Wija 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Fantastic game - it appears if you ignore the FIFA head honcho's you can actually referee a game correctly. Well done Ref, Well done Italy - my dark horses. Italy France final - Italy to win 3-1. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 And that folks is why Football is the greatest game on earth! Unbelievable stuff, the first half was unreal to watch and the hole 120 mins was the fastest ever. What an end and im being honest I felt Italy would go through (see first post in thread). The pass from Pirlo for the first goal was awesome then the finish was superb. Then the Germans head upfield and you get the feeling they will nick a draw then the italians break with Totti who finds Del Piero to stick a delightful curler past Lehmann. I had Rodney Marsh doing the sub commantating and have to say he was an enjoy to listen to. When Italy scored and he saw the reply he shouted out "Are you kidding me, what a goal" it was hilarious! Those of had Germany on to win on pens must of been sick I had them on to win the WC but am not bothered about it coz Italy were superb. I'll be backing them to win the final. BTW they get to the final every 12 years: 1970 1982 1994 2006 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Great game of football, i hope the last two are like this one. The Ref had chances to start flashing the card early but he kept his head and had a great game, bar a few dodgy Germany free kick decisions (i thought anyway). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to tempt fate but semi finals are always better than finals as teams are far less cautious. Agree the ref had a great game and derserves credit 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,198 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 You are far too funny Colshy !! You say.... well, i shouldn`t quote myself, but....

So who is it to win today Colsh ? France in 90 minutes AND Portugal aet ? LOL, just having a laugh with you my man. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 My £10 I put on Italy winning the tournament is still on. I thought Pirlo hung off to long with the pass to Grosso but it was amazing to say the least and what about Del Pieros goal and setup by Gilardino? Superb! Let's hope France and boring Portugal can put on a similair performance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope France and boring Portugal can put on a similair performance. I thought the same thing about the Pirlo pass Gav - thought he held on to it far too long, shows how much we know ! BOTH goals were sublime and worthy of winning any game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,198 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 yeah so but i still said italy are creeping through this. did you??:admin: No but I also didn't say Germany would beat Italy. So really what you are saying is that as long as you mention one team (no matter how many others you mention) then all is good ? Man, wish I had said before the WC started that I felt that Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, France, Portugal (Ronaldo.....), Ghana etc etc (through all 32 teams) were going to "creep their way through the tournament" - then I could be sitting here just now saying "told you so".
