Pre-match: (EURO 2016 - Quarter Final) Germany vs Italy 07.2.2016 [R]

Might want to take a glance at most of these replies. On the other hand i'm a realist and i see this being a close game, the people saying that it's going to be a 7 goal blow out are idiots. Regardless, i'm nervous but not cocky. I remember the 2012 Euro threads "we're going to destroy Italy"

 

Gotcha, i don't know much about you guys over here I just came here to say good luck on Saturday and saw all the replies. Regardless of the record i hate playing you guys, just something about Germany that gets me almost pass out nervous

 

All the respect to Italy, you guys have done absolute wonders with a depleted team and no matter what anyone says, this will be an extremely tight game - and whoever wins this has to be the favourite to win the entire tournament!

 

The winner will meet Iceland in the semis and with Siegtorsson on fire that's gonna be ugly

 

Iceland to win Euro 2o16. I said before the tournament that Iceland are my outside picks for 6th favorites to win the tournament. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happens.

It will be tough but Iceland can do it. France is not living up to expectations and they have had it way too easy if you ask me. Switzerland was their toughest opponent and I do think Iceland is a little better than Switzerland these days. Germany or Italy will be very tough but Iceland could beat them. Then Belgium in the final won't be too hard if they manage to beat either Italy or Germany.

 

I think this is as far as Iceland goes..,,

 

LOL, Iceland winning the Euros. Come one fact is what won them the game against England was horrendous defending for the first goal and a howler by Hart for the 2nd goal and them defending towards the pathetic onslaught of English attacks for most of the game. I don't think they would be this lucky for another 3 games.

 

Im confident Tikitalia will outplay us

 

I think this year its your turn to be nice with us...we will also be grateful for it....But you guys owe us big time ... 1970,1982,2006,2012.... So time to return the favor!

 

Top post!!!
Trust me, we wished to be super nice to you in the 2010 and 2014 WCs too, but them evil New Zealanders and Costa Ricans didn't give us the opportunity.

 

There are more Italian fans in our thread than those that will be in the stadium on Saturday. They should play the game in here.

 

Technically, what you've posted doesn't mean "yes". Its a respectful way of acknowledgement when someone elder addresses you.

 

I am actually happy we got Italy over Spain. Spain may have been the easier option but I am looking forward to having an opportunity to finally beat Italy when it matters after all these loses. Stats say that chances should be in Germany's favour. You flip a coin, it's going to land on heads every-now-and-again. Now, I'm not saying we will beat them, but I am thankful for the opportunity to do...now, it's up to Loew and the players.

 

You can talk shit when Germany actually beats Italy, until then go ahead and bitch and cry all you want because everything you say is irrelevant.

 

Forget about him. I think Tikitalia are clear favorites in this. You beat the holders so you should win this comfortably

 

When Spain finally broke their Italy curse in 2008, it heralded an unprecedented run of success. If we can finally defeat Italy in a knock-round match, it could propel this team to new heights.

 

I wish it was that easy, it'll be a good game for sure but I think the streak ends Saturday.
