Italy v Sweden

It’s funny but won’t be the same without them at the finals.5

Italy were absolutely awful. When I saw them play a 4-2-4 against Spain and get demolished I figured "well it's Spain and Spain were brilliant on the night." But Ventura will probably go down as Italy's McClaren.
Gutted for Gigi Buffon.2 -
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.1

First international match I have watched all the way through for about 2 years. Really enjoyed it apart from the result. Such a contrast to the turgid shit England play.0

Those goals the Italians banged in over both legs made it such an exciting tie.Red_in_SE8 said:First international match I have watched all the way through for about 2 years. Really enjoyed it apart from the result. Such a contrast to the turgid shit England play.

Really? Because I thought Italy were England-esque in their lack of quality going forward.Red_in_SE8 said:First international match I have watched all the way through for about 2 years. Really enjoyed it apart from the result. Such a contrast to the turgid shit England play.

Fair play Sweden
Feel for Buffon though. One of the all time greats3 - Sponsored links:

I’ve always used to wonder why England didn’t qualify for the World Cup in 1974 and 1978, tonight I’m guessing that was like England in the 70’s, no goalscorer up top.0

Great result.0

If you don’t score a goal in 180 mins of football you ain’t gonna win and that’s what happened.2

But they played with a lot of pace from the back. Yes, they lacked that top top quality centre forward.SDAddick said:

Does this mean we'll get to see Ibrahimovic in WC action again?0

The turgid shit that got us into another World Cup finals. Without losing a game. Again. Ayeah we may not win it and we may get beaten by Iceland again but we are in the Finals.Red_in_SE8 said:First international match I have watched all the way through for about 2 years.

Pardon me.....yes, they are obviously one of the most entertaining football teams to play the game over the last two years. If they had been in the same group as Spain they would have still gone through with ease.1StevieG said:

A dark day for Italian football, I imagine there will be some soul searching as to what went wrong
Yes they underperformed, but it's not as if Italy has a vast number of exciting players coming through0 -
Shocking result for Italy. Sweden are such a mediocre team but they are a TEAM at least!0

How would you know if we were a turgid or entertaining team if you haven’t watched an international game for 2 years?Red_in_SE8 said:
