It’s up to the Ref to call it.

Zidane reacted not through frustration you mooron,what,you think somenone reacts in that way cause of frustration?that other player made some awful racist slur towards his mother who is very sick at the moment sick,he defended his family instantly and is to be applauded for it,he din’t cheat,he did it blatantly knowing the consequences and knowing it would easily be seen by all because blood is thicker than water(or football in this case)what if he had said “hope that bastard pessotto dies and burns in hellfire”
i’m not a great fan of football,rugby is my sport(to which england are the current world champions btw)but in rugby you don’t cheat you don’t go down like a sack of potatoes and cry,it’s a man’s sport as my old sports teacher use to say”right lads next term it’s football the fairies game”in rugby YOU STAY ON YOUR FEET YOU NEVER EVER SHOW THE OPPOSITION THAT U ARE HURT EVEN IF YOUR ALMOST DEAD TO GROUND,YOU NEVER LET THEM THINK THEY HAVE PYSICALLY HURT YOU.as Brian Moore the great former england captain stated,he said in all his career in rugby,only one time,ONE TIME did he ever see anything that looked remotley by what in rugby standards could be called cheating and that was in a game against france when a french player went down under a very very hard tackle that would put wimpy footballers in hospital for a week,he stayed down for a minute before the french captain came over and said to him “GET UP YOU GIRL”!one occasion when i use to play for a pub side we had a new zealander on our team,during a scrum he got kicked LITERALLY in the balls,subsequently he ripped open his scrotem but when asked to come off all he said to us was “FUCK THAT MATE,I STAY”
and there lies the difference between a man’s game and a wimps

Italian ??
训练很精彩…

Sarah dear,if your gonna post something on this site please try to explain what your talking about in a way we might all understand,what kind of dumb message is that above?

Scott,
Zidane is and has always been a scumbag, go check his record. He was offended he could have insulted Materazzi mother who past away recentily and everytime he scored he raised his finger to the sky.
Or kick him in play but what he did is unfogivable. As person ZIDANE IS A SCUMBAG not that Materazzi is a saint but that is always been part of the game play with your opponent head you should know if you have ever playied any sport.

“”"My, my, the Planet is a bitter place. Come on people, put aside your hate (envy?) of the Italians and give Lippi & Co. credit for winning the World Cup.

This is what Dan from Thailand wrote above: “FUCK ALL ITALIANS.. BLOODY LIARS, CHEATERS, MAFIA, BAD MOUTH BASTARDS, FUCK YOUR OWN MOTHERS AND SISTERS! FUCKING ITALY IS A CESS POOL, FULL OF FUCKING LOWLIFES… THE FOOTBALLERS LOOK LIKE HOOLIGANS OR MAYBE THEY ARE PART TIME DOPE DEALERS OR PIMP THEIR OWN MOMS AND SISTERS…FUCK YOU ITALY”

Dan, I hope you burn in hell, you miserable scumbag. Fancy talking about pimps and dope dealers when you come from Thailand! That is probably the most misguided comment I have ever read in my entire life. What has Thailand contributed to football and moreover, what do you know about it? They’ve never even made the World Cup. On that note, what has Thailand contributed to the world either? Green Curry?

You have no understanding about anything, least of all football. Do you even know how much of Italy is comprised by the Mafia. Let me explain something to you ignoramus. In Italy, there are about 57 million people. The Mafia (which exists in the south of Italy) has less than 5000 members. You do the math. Instead of slamming Italy, why don’t you look at the achievements of one of history’s most successful countries. Along with England, France, Germany, Spain and in modern times, possibly the U.S and Japan….there are no other countries that have contributed culturally or socially more than Italy. No one needs to comment on food, fashion or cars, because they go without saying. But what about the more subtle contributions such as Art (Michaelangelo and Da Vinci), Music (opera and most orchestral words), literature (Dante and Leopardi) and the list goes on. And of course, football, which they have now won more times than any country other than Brazil.

