I never thought I'd say this, but I hope messi tears it up. I'm so tired of Germany benefiting from the perfect circumstances and constantly moving on. Hopefully FIFA has had enough of treating teams favourably and throws them into a difficult situation next world cup, instead of gifting them a path to the semis
Err, what? Portugal, Ghana and USA were all probably top 15-20 teams. Algeria was the 1st or second best African team, France probably in the top 5 overall. How was that an easy path? You think Argentina's path was harder? Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria, Switzerland and Belgium?
If Italian football is in shambles, but yet still superior to Portugal's, where does that leaves the state of Portugal's game? Italy were lousy in this WC, but they are two years removed from the European Championship final; and have multiple trophies. Portugal is a minnow--they never won anything.
Get used to resting on your laurels cause the Italian trophy case will be as is for awhile... Your league needs oil money to survive Our time will come, we have consistently been producing better individual talent than Italy for the past 5-6 years, all we need is a good manager to tie it all together with the right selection. An argument could be made that liga sagres is in better shape right now than Italian soccer. No one wants to play in seriea. I wouldn't even go there if I were you See you next world cup kid
Right, because Italy are two World Cups removed from a win and were finalists in the last European Championship. To proclaim that they will not compete for any honors any time soon is just stupid. LOL I've been hearing that Portugal's time will come forever. How did your so-called Golden Generation pan out? Greece shit on you twice in a competition you hosted. You're seriously talking about the Portuguese domestic league? That just delusional.
Ah you got me, I've got nothing to say. You're sharp, really are Have a fun year watching Luca Toni tear up the league
???? .... they had arguably the toughest group of all this world cup.... the only advantage was that that is traditionally given to the host nation's path to the final, which is the extra days rest before the final... but as they had to beat Brazil in their own backyard, fair play to them. Also last wc, they had arguably the toughest path of all the semifinalists... a group containing Ghana, Australia, Serbia and then had to play England, Argentina before eventually losing to Spain in the semis... I don't know how the Germans have had it easy, they maybe make it look that way by staying cool and clinical...
You can't even beat us when we're old and slow hahahahaha! 2-0 legends game - ITALIA WINS AGAIN! You can not beat us! look up the h2h, we own you, we own you in every facet of the game. 4 world cups, one euro, Portugal -ZERO!!!!!! NEVER EVEN WON A SINGLE TROPHY!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! RONALDO - FLOP!!!!!! PORTUGAL - CHOKERS!!!!!!!
Italy made the euro final in 2012, once again eclipsing Portugal. Made my day when Greece kicked your ass not once but twice ON YOUR HOME TURF beating you in the final then 2 years later We win the world cup HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! This idiot makes a big deal about Italy not making it past the group stage in two world cups when Portugal also got knocked out and in the other world cup only scored and only win against North Korea. 3 goalless games, congrats on making it to the 2nd round. Great achievement. In those 3 tournaments from 2010-2014 we still went further than you ever did MORON!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 2-0 in the legends gme you cant even win that your country is so shit!
lol wtf ? i hope you're trolling because if any team got an easy route it was Argentina, easiest group of the tournament then switzerland then belgium (very solid team but not a powerhouse) and then netherlands (only powerhouse team on their run) how on earth can you compare that to portugal usa ghana algeria france and the hosts brazil ?? ROFL you are delusional
Well I picked Argentina to win the WC seems like my pick just fell slightly short. A lot of people laughed at me and said no way with that weak defense but in reality it was the defense who carried them to the final. The fantastic four of messi, di Maria, hiugan and Augero were disappointed especially past the QF. Congrats to Germany they deserved it truly the best team in the world.
All I hear are excuses. ... Or Germany is that good. In fact, Germany is sweeping all of them this summer.
