Just came in,

FORZA AZZZZZZZURRRRRRRRRRIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:weee:

Really we had the game in control,yeah pitty for France for losing Ribery but if they rely only on him,they got a problem.(we miss Canna the whole tournament)

Bravo to everyone,played really well and i can proudly say and after Holland,in this group we deserved to go through!
France looks like shit,really,they have no game at all,and IMO Domenech is to blame at 80% of their failure.
ANd Romania,they only play tactical defence,with counter attack that relies on MUTU.
Italy didn't play bad in any game,even vs Holland,yeah we got crashed,but still we had our chances,you can't deny it.
And vs Romania the luck wasn't on our side,Dissallowed goal+penalty...
Tonight we finally WON.not the best performance,but a good one!
And beetwen these 3 teams,there is no even a doubt that Italy desrved it.

Proud of Azzurri anyday,ofcourse today!
Spain match is going to be tough,for sure,but the mission is possible.one game,anything can happen.

FORZA AZZURRI!
Congrats everyone!:beer:
I like you already:juventus: :juventus: :juventus: :juventus: (world cups)
:juventus: (euro cup)

The guy from Fox Sports World, Bobby McMahon's predictions were all wrong. :lol:

Group C
1. France
2. Romania
3. Italy
4. Netherlands

There has to be at least one surprise and for me this is it. I flipped between France and Italy not to qualify and the decision eventually swung on Cannavaro’s injury and the potential France have available from the bench. We will see

Bobby is okay, better than the ESPN dolts, but he is still a whack job when it comes to football.

I predicted Holland first and Italy second, and that's what happened. No idea how anyone could have confidence in France after Zidane's departure. It was always obvious they would fail.

I just found it funny how it was the total opposite, and how he just ruled the Netherlands out right away.

De Rossi MoTM!

Man, I thought the Azzurri did better but they were still crap, and France must be at a new level of lowness since they were much worse than Italy today. Except maybe Benzema.

Henry should join Inter. He seems to fit the criteria.

Italia thru bcos they're the best of the worst in Group C.
They play like amateur team, real crap!
Nothing's special w/ Azzurri's performance so far.

I personally just relieved they thru.

other than our lets-pass-to-toni-who-cant-seem-to-score problem, our defence needs some MASSIVE improvements, and fast. david villa and torres can slaughter us all at the rate they're going. COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNN

Italia didnt play a special game...I think De Rossi and Pirlo were the real key players..

We need to rely on the Spain's mental strength (or lack thereof), for Italy to progress further.

Regardless of what happens, Donadoni has showed his class and experience. With good amount of Italian talent, he was able to make them look like shit (similar to Holland game). Very unimpressive performance, beating a terrible France squad.

This just proves that Domenech is significantly worse than Donadoni, although thats not very encouraging for Italians.

Italy played far better against Romania, and I would say that DP started better than Cassano. Italy are really lucky that France have Domenech. (Abidal as CB? Common? And to think he didn't bring Mexes with him)

I don't even feel the celebration..

I know the teams has been underpressured but the thing is they didn't play well and they thru, and celebrate it as if they were the Euro champ.

We can't play like this against the spaniards.

As for the formation, 4-5-1 could be the better option.
They have good looking-assasins in front.
Everything would be difficult for Azzurri team, exept both Torres and Villa got injured or being sent off.
*impossible thought*

I loved the way the last sentence on goal.com's player ratings is just written "A beast" for DDR coz thats what that kid is!
Now for Spain, from attacking midfield going forward, they are just powerful. They're backline should be given a test but without Pirlo, I dont know where the decisive balls will come from bar maybe Cassano and Camo. DDR will be playing deep so his passes will be more of outlet passes. It'll be a hard game for Azurri but it feels good to know that they will probably be rated the underdogs

I laugh Spain loses like 2-0 to Greece and Sweden wins 2-0 instead throwing all predictions out the window. If its Spain Italy play though, I expect something like this

--------------------Buffon-------------------------
---Zambro-----Panucci---Chiellini---Grosso-----
----Camo--------DDR-----Ambro-----Perotta----
-------------------Cassano------------------------
--------------------Toni--------------------------