And before you say, who cares about opera and things like that, maybe you should look at yourself and realise something, DAN from THAILAND…. you’re an uncultured piece of shit. The Italian Team don’t look like a bunch of hooligans. Clearly, you’re not a woman because some of my female friends haven’t been using the word HOOLIGAN in reference to guys like Buffon, Cannavarro, Totti, Pirlo and Luca Toni. I scent a bit of jealousy in your tone DAN!

Forza Italia.

Congratulations on winning the World Cup. And hats off to all the other teams who actually participated in the World Cup. That in itself is an achievement.

Dan, go and play with bamboo sticks!

LoL

Like i said if you care to read a bit closer u will notice i played rugby,that is MY sport and while there is banter invilved OF a good nature there is none of the racist biggotry remarks that that horrible little coward came out with.we play hard very hard but we also play fairly and that goes for every rugby nation.when you go to a rugby game you get a very different kind of supporter,it is very family oriented and orderly and we all have a great time without any of the slanging that i see on this forum cause some of you i can only sumise seem to be about as poorly educated as your average football player,unlike rugby players who tend to be from a university background on the whole.check out the rugby forums,i promise you that any comments posted like the ones above would be removed the moment you left click.it just wouldn’t be tolerated.oh and don’t forget,the world cup for us rugby fans begins next year in France,can’t wait.hope some of you take a look,it’ll put you off football for ever.

There seems to be a lot of people calling themselves italian,with english names and from english speaking countries.Mmmm i wonder?

Y Griffiny does not condone any of these racist posts – Well done those people who were intelligent enough to add something interesting to the conversation other than the stinking moonface so-called patriots.

http://www.freewebs.com/ygriffiny/index.htm

how’ everybody doing?see all the euphorea hype has died down and that the dumb italian’s have realised there is more to life than a game of football,novelty don’t last long.the rest of us get’s on with our lives,works hard to prosoper and move up the property ladder while the italian’s have to go back to their miserable lives and actually try and find a job in their godforsaken country which while they’ve been drinking their chianti has taken yet another dive today i see in the financial times.and tommorrow their clubs shall be no more.
“the future ain’t bright.the future ain’t red white n green that’s for sure”!

GO EUOROPE GO,WE LOVE OUR CULTURE’S AND WE ARE ONE TOGETHER

Pete your too dumb to realize that ARAS was insinuating that YOU are the RACIST.

YOU and ONLY YOU.

READ YOUR OWN POSTS ABOVE IF YOU NEED MORE EVIDENCE.

DUMMY !!!

Thanx john,your correct,no further comments required,you’ve said it all beautifully.Oh if your around the canary wharf area tommorrow after work at around 7,i’ll be in the Dickens Inn mate,if your in n that vacinity that is!Drinks are on CS.

RACIST AGAINST YANKS AND CANADIAN’S MAYBEE YES.

like i said my comments were just for a bit of fun.HIS WERE RACIST DUMMY!!!!CHRIST YOU NORTH AMERICAN’S ARE SO IGNORANT,NO WONDER THE WORLD DESPISES YOU SO MUCH.THANK CHRIST FOR EUORPE AND OUR WONDERFUL CULTURE WHICH YOU LOT ARE SO JEALOUS OF.

And Pete, you are the ugly side of England. I feel sorry for an otherwise great country that has to claim you as there own.

Chianti…..What a wonderful recognition of Italian culture you have.

You’re a jealous fool!

FUCK YOU

What an intelligent comeback!

Matthew 14:23

I think the fact that they conquered through and WON the final against the cheating french – yes, they are the worst offenders – proves that the Azzuri truly are the Champions of the world!!! FORZA ITALIA XXX

Pete you are not English.

You are an embarrasement to our people.

Stop posting this racial crap and get on with your life.

