great tackle

Spain and Italy really know how to control/close a game.

Love the actual Mario and Luigi in the stands there.

They started almost as fast and attacking as Germany, then pumped it up a bit and now they're basically playing possession when they get the ball and bring-it when they don't. Spain vs Italy, I kind of have to root for Italy at this point.

neuer winning headers at the half way line!

Neuer diving header in the centre circle!
― Matt DC, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
Neuter so great atm
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
another one, he should be playing CB
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
wasn't it Neuer who was lobbed by Dejan Stankovic after a header nearly at midfield a season ago?
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
Aw why blow now?
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
Fuck me that was exciting.

Ha yes, it was Neuer

Great game.

Oh Italy, how I love thee
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
not the result i wanted but v v cool game. Italy terrific. Germany should have stuck to their system instead of changing it.

2 best defences in the Final.
Commiserations pandemic

Balotelli standing next to Giovinco is pretty amusing.
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
How tall is Balotelli?!
Great game for sure. Man the final is going to be strange.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
6'2 vs 5'4
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
Ned, all the more so since we've just seen them play a somehwat dull draw in the group stages
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
khedira was good and schweinsteiger in the 2nd half but the rest didn't bring it. Boateng was the out ball but produced one decent cross at most. Ozil was good until Italy scored.
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
Nonsense xp, the group game was the second best game at the tourney
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
Hummels too aggressive on the first goal.
The group game was good yes.
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
group game was a cracker

Germany won't win the next World Cup either, that belongs to Argentina.

oh dear Keown wheeling out the "German arrogance" cliche
― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Keown! Nearly every word is wrong.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Keown "German arrogance" Fuck Off.
A hoy tipped Italy at the start of the tourney I think. I wrote off Italy when they were wretched against Russia pre-tourney.

Keown is actually the worst of the BBC lot just in terms of ignorance
― Number None, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
wasn't the keown-dixon pairing A Breath of Fresh Air when it first arrived? Has the BBC just sucked everything interesting out of them?
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
nah, Keown was just coasting off Dixon and the fact that he sounds a bit posh
