Believe me, it can. Especially when you're together "in ritiro" 24/7 for possibly more than a month. You need a strong group, or you're screwed. One of the things the Dutch team has learned a few times over the past few years :D

I don't know that. I merely think that may have been the case. And I'm pretty sure Lippi has (or had) that exact same idea. And based on what I read earlier, or how I interpreted it at least, none of the selected players where disappointed that Cassano wasn't there. Let alone Miccoli. I...

Prejudice, I guess. I have always believed that the unity of a team is the most important thing when you go to a tournament such as the World Cup. Players like Cassano & Miccoli are very likely to disrupt that unity & create internal troubles. If you then factor in the fact that both Cassano...

:tup: Something was lacking in the team, and I don't even know who I would have selected in Lippi's place, but it sure as hell would not have been Cassano or Miccoli.

Personally, I cared a lot less about this Italy side than the ones in the past. Partly due to the fact that we (as in Juve, not Italy) just had an awful season. But mainly due to the Calciopoli farce still leaving a bitter aftertaste. But even though I was & still am watching this...

Of course. Did you not see him during the national anthem?

:delpiero: Best & most sensible post in the entire thread. Fact is that most of us Juventus fans on this forum, myself included, didn't have a single reason to fall in love with the team, yet we did. Which is actually pretty silly, undeniably so. In fact, it would have been a hell of a...

Was at a friend's place a while back, was nothing on the telly & we were somewhat bored & looking for a few laughs. Our local MTV network just happened to be showing a Jersey Shore marathon so we ended up watching 2 episodes (had read about it before, but never seen it). Laughs were had.

That was bound to happen sooner or later.

I wouldn't even touch "it" with a stick.

You can't possibly be that ugly. You just can't.

Yeah, and if you're sitting rather low behind the goal, you can't even see it when they score a goal, due to the positioning of the advertising boards. Happened to me last year at the Belgian Cup Final. The entire section (including me) jumped up at what looked to be a certain goal, only to...

No doubt about that, it's almost as bad as the old Delle Alpi. Still, when it's sold out you can create a nice atmosphere.

I bought tickets myself as well. Which sector are you in?

I see them going far as well, though I don't think they'll win it. To clarify myself: I was not talking about the current German team, but rather certain teams of previous tournaments.

Regardless of the players they'll be fielding, Italy is always regarded as a great team. So them going out early could be considered as choking. In fact, I've already heard a few guys predicting that they're going to win the entire thing again. On paper, I can't see them going far. But I...

Crap, I was kinda looking forward to watching a lot more football, but I guess I'll have to stop.

No one in particular. Just thought the whole "we" discussion was funny.

Are you sure about that, because WE seem to read the same things each & every week. And WE do not like that.
