Edit: I can complete my sentences, yes.
Let's go Argentina!
They only won because Zidane is the man.
yeah what a guy
single-handedly fucking his team over
Italian training camp anyone?
Edit: I petition to change the thread title to include the word Fifa, so that some losers don't think it's talking about Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics.
I am not good with soccer whats its.
Does Australia have enough points to automatically qualify?
Are they only play that one listed here or are there others?
Satans..... hints.....
also world cup champions
you forgot that one
Satans..... hints.....
I don't think the Italians are particularly worse than most teams out there.
Maradona punched a ball into the goal with his hand, for God's sake, yet there's people on this page cheering Argentina without comment.
And anything that went the Italians way this world cup is mitigated by that bloody horrible knock-out game they had in 2002 against Korea, where that Ecuadorian ref and his linesmen made some absolutely dodgy calls against the Italians in the dying minutes when they looked like scoring. From memory, that ref was later suspended from reffing in all competitions some time later - for corruption.
Man chill the Italian hate is mostly a large scale soccer meme. Also,
clever pun? Or do you not know that is called the Hand of God.
While they were a better team last World Cup they won more than one game due to bad ref calls.
Satans..... hints.....
Heh. I hadn't noticed I'd done that.
Two against Japan, including the one up top, and one more each against Uzbekistan, Bahrain, and Qatar.
Satans..... hints.....
It's just the Italian way of life.
Right now I only plan on updating U.S TV listings, unless someone requests other regions.
edit: And the live streams will only be for interesting(to me) matches. I'll also take requests for other matches.
So glad Spain won the Euro
they have c. ronaldo
why did i put spain
Why do people hate him? Because he's phenomenal? There is no denying his immense skill. He might be a douche, who knows, not you, you haven't hung out with him. So what do you have to base this judgment on? The fact that he is one of the best players in the world?
didnt he punch some dude in the balls during the 06 Cup
no he is a Cunt with a capitol c
but one thing he is not is Spanish.
You just described almost every single soccer player in the world. ((edit: oh, and every Italian.)) Maybe he does it more than others. But we all do it. I do it all the time.
Why do I like soccer fans though? Because you guys will give him shit for this. I hate Sydney Crosby, so I am maybe being a hypocrite here, because he is such a whiner, but all my Canadian brethren love him because they think he's such a good hockey player.
I don't know though, almost every single soccer player takes dives and has his share of bitching. Hating a player just for that might be pushing it.
Transvestites
Crashing cars into walls.
I hate the Italians too.
And also I think people give Ronaldo extra shit because he's so good that he dosen't need to do any of that shit. He'll take dives in the box in attempt to draw penalties rather than actually try to make a spectacular play.
and without materazzi and totti i have no qualms about rooting for italy
