I love the fact that the audience is booing the Spanish team. How this boring end product is the sum of such a wealth of individual talent is beyond me.

I hope Italy crack the code. I'm sick and tired of the Spanish national teami

I think they want Italy to win, so Brazil can win the final. Spain will massacre Brazil if they will play each other.

Sigh. What is it with rape and football?
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

I have no comments re your comment.

BUt I think Spain will win this. While Spain is being frustrated, Italy are wearing themselves out fast in the heat. Plus, most of the Spanish players are on doping (we'll never know though because of the weird turns in that court case). The longer Italy fail to score, the more likely it is Spain will wear them down. Del Bosque's game plan has always been to give the ball to Xavi for him to pass to someone else or to give it to Iniesta so that he can either pass or try a breakthrough-dribble. It has worked for him in the past, no reason why it won't work again. The Spanish midfield-pair are that good (and so doped up).

Just realised she is ten years older than Pique. Bad investment.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Nine seems accurate.

You referring to the foul by sirloin? I think it was legit, although iniesta fell very easily.

Pirlo I mean

Yep. As we all know Pellegrini likes to play 2 strikers at all times. And at any one time 50% of our strikers will be injured and the other 50% will be out of form. We will also be competing in 4 competitions at the same time so we need 2 sets of strikers (2 comps per striker pair). So:

2 strikers for champs league and league (The Leage Strikers)
2 strikers for fa and league cup (The Cup Strikers)
2 strikers as injured reserve
2 strikers as out of form reserve
1 youth striker to maintain Holy holistic Barca approach

But since we have not yet completed our transfer business, we have given leatherface, baconface, twatini, and others all time to meddle the pot and screw us over! Were fucked!

This is a cracking game by the way. Come on Italy!!

It's been a great game. Spain is finally coming to life now as well. If Italy can hold out to the penalties though. But it's hard to care, such a mickey mouse tournament after all.

And when you compare the freshness of the Spaniards compared to the Italians, after 120 minutes in these conditions, it's hard not to take the doping rumours serious.
