Denmark 0 -1 Italy

Goals
Del Piero 45'

Cards
None

Pretty boring match, slow paced, probably how it's gonna be in real life...your thoughts?

This will be a close match I think. Though in the end Italy will pull through with a Totti goal.

Italy 2 : 1 Denmark

Vieri, Totti - Tomasson

Denmark is always a dangerous team and Tomasson is a great international level player. Italy must pressure The Denmark defense as it is not that strong. Midfield battle is important as the Zanetti-Perrota have a lot to proove now that the matches are so important and the opposition is tough. Pirlo and Gattuso want their starting jobs.

Gronkjaer is not playing in the Euros if you did not know as a family memeber is very ill.

probably 2-0 to Italy or something like that. realistically it'll have to be a very solid or lucky performance from the Danes to get points from this one.


buuuuuttt, u never know..

2-0 Italy.

Italy 2 : 1 Denmark

Italy - Del Piero 31, 78

Italy - Denmark 1:0
Vieri

We have a short day of school on Tuesday, so I can rush home and watch a good 3/4 of the match(H)

Italy I feel have too much class and as long as they start well then they should beat Denmark. my condolances(sp?) to Gronkjaer after the death of his mother:( :(

Hopefully all your predictions are right:D

excuse my ignorance, but who's starting LB and RB for Italy?

Denmark 0-2 Italy

LB is Zambrotta RB is Panucci

Why isn't Francisco Coco in the Italian Squad

italy easily against the danes
italy 3-0 denmark
Vieri, Vieri, Totti

bah.... 2am kickoff here... i'll have to wait until 7:30pm to see it :\

i think it will be a pretty close game.... 1/2 goals difference max..... pretty boring i'd say.... so definately not watchable at 2am :|

I reckon if the Danes play their best, they have a very good chance at winning this match. The defense will need to be extremely solid. It's gonna be a low scoring match, I predict 1-0 Denmark through Tomasson..

3-0

Vieri hattrick :)

3-1 to Denmark :D

this will be the first game that will finish 0-0, it's a first game so i think that both teams will be happy with the draw

Seeing as England thrashed Denmark at the world cup, i'm gonna say 5-0 Italy :rolleyes:

3-0 italy, totti, vieri, and dp each getting a taste

Isnt this game gonna be on Fox Sports Wolrd?

i cant wait to see totti bass to vieri and score the first goal
and the second goal will be pirlo by free kick
and the third is by totti bass it to del piero and socer it
and the forth will be by CASSANO
hah
bye

using that logic England will severely trash France since Denmark beat them at World Cup and then lost to England...

Denmark will loose to Italy though since Gravesen is out ... Grønkjær can be replaced, but the loss of Gravesen is extremely serious for the danish side ... plus the fact that the danish defense is too slow ...

1-2 loss

I hope and pray that Denmark will get their asses wooped by at least 3 goals, F*CKERS :f***:

I am predicting a draw.

Solely because of Trap playing a **** team.

Zanetti and Perotta are **** compared to Pirlo and Gattuso.


This 4-2-3-1 ****s me as well.

Starting lineup

Buffon

Panucci
Nesta
Cannavaro
Zambrotta

Zanetti
Perrotta

Camoranesi
Totti
Del Piero

Vieri

Camoranesi, absolute poo. It should be Fiore.

1st of all, no camo is not ****.....perrotta and zanetti are what helped qualify us, he left out pippo, he shouldn't ruin te team more by leaving out them 2....gatusso and pirlo have been great for milan, but have yet to prov a lot on the NT, with the exception of pirlo, because he lacks NT experience, which is another reason not to play him......zanetti and perrotta stay on their feet and don't tumble around like gattuso....italy needs 2 holding mids.....gattuso is 1, pirlo lacks some defensive skills, he has some, but not enough.....and gattuso is not good enough to cover 2 positions.......


lastly, quit your bitching......don't change the system days before the tournament.....totti, camo, and delpi provide support for vieri, we need 2 guys to help out the defensive side:kader:

Gattuso isnt playing? Damn he's the only Italian player on my fantasy team. Hopefully it'll be a good game.

Italy will win 2-0 :( Totti and Vieri :(

Italy 2 -1 Denmark

its been such a common score line recently...

Demark 3-2 Italy (H)

if italy doesnt win by 2 goals im gonna be dissapointed

You're setting yourself up for a disappointment then.

