Italia vs Germania quarter final

Gila was in top form back then

 

Gilardino was great in 2006, Izaghi almost screwed up that second goal against the Czech's trying to be selfish.

 

If it wasn't for Berlusconi Italian Football would be irrelevant

 

What a bunch of crock
He sucked hard

"B-but his assist to Del Pippa vs Germany"
He didn't do shit apart from that

And he only scored 1 goal same as Inzaghi while having shitload more minutes on the field

 

Gila had a 24 goal season prior and 17 that year with Milan. On what planet didn't he deserve to feature for Italy. At that moment in time, he was a top striker. Take off your fanboy glasses

 

Conte went for the win too
Difference is his midfield was shit and his forwards were scrubs

Conte didn't play for penalties...his approach to the game was no different than Lippi's
You have no idea what you're even talking about

Lippi was not "brave" gtfo with that bullshit
He was just as conservative as most Italian Managers

 

He was shit for Milan
I know because I watched him I didn't just read Wikipedia stats

Has nothing to do with "fanboyism" cuz as you said it Gila was playing for Milan too
Pippo didn't perform in one game and then Lippi dropped him immediately and kept subbing him in the late minutes of the game...while he kept playing Gila over and over despite him sucking even harder which was just bullshit

Gila was never a "top striker"
2 good seasons at Parma doesn't make you world class

 

Of course it has everything to do with fanboyism. At that time, both Inzaghi and Gila gave the same value. There was no one saying in 2006 "this team needs some Inzaghi right now". If anything Gila's stock started to drop post WC

WTF does it matter anyway. ITALY WON

 

No not really
Gila flopped hard in Champions League that season while Inzaghi didn't
Glia's "stock" dropped when Milan bought him and he failed to live up to the hype

The argument was that Conte played some players who didn't deserve it and I simply responded that Lippi did the same thing in 2006 with Gilardino

 

Also Zaza and Pelle didn't disrupt the team by acting like petulant children.

 

I get that. But I maintain that it wasn't a big issue at the time. It's not like Inzaghi was going to play and Italy was going to win the World Cup A LOT HARDER BRO

 

Which is why, a goal down he still kept the same team on the field that couldn't penetrate the German midfield :lol:

Yes I'm the one who doesn't know what he's talking about lol take your ball and go home bro. You won this debate lol

 

The Germans did their best to choke as well... possibly the pressure of their record vs Italy. First they give up a pointless penalty, and then their legends Shweini, Ozil and Muller all missed penalties. And we still lost

 

I can't even look at Pelle anymore. I'm never confident in shootouts because of Buffon tbh. He's a legend in every way except penalties (though that could be an unfair perception)

2018 is a very realistic chance to win. It's in Europe (good weather for us) and we should have every confidence.

 

For sure man, you're 100% correct, a 4-2-4 is absolutely not different in any way to a 3-5-2

You guys are arguing with our resident Kazakhstani village idiot who believes that Ancelotti is a shitty coach and Pirlo sucked. Just saying...

He's only here because we got eliminated
And good thing he has me on ignore or you'd get to see a melt down extraordinaire.

 

This basically sums up this scrub Zaza's penalty

I think it's time to lock this bad boy up

 

Some of us need to laugh on this gloomy Monday morning.

 

Sad but true

 

Seeing someone have a nervous breakdown mainly because they can't stand being wrong is funnier than seeing what could have been an Italian team beating the world champs.

Delete my posts if you want but all I'm doing is quoting @Calcio Pauly

 

This broke my heart over the weekend:



I was critical of this team from the beginning and didn't believe much in them but they showed me that they gave everything and played as a team that cared.

At the end of the day that's all you can really ask for.

Forza Azzurri.

 

twinkle toes zaza

still can't believe he tried that shit.
