FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 (18 Viewers)

The US played a good first half

Thought they were quite good on the break, did well to get into the positions. Should have perhaps got at least one from those opportunities.

And whoever said put Santon instead of Zambrotta, yes I agree.

I dont think anyone should take anything that is said in this thread right now personally as ppl need time to cool off. I know I am pissed too when Juve loses so it is the same thing here.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

So what?

Juve is an Italian team, they do represent Italy don't they?

No, they represent part of a city, not a nation.

If they aren't from those countries, then yea, they are mock fans.


Shut up, Sweden.

[Enron]

You not think Santon would do better than Zambrotta?

I think it's a gamble. Santon is what 18 yrs old? I thought until the USA ran out of steam that all four of Italy's defenders looked like crap. I don't know that Santon would make a difference.

Unless of course the referee decides to gift Italy an early red card. Then by all means play Santon.

Can an American player without Italian citizenship play for Juventus?

Yes.

Can he play for Italy without Italian citizenship?

No.

That's the difference.

He can obtain an Italian citizenship, can't he??

Ok, you American fans are whining because Clark was sent off instead of getting a yellow card. And you are whining because you didn't get a couple of penalties. Let us just say that Clark never got sent off. Do you seriously think you would win the game with that type of football? And what, you can't score goals without penalties?

Don't take anything personal (even though I know I will cause some of you to flame my ass )

Andy said A, you said C, he said someone WITHOUT citizenship.

No, they represent part of a city, not a nation.

When they play in Italy, yes. But when they play in Europe, they are representing Italy also.

 

[Enron]

You don't have to like Italy,just show a little more respect towards Italy.So you hate Italy because of De Rossi's elbow?I don't really understand that to be honest.If let's say Onyewu kicked the shit out of Del Piero I wouldn't automatically hate the whole US.That's ridicolous.

I like a couple of their players, but I think Grosso, Gattuso, Camo, De Rossi are dirty.

inter don't even have italian players

US were the better team in the first half, even after the red card.

To suggest the red card didn't have a massive impact on the game is extremely foolish.

I don't know dude, I've supported Italy since I was a little kid. I have no idea what a mock fan is but if you want me to support my country instead, I can't because Armenia as it right now, is not my "Armenia", it's really "East Armenia", as I'm from the West. Being born in Lebanon doesn't help me either because I'm not Lebanese. My passport you say? It's not Armenian or Lebanese, it's Syrian only because my great grandparents had to flee there because of the genocide. And I was raised in the U.A.E nearly my entire life.

What team do you want me to support Burke ?

I'll stick with the one I've found a passion to since I was a little kid, and that is Italy.

so what?...their are called italiens, if they get to play in an ucl final with real madrid, the announcers will call it an italian-spanish derby, no matter how many italians will play for inter.

We were outplaying Italy at the time. Until Rossi came on we outplayed them with only ten men. If we had eleven men we would have had a holding midfielder, so yes I believe the US would have won had it not have been for the red card.

Oh yeah, I'm sure Clark being sent off had no effect on the final score.
