i think italy will win it all but need a person up in the front to help Luca Toni because he cant do it byhimself. someone like del piero is a good option.

If Italy plays like they did in Germany, they'll win it all. They elso have France so there's a point

italy will win it all again because they are gs like that and their defense is amazing only one goal in the world cup allowed and that was an own goal and the offense is there as well luca toni will be amazing fo sho

italy is the best

italy has a good chance to win it all, as long as they can score, which means Luca Toni will need some help up top. Del Piero will probably be the best choice with his international experience and current hotstreak as the serie a goal leader.

Luca Toni Is going to be a machine in the tournament and Italy will play Portugal in the finals.Go Italia!

italy right now is a powerhouse..and should win the euro hands down..but they will need to play del piero next to toni.. the 2 of them together is amasing.and would be their best option..toni in the air and streangth, and del piero with the skill and finesse!

italy = euro champs

italy have the perfect mix of players to win the Euro. Sans doute.

italia will win it all

I've always found Italy a bore to watch though they do have amny good players' in the squad. I look for them to beat the egotistic Dutch & move on from there.

Italy sucks The World Cup was a fluke Portugal ALL the way.

ITALY SUCKS

Logan is right Italy sucks

italy will lose 2 holland

I think not. Holland has too many big egos on the squad & the players' cant agree on anything. They always choke in big game situations like this. Besides if the game turns out to be close look for Italy to start diving like they always do in tough situations to salvage a win. If anything it should be a boring game.

Italy all the way baby
FORZA AZZURI

You are all JEALOUS. Portugal has never even played in the final of the WOrld Cup because they are wanna be's but are never gonna be. 4 time World Champs, they rest of you (besdies Brazil) are jealous loser! Hahah you all suck.

Hahahahaha Portugal sucks. How many World Cups have they won. NONE! Portugal has never even played in a World Cup final before! They also have NEVER won a Euro Cup. They are among the biggest losers in the game. Not even one trophy in the showcase. Ronaldo is a girl and last time I checked, when has Portugal ever beat Italy? Didn't Italy wack them 3-1 in Potugal not to long ago. Nuff said.

idk how they will win euro after they just got WRECKED by the netherlands.

dumb italy fanboys

doesn't matter who loses to the dutch, the azzuri are champs and you know it!!!

You're right, Logan...the world cup was a fluke. France had a better side than Italy, but just self destucted. As for Portugal, they got OWNED by the best team in the WC that year, Germany! That was even worse than how bad they got owned by GREECE?? in Euro04!!
HaHa

I wonder if they know the definition of PWNED in Italy, cuz they just were.

italy is a good team they just need to win more once canavaro comes back they will pown

Italy rocks! Ur all dumb, sure they got smoked and it was sad n all but they'll come back, Toni is pretty sic and can take em on

To all these so called knowledgeable fans...........Holland cought a big break as their first goal was offside by a yard ( they said the defender out of the pitch kept him in play ??? trhat's pure b**l s**t) he was knocked off and it wasn't intenetional thus the offside stands, the scond goal was a clearance on the line by Holland and the counterattack led to the second goal, as was the third goal again on counter attack as Van desaar made a miracle save, luck was on holland's side as Italy did miss 3 clear goals, but the ball is round. And don't be surprised if the Italians end up in the finals......it wouldn't be the first time, they always start slow and somehow are always there ????? this was a just a tumble I'm sure the Azzurri will be in the final again.

ITALY AINT WINNING ANYTHING ITHER.U GUYS GOT WOOPED YESTERDAY AGAINST HOLLAND.SPAIN WOOPED THE USSR. THAT GOL BY VANNISTERROY WAS GOOD

haha the italians cant even hold their own against the netherlands who is a great team, whoever said they were lucky goals, they obv didnt watch the game holland dominated every minute of the game these cocky i-talians play for themselves and it obv gets them no where

haha the italians cant even hold their own against the netherlands who is a great team, whoever said they were lucky goals, they obv didnt watch the game holland dominated every minute of the game these self centered i-talians play for themselves and it obv gets them no where

