Hi dutchie and thanks

Well Spain are through, feel for Portugal though as I think they played well today.
All in the game..

Just sharing a little trivia -- Germany have never won a competitive game against Italy.
-- and I hope it stays that way lol

Should be a good game tomorrow too.

Solid defenses carry the day again. Still disappointed about a scoreless draw.
Portugal did better than I thought they would and even had a few chances to win it.
I would hate the pressure of those penalty shoot outs!

Good luck tomorrow Tink. I hope we see a few goals!

History does tend to repeat.
 
Yes, I thought Portugal were going to win at one stage too, was disappointed for them at the end.
I actually thought they played better than Spain, just my opinion.
I agree, wouldnt like the pressure of those penalty shoot outs either.

Thanks, no matter who wins, am looking forward to it.
I do enjoy these events.
 
Thanks dutchie :)

Italy dominated that first quarter but Germany came back abit hungrier the second, not enough to win the game.
Italy 2 - Germany 0
Yep, you got your goals, no penalty shoot outs this time, was a good game.

Fancy the German coach saying they can beat anyone, not Italy they cant.
The hoodoo has stuck : )

Italy vs Spain -- the Final : )

I know your one eyed Tink but wasn't it 2 - 1 LOL

The hoodoo continues (history does repeat)
 
OK I will take a punt and say, I think Italy can go the whole way.
Last Spain and Italy met, was the start of the tournament, it was a draw.
Italy has come a long way since the start, our downfall is kicking those goals and if we can get a few, we are in.

As said, I thought Portugal played better than Spain.
Just my opinion.

Quite a few would have lost money on the last game - soccer is never a sure thing with 2 big teams.
 
Congratulations to Spain.

God, what else could go wrong, down to 10 men at half time.
They did to us what we did to Germany, 2 goals in the first half.

Oh well, we did better than I thought we would have at the start of the tournament, and made the Final, we do have Spain to thank for beating Croatia and letting us qualify.
 
Commiserations Tink

Spain have shown their class in this tournament to follow their World Cup victory.

Italy did well to get to final and came up against a world class team.

Glad to see some good goals in the final.
 
Thanks dutchie -- yeah I wont take that away from them, they played an excellent game.

Good on them.
 
Apparently it's not even Ibrahimovic's favourite. I've seen planty of better goals than that. Not the best ever by a long chalk.

I agree Logique. It was really just a good scissors kick that went the right direction towards the open goal. If the goalie or a defender had been better placed, it would have been easily saved and nothing more would have been thought of it. IMO, to qualify as best goal ever, it should be a superb difficult shot that beat an excellent defence. The defence here was mediocre.

Photoshopped right?

jeez kennas, i thought u were an oval ball MAN....
if u r so bored how about watching a groper down from your pad grow or frying one up for the homeless out here or such. they r about as sexually integral as scooter players nowadays.

congrads on yr mo man example. shame it gets little traction, only see adds on wifebashing etc, not underfunded and under recognised basic mens health.

good on you, i'll follow yr blog. i might send one of the dodgy homeless doods up the road with a nice green 100buk note for the cause, tho u live near a bottle shop so u'll know whats gone wrong if it doesnt turn up.....

i thought the thread was 'scooter is unaustralian'. oh well.
 
Good on Ange Postecoglue for sticking to an attacking plan for the 2017 World Cup qualification round Socceroos.

I remember the Eddie Thomson days, when it was put up the shutters and defend, just defend only, because we weren't good enough, apparently.. let's never return to that mindset.

We must play our own buccaneering Aussie football, let the chips fall where they may.

And re-appoint Postecoglue, whatever the short term results.
