  1. Euro 2004: Italy - Sweden (Group C)

    A 2-2 draw would be nothing more then a coincidence. If say for example Sweden has a 2-1 lead in the 80th minute, what incentive do they have to let Denmark score an equalizer? Do you think the Swedish coach (or coaches, isn't it?) really care if Italy or Denmark advances alongside them? They...
  2. Euro 2004: Italy - Sweden (Group C)

    Just wait for the inevitable. If Sweden – Denmark ends 2-2, all the Italians will complain about how this tournament was fixed, FIFA has it in for them, UEFA has it in for them, Scandinavia has it in for them.

    I guess he didn't play all that poorly, I just think him and Perotta leave something to be desiered. The Italian midfield has no width with Cassano, Pirlo, Perotta and Gattuso. Of course Zambrotta and Pannuci did very well on the wings but that leaves the back somewhat suspect. Maybe that is why...
  6. Euro 2004: Italy - Sweden (Group C)

    Always the same thing for Italy huh? Never able to go for the juglar and get that second goal. They were inspired in the first half, but unable to finish. They had a few florishes in the second but around the 70th, it was obvious they weren't going to add another. The defense got disorganized...
