RiG Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 What a quality goal by Ibrahesmabitch. Knew Buffon was coming out and casually flicked the ball over him at the perfect height to also decieve Vieri on the goalline to. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sons1872 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 This has been the best game of the tournament so far . Italy should have won it if Vieri took his chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Italy are stupid. Cannavaro/Nesta/Buffon are capable of keeping out an opposition side on their own. Put one defensive midfielder in there, and play as many attacking players as possible, and Italy would run riot. Italy dropped two points last night, as they invited Sweden onto them with defensive substitutions and general tactical dumbwittedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Agreed. Zambrotta especially has been absoultely fantastic B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Italy's problem is that they lack any real creativity in midfield. By playing people like Zanneti and Gattuso with a lone striker with Totti/Del Piero/Cassano behind them, they certainly don't seem to eager to get forward. They have no Zidane/Valeron/Vicente/Figo, put simply they have very little inventiveness (sp.?) in the middle of the park. Kev, agree with you about Ibrahesmabitch, think one of the commentators mentioned an interview where he was asked if the tournament would improve him as a player or something and he replied, 'No, it won't, I am already brilliant.'
