Title: Italy...Australia..... Post by: TightEnd on June 26, 2006, 03:24:20 PM I have a sneaky fancy for the Aussies.....7-1 to win in 90 mins
am I mad? Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: SimonH on June 26, 2006, 03:57:50 PM I have a sneaky fancy for the Aussies.....7-1 to win in 90 mins am I mad? I've got the Aussies to win by two goals at 33-1! Clicked the wrong box on Paddy Power and resigned myself to the fact that if I corrected it it would come rolling in. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: ACE2M on June 26, 2006, 04:02:55 PM i'm with you tighty. not sure why but i think they will score 1st and i can't see the italians getting a goal even though they have doubled their chances by dropping that twonk Totti.
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Colchester Kev on June 26, 2006, 04:08:30 PM 1-0 to italy, its nailed on ... you just know they will score and then shut up shop .... Aussies dont have the ability to unlock the italian defence.

Aussies dont have the ability to unlock the italian defence. they are without their best defender Kev which gives them a chance. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Graham C on June 26, 2006, 04:28:20 PM gone with draw:Italia as a half time/full time
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Jim-D on June 26, 2006, 05:05:58 PM Another dodgy sending off?
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: booder on June 26, 2006, 05:11:11 PM taking toni off ? great chance now for the aussies
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Gryff on June 26, 2006, 05:11:24 PM Taking a striker off in a 0-0 situation where you are unlikely to win is retarded.
If it does go to penalties what are you going to do? If it isn't going to be a draw you need to score as a mandown - how is a midfielder/defender going to do that? Looks like Italy are going to try and take it to penalties and hope Australia fluff it. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Gryff on June 26, 2006, 05:36:11 PM Totti and Del Piero took a wrong turn and ended up in the football stadium instead of an olympic pool.
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Rooky9 on June 26, 2006, 05:48:23 PM No penalty
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: ACE2M on June 26, 2006, 05:52:23 PM anyone but totti. they only way he could win a match was from the penalty spot.

Wanted the Aussies to go for it more but thought Hiddink thought he'd win it in ET Lucas Neill a revelation this tournament compared to the snarling fouling machine at Blackburn. Tough on him Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Gryff on June 26, 2006, 05:55:56 PM Joke.
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: TightEnd on June 26, 2006, 05:57:54 PM Another dodgy sending off? It was a horrible sending off decision..Zambrotta was right beside the attacker as a covering defender! Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Rooky9 on June 26, 2006, 05:58:37 PM I hate the Italians fans...(bad experience at the San Siro!)
That for me is a classic case of cheating... but I guess that is the game today, at least on this, and european, level Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Royal Flush on June 26, 2006, 06:06:03 PM Almsot as bad as pulling a players hair so you can head the ball instead of him!!
Australia never really looked like they would score. Italy should have been a couple up at half time. The red card was a joke. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Indestructable on June 26, 2006, 06:08:27 PM I have a sneaky fancy for the Aussies.....7-1 to win in 90 mins am I mad? Yes. :D Title: Re: Italy...Australia.....

LOL. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Rooky9 on June 26, 2006, 06:17:52 PM (bad experience at the San Siro!) That for me is a classic case of cheating... but I guess that is the game today, at least on this, and european, level Rooky, You're are a great bloke and your post's are usually of a high standard. But the above statement is not wanted on this forum. Having read back it may be a little too generalised and i will edit it(though the quotes can still have it for the record if you so wish)... however if you have ever been in genuine fear for your own safety you would know where i was coming form. We were subject to disgraceful treatment from both the fans above and the riot police.. if it had happen in england we would have been all over the world as hooligans - what did they get..,. a 50k fine. (I've edited the quote in line with Nemesis...TE) Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: letsplay on June 26, 2006, 06:19:12 PM Australia robbed
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: TightEnd on June 26, 2006, 06:19:43 PM thanks Rooky
Too generalised a comment, but I am sure we all sympathise if you had a rough time Title: Re: Italy...Australia.....

I understand why you are upset, but you hit the nail on the head about generalising. I'm going to delete my quote. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Indestructable on June 26, 2006, 06:22:41 PM Penalty debatable but if Neil had stood up there would have been no penalty. It is a cruel way to go though.
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Nem on June 26, 2006, 06:23:43 PM Penalty debatable but if Neil had stood up there would have been no penalty. It is a cruel way to go though. It was a cruel way, and I wanted the Aussies to go through because I have them in my sweepstake. But it was a definite penalty. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Sark79 on June 26, 2006, 06:24:01 PM Surely that wasn't a penalty? I hate play acting like that. I feel bad for Australia
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Nem on June 26, 2006, 06:25:06 PM Surely that wasn't a penalty? I hate play acting like that. I feel bad for Australia The defender shouldn't have went to ground. Title: Re: Italy...Australia.....

If there was a blue shirt in the box running in he'd have skipped over and passed it no problem. Same old Italians... Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Royal Flush on June 26, 2006, 11:19:53 PM How did England reach the last world cup? Was it a beckham freekick awarded to a Sherringham dive? ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Colchester Kev on June 27, 2006, 03:12:42 AM Michael owens dive against Argentina for beckhams penalty ... crouch pulling that fellas hair when heading his goal ..... some go for you ... some go against you.
But the Dutch teams antics were awful, they were diving more than the pearl catchers in the maldives ffs. Got what they deserved...a return flight to Holland. That Robben fella is an awful cheat. Title: Re: Italy...Australia..... Post by: Acidmouse on June 27, 2006, 12:26:54 PM ffs had 0-0 for this in double with England 1-0..ahhh so close.....

Portugal are my 2nd team and I have to say I thought they were worse than Holland. Moaning, cheating, time-wasting, w******! |