I'm not Italian, I call it as I see it,Holland's first goal was OFFSIDE, even van Neestelroy kept looking around stunned that the goal was given, and the other two were on counterattacks after the Italians came very close on scoring, If I'm not mistaken Grosso,Del pero and Toni missed incredibly in front of the net....without the first crucial goal, which causes you to attack and leave yourself open in counterattacks( both of the other 2 goals) Holland got a break,I'm not taking anything away from the Netherlands,they capitalized on their break, good for them, I'm saying this is a game of luck at times as well,I guarantee you that if they play again I'll bet my house it would turn out differently. Thus far Portugal and Spain look very solid but I would not count the Italians out yet,somehow they always rise, whether you like it or not..... PS for EL NINYO learn the rules before opening your mouth, ONLY IF A PLAYER DELIBERATELY WALKS OFF THE FIELD TO PUT AN ATTACKING PLAYER OFFSIDE ..IT'S OFFSIDE. IT HAS TO BE DONE ON PURPOSE. PANUCCI WAS INJURED LAYING ON THE FLOOR WITH HIS HANDS OVER HIS FACE FAR FROM THE PLAY AFTER HE COLLIDED....IT WAS TERRIBLE CALL THAT CHANGED THE GAME !! BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW ??? keep dreaming maybe someday Spain will win something ............

wat happened 2 totti? y didnt he play in the netherlands match?

Holland 3 Italy 0 Enough said. Now go cry into your pasta!

Italy is the king of all things futbol, no crying in my pasta here. Can't wait for the game with Romania

That goal DID count for Holland. Technically, as long as there is a deffensive player in front of the ball, it isn't offsides. The ref made an excelent call! way 2 go!

Ok people who say italy suck well you dont no a lot about futbol italy has won 4 world cups 1 euro cup hopefully 2 they have the best goalkeeper in the worls excellent defense CANNAVARO MATTERIZI AND A LOT MORE GREAT PLAYER AND ITALY MIGHT BE ON THERE 5 WORLD CUP WIN

Holland beat Italy. Thats reality. Deal with it.

The Italians will rebound against Romania Friday. Their best bet is that the Dutch and French tie, or Holland beats them outright. At that point Italy will only need a draw in the last match to advance, with Holland defeating Romania...

I LOVE ITALY!!!!!!!!!! GO BUFFON

Italy sucks

explain how the world cup was a fluke when italy gave up 1 goal going into the final (and it was an own goal) and gave up a garbage P.K to france in the final and aswered it back in 5 min.
yea...... that was a fluke..................
ITALY 4 > portogal 0

Italy is the best team that there is. When they play Romainia friday they will come back and dominate, just as they will in the championship game.

I think Italy is able to win it, but they'll have to play with a lot more intensity than when they played the Netherlands. Also, Buffon needs to do a lot better in net.

All Italy needs to do is beat Romania, beat France, and bang look who's through. If they can just play the way they did in Germany Italy has this cup in the bag.

totti retired from international soccer sadly

Forza Azzurro!!!The best part will be when we not only pass the group stage, but, eliminate the frenchies along the way... freedom hating, escargot eating, foul smelling cowards

I love ITALY and Enda

go.... azzuri.....
go.... Bufon & Del piero...
I'm Support you to the winner...

andiamo azzuri dobiamo vincere. Come i mondiali

I love soccer and I'm a bias fan, thus far Spain & Portugal look good, Italy I always admire but so far in this tournament I see the referees too harsh with them , from the first goal with Holland with the regular goal Italy scored with Toni and was incredibly taken away ??? then let's not even talk about the ridiculous penalty kick. Regardless now Holland will rest many starters and Romania will have an easier game. But Croatia is playing weel and it's not asurprise, let's be realistic throww Brazil and Argentina in there and tou have a world cup. I would hate to see Italy and France get knocked out, especially Italy and especially when the ref.
openly admitted that he made a mistake on Toni's goal?////

donnadoni needs to get a coaching class, he has no idea how to coach an set good players up, it needs to be delpiero and toni up top then thats a game to watch

del piero ??? I would rather see Cassano upfront with Toni, the most essential player is De Rossi, why wasn't he there in the Holland's game ???,funny how the Norwegian ref Orvebo (or what ever his name is) was suspended and sent home after his mistake in the Italy-Romania game, I feel bad for Italy if they get bumped off because of that.