The only way I see Italy winning by 2 goals is 2-0... but I don't think it will be quite that easy.

I predict 1-0 or 2-1 Italy.

Get outta here. If youre not Italian why you support Milan? the least you could do is support italy in Euro's. I dont care really, but still.

well you don't have to be Italian to support an Italian club but yeah ... when you support a team like Milan its messed up if you hope for Italy to lose especially if neither of your nationalities are represented in the competition - In Rony's case, Iraq and Canada.




anyway, i don't care how well Italy play ...I don't care what the score is. All im hoping is for Italy to start well and get a win under their belts.

denmark are so out classed by italy, but i better be quiet until the match is done

Korea were supposedly outclassed as well. Croatia were supposedly outclassed as well.


So i've stopped expecting demolitions from the Azzurri. Its not their style.

If they are going to win this competition or even reach the semis, they will be scraping through with the narrowest of wins.

Hopefully Italy don't stop playing after they take leads.

And hopefully Trap's first substitution doesn't involve Del Piero :rolleyes:

Good idea.;)

Denmark is a very good team ;it will be difficult for Italy to beat then i predict 1-0 Totti

I see a upset coming up 2-1 to Denmark

2x for JDT, 1 for Totti.

Yash and Mikey: before I entered high school, I DID support Italy... but then I met all the dumb, stuck-up, conceited Italians in my school who thought they were Gods gift to mankind and became anti-Italy

now I'm not saying all Italians are conceited and stuck-up, just 99% of the ones in my school :p

but I've gone past hating Italy, now I just dont like them

either way, I'm just hoping for entertaining football since I'll probably never see any of my native countries in the World Cup :S

First Published: Jun 12, 2004

Denmark's use of two wingers could cause Italy untold damage in their Group C Euro 2004 match on Monday claimed AC Milan's Danish striker Jon Dahl Tomasson.

The 27-year-old told euro2004.com that the Italian defenders were not used to playing against two wingers and he was looking forward to seeing how the likely fullbacks of Christian Panucci and Gianluca Zambrotta acclimatised to that.

While it is unlikely that Chelsea's Jesper Gronkjaer will make it as he is still in Denmark after his mother died of cancer on Friday, the Danes have two other lively widemen in Dennis Rommedahl and Marin Jorgensen.

"The Italians are not used to playing against teams with two wingers like we do and I'm sure we will cause them trouble," said Tomasson, who scored four goals at the 2002 World Cup finals.

"I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll solve that problem," added Tomasson, who failed to blossom at Premiership side Newcastle because he was deployed on the wing and left after a year to enjoy a more fruitful spell as a striker at Feyenoord.

While Tomasson is thrilled at the prospect of Italy having problems down the flanks he doesn't see himself getting too many opportunities to score as his two years in Serie A have taught him.

"I don't expect to get much room as I don't think the Italians will push forward to put us under pressure as an attacking game is not their style," said Tomasson, who also played in Euro 2000 when Denmark went home after the first round.

Tomasson said he and three of his team-mates, who are also based in Italy, didn't feel any greater incentive to put one over their opponents.

"I'm really looking forward to the game," said Tomasson, whose last minute winner against Ajax in the 2003 Champions League quarter-finals kept alive their dreams of the trophy which culminated in beating Juventus in the final.

"But the fact that I'll be up against some of my colleagues from Italy does not make the game more special for me - none of us can wait to get started.

"Italy will be tough opponents and I regard them as a side hungry for victory who can go all the way."

Forza L'Azzuri

2-0 to Italy
Vieri to score first.

Jon Dahl Tommason

would love to see denmark win as charlton's only representitives Jensen and Andersen.........I think this will be 1-1:)

italy will not fail to place themseles as title candidates

I hope they don't stop playing when being up 1-0. Somehow it's a habit of Trap's teams.

The italian team has virtually no weak points. Denmark must play one hell of a match and have some luck to pull off an upset, which i really doubt it. It´s just about how long can Denmark hold until conceding a goal. If they prevent an early goal then anything can happen but Italy is a very hard side to beat.

what's the composition of Danemark ? and Italy ? thanks

most probably this:

Danimarca (4-4-1-1):

1 Sorensen, 6 Helveg, 4 Laursen, 3 Henriksen, 5 N. Jensen, 19 Rommedahl, 15 D. Jensen, 17 Poulsen, 10 Jorgensen, 9 Tomasson, 11 Sand.

