Match Thread (Euros) Germany V Italy - Qf

[The Cockney Don]

Historically, Italy are Germany's bogey team.

 

Draw in 90mins for me then, but with Germany going through in Extra-Time or on Penalties.

[tup]

Come on Italy.

[The Oxford Don]

Italy but not over 90.

[Bluto10]

Italy, hopefully.

 

A proper football nation.

[OddJob]

Mon the Azzuri

 

Also on a sidenote They're going to have to get away from this applauding instead of minutes silences.

[tup]

Crap game so far.

[OddJob]

Crap game so far.

Think it's just similar to all the other games between them so far - 2006 aside - cagey affairs but sure there will be a bit more tenacity to come

[tup]

Really poor first half.

[tup]

This is hardly worth watching. Turgid stuff.

[Bluto10]

Crap game so far.

You're crap

[tup]

You're doing well to still be awake its an hour and three quarters past bedtime.

[Redforever86]

This is pish

[Redforever86]

This is pish

[tup]

Game on at last.

[RAZOR]

ET is pish

[tup]

If the game has been shite it should go straight to penalties to save the viewer suffering another half hour of tedium.

[Jigot]

Hope I'm wrong but the Tallies will win the spotkicks.

[tup]

What a shite game. Come on Italy.

 

They have not missed for 31 penalties running quite astonishingly.

[vanderark14]

Well that was a shit pen by Zaza then Muller

[Jigot]

I've not missed a penalty since I hit the post during a shootout in the county schools semi-final, primary 7

I burst oot greeting like a big Jessie.

[Jigot]

Fuck sake he hit that with a sand iron

[tup]

That's my bet fucked.

 

Nazi fuckers.

[Bluto10]

Italy ain't been the same since I idolized Baggio from 89-95

[OddJob]

Some of the worst penalties I've ever see. In a shootout. WTF was Zaza's pen all about?

Was that the trundler that crawled pass the post? If it was , he looked as if he had Dartitis in his right foot.

Zaza came on as a sub in the 30th minute of extra time presumably with the sole reason of taking a penalty.

That went well.

No it was the guy who took an eternity with his run up and then blazed over the bar ha ha

I know, terrible terrible penalty

[CalgaryDon]

Had hoped that Italy would have progressed. Theres not been a real standout team IMO - maybe Wales or more for the fact what they have achieved is an amazing accomplishment. Hope Iceland win the Euros.

[minijc]

Couple of real quality pens in the shoot out but the majority of them were shit, quite a funny thing to watch.
