When was that?
It's funny, while ADP has never fully satisfied the desire of the Azzurri supporters (or the neutrals, or the haters), he is what, top 5 in all time goals for Italia? Had he buried one of those glorious chances in 2000, Italy would have won, and nobody would be talking shit about him. It's the difference of about an inch, when striking the ball. If you're a Euro winner, a WC winner, and top 5 all time in Azzurri goals, than clearly you're a key player for championship teams.

I get your point, many make it, but it's really interesting how small the margins are in discussions like this... Sports are funny like that.

Wow, what a foul by Chiellini and the ref didn't give it.
Yeah, just like in South Korea. Or earlier in the game, when Pazzini got sent off 3 minutes in.

You sound like one of our rivals talking about Juventus. :D

Damn, you changed that quote quickly...

We were talking about entertaining football that Italy used to play.

I know you were...

But you were also asking when Del Piero's Italy was, and I was just stating that he was an important part of a fairly successful generation of Italian football.

Fucking hell, Ireland equalizes. Damn you Keane... this was coming for awhile though.

Italians always had top quality, especially the generation that won the WC was full of great players. But they never played entertaining football that attracts the majority of fans. They always played on result, which is more than ok, but lets not fool ourselves and say that they played good for the eye.