ARAS, very nice post, you just may have taught him a lesson.

for pete, don’t talk about NA “YOU NORTH AMERICAN’S ARE SO IGNORANT,NO WONDER THE WORLD DESPISES YOU SO MUCH.THANK CHRIST FOR EUORPE AND OUR WONDERFUL CULTURE WHICH YOU LOT ARE SO JEALOUS OF.”
alot of people hate the states true but don’t lump in canada with them, two completely different cultures! (By the way, if everyone hates the states so much then stop asking for foreign aid)
and Europian culture, you mean some europian cultures that legalize drug use in the “drug parks” and legalizes prostitution?
give me a break, drop your superior attitude because you make a fool of yourself, this blog is about soccer/football, the only prob. I had with the WC was all the diving, shoulda renamed it “Blue Shirt Down”, it was pathetic

and if it weren’t for the states you’d all be hailing hitler, a product of europian culture, so shut up you uninformed little bitch

Of course Pete, I’m incredibly jealous of your culture! After all, shitty food, horrible teeth, and inbreeding have a lot to offer. After all, we’re all ignorant yanks. By the way, in case you skipped grammar in school, let me review a few simple rules. You despise “North American’s [sic].” However, the appostrophe is only used in cases of posession, such as, “That pile of foreign investment is the North American’s.” Plural lacks an appostrophe, such as, “Why do I suck so much in comparison to the North Americans?” While I don’t have an answer (though I presume it has a lot to do with the lack of intelligence and heavy prominence of inbreeding) for the second question, I can tell you that rather that making excuses, hating people for proving you wrong, and generally being an ass, you should instead direct your anger towards the piss-poor performance of your national team. After all, this is the soccer forum. Perhaps you’d find the KKK forum more to your liking. Cheers.

Before you say anything, yes, I know there is only one “p” in “apostrophe.” My p key sticks, a result of spilt beer from celebrating the Italian’s (there’s that posessive I mentioned previously) victory.

Oh excuse me, it’s a plural posessive (we’re getting into advanced grammar here), so it should be “the Italians’ victory.”

Interesting winding you people up because that’s all it is a wind up,i’m loving every minute reading your responses,keep em coming si vous plait

oh and kyle.i don’t waste my time proof reading my dialogue seeing this is just a pretty meaningless forum,i mean it’s not like i’m tendering for a contract or something.no that’s for the day job.i just type at 100 mph click and go,besides i was waiting for the proverbial’s regarding the selling etc!anyhow must go now,got to catch a flight to my second home in frigliana where it’s warming up nicely and the berrs getting colder by the minute.all the best everyone see you in a week perhaps,bye xxxxxxxx

so racist remarks are just a hobby for you? wow, you really are a loser, get back to your minimum wage job jack ass, the fries need shaking

To the person who mentioned that the UK would be under Hitler if it were not for the Americans,that may have been the case,though we’ll never know i guess.But please don’t try to take all the credit for saying you saved the day.Unfortunatley it’s hollywood tack like Private Ryan that gives that incorrect impression.I don’t wanna go on about the war and add jingoism here because it will end up glorifying it but the British suffered in every way for their stubborn resistance not to give into the nazi regime and we lost many more lives than the Americans did who of course we are eternily grateful to this day for their help but please don’t refute the facts about world war 11 and twist them just because you take a dislike to the person who above who may have said something you don’t like.Anyhow this is a football forum not a political rostrum.let’s stick to disgussing football can we?
let me try one.Should Manchester United sell Cristiano Ronaldo or sell now bearimg in mind he only just signed a new contract six months ago.I say they should sell him and replce him with joaquim of Betis.Any thoughts?

actually it’s not the fries,it’s the burgers that are burning.oh and in a month i may even be promoted to head of shakes!!

by the way chris,very interesting reading your earlier comments farther up the page,certainly malicious,definatley racist oh and there are quite a select number of grammatical errors i see ergo you should come and work with me at McPete’s.may let you lick the stamps for the post.gotta go the damn burgers are burning again…..oh shit!

You people are taking all this much too seriously,i’ve looked back at pete’s comments and though i don’t agree with much he says they are not racist goodness me.he’s just teasing the italian’s a little.god i’m english and we probably get more stick and hatred towards us than anyone.look at some of your own comments for example but hey i just laugh it off it’s actually quite amusing but then again we take the piss out of our selves and nation more than anyone.I’ll give you my interpretation of racism “F****** ARAB,YOU THE SON OF A TERRORIST WHORE”.

