Official 2006 World Cup Thread...Italy wins 1-1 (5-3 PSO)

[dada]

There goes my prediction league points.

Italy wins 2-0.

[Cloudy]

OH NO.. FUCK ITALIANS

[Drex]

Damn...that was so...sad. Awesome game. Best one so far, IMO.

[Cloudy]

oh FUCK NO... 2-0
MY TEARS..

[Buckley]

Wow....waht a good perofrmance by the Italians...but yes, i wasnt expecting this, and there goes all my prediction points.

[Cornerthree]

Unbelievable...

[dada]

Credit to them though. They deserved the win. Besides from prediciton league points, I actually was kinda rooting for them a bit. Coulda had 2 more goals if not for the post.

Nice run by Germany though. They played well but faltered in the end. They deserve credit for playing above the expectations of many. People were saying they were the worst German team ever but they biegged to differ. Kudos. (y)(y)

[cklitsie]

Schade Deutschland, alles ist vorbei...

Damn I just missed 10 full points in my prediction league, I had 1-2 instead of 0-2.
Oh well, 3 pts is cool too, most had Germany winning.

[Matt]

Oh damn, Italy OWNED the last 90 seconds....a most exciting conclusion i've seen so far. First 118mins....0 goals....last 2 we get 2.

The most awesome, stab in the heart ever.

[Andreas Dahl]

Damn, too bad for Germany Italy played a very good game though and isn't undeserving of the win. It's just a shame it had to happen with just one and a half minute left in the overtime. I would have loved a penalty shootout (and seeing Germany in the finals), but oh well, that's the way she goes. Kudos on both teams for playing a very entertaining and well played game..

[dada]

it was an awesome game for real. I've never watched a game that went 0-0 so long have so much action...at least what I remember.

[ultimateplaya]

I thought that match would go into penalty shoot-outs.... Good work by Italy to pick up the win.

[hova-]

That is tough ....... cant find many words

The win is ok for Italy, they had the better chances in the extra time ...

It is hard to loose a game like this in that way, but hey no one even in Germany gave anything about this team and they reached the seminfinals.

So I am sad, but pretty satisfied, we are among the best teams in the world.

[Abctest123]

Sigh...would have preferred Germany going on to the finals, them playing so well plus being the host. Still slightly pissed about the Italy-Australia game.

[Joe']

Oh, fuck, I didn't expect this!! I don't mean Italy winning, but actually deserving it. This is the first match in the World Cup they play against a good team and the first time I see ALL the players putting all themselves into the match.
Too bad for Germany, especially for Lehmann, who showed that even if he's 37 years old, he still can be a GREAT goalkeeper.

[Mighty Mos]

Schade Deutschland, alles ist vorbei...

wtf ck? you can talk some german?

Anyways, I'm really pissed at the moment. Not just that Germany lost but also losing at the very end of the game Also I was really ready for the penalty-shootout and the parties afterwards. Now Germany lost and you don't see anybody smiling around here (except those italian pizza people)
Goddamn, this just sucks

Goddamn, this just sucks

This just about sums it up ...

[Jackal]

Schade Deutschland, alles ist vorbei...

All Dutch students have Duits as a compulsary subject in de middelbare school over here. Not me though. I'm had Spanish.

[debiler]

Fuckin' hell no...

Why do they have to make their best game against us? Throughout the tournament, Italy sucked. How could they score in the final two minutes? Germany totally controlled the game in regulation. I won't say it's undeserved, but it's just so sad... We played a great world cup so far, while Italy had their first game where they weren't crap. Aw, man...

[Srbija]

Massive shock since Germany are the host nation. Damn Italians, now they are through to the Final.

GO PORTUGAL! I have a feeling they will win the World Cup.

[j.23]

usually i don't give a shit who wins, but i'm glad the italians won. i tuned in during extra time right when an italian player and a german player collided midair. it was quite obvious the italian player was the only one who got hit, but the idiot german faked like he got smacked in the head - nothing remotely close even touched him there. two goals in the last minute, that was embarassing. go italy

[iG®]

Cmon people, how can anyone like a team who always, I repeat, always wins at the last minutes of the game.... They were better, I agree, but they probably wouldn't be here if there wasn't a Aussie diving penalty...

Yoou should have seen the whole game. Italian players going down as if they'd been hit over the head with a night stick every five minutes. Why do they have to be such pussies? They don't need that. In overtime, they showed that they can do better. And without flopping.

[J@3]

Yeah I thought that too, the diving is incredible. It's like the Germans didn't commit one tackle without an Italian player flying across the pitch and holding his face/knee/ankle/arm etc.
