Dont see why theres massive rejoice that Italy got knocked out, there a great football nation with some class players who just had a typically slow start.

It was going to be harsh for who ever went out 2nite because sweden and denmark have both been excellent so far as well.

As it is its even more sad for Italy, 1 win 2 draws and they go home while in another group Greece been nothing and had 1 good half all tournament but have squeezed through on 4 points!

Hah I started laughing when one of those commentators said "Looks like the azzuri are going home"

Denmark looked really strong though, they were owning the swedes pretty hard, in the first half especially.

Looking forward to Germany Czeck. tommorow.

Italy didn't deserve to win! ..they had to come out with rumours before the game between Denmark - Sweden. I feel sorry for them!
They are a good team, but they are so damn stupid. They're making a fool out of them selves!

Denmark - Sweden. Seems like we're brothers afterall. hehe
Love u Danish people! *Blod är tjockare än vatten* could feel that yesterday and the thought of it makes me shed a tear

*The powerness of the nordic people, born Vikings*

WHAAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Italy soooooooooooo deserves to go home! Just take Totti's foul and his spitting, thats already one reason for Italy to go home! They always play their disgusting "catta nacco" (please someone tell me how to write this cause I don't know) C'mon, you rather see some attracktive foottie in the quarters than that a boring penalty victory for Italy who have been defending the whole game!
Moreover, this shit, these agreements between teams, happens in Italy all the time, so they're used to it!

Well tournament's are one-off so the weaker teams are fired up and play better. For example, look at the F.A. cup. Almost every year you get a 2nd division team going far and upseting a few premier league clubs when it would have made more sense for them to crash out in the first game. If you were to put this Euro batch in a 1 year long league I would expect the stronger teams to finish tops.

I think its a combination of nerves by the big boys, time to get settled in, and a "nothing to lose" attitude by the upshots. That's just my take anyways. Whatever, makes for dramatic football.