Oh and darren i can’t stand united so yes i hope he styas if that makes sense(think u’ll understand the meaning)

thanks,maybee materazi can join me and my friend and new colleague Chistopher in Mcpete’s er let me see,chris is in charge of licking stamps,i know i’m on the shakes so mati can have my job on burgers and fries though he must refrain from insulting the customers cause they get very upset and are extremely sensitive to certain remarks

Pete = Scuzz

he can always,do the janitorial duties should he wish!

jp MY SON ASK FOR ANOTHER KINGDOM FOR THAT WHICH I LEAVE IS TOO SMALL FOR ME.

smart guy jp scuzz,no job for him at McPete’s he’s over qualified(excuse me a moment,CHRIS YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE LICKING THE STAMPS NOT HER)

Every goal the Italians made was spectacular. Nobody could score against them. All the countries that are calling foul that Italy won the World Cup are jealous crybabies!

i’m just happy pete hasn’t insulted my mother or sister otherwise i would have had to head-butt his little British ass. The French say it’s okay to do that, and the French are always right. Didn;t those morons sell us the Louisiana Purchase, the greatest American Land Grab in history?

LOL
What a sad exit for Zizou. Any athletes on here? I can’t remember one game in any sport I’ve played where there HASN’T been a mother/sister diatribe thrown around. It’s standard trash talk. That guy doesn’t deserve the Golden Ball, he deserves a Golden Diaper.

thats sweet. fucka italia.

I think that if the italians were good for real they wouldn’t get so many players from brazil and Argentina for their local teams.

that’s cause your an idiot.
Every league has foreign players.

The New York Yankees, despite winning 26 World Championships, are always considered “lucky”….no one ever gives them credit. All these wacky comments about Italy being lucky reminds me of that.
Unsurprisingly, luck always seems to follow those who work and prepare more than the others. My impression is that Marcello Lippi was the Best Coach and had his guys more disciplined, ready, and enthusiastic than had any other coach. They embodied a true team spirit, unselfishly distributing goals. I’m glad they won instead of that rag-tag group from France.

Chris chris,burgers need flipping.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

fourth cup bitches…fourth cup. in your face haters of italy! WE WON, you DIDNT. face the facts, were the best team in the world and by winning we prooved it. italy has finally done the job, and silenced critics around the world. zidane is suchhhh an idiot. i dont care what any of you guys say, ive been playing soccer for 19 years, at competitive levels, traveling all over the world, and have dealt with shit on the field. clearly zidane has dealt with 10x more shit i have…and for him to do what he did, what a fucking tool with no temperence. buddy its a game, insults are part of the game.
if anyone remmbers zidane has trampled over players and has headbutted a player before and red cards are normal for him. We all know your an old bag now zidane but leave the headbutting to bulls. you completely fucked up your ending to your career, no wonder what critic or newspaper writer says…YOUR NO HERO, your a fag with a bad temper. moving on, materazzi is a champ and always will be. Cannavaro deserves the mvp of the tourney NO DOUBT….clearly zidane dosnt deserve it consdering he got 2 red cards in the game, and barely carried his team through the group. Cannavaro however had to control the whole back of defence withour his trusty nesta. he was always smiling, always playing 150 percent, alwasy there stopping every forward and even sent gildarino on a breakway in the germany game which led to a perfected goal by delpiero. Bottom line folks: ITALY IS THE BETTER TEAM. ITALY WILL ALWAYS BE THE BETTER TEAM, AND ITALY ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

p.s henry is a stupid fake

p.s.s vince menndez knows what hes talking about

Love you Christina…..Forza Italia
2006 WORLD CHAMPIONS…..* * * *

Hola Christina, I live in Miami so let me know when you come down here this winter along with the rest of Canada
I’m not italian, I was rooting for USA, Argentina & The Netherlands to be honest. But this World Cup made me a big fan of the Azzurri.

Soccer is just naitonalism with a ball.

Its not racisism if its just stating a fact and its long been known that europians dive in all sports, thats what their known for, ask anybody (hate to see what NFL-Europe is like)
and you don’t flip burgers with a masters degree biotch.
score one for the good guys!