its so funny how all of a sudden all the bad teams are starting to get good..like netherlands wtf did they come from? and turkey? freaking crazy comeback 2day..portugal and netherlands in the finals tho

Holland has always been good.Turkey ?? well let's be realistic if Cech ,the great goalie didn't make that mistake......Turkey would be going home. I would like to see Spain win something for once,and after Italy was unfairly penalized vs Romania,they need a bit of luck, thus a nice final with Italy-Spain will be fine, but Portugal seems too good to
count out.

italy will win it all because they are the best. they are just not doing well because cannavaro is out and there defense isnt anything without them so if u guys think italy suck then u tell me who won the world cup last year.

Gli Azzurri will beat France, they proved it 2 years ago in the World Cup. Let's hope Buffon has a good game in goal and the ref does a decent job.
Forreza Italia

FORZA AZZURRI!!!!!
ITALY 2
France 0!!

Forza italia!!!!
on to play spain

well, well, well, I guess all you Italy haters are crying in YOUR pasta now!! Great Job ITALIA!!!!!

italy SUCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSS

FORZA ITALIA, ITLY IS GOING TO WIN WITH LUCA TONI IN FRONT AND DONADONI SHOULD PUT DEL PIERO TO HELP THIER DEFENSE IS AMAZING AND BUFFON BIENG THE BEST BUT THEY HAVE A TOUGH GAME WITH SPAIN I HOPE THEY WIN

If Italy wants to win against Spain....Del Piero is the last guy you want to see in there,Toni has done nothing thus far, but him and the talented Cassano should be upfront, wow !! what a player De Rossi is!!, where was he in the first game ??, I predict Italy-Germany for another classic final, spain is going to join Portugal. This is a team sport, the stars on paper can only go so far, look at Portugal today ??, Italy and Germany are the experienced and best teams ,bottom line.

I have to agree with United Power, wolfen you need to relax. If Italy get pass the Spainard they still have the Dutch to play again, and we all know how that first game ended.

go italy

i think italy will be the winner of euro 08 but del piero must be starter player.forza italy!!!!!!!!!!!

i think italy will be the winner of euro 08 but del piero must be starter player.forza italy!!!!!!!!!!!

yea yea go home italians

THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Italy's outta there = (

OK, what i said about italy and portagul was when i was a little drunk. That is the stupidest thing i have ever said!

Well nothing last forever! Italy was not on top of shape, Donadoni did not have enough experience to lead the World Champions, we need Marcello Lippi back if we want to win the next world cup.

italy is amazing in defence, but luca toni needs support up front

ITALY SUKS DATS IT.

although i am a huge ronaldo fan i dont know how it is that most of you are saying that portugol could beat the azzuri. sure ronaldo is the best player in the world but hes one person against 11 strong and talented italians. FORZA AZZURI!!! VIVA ITALIA!!!! :]

Italy is very good thanks to there defense ane midfield. Their fowards on the other hand can use some help. Toni has not proven himself so well and is not that good that good that everyone says he is. He is Italy's "David Beckham" in the sense that he is all hyped up. They really should think about trying different combinations of fowards into the game to find a better fit.

(this goes out to all Italy haters) YOU ARE ALL LOSERS!!! you guys dont understand the game soccer... Italy got knocked out because Donadoni is a bad coach with little experience... They are the champions of the world their just going through turmoil right now their changing their team and all you Frenchies go stuff your faces with croissonts you arrogant low lives...Italy will pull through in 2010 and win with Lippi coming back as coach and with new players... Forza Italia e Forza Napoli!!!!

