[Friendly] Italia vs Ukraine [02-06-2006] (1 Viewer)

[Tariq]

In 1982 before Italia went on to win the World Cup three major things happened:
1982
1) there was a big scandal
2) Italy drew(1-1) the first friendly of the two of before the World Cup
3) Italy lost the second friendly of the two before the World Cup.

Yeah that's right and I also think that Paolo Rossi was removed from the list of players who were going to play for Italy in 82 due to the scandal, but then somehow he made it to the World Cup after the Italian Football Federation allowed it and he brought the cup back home.

Who's gonna be our Paolo Rossi this year?

The answer is already there. I just hope he does it.

No, not really. It's a worthy Info if you ask me.

[Vinman]

well comparing brazil and their pashion to the game with italy is just a joke to me. brazil is brazil end of story.

Its also the media what might be causing this what you describe about italy. you think its good to prepare if you are in the centre of media and because of negative reasons? thats not easy.

that statement is just a joke to me

Why? What does it tell you exactly?

Why? What does it tell you exactly?

People are moaning about two Friendly games that Italy played. People moaning and keep on saying that they can't see Italy going far in the WorldCup after these two friendlies, that information, explains everything. Italy already lost their last game before the worldcup82, and yet they clinched the Cup. Interesting no?

So, my point here is just give it a break and stop predicting how failure Lippi's men will be in the world cup and just watch.

Italy are set to flop once again. Shame though, as they appear to have the right stuff every time.

This is why I compared them to Inter.

My point is that, how events panned out in '82 has no bearing on whatever will happen in 2006.

This is why I compared them to Inter.

I know

I was not talking about results of training or friendly matches, i am talking about attitude to these matches. Players like Cannavaro and Gatusso always seem to have the right attitude and its no wonder they are very consistent, now you compare that to the attitude of guys like Pirlo, Totti , Camoranesi and to a smaller extent Dp and its no wonder these guys are very inconsistent. As long as you are wearing your country's colours, you ought to automatically show passion and prove why you are wearing that shirt above a million other Italians and not act like its just some other game and you will be able to raise your game when it really matters. Form and confidence is not something you can just switch on and off like a tap.
I am still not sure why the goal keepers never got a look in at all, they ought to have played at least a half in both games as you never know when you might need them.
Its not just even that , its the scandal as well as surely it must have gotten to the players and thats my biggest worry

Indeed. I was hoping Peruzzi could atleast play for 20 or 30min.
