  1. Good timing.

     

    Well there you go. My team, Italy, just lost another (fairly) exciting game. frown.gif

     

    As for your comments, Ocean..... No, you are the one who is wrong.

     

    But seeing as:

     

    - I don't give much of a crap about England anyway and can't believe I have been drawn into a discussion defending them!

     

    - From reading past mails on this Bulletin Boarrd, you do not seem to be able to accept anyone elses opinion on anything, and always without exception come back with pithy comments (how very English!)

     

    - this is boring

     

    ....then I think we should just agree to disagree on this, coz we're getting nowhere. And, of course, it doesn't matter.

     

    As a way of signing off on this - and before I console myself with a bottle of vino after my boys lost - of course they wanted to score. But if that meant compromising the extremely important lead that they had, then defensive play was the best decision and it worked for them. Why take too many risks? It doesn't make much sense when all that is important is the points of the win.

     

    Anyway, maybe see you in another thread. Hugs and kisses.

     

    Bye!

  2. Of course they wanted to score. 2-0 or 3-0 better than a tight 1-0? For sure. But a 1-1 result on a rebound, well that's something they need to avoid at all costs.

     

    One more thing, they are not interested in playing in a style that people watching "admire".

     

    There are no points for style. The points go to the team who wins, and thats what they did. Sure they're shakin in their boots that Ocean11 didn't "admire" their style. lol.gif

     

    Anyway, I don't care about it too much. Just watch Italy today if you want to see some soccer you might "admire". wink.gif

     

    Thanks for the tongue.gif !

  3. Sourpuss.

     

    From your posts concerning soccer, it is obvious that your knowledge of the game is limited.

     

    I am not an England fan. (Italy is my team). I am a fan of the game and the game played well. And England indeed played an admirable game last night.

     

    The last 15 minutes was a constant Argentina attack, and England looked tired, but they also showed some great defending of their lead and - hey - England did not concede a goal. They defended, and did it very well. Owen came off to be replaced by Bridge in an attempt to DEFEND their lead, and WIN the game.

     

    And that is what they did.

     

    Add on to that all the baggage and the situation surrounding this game, they played an excellent game and deserved the win.

     

    Oh yeah, come on Italy!