(22 Andersen, 16 P. Jensen, 2 Boegelund, 13 Kroeldrup, 18 Priske, 14 C. Jensen, 12 Kahlenberg, 23 Loevenkrands, 21 Madsen, 20 Perez).

All. Morten Olsen.

Italia (4-2-3-1):

1 Buffon, 2 Panucci, 5 Cannavaro, 13 Nesta, 19 Zambrotta, 20 Perrotta, 4 Zanetti, 16 Camoranesi, 7 Del Piero, 10 Totti, 9 Vieri.

(12 Toldo, 22 Peruzzi, 15 Oddo, 6 Ferrari, 23 Materazzi, 15 Favalli, 8 Gattuso, 21 Pirlo, 14 Fiore, 18 Cassano, 17 Di Vaio, 11 Corradi).

All. Trapattoni.

Arbitro: Manuel Enrique Mejuto Gonzales (Spagna)

its not that I want it to happen.. You know Trap..

Danish press has speculated in a couple of surprises since the pressmeeting with coach Morten Olsen last night.

His statements were a bit cryptic.

Usual danish lineup 4-2-3-1

Sørensen
Helveg
Laursen
Henriksen
N. Jensen
Gravesen
Poulsen
Jørgensen
Grønkjær
Sand
Tomasson

Gravesen and Grønkjær are out.

Press speculation is that

Gravesen will be replaced with either D. Jensen or that Helveg will be put on the def.midfield with K. Bøgelund or Priske taking his place as Right Back.

Grønkjær will probably be replaced with Rommedahl.

Furthermore there has been speculation that Henriksen will be replaced with Krøldrup, since Henriksen lacks speed and match training ... but this would be some surprise since Henriksen is captain...

Italy are probably 4-3-2-1

Buffon
Zambrotta
Nesta
Cannavaro
Panucci
Zanetti
Camoranesi
Perotta
Del Piero
Totti
Vieri

I'd like to see Kroldrup play. He's linked with us. ;)

Azzuri to win 2-1.

Well the match is 20 minutes away and I can't wait to see Italy beat Denmark :taz:

Since Italy aren't great starters in tournaments this should offer a great chance for Denmark.

My prediction is 2-1 Denmark. :)

I think Italy will win 2-0
but keep in minde that denmark is good in tournaments
and they got the best supporters,the "rooligans" nice people!

Match just started, i hope its good

Denmark's applying good pressure on the Italians so far.....let's hope this leads to something...

Denmark started much better than Italy

Italy are in trouble atm.

Italy under huge pressure

I love the way Denmark is playing..

yeah they are playing so well but Italy's defensive midfield is non-existent at the moment.

WTF?! :|

Yellow for Jon Dahl?! Stupid :kader:

That ref is ****.

lol he just fell down on that one, accidental

Originally posted by shokz

Indeed, Denmark are playing very well atm they just need a goal.

OH SO CLOSE, cmon Denmark

i bet italy score now

Denmark are really surprising me they are playing as a world class team today. Hope they don't end up losing with a stupid goal.

denmark are bitting off italy at the momet.that yellow for jon is just stupid.he even tried to get up fast after he fell.

Ouch, the Italians nearly got the undeserved first goal! Denmark have impressed me, while Italy hasn't at all.

Awesome Sorensen

HT

0-0 at HT :(


KEEP IT UP DANMARK :rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

half time 0-0

Sorenson is playing great ...as are Denmark.....Italy look impotent .......they wanna wake their ideas up after the break...but i hope they dont..........:D

Half-Time, so far Denmark have been the better team theres no doubt about that. They have been really impressive even the kepper was good on those 2 saves that he made. Buffon has been good so its gonna be hard to score on him.

Pretty good game. Italy, as usual playing well defensively. BUT they are gettin ass raped in possesion. I think its a good time to bring in Pirlo.

Two good saves from Sorenson.:D

Come on Denmark!:rockman: :rockman:

Italians have been **** for most of the half.(H)

the italian MF is just not there
our defence is soakin up the pressure pretty well, but why is trap playin 3 forwards if he is gonna instruct them to play this style of football

i know someone whoz italian, i wonder if he will be happy with them

As for Denmark they r payin well but i can see them being hit by a shock goal like england yesterday

Unfair result for Denmark and the italians almost score what would be a terrible injustice. great Sorensen (Y)

I think Pirlo should come in for Zanetti.

