maqroll Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 After watching Italy dismantle Germany, my money is on them to win this one, 1-0.
ryanvilla_1994 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Like both teams so don't mind who wins. Would be a great story if Italy do it though.
coda Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I'd rather Spain won but it looks like Italy are on a roll.
LondonLax Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 You know it is going to be a shit game. Cagey, boring and with few chances. The only hope is that Italy can score an early goal and force Spain to attack.
Zatman Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 victory for Italy will be better for the game though think Italy should have a match fixing crisis around every tournament
Chindie Posted June 28, 2012 VT Supporter Posted June 28, 2012 Italy hopefully. I don't think I could stand further Spanish success on the back of that style.

The only hope is that Italy can score an early goal and force Spain to attack. Yep, I'm pretty certain it'll be a depressingly negative affair. But Italy surprised me today, because after they got the first goal, they didn't all retreat back and defend, they kept attacking. It's actually an enjoyable Italian side to watch. UEFA and FIFA et al should entice teams to play attacking football with bonuses for X number of goals scored in tournaments...
Kiwivillan Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 UEFA and FIFA et al should entice teams to play attacking football with bonuses for X number of goals scored in tournaments... Yet instead Russia goes home with the best goal difference in their group. Hmm
Eames Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Italy to win purely because Spain bore the arse off me. The Italians are that delightful mix of talent, skill and lunacy. Super Mario to score the winner.
Stevo985 Posted June 29, 2012 VT Supporter Posted June 29, 2012 I think Italy might do it. But looking forward to it. I thought he game between these two in the group stages was one of the best games of the tournament so hopefully his will be a repeat.
BOF Posted June 29, 2012 Moderator Posted June 29, 2012 15-7 as it stands. Didn't see that coming either. Though you Villa fans are notoriously fickle
Stevo985 Posted June 29, 2012 VT Supporter Posted June 29, 2012 I feel we may be voting with our hearts and not our heads
Morpheus Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Hopefully either side will score early to open up the game. If not i could find myself switching back and forth through the channels again.
HolteEndRob Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 What a difference two years can make. In 2010, Italy done the impossible and had an even worse World Cup than England! Fast forward two years and they are in the final of the Euro's. I'm not bothered who wins the final but I think I'd rather see Italy win. Spain haven't been at their best but you could argue that they haven't really needed to be! Playing with no strikers is something that I've found annoying too! It should be a good game. Cagey, but good.
