ahhhh that sucks. ah well. thats how it goes i guess. i really wonder why buffon chose to let spain take the first pk. italy really had a poor choice of attackers. bye bye to donadoni i think

will be interesting for spain to play russia again.

edit: LOL, mahone

first time in history Italy is not lucky, anyway very poor game,

i guess you dont remember

2004 - 3 way tie and not getting out of the group

2002 - in 4 games total of 5 goals called back for offisde/foul

2000 - seconds away from final whistle while leading 1-0

1998 - shootout loss to france

1994 - shootout loss to brazil

1990 - shootout loss to argentina

they didnt have a team that was going to win this tournament though

I agree, it was a pretty poor game but at least Spain did deserve to go through with the chances they've created.

Scirwode

what i mean is that Italy almost always win it when it came to penalties (excepting WC 94 and don't remamber 90) they usually get through without doing too much.

but anyway, i don't think donadoni should not go back to italy, he is the cause of all this IMHO!!!!!!

thats a pretty broad statement. 'usually get through without doing too much'. no team gets through without at least working hard for it.

also, italy dont almost always win when it comes to penalties. i mentioned right there - 1990, 1994 and 1998 world cup exits were to PKs. (semi, a final, and quarter final)

but anyway, i don't think donadoni should not go back to italy, he is the cause of all this IMHO!!!!!!

hahah, yeah, i think donadoni wont be too liked right now. EDIT: actually he wasnt too liked in terms of italy coach before the tournament even.

Decent game for sure, though it was very slow paced until the last 25 minutes of the game and over time. Italy showed us again they are the masters of defense and they did not allow any space for Spain to maneuver.

Nonetheless, Spain deserved the win tonight and they got it.

Well with Italy gone. Finally all the boring, defensive teams are out... now tournament gets interesting.. Germany has a better chance against Turkey but you can never count Turkey out till the final whistle.. lets see what happens coz the Germans may get overconfident and fall to a "never say die" Turkish team.

As far as second semi goes.. If Spain thinks they are facing same Russia they beat 4-1 they will be out of Euro by halftime in that game.. This is a Russian side which beat favorites Holland 3-1 and van Basten himself came to their dressing room to congratulate them and said you outplayed us.. van Basten is also reported as saying.. Russia are the favorites now to lift the trophy.. Spain will have their hands full this time with Arshavin back and Russian defence peaking a just the right time.. if they play the same way they played Italy.. Russian counter attacks may prove too deadly. Interesting game, can go either way..

But IMO.. if Russia goes to the final.. Germany/Turkey wont be able to stop them!

ever since i have been following football. i never saw italy being lucky.

ALWAYS unlucky.

they were my fav team in the world cup.

well at least they will be holders until 2010.

You have got to be kidding me!!! how do you suppose the won the World cup?!?!!!? They beat France twice coz of 2 red cards.. in world cup it was Zidane.. this time it was Abidal.. they were lucky when ball slipped out of Buffon's hands this game.. they were lucky to get through to quarter finals in forst place.. their luck FINALLY ran out..

they are old.. their stirkers except del Piero can be better replaced by wooden poles so Pirlo and company and knock the ball in by hitting those... Toni is an idiot to be very frank.. spends more time holding is head than thinking how to get goals.. Italians are lucky to be world champs.. personally I would have love to see Scotland qualify for Euro rather than this Italian team that plays boring football.. the Scots would have had some fun and played beautiful football!!!

Who do you support out of the four semi-finalists? and who is your favorite to win?

I support Russia and I think they can win the whole thing now!

^i agree with you about Italy being a boring team that always plays defensive but last WC they did something for which i'll be always thankful to lippi, they played with 4 forwards (del piero, iaquinta, totti & gilardino) and Pirlo behind'em against Germany and France in the last minutes something unbelievable in Italy and it worked!!!!!

anyway, for this semis i'm with Turkey in the first one even if they only have 12 or 13 players even if their chances are very little, and in the second with Rusia because they play very well, they beaten Holland and because i don't stand the Spanish!!!!!!!

relax man. they were soo lucky to be there eh? lucky to begin the game against holland with an offside goal? and to score first against romania with a good goal but have it called back for offside? i'm not saying they should have beat holland or won euro, but they deserved to get out of the group. they do have a very poor offense in this tournament and some things should have been different.

i wish they played a bit more like they did when they came out against scotland in that last qualifier. they came out with hunger and really wanting to score. theyve played like that quite a lot in the past. toni really did **** all for italy, but the guy did score 120+ goals in the past 5 seasons for his clubs, so you really cant leave the guy at home.

anyway i think it'll be a very interesting rematch for russia-spain. but of the teams left i think germany will win.

Sooo

what can 14 man Turkey do against Germany on wednesday?

fatih terim just said that our back up goalkeeper might play as a striker if necessary...

I will cheer for Turkey to death... but i believe its going to be way tougher than any game we played.

villa exaggurated his feelings but there was a tackle directly to his feet inside the box.

I'm starting to think you say rubbish like this purposely just to start fights on the internet. His feet weren't touched, what he fell over because the mighty Chielini's feet created a gust of wind 2 metres away? He got the ball (Villa), moved it back and fell over because he saw the opportunity. The ****** deserved the yellow.