Cannavaro is having a great game.;)

i like the denmark style of play.they seem always to create space for a shot.they should have had atleast a goal

the game will be over as soon as Italy scores a goal so they have to be cautious.

Just because Italy are playing sh*t doesn't mean they are harmless.

Our defense has held up as expected but we have absolutely NO help in the midfield. Anytime we've gotten the ball out of the defense, we either lob it long or lose possession. I'd say that we've had only 2 good offensive possessions. We need a midfield for the 2nd half...

Great half by Denmark! Poulsen is ruuling in the midle!
I predicted 2-0 to Italy,but i my have to change that to 1-0 to Denmark!
GOOOOOO! You Danish dynamite

you got a point there!if Italy get 1 goal the game is over,but at the time Denmark is playing great.

they need to bring in fiore or cassano for camoranesi, camo's playing good, but he's too slow for the danes



totti's trying to pull a baggio from 94 with that hair:crazyboy:

I'm expecting Italy to pick it up in the 2nd half but Denmark will score on the counter attack.

Ok 45 to go;)

OMG Zambrotta shoot with your right foot. Brillant pass by Totti

ANOTHER AMAZING SAVE BY SØRENSEN!!!


DAMN!!!!!!

OMG WHAT A SAVE BY SORENSEN:confused:

Wow Totti should have been red carded. That was such a nasty challenge. Very good game even though it ends in a 0-0 draw. Both goal Keepers get a 10 for me.

0-0 FT ........Totti :kader:

Quite enjoyable 0-0

Great play by both keepers , very entertaining match with occasions for both teams . Very nasty that last foul by Totti he shoulda been red carded, stupid play on his part.

great game....good job to the Danes

Seeing how Bulgaria and Sweden have better attackers than Denmark, I hope they punish the Italians.

Interesting match. Altough it ended 0-0, it was an entertaining match. Mvp´s Buffon and Sorensen.

Great game by the danish team,sad they could not get a goal!
Totti shoud have got the red card for that insane tackle!
if Italy are gonna play like that they will be last in the group
;)

its ok, first game jitters....we'll pick it up next game (hopefully)

totti's tackle was bad, but he put his foot up to block the ball and got the player instead...tho a red coulda easily been given

Goal Keeping wonder, this match!!

Denmark has an impressive team spirit, and great team work rate

Terrible last minute call by the ref, Totti should have been sent off, no doubt!

Should have started with Fiore, Gattuso and Pirlo. Hopefully Trap will learn. Camoranesi thinks he's Totti, but he's not. He runs around like a damn fool and always looses the ball.

Italy played better in the second half. This 0-0 was hold by both keepers.

Totti... :kader:

:fluffy: 0-0

:(

So many chances and no goals for the Danes.:kader:

As for Totti........:|

Yea, I hope we pick it up too. But Sweden will be tougher because their attack is much stronger than Denmark and the defence is very strong too.

The best player on the field was Cristian poulsen he did great!

Denmark played well;Italy was not very good as it was expected from it. The goalkeepers were really great tonight;Sorensen made some remarkable saves. good match

This was a pretty good game overall. Both teams played their game at one point or another but it was all about Sorensen and Buffon they were both spectacular. In my opinion Camoranesi was horrible today and he shouldn't start against Sweden, he probably threw away at least 5 or 6 passes. Totti had his sparks but that free kick at the end was really dissapointing. Vieri was pretty good he had a couple of headers, Del Piero got his touches but didn't do anything with them it was probably because he almost constanly had 2 defenders on him but anyway pretty good game overall and this group should be interesting.

i never wanna see gattuso on the field again.......he tries to dribble out of his own 18.....he can't dribble:kader:

fun to see italy being hold to a draw.
i think they join the list of engalnd and portugal i the unexpected results group.

this was an exhibition of goalkeeping talent and surely sorensen seemed to be present on the pitch with the ghost of schmeiccel(whatever the spelling) in him.

It could have been 3-3 but for the excellent goalkeeping that kept the game goalless. Sørensen played a blinder, denying Del Piero and that long range shot from Totti, and Buffon was good too, saving from Helveg, and then that double save late on when he blocked Tomasson's shot and then stuck a leg out at Rommedahl's rebound.

No way was that match boring!!!

