Italy always go for the small 1 or 2-0 score and then the defend routine. Very tiring to watch and very boring football. But they are probably the only ones that can do it properly and get away with the win. Greece try to do it but always cop it. Never works for them, yet they still continue with it. When will they learn? If they stop doing it they may get into a world cup.

Brazil lookreally good. Tip for the final, if not the whole thing. They just lookd irresistable, some FANTASTIC football played today.

M.

 

Here here, the only team that plays football for the purpose it was designed....to entertain. Fecking Italians cost me 12 notes on a bet to score in both halfs. Could have scored anytime they wanted in the second half but decided to shut up shop instead. Boring gits

 

Cheating bustards though - Rivaldo was disgusting.

 

Yes - why can't FIFA use video evidence against him and give him a yellow or red card

 

Fifa are to review the incident tomorrow...given their supposed clampdown on cheating at this tournament they have to take action IMHO.

 

that was funny as **** his dive!

Gonna be them or Italy!

 

Unfortuantley the game was too big for the Ref

I bet the defender is well gutted.... he made the decision to stop him and get sent off only to have the penalty given... i'd be [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Poor bugger

 

Italy 2 Brazil 1 that will be the score of the final we will have revenge for 94 those stupid penalties.As for saying Italy play boring matches i dont think so it is called tactics something that other teams have never heard of, the result matters in the end and i dont think Italy played that bad.England wish they had Vieri instead of that ****ty Heskey who looks more like a boxer than a footballer at least then they could get a striker to score intead of a defender.

..and blatant gamesmanship from Brazil on at least two in-range free kicks where they messed around to delay the kick taking and then broke ranks on the whistle so when the ball was kicked there were two Brazilians at about 3yds from the kicker. Grrr...

They just don't need to do it...or maybe they do...
