Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

I wish I could side by you…this now with Frings out, Totti will have a very open field in front of him

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

If I can recall correctly, who was it that one in the World Cup warmup match in March? Oh thats righhhttt it was Italia!

Considering Germans are more of a attacking team, the Italians will play strong defense throughout the game and then capitalize upon German mistakes.

Expect Zambrotta and obviously Fabio Grosso, who will all know will receive another yellow card and be suspended from playing in the Final. I might not even be suprised to see whether Lippy brings Grosso in as a sub in the 65th minute.

What bothers me the most is why don't they play Inzaghi? The guy has proved to be very efficient in internationals and in this World Cup he's scored in his only game.

Anyways, I think Italy will start Alberto Gilardino, who will score from a Totti corner, sometime in the late 2nd half to win the game 1-0. If that does not occur, Andrea Pirlo will get a goal in the game.

VIVA LA ITALIA!

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

Let me remind you of a keeping error right from this worldcup. He let go one ball into the goal after fumbling it big time. It was against US; to his respite that goal was disallowed :smiley: I also remmeber his gross fumble against Real couple of seasons ago when he allowed Ronaldo to score after fumbling.

He is THE best but he is human too :smiley:

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

both teams dont look like scoring. 10 minutes of normal time then extra time. I anticipate penalties.

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

Good football by both teams. Italy had a clear edge over Germans in the first half.

Re: Semi Final 1: Germany v Italy

Lehmann made the save of the day sofar

Now extra time

Looks like both sides r going for the Penalty shoot-out as i don't see any side getting the breakthrough in Extra-Time

BTW: Italy now with 2 Forwards ..... looks like Lippi is going for the Kill
