The Official UEFA Euro 2012 Thread

tbf if balotelli defeats spain it really will be a jesse owen moment.

but not just for black brehs. the spain are the master race in football right now. even mediocre players like mata are seen as gold dust outside the borders simply due to that spanish dna.

balotelli winning it would crush all that and be a win for big and physically capable people and players who are always the first scapegoats when it all goes its up. "my son was cut from the academy cos he is 5'6. its them big kids wot done it..."

lets get em

Very true. Its a battle of football styles on display and the world is getting fed up with the boring tiki taka nonsense. As if the contrast between the two semifinals wasn't enough an Italy win will put the nail in the Spain dikkriding coffin. First Barca, now the national team. Time to put them out to the pastures.




Also I dont know how people are acting like Balotelli's race/ethnicity is insignificant. Racism has followed him around throughout his career in Italy it would definitely be a watershed moment if he was one of the keys behind a Euro trophy. Brehs on that race doesn't matter and its just sports tip stop it its disgusting

Pirlo reminds me of Zidane in 2006. Quietly styling on whole teams just to prove he ain't

wait o/u on balos goals at 15 ? tha fucc ? platini holds the record with 9 goals...next best result is 7 goals....mario will be lucky to score 2 tbh with how italy looks

When hasn't Italy looked before a tournament. Its actually a pretty young squad outside of Pirlo and Buffon. I wouldn't be surprised if they turn it on ,beat Spain, and even win that group.

I give Mario praise imagine growing up in a country different from everyone hated by everyone just because of te color of your skin?

Yet to be thick skinned never hating on Cacs, Mario the gawd

He's been incredible. I've been watching his every touch like If Italy wins it all he's Ballon D'Or candidate.

Juve + Italy wins more impressive than Messi tbh.

The final has got me rooting for one of the teams I've hated most.

But I don't even care if Italy have turned their style around for good

First time I've ever rooted for Italy too I used to hate them with a passion but this new team feels different. I've noticed a lot of people expressing the same. Spain's the new Italy IMO, boring and filled with whiners.

Hope italy win simply because it will win me the coli pool/sweepstake and the 80 bux that comes with it

Plus i like a lot of the italian players and have for a long time. All this supporting them on here because balotelli is black has done it's best to make me root against them but my like of those players out weighs it.

Plus my dislike of spain/barca and all that shyte has been known for ages so my support in this one is clear.

 

[Gilver]

On and i want them to win with an epic defensive performance, last ditch tackles, goal line clearances, all that.

There's something special about an epic italian defensive performance.

The English supporters are so bitter it's pitiful, let it be known why though...

Barcelona humiliating your favorite English team and dominating Europe, Spanish coach implementing the "tiki taka" style with lesser quality individuals and still dominating.

You're a black, american man who supports Barcelona and Spain.

If it matters I was rooting for France in the competition.
I have no ties with Spain but watching them pass their way through the competition while the English cry "That isn't football, they must be stop"