(this message is for ITALY'S FAVORITE SON)
YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT... ALL THOSE OTHER LOSERS THATCWROTE BAD THINGS ABOUT ITALY SHOULD BE INSULTED IN THAT WAY... ITALY IS THE BEST AND IT ALWAYS WILL!!!

THANKS FOR READING & REPONDING TO MY LENGTHY COMMENTARY. GETTING OFF THE TOPIC JUST A LITTLE BIT, THERE ISN'T A COUNTRY THAT HAS ITALY'S HISTORY. THINK ABOUT IT. ITALY'S BEEN IN THE LIME LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES, FROM THE DARK AGES, THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE TO PRESENT TIME. WHAT OTHER COUNTRY CAN BOAST THAT? ROME RULED FOR OVER 800 YEARS, & AS GREAT AS AMERICA IS, IT'S ONLY BEEN IN EXISTANCE FOR A LITTLE OVER 200 YEARS & A POWERHOUSE FOR LESS THAN A CENTURY. 4 ALL U ITALY BASHERS OUT THERE, DON'T BE A TOTAL HYPOCRITE. DON'T "EVER" EAT SPAGHETTI, PIZZA, RAVIOLI, LASAGNA, CANOLI, BISCOTTI, PASTA, ETC, ETC, ETC AGAIN! & THAT GOES THE SAME FOR WINE. U FRENCH ARE PROBABLY SAYING, "SACRE BLEU!" GET OVER IT & YOURSELVES.I COULD KEEP GOING ON & ON LIKE YOUR AUNTS'
REAR END, BUT I THINK MY POINT'S EVIDENT. 4 U TWITS 2 TAKE A SHOT @ ITALY'S A BIG TIME SLAP IN THE FACE 2 US & 2 U. THE NEXT TIME U CLOWNS GO 2 A PIZZERIA OR AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT & ARE DOING YOUR BEST IMPERSONATION OF JABBA THE HUT & ARE GORGING LIKE THERE'S NO 2MORROW, ORDER YET ANOTHER MEAL 4 YOUR OTHER FACE. I MAY HAVE BRANCHED OUT A LITTLE, BUT I'LL STEM BACK 2 THE MATTER @ HAND. ALL OTHER TEAMS ARE COMPARED 2 THE AZZURI. THEY ARE THE MEASURING STICK OF GREATNESS & PROVIDE A BLUE PRINT ON HOW THE GAME'S MEANT 2B PLAYED. THERE ARE PLENTY OF IMITATORS, BUT THEY ALL PALE IN COMPARISON. ITALY MAY BE SMALL IN STATURE, BUT THEY STAND HEAD & SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST. SO, 2 U SO CALLED "HATERS" OUT THERE, DON'T LET THE GREEN EYED MONSTER OF ENVY ENGULF U. JUST APPRECIATE THAT SUCH A COUNTRY CAN & DOES EXIST & HAS GIVEN US SOOOOO MUCH THROUGHOUT MAN'S LIFE TIME. THOUGH IT'S 2 LATE 2B ITALIAN IF YOU'RE NOT A PAISON, THERE'S STILL A LITTLE ROOM ON BOARD OF THE GREATEST & STILL REIGNING WORLD CUP WINNING SOCCER TEAM'S BAND WAGON. IT NEVER GETS OLD 2 SAY "VIVA ITALIA" & "FORZA ITALIA!". P.S. NO DISRESPECT 2 OTHER NATIONS, BUT IS IT JUST ME THAT THINKS OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM'S WAY BETTER THAN THE REST? IT'S VERY DISTINCTIVE, DISTINGUISHED, & REALLY GIVES U A SENCE OF PRIDE.

YOU GOT IT TOTALLY RIGHT... ITALY IS THE BEST AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SO MANY THINGS IN THE WORLD... I LOVE YOUR STATEMENTSIN THOSE TWO COMMENTS...

