WC Quarter-Final: Italy v. Ukraine {P & R}

[simakperrce]

Italy to advance to meet Germany in the Semi. We still need an opportunity to pay you back for the disgraceful 1-4 in Florence.

 

[smoove]

this is going to be a cracker, 4-3 to italy...

 

[newbie original]

Italy 1:0 Ukraine

Expecting a boring game but an Italy win nonetheless.

Germany has really surprised me, especially following that smacken you were talking about against Italy in the friendly. I honestly had Germany not making it past the 2nd round especially because of their defense, it can be very shaky back there my German friends. With that said, they have been impressive on the offensive front playing the "Klinsman way" with quick hitting, non stop offense.

To beat Argentina your defense will need to have one of their best games ever. I am sure your offense will supply the "Goods" to get it done but Argentina's offense may be the best in the world. I wish the best to both teams! Now back to the Italy vs Ukraine thread...

has this referee called any games yet? i wonder since this promises to be physical how much of an influence he'll be on this game.

Azzurri 2 - L'Ucraina 0 A.E.T.

Azzurri have been to the finals every 12 years since 1970. Loss-win-loss-??. It looks like a win this year friends. Toni will become the 06 version of Rossi in 82.

 

[gamerguy350]

If it's every 12 years shouldn't that be loss-loss-win?

 

[Moratti1]

If it's every 12 years shouldn't that be loss-loss-win?

No... Loss in 70', win in 82', and loss in 94'.

 

[gamerguy350]

Ah I see what you're getting at now.

 

[Paulista]

looks like a pk shoot out game, but for no rhyme or reason i think
it will be a 4-0 blow out for a italian win

 

[mark77]

I expect a lot of yellow cards especially to Gattuso, Zambrotta and Grosso.

Italy's s11

Buffon; Zambrotta, Barzagli, Cannavaro, Grosso; Camoranesi, Gattuso, Pirlo, Perrotta; Totti; Toni.

 

[mika]

Gattuso, Zambrotta Grosso

we will probably be without them for the next game f*cking sucks and if not the next game then the final for sure

the yellow card rule is the dumbest thing alive it should be if you get 5 yellows then you miss a match

If that's the case there will be probably be zero players suspended in the whole tournament.

way to try to sound intelligent

 

[mika]

how do you know if it is going to be boring or not

all of Italy's games have been entertaining so far why would this one be boring

 

[Nuno]

Italy needs to win, cause Germany x Italy looks better than Germany x Ukraine. Well, for non-Ukranians anyway.

This World Cup has had some classic matchups, so let's keep it going Italians!
