[Quarter Final] Spain - Italy

In my futility to hide my excitement for this game, I though I'd get a head start by opening this thread for discussion. In few words, may Spain tear Italy a new one. And this is for all those people who think that David Villa is new to the scene of scoring spectacular goals:

Easy win for Spain..... Now Spain can get into trouble if Sergio Ramos cant get back to defense as fast as he needs to.

EERRR, WRONG!
Italy will win this match!
They didn't show their real "face" at the group stage, don't you think? I think the final result will be 3:1 for Italy

Pirlo's suspension is a massive blow for italy.

I can see this being a very tight game. I think spain will have too much for italy in the end but I hope I'm wrong.

What a beauty

Italy all the way. Spain never performs well in big tournaments, and they've certainly had their share of good games this year.

Toni is playing like a world class striker atm but simply cannot score so i'm going for los espa�oles

3-2 (not scored by Toni then )

I just have a feeling that the Italians will win this one. I know they have suspensions and Spain are in great form, but after they clawed their way out of the group of death, Italy will not go down easily.

eh...i'd like to see spain win just because i like them, but honestly i dont think they deserve to. At least with the style / level of play in the group section of the tournement

Want Italy to win, but think Spain will actually manage to reach a semi-final this time, without Pirlo and Gattuso Italy are going to be lost in the midfield.

Posted by pierre_escargot on Jun-21-2008 21:23:

Well, all the unfancied sides have made it through, to I'm going to go for Italy 2-1 tomorrow

SPAIN TO SAVE THE TOURNAMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by malek on Jun-21-2008 22:56:

Hopefull the grandpas eeerrrr italians win...

Italy will win!!

Missing Pirlo isn't a huge as people think. YES he has great spot kick ability, but he doesn't add much more than a pedestrian presence at mid-field. He's no De Rossi... And plus Grosso has a great foot thats not too much of a drop off from Pirlo, so he can take duties there...

Gattuso is great going forward but he's inconsistent with his D. I if you can move in a guy like Camoranesi who is just as quick, but is much more scrappy and I don't think you've lost anything there..

Plus, the team is pumped. Italy is most dangerous after they get a taste of winning in any major tournament. Traditionally they start off slow, but once they get going, their momentum is hard to stop. Buffon has been great in goal and every game Luca gets 1/2 inch closer to actually getting those headers on goal. I think this will be the game where he finally finds the net.

italy to take this one

Posted by noikeee on Jun-22-2008 11:14:

Plan A.. supporting Portugal... dead.

Plan B.. supporting Croatia and Netherlands... dead.

Plan C.. supporting Italy... dead by tonight most likely.

I'm warming up to Russia, they've been playing nice football.

Posted by isoterra on Jun-22-2008 11:37:

i'll be cheering spain on but i expect them to follow holland out in a similar fashion. peaked too early

in which case i'll be fully supporting russia against italy

if it's an italy-germany final i probably won't even bother watching

Posted by noikeee on Jun-22-2008 11:40:

Nah, you're safe, I still think Spain are going to be champions. Italy without Pirlo and Gattuso will collapse, and then they'll break past the russians the same way as in the group game. Then Germany will be the chokers in the final for a change.

i like how ian worded it:
