I'm sick of the 2006 World Cup being mentioned as a viewpoint in all Azzuri arguments.
That's Azzurri
As an Azzurri fangirl, 2006 World Cup brought me wonderful memories. That's why I enjoy mentioning it as well as seeing it being mentioned here and there
Wonder how nobody mentions Euro 2008 when Spain completely outclassed Italy?
They outclassed the Azzurri in the penalty shoot-outs, yeah?
Oh and we are talking about World Cup. Two years from now, you can mention the Spaniards winning the Euros as much as you like.
or why Australia got robbed in the 2006 World Cup?
Poor excuses. Materazzi's red card was bullshit and Italy had to play with one man down most of that game. It was a way more ridiculous decision by the ref comparing to the penalty kick he gave to the Azzurri. And who said Australia could have won that match if the penalty hadn't been given? It was 0-0 at the moment.
or even why France dominated most parts of the final.
Yea and they had a non-existent penalty as well.
Nothing was sweeter than Trzeguet missing his penalty kick in that game
They even use it to defend player abilities. Barzagli is a World Cup Champion. Grosso is a World Cup Champion.
But both Barzagli and Grosso DID win the World Cup honey
Not going to defend their abilities only because they won the World Cup but they were parts of the winning team. Grosso was probably one the best Azzurri players in Germany.