I think Trappatoni got confused because of the number of Jensen´s in the Danish NT. Daniel Jensen, Niklas Jensen and Claus Jensen. Trapattoni- "Wth are you doing Perrota? You have to pressure Jensen when he has the ball" Perrota- "Which one?" :crazyboy:

And s.petrov is a midfielder

Great game to kick off the group, this should make things interesting.

The Keepers were awesome, Sorensten what a freak (H)

Cannavaro and Nesta were exceptional, apart from that Italy sucked. No chemistry in the midfield and for once Vieri was asleep. I expected Italy to open up a bit more than this, i can already see them playing long-ball counter-attacking football against Bulgaria :p

Italy need Pippo Inzaghi real bad, even if he is injured he should be more effective than Del Piero was tonite :rolleyes:

Meh, don't care if they didn't lose, I hope Mikey learns to STFU now.

But Sweden will be in an ideal position to advance with Denmark if they win tonight.

did anyone besides me feel Del Piero was Italys best attacking player and it was retarded to replace him with cassano.

damn it
**** yo trap.

I don't understand why Del Piero was replaced.

Italys defense held up well and Buffon was good. Apart from that everything else was poor.

The midfield had no chemistry and Camoranesi was utter crap.

Gattuso came on for Zanetti but that didn't help too much either. All that trash talk by Gattuso .... what did he do when he got the chance ? Nothing as usual .

Trap should have replaced Perrotta with Pirlo .


Totti played couple of good through balls but they were wasted.

anyway, 0-0 .... at least it wasn't a loss.


Italy always start slow but get the job done.

Not too dissapointed.

He had a couple of decent chances in the 1st half but apart from that i didn't see much of him, maybe because Totti & Camoranesi were hogging all the possession.
Anyway, i don't thing it would've made much of a difference if Del Piero stayed on coz Cassano wasn't any better.

lol, same here. dp is my favorite player of all time.

welcome do da club of DP worshipers. :mrpimp:

Denmark had a great game and deserved a win more than Italy, but a draw was fair considering how well both goaltenders played along with the defenders.

Italy's attack was anemic. Totti was ****e, and Vieri wasnt given much to work with. DP was allright and probably should have stayed on since he was causing some problems for Denmark. Pirlo would have helped perhaps but the midfield was allready being over run so who knows how that would tipped the scale of the midfield. Fiore, Cassano and Gatusso did nothing to prove they should be starting instread of the ones the substituted in for,

Denmark's attack was pressing but lacked finnish, and Buffon the MOM.

Sweden wins 5-0. I'm ******* scared now. Italy needs to watch their back on Friday.....

Not too dissapointed. but at this point (after the 2 other teams have played too) you'll have to admit that with these results the groups starting to look really interesting. Italy will have all the pressure in the world on them, when playing Sweden, while Bulgaria looks too weak to be a real opposing force for the other teams in the group.

So even though Italy tend to start slow, they could've used a win. And to achieve that, I wouldn't sub one of the two most creative players in the attacking department, for a young and unexperienced clinical finisher - type of player.

Totti was decent and did some great moves at times, but neither could he make the difference for Italy.

I was impressed by Cannavaro's defending. I haven't seen him play so much, and he really was a positive surprise. He's not someone brimming with class, like Paolo Maldini, but he certainly gets the job done.

i think they join the list of engalnd and portugal i the unexpected results group.

this was an exhibition of goalkeeping talent and surely sorensen seemed to be present on the pitch with the ghost of schmeiccel(whatever the spelling) in him.

italy was not hold to the draw.... they held out for the draw...

i hope italy got a lesson learned, if there should have been a winner it should clearly have been denmark!

italy played like crap today..... denmark stuck it to them... i was cheering for italy but when i saw that i was disgusted... if it hadnt been for gigi buffon they would have probably lost 4-0.... but he helped get them a point and probably keep hope alive to advance in the tourney.... next on italia's hit list is sweden.... that is gonna be a great game because italy will be mad about the draw and sweden will be trying to repeat the performance they had against bulgaria

Pretty Disappointing, i was kinda shocked at how they played. Camoranesi should never play another game for the Azzurri, just an embarassing showing. Trap has to field Cassano-Vieri upfront next game, with DP and Totti behind them. Gattuso played like crap again, he tries to do too much. Zambrotta was easily the best (out)field player on the field today. Too bad we cant clone him and have him playing LB and RM:( .