Only the best teams deserve to win. Congrats on winning the euro 08 Italy....o wait......they didn't win....sorry my bad. That's right Spain won. Silly me. How could i ever think Italy could win. HAHAHA. Well c'mon you can't blame them for losing against Spain. They are even on the field but when it comes down to it Spain has the better shooters and the MUCH MUCH better Goalkeeper.Brings me back to my first sentence.....Only the best teams deserve to win. VIVA LA ESPANA!!!

eeewww Spain is soooo bad they didnt even win 1 world cup what losers the euro was luck and that is nothing compared to winning 4 world cups hahaha Spain was just lucky Italy had a bad coach this year or else we would have won the euro and kicked Spain's rear end

with all due respect to viva espana on the spain's site,your eloquence spoke volumes.i do share your sentiments.however,as i stated earlier,there's a moron in every crowd.& that prestigeous award goes to none other than "THAT GUY". if stupidity were gold,u,my friend,would be fort knox.you say you don't want to talk about the past,but doesn't spain's victory constitute as "the past",too? for your benefit,2 years ago's too long ago,but last week's relevent? as far as championships go,what's relevant is the last one played.so,for the record,if i need to spoon feed you,my frivolous friend,the latest trophy's awarded to spain.however,on a grander scale,which is recognized by the "ENTIRE" world,that award for planetary greatness sits on a mantle in "ITALY",thank you very much.you can have the appetizer,but us italians,who know a thing or two about fine dining & eating,will gladly take the 6 course meal with all the trimmings.p.s.your statue of columbus in spain's a pathetic attempt to brain wash people over years into thinking he was a spaniard.confused? thought so.look it up where pages are guilded together called "books" in a place where myriad of them lay in place for the sole purpose of utilization called a "library".enhance your 3rd grade knowledge & check it out

THAT GUY is such a loser and dreams to much about Spain actually being good which they arent... go drink some Sangria and stuff your face with Paella...

i like very much italy plaker.

GO ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the aura italy has when they hit the field is unprecedented.if a team says they're not intimidated by seeing the blue & white uniforms,they're full of it.what other team around the globe can boast that? brazil?not lately.the local high school can beat them any day of the week... & that's the girls team.azzuri,you make us proud to be italian.as far as the reast of the azzuri nation,keep the fate cuz we WILL keep the glory & the cup for @ least another 6 years.p.s. spain,how does the appetizer taste? nothing like that actual meal,i can assure you...

what ever happened to Pato the young Italian that was going to be the future of Italy in ac milan his first game he scored like 3 goal and the other games he always scored but i thing they just bought the games because i havent seen him at all

i'm not sure about this pato guy,but i say bring back totti.we need his confident & artistic style of play back on the team.his leadership was sadly missed in the euro tournament. from what i heard,there was a rift between him & our former coach.now that he's ousted,the door is opened for a return.cannavaro,get healed up cuz we we need you to hold up the cup in pride in 2010.

Italy plays the dirtiest, nastiest football of all the teams in the competition. I'm glad they didn't make it any further than they did, because they don't deserve it. Italy is a bunch of divers, cheaters, and whiners. They think they automatically deserve to win everything they compete in, and so they're terrible losers when they get knocked out of a tournament. Please, grow up and stop acting like babies on the pitch.

what i dont get is that alot of you are basically jsut trashing italy. why cant you just go on the profile of the team you like and praise them. in the end it everyone trash talking each others teams doesnt effect who will win. think about it

Italy should have won the euro cup the only reason they didnt do to good in the game against spain was because we were missing pirlo gattuso cannavaro matterizi and also totti retired, so this euro cup they didnt have their best players so who eva is sayin italy sucks they obviously dont know anything about soccer

italy is going to beat bulgaria 2010 champs

my firend from italy he amayzing at futbol

hes 12 and he can ful bikeit

italy got lucky in the 2006 worldcup final.

hey,football fan,you're a fan of ignorance & stupidity,which is exactly what i think of your narrow-minded,uninsightful comments.you're brave coming on our site & talking out of your rear end about things you obviously have no clue about.what "proud" nation can boast that you're one of theirs? 4 world cups & 5 major titles in all...you really think we achieved all that with those absurd claims of yours? so,the referees & the entire confederation over the years were priveed & cognizant of this so-called-fact of yours,& yet,amazingly,did nothing over the course of time to implement new rules of prevention for such future atrocities? does that sound rational to you,mr opinionated? do me & the rest of world who actually use their brain a favor & don't write about things you have no comprehension about.it insults the intelligence of those who do.

