Italy wasn't the best team

[brandon]

I'd call England's defensive football. They started off playing 4-4-2 against Uruguay and then switched to 9-1-0 or maybe even 10-0-0 after they scored.

It's Paraguay not Uraguay. :rolleyes: Also Italy dives, Portugal dives, no point trying to cover it up.

Dude, every team dives. It's just a matter of more or less. Honestly, I haven't seen another team dive as much as England. And you should've seen the dive that sent Materazzi off. That was a complete dive and he rolled so many times into the penalty area hoping that the referee will award a penalty.

England dive at times but not half as much as Italy and Portugal.

England dives 95% when they're tackled. Italy doesn't dive a lot. They don't need to.

That is just nonsense. Why can't you accept that Italy are defensive, but affective? France had most of the play in the second half as Italy sat back and played for pens.

And I don't know why you're bringing England into the discussion as they were no where near the final.

Making a point that they dive. Why would Italy want to play shoot out? Their shoot out record is the worst.

Open your eyes you prat. Italy played for pens. I'm a fan on Italian football and I feel Seria A is the best league in the world. Must be that I know what i'm talking about and you can't see passed Italy as you're too biased.

Dude, I'm a dieheart Italy fan. And I watch Serie A as well. Why would they play for shoot out when Zidane got sent off? It was a 11 on 10 game. I doubt they wanted to play shoot out

[Azul]

When Zidane got sent off they had 10 minutes (maybe less I forget) to capitalise. They didn't. I'm saying before that France had almost complete control of the game, here is where I make my point that they played for pens.

Point taken. It was approximately 5 minutes
