I'm laughing so hard at all you bitches who were prematurely celebrating Italy's demise, calling them a lower-tier team, etc.They've got their groove on now, and they'll only get better. Prepare yourselves for more parades in your hometowns.
They still are a lower-tier team.Only reason they're still in is thanks to Marco van Basten.
>>169792Yeah, a lower-tier champion of the world. Funny that.
>>169792Van Basten will be sacked after Italy owns Holland in semis.THIS STORY IS OLD, I KNOW, BUT IT GOES ON.
The winner of the Spain-Italy quarter-final, will win the tournament.
>>169798Spain > Italy and you drive home, sir!
>>169800Italy will beat Holland 2-0.
ITT Britfags.
>>169806i wouldn't say that...still got holland for favorite!
Italy will get a red card during the Spain game, securing victory for Holland.
>>169813Holland/Portugal/Spain always start good but choke on important matches.lol chokers.
>>169815This is correct.
Italy - Canna, Pirlo, and Gattuso still > Spain
Spain were choking agaisnt Sweden, i doubt they will play decent football agaisnt Italy.
"hello i got a pizza diavolo for mr. Donadoni"
>>169833Prediction: De Rossi is going to have a monster game defensively vs. the Spanish and emerge as the leader of the team.
>>169837I would prefer De Rossi over Del Piero.Even though thats like giving it to Rino.
scoring with own goals and PK's proves nothing. I hate you italian scum bags.
/sp/ hates italy because it follows the standard 4chan mentality, aka succesful=bad. Italy has players of enormous quality like nesta and pirlo and buffon and del piero.
>>169950I hate people who hate people
>>169984No shit. Three Italian players not in this tournament (Canna, Totti, and Nesta) could start on any team in the world.
totti blows.
italian can win the em 2008 only with corruption...example like juventus did it in the italian football league
>>170038Whatever. They've advanced DESPITE the refs' best attempts to keep them out.