!!!!!ITALY RULES!!!!!

Italy's awful they lost spain won get over it

who the heck asked you to put in your 2 cents?now that you did,that's about how much your statement's worth.get a life.

Italy your the best

Totti is an amazing contribute to the italy soccer team and is always setting up luca toni but i think someone needs to set up Totti so he can score some aswell....

i am not from italy but i love the player in there i known with people like Totti, Gennaro Gattuso,Andera pirlo Luca Toni in their position i konwn italy will win

italy is the best they have some of the best keepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. overall a amazing team

italy will again show the world in 2010 what made them world champs in '06 & repeat.

italy will win the 2010 world cup they have good players. they have the best defense.
they lost to spain becuase they were missing pirlo and gattuso.

italy!!!!!!!!!!!111

forza italia!!!

Ha! Italy lost as they should have the only reason they advanced in the world cup was because the ref helped them win in the game they played the U.S

hey,e cruz.by your ignorant statement,you just let the whole world know what your iq is.if i had to render a guess,i'd say it's some where between that of a house plant & a turnip.go conversate with the rest of your spanish freaks & leave the more intelligent conversations to those who can distinguish reality from fantasy. by the way,you can find solace in the fact that out of 6 billion people on this green & blue planet,there are about a dozen or so dumber than you.

Italy sucks Germany will kill anyday

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTallllyyy rockssssssssssss!!!!!! so does germany

hey,average joe..who did italy beat out in the semi finals in '06? no.it wasn't your grandma's team.(though they probably would've played better!)who did we beat in the '82 world cup? don't even compare the two sides

Pff Italy sucks. France has a better chance of winning. If France beat Brazil in 1998 and 2006 they can beat Italy. What happened in 2006 was just bad timing and luck for the Italians.

ok if your italian. ud understand me. all u italians kno that we love our pride. italians are the proudest of their country. but wat can i say italia is prettyy amazing. but thats beside the point. theses other guys here are just doin this because there haters. liek sriosuly. think about it. they are jsut jelous there not italian. wen u hear the word italy. u think. beauty. greatness, amazing food. lemme remind u. AN ITALIAN discoverd AMERICA. and amerigo vespucci AN ITALIAN named it. nd wen it comes to socccer. well sono compione del mondo. i mean come on now. i understand that we live in america. but these other guys aint sh!t. mexico. hahah cmon now. thats a joke. french.i mean we taugh them a lesson. TWICE. i give creidt to the brazilians. but tahts about it. no one else. but im not sayin were in human. were not super people. jsut better than most.

thats my opinoun. but seriosuly think about it.

forza azzurri.

Italy didnt win :(

soccer dork & below average joe,nobody asked you.if you're dumb,silence is golden.when you state certain things you obviously have no clue about,it only sheds a light on your lack of intellect.p.s.france,keep stuffing escargots in your mouth & germany,you should substitute your white shorts to brown to save embarrassment when you play us.

Argentina 2008 olympics champs and 2010 south africa world champs!!!!!!!!!te rompimos, te rompimos, te rompimos , el culito!!! Italia!!!!!! Arg#1 top of the list in FiFa rankings.

Italy Rules Germany Drools

the best part of argentina's the contingency of italians that inhibit the country,you dork.you'd kick our rears? ha! don't make me laugh.we'll beat you like a drum to that famous tune of yours, "ole,ole ole ole...we lost...to italy."