My lineup for Sweden game:

:::::::: Vieri :::::: Cassano :::::::::
::::::: Del Piero ::::: Totti ::::::::::::::
:::::::::::::Pirlo :::: Zanetti/Perrotta :::::

Oh, and Aveiresnes, at least they didnt lose........... at home

Well so much for the mockery of the italian fans about Portugal and England when Italy played much worse...

I wish i was like some of you guys. The best way to relief the pain from your team´s failure is to hold on to other team´s disapointments. Now that´s being a true supporter.

On paper I think they have one of hte best squads in the world, if not THE best. They need to try, and forget this defensive crap.

Who the fvck mocked Portugal? It's not our fault they can't beat Greece. I'm sure they'll beat Russia, can't say for Spain though.

defense can prevent you from losing a game.... but if u don't attack you will never win them...

What about Sorensen's saves? :rolleyes:

Denmark owned the 1st half and we were better in the 2nd.

Italy always have a though time in the 1st round.

Italy looked very uninspired today... Italy always makes it out of round 1 though, one way or another.

Agree 100%

Im not surprised by this at all. Italy have always been slowstarters in tournaments and they tend to look uninspired.
Im convinced we (Sweden) will get a tough one on Friday even tho we are in some kind of trance after the Bulgariagame and also been playing great in Friendlies before this tournament.
The earlier you meet Italy in a tournament the better...
I was impressed by Nesta, Cannavaro and Buffon today.
Great game by Denmark btw

I just found this :confused:

Virgo was taking his comment too far, it was just Mikey who decided to be an ass.

definitely not what i was expecting today, but a points a point, we got taught a lesson on how to use the wings, italy in the midfield looked uninspired, there were not enough balls going forward along the ground, everything was in the air, vieri looked terrible, it looked like he didnt put in any effort in some instances, i dont know what to say about camoranesi, he held onto the ball too long etc. totti had flashes of brilliance, didnt find the ball enough, but i guess its hard when all we do is send the long ball, had some good efforts on goal, but what a horrific tackle, lucky not to see a red

but on a good note cannavaro and nesta were amazing the middle of defence, i cant say enough about buffon, brilliant, zambrotta played very well. del piero impressed me a bit, he was actually attempting to tackle and won some challenges, but we need more work out of our wingers. cassano did not impress, i didnt know zanetti was on the pitch in the first half, i thought gattuso played well except for his card

and thomas sorenson.....wow, what a game he had

i believe, wait i know we will be seeing a different italian side against sweden on friday

Good job Denmark, you deserved the win. I was impressed.

Italy looked horrible today, and with Sweden coming up... am I the only 1 thinking that this won't be the "azzuri's" tourney?

Yeah it was a good game. Buffon had a good game, and the italian defense was good at times

sweden u did a good job but i didnt expected that from italy:kader:

Sweden didn't play Italy.

Im not as disapointed with the result as much as i am with the way they played. Camoranesi played awful, and will be replaced by Pirlo/Fiore. Hopefully that can make things better. Still, Italy always starts slow, so i hopefully they can show wat they can really do against sweden.

Trap didnt want an other bottle kicked at his face by replacing Vieri

what trap was thinking when he brought on gattuso:


"hmmm....this game is missing something.....ahh yess, the caveman!!!"

lol ^

I;m not a big Italy fan, and the way they played today confirmed why I am not...

They are just boring. The Danes tore them apart all day long. Too bad they didn't get a goal or two to make it interesting.

goals could have gone either way, the only reason it was a tie was because of the keepers, the goals would have opened the game up, the game was entertaining, the danes wide play is nice to watch, italy in the 2nd showed alot of attacking football which was nice

and i like gattuso, hes a hardworker that no matter what gives 110%, and hes calabrese. he probably ran to portugal. i think the reason he doesnt play well with the azzurri is because he trys to hard, he doesnt seem to settle in. although the friendly vs tunisia, i think he had his best game for italia. he was playing with pirlo

i think the 2 of them together could do good things for italia, but we will never know unless trap puts it in motion

what the hell was that:o :| denmark outplayed italy so much during the game. Vieri had like one good chance and that was it. i'm also impressed by the way Rommedahl(sp) played, he ran riot down the right. the only defender who even stands a chance of catching up to him is Zambrotta otherwise.....Totti also looked uninspired, and WTF did Trap sub off Del Piero. Gattuso was just, i don't even know what to say, in this game-looked a bit unco. as well. Pirlo would've been more effective IMO coz he woulda added more to the attack. And that challenge by Totti on Laursen:| the best player for Italy had to have been Buffon esp. his double save near the end(H)

EDIT-WTF was Totti thinking coming out with that haircut?:|

That Totti challenge should have been a red card, plain and simple.

