ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Roma finished 5th. Because of the scandals, the top 2 teams lose their spot so Roma moves up. Roma is considered the "good guy" team in Italy. Sort of the alternative for followers who want to follow a big club but don't want to be any part in cheating or match fixing. They won 3 titles. Juventus has 29 (two might be stripped away) Milan has 14, Inter has 13. And so on. It's all BS though. It happens everywhere. Yes it is last years record. Inter - Milan is Internazionale Milan. And AC Milan is Assosciazione Calcio Milan. 718194[/snapback] Cool....Roma is offically my team then I'm pretty sure that Fox soccer channel carries the serie A games, too.

Or else, you need RAI. Not sure how to get it. I'll find out if there are any American satellites that carry it.

meazza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I'm going to miss the game but goooooo Germany!! 718299[/snapback] in boca lupo
nick in* england Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 hey meazza - credit to italy.... HELL of a finish
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 hey meazza - credit to italy.... HELL of a finish 718324[/snapback] Holy sh--. Wow. I mean, I hate the !@#$ing Eye-talians (bunch of pansy-ass divers)...but holy sh--.
Peter Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Great match. End to end at the end of OT. Congrats Meazza.
ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Wow....what a friggin game....as much as I've enjoyed this WC, thats' the first match where I did not leave my seat. What a beautiful goal by Italy to avoid the penalty kicks.....great job by them. Hell, their second goal was a thing of beauty, too, but the game winner was absolutely perfect. I give Germany a lot of credit, though, cause they were running to the ball all damn match. They played for the win in regulation, playing an aggressive, attacking game, which pretty much meant that if they didn't get the job done in the first 90 then they'd be in trouble in OT. The Germans have nothing to be ashamed of; they had a great tourney. Congrats to Italy.....I think you have to say they are the favorites to take home the cup now.
ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 I fell asleep and missed the whole thing... 718340[/snapback] Geesh, I hope Meazza didn't do the same thing....lol Don't worry, tomorrow's match should be as good or better
UConn James Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 in boca lupo 718300[/snapback] Is that Italian for "Sure, I'll provide a full-size link for the chick in my avatar"?
meazza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Is that Italian for "Sure, I'll provide a full-size link for the chick in my avatar"? 718346[/snapback] It means good luck.
meazza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Holy sh--. Wow. I mean, I hate the !@#$ing Eye-talians (bunch of pansy-ass divers)...but holy sh--. 718325[/snapback] What a genius this coach. What a mother!@#$ing genius.
meazza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Great match. End to end at the end of OT. Congrats Meazza. 718328[/snapback] One left my friend. One left.

Take out two midfielders and put on two attackers in extra time. And the Germans have been defeated. Cannavaro, best defender in the world. Buffon, incredible.

There's no way in hell Italy wanted to go to PKs....only made sense to try to prevent that from happening, and they did just that.
LewPort71 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Congrats meazza..... I heard you yell all the way here in WV when that first goal was scored... That was a brilliant shot and no goalie in the world would have saved it. I hope France smashes Portugal...I am listening to XM radio now and they are blasting the tactics used by Portugal...... And today I was glad to see good refereeing....
ajzepp Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 And today I was glad to see good refereeing.... 718374[/snapback] wow, ain't that the truth! The referees took themselves out of the equation today, and they should be applauded for that. The game was VERY physical, but the refs called it very fairly. There was no controversy to this match whatsoever.....it was a battle of two great teams, and the match was decided in a dramatic fashion by one of the best goals of the tourney. Tomorrow can't get here fast enough....France is playing very well the past two games, and Portugal is poised to give them a run. I think both teams will be at just about full strength, so I expect a great match.