"vamo, vamo, argentina,vamo,vamo, a ganar, esta barra, quilombera, no te deja, no te deja, de alentar!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARG 3 BRA 0, who is next? Nigeria i dont think so, who is going for the gold back to back ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!! VIVA MESSI!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt want to win all your money besides losers always blame it on the refs,{remember losers blame in on the refs always} thats how sorry Italian soccer is, if it wasnt for the argentine roots, inter milan, ac milan, juventus, they wouldnt exist beside argentineans are not spending any money ur sorry country is hahahahahahahah, ahhaha,cant belive u wont give up, for the moment {ARGENTINA OTRA VEZ CAMPEON OLYMPICO 2008]!!!!VAMOS ARG, MESSI, AGUERO, DI MARIA, PAREJA,MONZON,GARAY,HEINZE, TEVEZ, OHH AND HOW CAN I FORGET IF IT WASNT FOR MARADONA NAPOLI WOULDNT HAVE A ITALIAN TITLE AHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAH!!!LATER FOOLIAS

argentina blows.

italy will run circles around your south american incas!!!!!

mark my words & circle the date:if italy encounters argentina in the next world cup,we will beat them senseless.i have patience,my friend.in the meantime,we'll still bask in the afterglow of our 4th world cup.by the way,how many world cups do YOU guys have? oh,yeah.HALF of what we have.so,by my caculations,we're TWICE as good as you.opinions are like a**holes,everybody has 'em.however,facts speak for themselves.

yeah i know..........i know that argentina will blow away your team by 4 goals, dude, i already know about that!!!! vamo arg

you dont have team work

mey i have a shoes

why you guys are not win the soccer companionship?

Argentina 2010 world champs(which is a joke in itself.)what are you smokin'? what ever it is,stay off of it,son.it's clouding your head with disillusion.your national team's not even good enough to be our bench warmers.you "REALLY" think your soft team could crack our tenacious defense? my,my.i've heard of cases like yours. maybe in practice with an open net.win a couple more titles,then you can urinate with the big boys.

hey,zidan.no team work?individuals can't win titles on their own.you have to look no further that cristian ronaldo for proof.not only do we play as a team,but we've been doing it consistantly over the DECADES. go on germany vs italy on google & check out the replay of how those 2 beautiful goals were scored in the semis 2 years ago & you'll eat your words.

nasrat,are you asking sincerely or are you being sarcastic? i need to know to answer your question appropriately.

hey,Argentina 2010 world chumps.i hope you're good @ math. figure out this equation:brazil minus germany= argentina. argentina squared=italia.notice a pattern? you guys always play 2nd fiddle.

Italia has only won 2/world cups and 1/euro-up in 80+ years. Their first 2 world cups (34,38) were in an era before it was a tournament. (It was an invitational, and the world was gearing for war!) Uruguay also won during the 1930's) Italia always plays with heart, defence, & deviance but they really haven't proven anything since 1982. They deserved it that year. Italia needs to start playing football instead of acting!!!

forza azzurri ragazzi. italy has very good well rounded players. italy was the only team spain could not score on. penalties were just bad luck for italy.

Maradona + Messi= Best players that ever existed in this planet earth, Argentina 2004 + Argentina 2008 Olympic champs= 2010 South Africa Champs............. Oh, Argentina still on the map homie!!!!!!!! later bunch of losers, just remember this!!!!! Burdisso + Zanetti= Inter Milan!!!!! Maradona + Soccer ball= Napoli championship hahahahahhaha

i'm really getting tired of this clown yapping his big jaw about a country i could care less about.argentina,take your 3 stupid medals & go back to south america where you belong.you're lucky,cornuto,because all the things i would like to say has been deleted.so,you're getting the watered down version. i'll make this short & sweet:argentina SUUUUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii luv italy go go go go gogo gog

Italy won 2 of its 4 world cups in the 1930's. Uruguay also won 2 (who???). Italy has not done much in the last half century other than talk and dive. Italians play soccer like they do business. (Must be why no one learns Italian in business school.) Also, why are Italians so insecure? Pride never needs to be displayed. Insecurity does!

what have numerous other countries done in the past half century? brazil & germany won 3 titles & argenITALIA 2.how can our accomplishments during that same time span count as under achieving? i 'll agree with you on one thing.you can't go far with too much pride.with that being said,the same goes for lack of intelligence.