Christina, you are the coolest!

Socceroos get snubbed by FIFA Rankings. LOL LOL

oh and heres a little somehting for all the italians out there

here is an insight for all of you who still think Grosso dived against australia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2PgG8j0gyQ&search=grosso%20australia

he wouldve scored if Neil hadnt been there.

then look at Malouda’s dive. Now that, my friends, is a dive. Materazzi doesnt even touch him. No one does…

This is all you need:www.ironmaiden.com

Seems chris is busy studying for his grade 1 english exam.may take him a while to find out the answer to your question pete being has he obviously can’t speel.tis doubtful he’ll know it!

Niether can i for that matter!!!!

hey there pete
you are posting comments non stop…hmm you posted 5 msgs in a row, and have been posting every day. if anything maybe you should go get a job, get some of that time off your hands. oh and by the way morons is spelt with one “o”.

spell much?

viva la france.. italy sucks

who the hell wants an arts degree, I’m science biotch (and if you don’t know what a biotch is then you really are a biotch, besides I never insulted your grammatical errors that was someone else biotch, now I gotta go back to my house and put some water in pete’s mommas dish)

kelsey, dont hate italy because were better than france, hate zidane for losing the game

LET THE SALE COMMENCE!!!!!!!!

AHHHHH fair enough Christopher i’ll let you off but i only speak english not rap english.are you black?not that i have anything against blacks pursey,i hate rap crap which is what that term sounds like mind.

Well i feel sorry for the supporters of the four clubs relegated(effectively that does include milan with thier 15 point deduction and european expulsion)also it won’t be the same next season in europe without them all and as a man u supporter i’ll miss the possibility of a meeting with our great euro rivals juve,of which there has always been a mutual respect and friendship between the two clubs.however,however that said they had to be punished and punished hard because what they did was literally criminal,scandalous and has tarnished thier once good names forever.juve are effectively now finished at least i estimate for the next 5 years.i do think milan got off lightly but they too are gonna be a bit in the wilderness for the next 2 years at least.about 90 per cent of the 1st team of each of the four clubs will move on to seek pastures new,mainly to spain and england and serie A will now be on a par with the french league and a bit behind the bundesliga.again i feel for the fans cause they are the innocent parties in this whole mess,but like anyone caught doing something they shouldn,t the clubs have still got to pay for what they did.make no mistake we are talking the biggest sporting scandal ever by far.LESSON TO BE LEARN’T FOR ALL CLUBS HERE EVERWHERE.BE XAREFUL CAUSE IT’LL CATCH UP WITH YOU EVENTUALLY.

brizil is the best america sucs

bless him

They dont have Ribery for France

Let’s be clear folks: If it were David Beckham who had insulted Zizou’s mother and sister in a World Cup final and Zizou head-butted him, no doubt the world would be calling for revocation of Zizou’s Golden Ball award and rushing to Beckham’s defense.

Just because Materazzi is an unpopular individual, the media give Zizou a free pass to do whatever he pleased to “protect the honor of his mother and sister”.

This is pure “bollocks” as pete would say, and proves that Zizou’s head-butt was and is unjustifiable. We evidently live in a hypocrytically violent world, but we know that.
- vince

no they wouldn’t cause he’s english vince.he’d probably be banned for 5 years,byt i here what tour saying,most certainly the rules apply differently to certain individuals just like the political spectrum with certain countries recieving greater immunity than others.if you have an earthquake in frisco killing 66 people it goes 7 days front page coverage.in china for you coul have 200,000 and it would be lucky in some circles of the media to make a page 7 footnote for a day but that’s just how it is.some countries are sexier than others n u don’t get more sexy than the united states.like you say i say vince.bollocks and DOUBLE BOLLOCKS TO THE LOT OF EM!

still there?! I’m impressed, thought this would be closed now the world cup is over.
I said before the final I’d support both Italy and France. and I have. I’m happy Italy won. Fair and square, no matter what they think here in France. I do not think Zidane would have changed anything in 10 minutes. I just wish he had not spoiled his “au revoir” to the public. I won’t judge him though. I still think he’s a a real champion.
Insulting Zidane, Henry will not take you anywhere. they are champions. no need to prove anything to ANYONE. real football players do respect themselves. There is a problem now between zidane and materazzi, but french and italian players have shown respect to the opposite team.
we should all do the same.

italy rocks dude

closed?should be confined to the garbage bin where it belonds

Pete, fly to the U.S.A. I want to show you how American girls rock.

god lmighty fiona,tell me more babe?

p…email me thru myspace….i dont want to chat on this soccer page! my profile…..

ttyl

canadian girls are the shit

God, now I know why I don’t follow soccer!

