MonkeyChee Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That was a horrific performance by England, they were lucky it even got to penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The commentators for the BBC are the most biased [Wagons] on the face of the planet...really, really annoy me.They're so anti-everybody-but-England that it's sickening. Italy had a ton of chances during this Italy-England match, really surprised they didn't score.. To be honest, it's no surprise that the home television channel will be supporting the home team. I bet the Italian television coverage was just the same. England deserved to go out, they looked so tired and just plain bad. They didn't run down the ball or seem to be trying at all.

Leik Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What a match. Despite the lack of goals, it was great entertainment throughout the whole thing (Although it obviously slowed down quite a bit in extra time). Wanted England to go through, but I can't deny that Italy were much better. LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Faux Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 My favourite part of that match was when De Rossi grabbed someone's shirt and then threw himself on the ground. It negated a corner and made me laugh so hard. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanananas Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 My favourite part of that match was when De Rossi grabbed someone's shirt and then threw himself on the ground. It negated a corner and made me laugh so hard. Yeah that was pretty ridiculous :P I'm happy that italy got through. I didn't really support either team, but if England had got through in penalties after this match, it would just have been plain unfair. (Though that is bound to happen at times of course) I'm wondering though if they're going to continue to have such big problems actually scoring a goal even with good chances. It has happened quite often in this championship already, and in the end it's goals that count, not chances. Still, my respect for Italy has grown and semi-finals against them is going to be a hard match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Was a tough match for me to choose a side, but I guess now that Italy won I will be cheering for them. Italy definitely controlled the match, but England did a great job to not concede a goal. Helps that Balotelli didn't take his chances well.Spectacular game by Pirlo. His long passes were incredible, and nothing throws a goalie off by embarrassing him with a little chip over the line on a penalty kick. Germany is the favourite of course, but I think that Italy has a good chance of beating them if they capitalize on their chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer205 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wanted Italy to lose but as soon as I saw it was going to extra time I was resigned to them going through, so go Germany I guess (they have been entertaining after all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I love you Fabregas <3 And I lol'd at Ronaldo's face after the penalties. He seemed mad and disappointed that he didn't get to shoot. :> LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Earthman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was kinda cheering for Portugal, support Spain is too mainstream. :P Either team deserved the finals, but Spain has Casillas. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estonian dude Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I wished for Portugal to pass. Ronaldo is a ******bag, but still. I hate Spain even more than I can hate Ronaldo alone. Now I just wish that Germany would win them Pasta-eaters and pull the bag on them Spaniards. So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

stevepole Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That was kind of funny, Portugal iced their own player with their last minute reshuffling of their kicking order. I can understand why Ronaldo wanted to go last and had it played out the way they were probably expecting that could have gone down as one of his greats moments in his career, I imagine. Was it the 4th Spain PK Portugal's goalie jumped early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ronaldo's expression at the end was that of a man who had a bad decision made for him by another person. Speculation aside, it was a silly choice by whoever it was. I'm not convinced Germany will put Gomez at fifth if faced with similar circumstances tonight. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblinpie Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 As much as I know Spain are the better team, and as much as I hate Italy for beating England (though supporting England should mean that I'm used to disappointment), I still want Italy to beat Spain so that Spain don't get three championships in a row...

Leik Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Really hoping for Spain to win this. Love watching them play and they deserve it imo. Although Italy are playing a lot different in this tournament, they have always been incredibly boring in the past and I just can't get myself to support them. :P LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Leik Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Very well deserved, watching Spain tonight was just orgasmic. Although I kinda feel bad for Balotelli and Pirlo. Kinda starting to like Balotelli (more than I did anyway). Also incredibly happy with Torres getting the golden boot, hopefully that'll boost his confidence for next season and he'll find his form (Weird saying that since I'm a Liverpool supporter, lol). But this tournament as whole has been amazing. Only like 2 or 3 truly boring games, otherwise it's been great entertainment throughout the whole thing.

Hamtaro Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Isn't this only two major tournaments in a row for Spain?