That was the most fantastic game till now..im cheering for Denmark now=) and Italy disappointed me so much..whats up with Zanetti over Gattuso? Gattuso is 100 times better, i never understood why such a bad player as zanetti plays for the squadra azurra..it must be an inter contract with the federation cos Materazzi is ****ty too..anyway today only the defense(except panucci, why da **** does he play over oddo?) and the god buffon were great for Italy..

i have to agree. and what about Gattuso's spectacular tumble:rolleyes:

yeah i thought that was a straight red, he got really lucky, terrible tackle and the reason why i think he looked uninspired is because he saw so little of the ball, they key to italy is the play going through him, thats why we need pirlo in the midfield

yep. the strategy Trap was using just didn't work. and PLEASE let Fiore start ahead of Camoranesi next time he was crap. was all casual only to play a crap ball

Originally posted by henry#14

oh god please, i will pray everynight till the sweden game, i hope everyone now knows why i was against him making the squad, miccoli is looking really good about now

and i do think that the system works, its just that we need a much stronger midfield, today there was no intensity, there heads were somewhere else(well except buffon, nesta, cannavaro, and zambrotta)

I'm happy with the result. Glad that Denmark got a point out a possibly hard encounter.. Hopefully now we can go now and deal to Bulgaria and then maybe Sweden so we can qualify :)

You and people that say this sort of thing are either blind, idiots or jealous. The attackers SUCKED. There was 3 forwards and a winger out there playing the same system as the so highly regarded attack of Real Madrid. Just the same as Real Madrid played bad games, so did Italy but no one calls Real Madrid a 'defensive' team.

So, I fart in your general direction for making such crap posts.

The way Sweeden looked today, they are going to tear Italy apart. The danes ran rampant all over them today, and it was rather fun to watch. But I never count out the Italians in a tourney. Nor the Germans for that matter. Both teams always show up.

BUT, for all the whining that the Italians did at WC 2002 (and the whining was justified regarding the refs) they got very lucky today...

If that was Collina reffing the game today, Totti would be sitting for 3 games.

"Denmark should have won"
It is true that Denmark has control the midfield. However, in terms of real scoring opporunities, to be honest, the Italians has slightly more. If you don't agree, it is at least a balance match. (both teams have 12 shots) I am sure than most people don't like Italians' conservative approach, but it is in some way effective. How? they can be totally dominated by their opponents like they did today, an still turns out to be a balance match in terms of scoring opportunities. Guess what happen if Italians play well and play a balance match in terms of ball possession.

"Why did Trap sub Del Piero"
I know people love Del Piero, but I would have to say that Del Piero play as bad as Cassano. Since this substitution did not help the Italians, it was a bad substitution by Trap. However, at least the problem was not getting Del Piero out of the pitch.

"Gattuso is 100 times better than Zanetti"
Both players play poorly. I was hoping that Trap would sub in Pirlo instead to help the offense.

"Why was Camoranesi on the pitch"
I have to agree. I would rather saw Cassano even though Cassano was not good either.

Final Thoughts
Great job by the Italians defensively. Buffon, Cannavaro, Nesta are superb, Zambrotta and Panucci are solid. However, the offensive showing has to be very disappointed. The first match is never easy and there are time to improve.

if it was collina i think that tomassan would be sitting a game also for his numerous dives in the box, i thought he wasnt like that

but yeah totti deserved a red

This game was BORING

It was anything BUT boring. It could have easily been 3-3 or 4-4 if it wasn't for the keepers.


Goal-less - YES. Boring - NO.

You always like to take jabs at Italian footy.... so piss off.


Anyone who watched it will agree with me that the game was an entertaining goalless draw.

Yeah and some truely awesome goalkeeping as well..

indeed, at certain points of the game i was preparing myself for the worst but gigi came through big, very entertaining but for some of the wrong reasons

Yep. Also Sorenson's two saves in quick succession near the break were great too..

I don't know what dives those were. The one he got a yellow card for was silly. He barely got pushed, and then immediately got back to his feet to try and keep playing. He never once asked for a penalty.