Some of you guys are sooooooooo touchy.

It is a comedy video, FCOL. It is a lighthearted jibe at the fact Italians are notorious for diving. Even I know that and I don’t follow soccer that much.

Interesting how all the Italians scream how racist and anti-Italian it is when one of the Italian players resorted to racist comments to get a French player sent off.

C’mon guys, if someone posted a vid showing supposed English players training to miss penalties would you all scream it was anti-english racism?

Get a few lives and go and watch beach volleyball if you can’t take a joke.

PS, don’t bother slagging me off for being Polish, I aint. Also, I’m not American but US guys, if anyone throws rugby in your face, tell ‘em to can it cos USA holds the Olympic champiuonship for rugby (if you don’t believe me, check out Olympic history).

The same italian crybabies have no trouble coming up with equally nasty jokes about other teams (the French, the Brazilians, yadayadayada) so all the whiners on this thread a bunch of bigtime idiot hypocrites.

Oh and people: YOU ROOT FOR WHOEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO ROOT FOR!!! STOP TRYING TO IMPOSE THESE MORONIC ARTIFICIAL NATIONALISTIC CRITERIA FOR WHO PEOPLE SHOULD ROOT FOR! Plenty of American expats living abroad continue to root for their home teams — and that’s their right! Stop imposing your own xenophobic prejudices on people — as if national boundaries and national sentiments can be artificially rearranged according to your own preconceptions about who people “should” and “should not” root for. Grow the hell up!

nobody else bothers taking part trev,that’s why

Hey Trev,
Your absolutely right, people should relax a little.

Prior to the world cup I think it would have been perfectly appropriate to post a video of a group of germans being trained to install showerheads in the new stadiums.

Hi Pete, I’m assuming you mean the rugby. Apparently it was removed from the Olympics in 1928 and the US were the last champions.

Much as it grieves me to give credit to the US for sporting triumph I have bad memories of doing rugby at school and enjoy irritating the rugby people with the fact.

You should watch a little better how much Malouda has been touched by Materazzi during the penalty action…and I know that surely Materazzi told something worst to Zidane, but this is not wrestling, this is football. Sorry, soccer.
However:
1- Learn to play soccer, before speaking
2- We are the world champions
3- We are the world champions
4- We are the world champions
5- We are the 4 times world champions.
6- You are not able to play FOOTBALL.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhh albertooo

soccer is all one big act over half the time!!!

alberto,how’s life in serie b?let’s face it italian football(the most boring there is)IS DEAD.

Pete,

Your last few comments have been deleted as they were unnecessarily offensive.

Please show a bit more respect, stop throwing insults around and keep it to football. Otherwise your comments will continue to be deleted.

Armand,

Your comments were only deleted because they were part of the argument with Pete, no offence intended.

he made a joke about the world trade centre catastrophe and you defend his comments and not mine?are you sick to daryl?pc bollocks

double standards too,shove ur site up ur tight arse mate

daryl my comment was intended to show how offensive this video/blog and all of the comments below it are to me and others like me by posting something that may be equally offensive to you.

It also happened to be a great way to expose this “so called” innocent humour. It would be nice for everyone to read the comments posted by PETE shortly after I posted mine, to see how innocent and harmless his joking is. But now it’s gone. Oh well, let the bashing continue, I’m certain that Daryl will leave only the ones he agrees with such as:

“what a disgrace the italians are… a sad excuse for a soccer team and a said excuse for human beings.. we should have known the filthy filthy wogs would find away to rort us..just like they rort their way into our country.. ”

Not offensive or innapropriate at all according to daryl.

