Whatever the result is, proud of Italy's efforts in this tournament. They are really proving a lot of people wrong.

That is the truth.
i have been a huge fan of everything related to italy since i was young. just about anything you can name.
i have been supporting juventus and the azurri since i was 7.
fuck it, i can sing the national theme out of my head, and like everyone here, i dont know more then 4 words of our own theme.
offcourse i will support belgian athletes every time, but when it comes down to football, nothing moves me as much as a juventus or azurri game.
yet if i had been a professional football player, i'd still would chose my nation of birth.
According to your opinion this might make me a "faux fan", but like with 98% of american opinions, stick it where the sun doesnt shine.

enough with the shit talk... I'm thinking about possible tactics to kill spain in the final; one I can think off is to field 3-5-2 with maggio and balzaretti on the wings and replacing marchisio with montolivo in the middle
then instructing cassano balotelli to concentrate attack on spain's flanks during counter attack.... I can't help but think the sergio ramos - jordi alba flank will be quite weak and can't handle both cassano - balotelli on counter attacks...

Y'know, I have to fucking laugh when I read and hear from pundits and "experts" who say this is the weakest/most average Italian team ever. I honestly think this is the best team (as a unit) since 2006. Awesome keeper, solid as fuck defence, BRILLIANT midfield and good attack; add to that an extremely underrated coach who is tactically flexible and allows his team to play fluid, attractive and attacking football. There is a great spine in this team, and I can't for the life of me understand why people didn't really rate this team from the beginning. It's a much more balanced and well rounded squad than Italy had in 2008 and 2010. Just look at the players from those teams, some absolute dinosaurs there, players picked on reputation and "experience" and not form. Donadoni was a fucking shite coach (his insistence on his shitty, defensive version of the 4-3-3) and Lippi, who absolutely lost the plot in his second stint.
I already knew early on that Italy would go far, mainly due to Prandelli and strong Juve backbone with a very strong Juve defense. Obviously there aren't any Tottis or Baggios but as we've seen recently having a great attack and shit defense won't do you much good, defending counts for a lot now if even more than it used to.
Yeah look I really do not care, I agree with Madvillian that it is a little odd to hear people say we but really who am I to judge? If you feel it, if you have love and passion for a team I will not tell you to support your own country. At least you guys follow the team unlike a lot of glory hunting Italians who come out of the woodwork when we are winning. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise, forza Azzurri, if you love the team you should continue supporting it.
