SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Reckon it will be a cagey affair, Italy will be looking to stifle particularly with Pirlo unavailable. Can see 1-0 Italy, possibly AET, or even penalties. Certainly not expecting a thriller unless Spain get an early goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted June 22, 2008 I can see Spain nicking this one (at least, I hope they do) 2-1... the Italians only beat France because they were slightly less rubbish than their ailing opposition. This will be the first time they''ve come up against quality opposition since the Holland game, and we know how that turned out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game against the Dutch was weird. As well as they played we could have had 3/4 if it wasnt for Van Der Saar. The game against the Romanians should have been a victory and the win against the French was well deserved.Dont write us off. Italy on pens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:P] It was only a penalty save that stopped you going out of the tournament there and then. Sorry, but my imaginary money is on Spain... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted June 22, 2008 I think the tournament could do with Spain winning. A lot of the really good footballing sides (Portugal, Croatia and Holland) have been knocked out in the QFs, it would be a shame to see Spain go to.Having said that, Spain haven''t beaten Italy in a competetive match since 1920 so I''m not holding out much hope.

Sparkos 0 Posted June 22, 2008 had a small punt on Italy before the tournament started so i am going to stick with them but i think without Gattusso and Pirlo they will struggle - it could all depend on whether Luca Toni remembers to wear his shooting boots though as so far he has looked like he couldnt hit a bus if he was sitting on one!

It wouldn''t be a shame in my opinion - just another case of Hiddink working his magic on an ''unfashionable'' nation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