Pete,

I’m going to keep deleting anything you write that is offensive. Simple as that.

Armand,

I know you’d like Pete’s comments left up, to prove the distinction between humour and offensiveness but it was basically just yourself and Pete having a big argument filled with offensive comments. That’s why the whole thing’s been deleted.

If you two want to carry on your little domestic, either do it with some civility or do it somewhere else.

dear daryl,
fuck off you politically correct bore

Daryl i’m with pete on this one,you are a hypocrite,why do you delete his comments and not the other so called “offensive” one’s earlier on?are you not doing ur job properly whatever the hell that is in which case u should be sacked or are u disciminating against pete and not others cause perhaps you agree with thier comments and not his which makes u partial to them.or are you so politically correct as pete says that you cannot tolerate freedom of speech and a bit of fun(that’s all this is u know?)at the same time.now i’m sure u’ll probabl delete this too,go ahead who gives a monkey’s but before u do,please explain to us your wierd and inexplainable actions and thoughts?
cheers

Max, Italia can be proud of you. What an example you are setting.. Are all Italians that dumb?

Vince, David Beckham has more class than the Italian players… and.. Frings would have killed you guys in the field. That’s why you had him banned… how gloriously you have won. At least the other teams, Argentina excluded, left with dignity…

pete your a british fag with no life who is continually bashing other nations and posts comments every other minute. find something to do and get some of that time off your hands. stop wasting your time posting pointless messages pretending like you know the game of soccer.
k thankssss

Steven,

I understand what you’re saying. I’m in the process of going through earlier offensive comments and deleting them. Pete’s comments were deleted first because they were a large, easy to spot block of offensive comments. And I’m not surprised that you’re with Pete on this one, since you are him.

I like Pete’s comments. (I LIKE Pete)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fiona,i’ll be in touch shortly,love ur site btw.

Huh,

Your comments are poor. Your statement with respect to Frings isn’t accurate. Frings wouldn’t have destroyed Italy and for that matter, no team would have destroyed Italy. In the match between Italy and Germany, Italy was without Nesta who is a more valuable player than Frings. In fact, Nesta is considered to be the finest defender in the World. Frings is a good player but players such as Lahm, Klose, Ballack and Zidane couldn’t break the Italian defence down, so what makes you think that Frings would have? There is a reason why Italy hasn’t lost in over 30 matches and there is a reason why they won this World Cup. They are too difficult to break down- defensively. No amount of whining will change that.

As for your rhetorical question as to whether all Italians are that dumb? The answer is no. I’d like to take you on in the intelligent stakes because after reading your feeble minded comments, I would have to say that you’re quite dumb!

Stop stop stop stop being mean to Pete!!!! Just becuz his intelligence is TOO COMPLEX for all of you, don’t be nasty!!
Peter can u come to Massachusetts in September?

We’ll chat soon fiona

landon i coudlnt agree with you more,
Italy played theoir hearts out and had terrable calls aganst them.
If u got head butted in the sternam by zidane tell me u woudlnt roll fall on ur ass.

Come on poeple and the austrailia game was a pure foul if anyone acually watched the dam replay at the angle we saw it as soo jsut shit up cuz U.S.A played like crap

fiona,why do you want me to contact you?

fiona,i think your lovely.can’t wait to speak with you x

I love it, everyone hates on italians because we are not only better than everyone else, we are better looking as well. Keep playing your violines. or somthing like that

In the approximate words of Alessandro Nesta, one of the best ITALIAN defenders :

“They make fun of us yet they dress like us, eat like us and wanna be like us.”

