Screw Italy AND Brazil, go USA. We're bigger than Italy plus we don't have stadium disasters every weekend.

You're too busy eating to do anything else!

Love the sig by the way.

We love our dollar menu, baby.

And yeah, I think my sig is fitting. Nothing like a fast, quick-paced, cushy, not overrated, best thing in the world to wipe your ass crack clean with.

I'd give Grosso more credit than that. Sure he's not of the best players in the world, even in his position but he's a solid player who we could rely on & would add a sense of security in a backline needing it so much.

Thats my argument, he's a solid player nothing more, i can name 7-8 leftbacks in Europe better than him.

One decent season with Palermo and a good WC doesnt make you a world beater

doesnt make him a bad player either
certainly hes good enough to play for juve and be a starter

Again i say thats only because Juve have Molinaro as starting leftback, Imo he wouldnt start for most of the top European teams.

 

[Paolo Rossi]

I actually havent watched Grosso play in the league at all this year, but I did watch the Spain/taly game and he was phenomenal in that game. When Grosso plays that way, he is one of the best leftbacks in the world.

How did Grosso play for Lyon this year?

 

[Ahmed]

50-50...struggled against tbe better wingers in Ligue 1

Yes, but we won't sign any world beaters & espicially not in the LB position, IMO the best we can realistically hope for is a player of Grosso's ability

 

[Esteban]

laugh all you like mate, but IMO they are
'WORLD' champions buddy.. learn to live with it

On penalties and through Materazzi's dirty antics. Not to mention your "tough" run to the final where you had to dive to a penalty to surpass the mighty Australia and then play the even mightier Ukraine in the quarters. And to top it off, you were 2 minutes away from going to penalty kicks with Germany (100% sure loss). I wouldn't be too proud.

Anyway, that's OT.

Hahahahah yep, we totally won the world cup all on chance & luck, we didnt deserve it at all.. I guess our players like Cannavaro & Buffon played shit and luck and luck alone won us the hardest competition ever.

 

[Esteban]

I am merely saying, France are recognized as the real World Champions in my book. And I reckon this is the opinion of most sane people too.

Yea, really shows why Buffon hadn't conceded any goal during the whole competition, except for Zidane's goal at the final. Seriously, come on, you can't base it all on luck. We just had the right coach, and the more experienced players, that's it.

Most Italians aren't sane .. Seriously tho, I couldnt disagree more and I have no doubt either one of us will not succeed in convincing the other one that their "opinon" is wrong so I wont respond

:rofl2: yeah right!

then again that could be said for quite a few other players in our team
its the whole team as a group that make good teams not just how good an individual is

 

[Marceℓℓo]

Deserved or not,Italy are World Champions that's a FACT.Call it luck or whatever you like to call it but Italy did not concede one single goal throughout the whole tournament,except that own goal by Zaccardo against USA and the penalties.

Ghana W 2-0
United States D 1-1
Czech Republic W 2-0
Australia W 1-0
Ukraine W 3-0
Germany [aet] W 2-0
France [5-3 ap] D 1-1

If Italy are not deserved World Champions,I don't know who then...

I know.

 

[Eddy]

Yeah right. I can't believe people here are still shook up that Italy beat France. What about Euro2000, Trezeguet scored in the last minute of extra time, what if he didn't score and they went to penalities, oh right, Italy still wouldn't deserve a chance to win.

 

[Gazzo]

Ikoninhosa, I agree that gilardino has been terrible at Milan but the fact you are relating this matter back to Italia's triumphant World Cup is weakining your argument
