i can already say that it will be a boring, goalless game with penalties and Italy will win...

lol those were my thoughts LOL

But I think Italy will probably win it...

I hope it'll be a good match to watch. Hopefully italy will win :anxious:

by the way they played a friendly in Italy before the WC...in May or June i think

 

1-0 for Italy (goal on 93rd minute.......................) heh...

I think Italy will win. Ukraine should go home. Hell, I don't know why but I dislike this team.

I dislike both teams, but I guess Italy are going to win. 1-0 again. :dozey:

I'm pretty sure Italy's gonna win, which is not such a hard team to run against in the semis (provided we win in Friday). Still, I voted for Ukraine, I like them.

Italy is a historical team, but they're not playing that well. Besides Ukraine's doing a great job in their first world cup!

tough one.. but I'll go with the crowd favorite on this one, Italy.

Italy will go through although neither team seems to have any desire to win. Both their games yesterday were dull, dull, dull. :snore:

I've got to say Ukraine, they're my sweepstake at work :rolleyes:

Italy will lose... they have been less than impressive, and they could only beat Australia through final minute theatrics.

Yes Nik and we won 4-1 against Germany in a friendly ;)

 

This time I'm with my team 100% and sorry to disappoint you but if it's going to be boring it's just because we will win, our defenders know Shevchenko toooo well :P

 

But I don't mind the penalties...we've been sent out two times in the last three WC only with penalties...it's time to change things

 

Still I don't understand all this rudeness for us...yes of course we're the only boring and lucky team playing at the WC :dozey:

not the onliest, but lucky (very) and boring or not just a matter of "football taste" :P

 

i enjoyed Italy in their first match against Ghana but after they started to play their usual football which isn't really entertaining ;) though Italy are still one of the big favourites at this WC, but let's admit the don't play as good as they can

I'm the first one to admit it ;) they can play a lot better and I hope they can prove it against Ukraine...if we lose then it's right and we deserve to go out

right, Iriden!!!

i can already say that it will be a boring' date=' goalless game with penalties and Ukraine will win...[/quote']

 

lol ditto (damn late penalty that beat the aussies :()

Italy have not had a good record on penalties.....

I'm the first one to admit it ;) they can play a lot better and I hope they can prove it against Ukraine...if we lose then it's right and we deserve to go out

 

Ukraine have been playing badly though.............

if you lose lets hope Ukraine pick up their game otherwise you deserve to win.

and a penalty which was given with 10 seconds left in injury time. :dozey:

i can already say that it will be a boring, goalless game with penalties and Australia would have won it....

agreed. :dozey:

and they will defend and play a passionless game.

 

PLAY LIKE YOU FUCKING WANT TO WIN PEOPLE! what is it these days. :dozey:

Ok this thing it's pissing me off..first it was not a theatric (for theatrics see Van Bommel during Holland-Portugal and Henry yesterday evening please) and second ANY OTHER PLAYER would have done the same, that is, doing nothing not to fall.

You can go on and on about the penalty and I can go and on about the red card (which was absolutely not right)...I don't see any difference in having a penalty during the match or just the last 10 seconds...the match is over only when the referee blows his whistle, if you thought the match was already over I don't know what to do.

 

And this time I don't think it will be a passionless game...they will play for one of their former team-mates who risked his life yesterday. I really hope they will play better than ever for him :nice:

 

 

Again..if this is not going to happen then we deserve to go out, but it's pointless to be too sure about one thing based on prejudice ;)

Italy is a strong team.

Italy probably didn't play very well so far, but it's a team that wins or ties from last year.

Italy defeated Netherland and Germany last year.

Italy had taken only one goal (of Zaccardo, in Italy's goal, so i't not a real goal).

So, Italy will defeat Ukraine!

Italy will win. But a tough game.