It’s really a shame that so many people seem to love bashing italian soccer … in fact, it seems to be like some new trend – everyone is jumping on the italian hater bandwagon !!

hmmm .. but on behalf of all us italians out there – IT’S OKAY !
We all know that they do it out of jealousy .. and deep down inside they wish they could share in the many joys of being italian. ESPECIALLY the fact that we just won the WORLD CUPP !! WOOHOO >>

4 STARS **** how many nations can say that ??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7_2qI-VQYM

Enough said.

true dattt andiama a berlino
illleave you all with the message of FORZA ITALIA FOR EVER

p.s fiona you can keep sticking up for pete even though u know shitall about soccer, but you like him because yu guys..oh well lets just say have private moments together on myspace. keep it off this website and get a room.

hahhahah ooo that stings.
yeeee italiaaaaaa

JEALOUS MUCH?
ALL ITAL HATERS BOUNCE,
WE WON

I don’t know which team “Huh” (nice name schmuck) was watching, but I saw nithing but classy individuals on the starting rotation for the Azzurri. With the exception of trash talking by Materazzi and a nasty elbow by DeRossi, the rest of the team seemed sportsmanlike to me. But “Huh” proves my point: the perceived lack of “class” on the part of Materazzi is what led many to defend Zidane’s headbutt. As I said, had a so-called “classy” player like Beckham insulted Zidane, the world never would have excused the headbutt. In my dictionary that = “double standard” a/k/a “hypocrisy”.
CIAO NOW, I’M OFF TO THE ITALIAN RIVIERA TO MEET SOME HOT ITALIAN AND FRENCH BABES! CIAO CIAO

Penis.

That is all, thanks.

man fuck use all italians 1 n if u have to say sumthing else about it u just cant hack it n let me start wif fucking america if use r so good y havent u won ne world cups n italy have won 4 n in that game we had to score a goal 4 u so fuck use mother fuckers now the australian team i went 4 both caz im italian n australian but italy would have won neway just caz he so called dive he would have scored neway if lucas neil wasnt in the way n i would love to c ne1 not fall from that tackle n finally france noway that was a penalty italy never touch the player thats wat u call a dive n then l8r in the game italy score n they send it was off side noway it was off side n fuck zidane the pig if he was so fucking good y didnt he score (part from that so called pentaly) a goal in the game soooooooo neways forza italia n if u wanna disagree fuck u kunt caz italia is the best n all that shit is in the past n the present is italia is the world campions n the future is the 5th cup 4 italia

CAMPIONI DEL MONDO

Go Fuck Urselfs

Please feel free to express a worthwhile opinion.

fuckin campioni del mondo.. best team in the world.. most world cups in ever apart from brazil.. france and portugal.. thats their training video

france were the much better team,itlay were just licky throughout.nobody really thinks they derved it outside italy or it’s community elsewhere.best team in the tournament were argentina followed by germany.period

Andrea, you are supporting Fraafrica even now? Do you think Malouda did not cheat? Zidane is a gentleman? French did a lot of bad fault during the match. This game should have been closed in the first half time: Toni heads on the bar and goal ( he was not offside )!
You are not Italian but half roastbeef and half Froggy!!!

Booooooooooo

Boooooo again, Y Griffiny!

http://www.YGriffiny.com

Do you want insults? And you get them! Speak bad about Australia, US and Uk is even too much simple! Australia is not a nation is a distressing joke! A disgusting land slave of one of the worst race on Earth: the brits who came from the paradise of all violent drunkards. I have comnpassion for you because you had the disgrace to be a colony of these murderers.
It is a disgusting and burned land full of illeterated, gross, fat, hairy, dirty, stinky, ugly, racist, drunk idiots (that is not surprising: read these comments) like Americans and ALL english speaking pigs.
I’m referring particularly to those scumbags who wrote insults about Italy… the envy is a bad thing, doesn’t it??!!!
Those comments reveal ALL your education and manners, compliments retards!
You are a bunch of filthy people who derive from jailbirds, prisoners, criminals, deliunquents etc.: that’s your wonderful heritage.
….and they have even the courage to speak!!! I do not speak abot US because it is even more simple. As you have just seen insulting is very simple…THINK TWICE before insulting a whole country, fucking retards. It is JUST A SOCCER GAME

Not a single team from the United Kingdom was capable of even qualifying for the EURO CUP……

BYE BYE ENGLAND, BYE BYE, SEE YOU IN 2010 !!!

Sorry people…thats a very old BRITISH video!..Keep dancing!!!
