lets all laugh at italy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimbob]

I guess some people don't get it, I know that we got done big time at this World Cup due to poor team selections from Lippi and making wrong tactical and formational moves at times. The constant talk of diving is absolutely disgusting, most people have their heads up their rear ends. First of all 06, it wasn't a dive, Lucas Neill clearly did make contact, even watch the video on youtube and get over it. De Rossi's wasn't a dive either he clearly had his shirt pulled, of course that would be a penalty. We all saw this coming from the players Lippi chose, if he had chosen Rossi, Totti, Cassano, Santon and Miccoli we wouldn't have went down the way we did this World Cup. People can all joke around as much as you want but I respect what Lippi has done for us, and I admire the heart the Azzurri put in the last 10 minutes against the Slovaks. There is no easy game in International Football and there is clear evidence of this at this World Cup.

Just watched the highlights now on SBS. I thought it summed Italy up perfectly when quagliarella was in the goal at the end clutching his face as if he'd been hit by a heavyweight boxer. Surely you can't defend that pathetic play acting? Do any of you Italians get at all embarrassed when you see your fellow country men behaving like that?

I agree and its not just a dig at the Italians although they are a big offender, but how can you not be embarassed for these 'apparent' men that carry on like this, someone pulls your shirt and you hit the deck like you've been hit with a f#@king harpoon, come on open your eyes Bianchi9Amaranto, these guys are fairies not men.

And yes Im embarassed when Aussies and the English do it.

I'm English. I would cringe if a player behaved like that in an England shirt.

[Loppermann]

so you'll take me up on that bet will you?

[Loppermann]

this is a very popular thread and it goes to show how jelous people are of Italy's success over the years, oh well you can laugh as much as you want but how many of you 's are still supporting your own team at this world cup??????

If that was the case, then why isnt there also a "lets all laugh at brazil" or a "lets all laugh at germany" thread?

think about it...

Both of those teams haven't been eliminated yet. Particularly, they haven't failed to progress in a group with NZ in it

I'm sure SOME people would laugh at them if they finished below NZ

you would be right, but they didn't
Italy did
and that's why we're laughing

Yes Italy were pathetic but i think they have won more world cups then the amount of goals Greece has scored in world cups?

Yeah, that was the only bit that was embarrassing when the referee came over to them when Quagliarella was trying to get the ball back from the Slovak keeper and he fell over. So yes I was embarrassed with the team performances and some of the displays that were going on but besides that, I'm sick of all the racial talk going on. It's like trying to fish off a skyscraper.

I didn't know we were talking about Sebastien Vettel.

[norwood9]

your beloved divers ate the grenache this world cup, no need to bring up the past, its not necessary, we are discussing 2010.. italy is a team of has-beens, hacks, sooks, big heads and divers, poor form forza italia[/quote]

i didn't bring up the past the racists did i just stated facts
mrg i do agree with your comments about the italian team being pathetic with no heart and no ideas on the pitch

[Madridista612]

I was embarrassed when Torres went down last night and Estrada got a red card...and Torres got touched.

[Stitch This]

I've stopped laughing. Now can we get on with the round of 16?

[metaldomes]

please don't

[Dad's Army]

please don't

You really have the gift of the gab.

[Loppermann]

were you also embarassed at Spain's performance?
if Del Bosque wants them to be remembered as the best team in World Cup history, they won't do it with that attitude
more negative than Greece in the second half

[bapa]

Yes Italy were pathetic but i think they have won more world cups then the amount of goals Greece has scored in world cups?

Best post so far

[Kosta Utd]

few days on and im still laughing

It was very boring, but Chile were letting them have the ball because both teams were happy with the result, from now on that won't happen given that it's the elimination round and both teams can't really be happy with the result if one of them is going home. We'll see what happens against Portugal, I'm a little worried but I still believe we have the talent to win.

If you are talking about Torosidis who was studded in the thigh and the Nigerian player subsequently sent off, then yes under the rules of the game, horrific it was. No player expects to be studded while picking the ball up to take a throw in after the ball has gone out. If you are trying to find some comparison in that horrific challenge to ones of the Italian players who look like they have been shot in the head at close range from Taliban snipers, then dude, your better off not commenting on Football at all because even trying to compare the 2 is ludicrous not to mention hilarious Having said that, you need to differentiate between milking and diving, 2 very different things

[olympiakos]

hahahah they EYE TALIANS trying to find anything to make their team look less ridiculous, seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya later italy!
