Oh, so only the pretty teams can go trough ?
Why the $#@! are you supporting an italian team even
and that's why I was just thinking, cannavaro statement about being italian must be proud of the italian heritage which is defending, is totally wrong and too outdated, one of the reason is what was discussed here some time ago, the game has changed, defending is actually frowned upon by the goverment who rule football -fifa- by giving too much advantage to attackers compared to what I often saw you said it : glorious past era football.
so in some way, brutal defending like in the past which italian are proud of would just awarded by punishment more often that actual reward.
and about the game, it's ridiculous that you who often talk about tactics yet turn blind eye with the fact that we could not even string more than 4 passes, much less attacking them, which by definition is what part of supposedly tactics.
being pleased with the game we just saw is literally like being pleased with winning 1-0 by controversial penalty in coppa quarterfinal against mid table serie a team (heck it could even be parma) who in reality actually created more chances than us over 2 legs.
yet I can surely bet that 95% members here would not be so pleased.
