You're probably right... sadly. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy the 'beautiful game' in the spirit in which it should be played!
It's not good for the sport... There's a belief that playing defensive boring football wins competitions and if England win it'll strengthen that belief and we'll get more of that crap. Italy win is better for football
I'd rather lose than win playing defensive boring football. It's my long term interests im thinking about that's all. Come on Italy
Why? I Iike watching all matches, so I don't want this idea that boring defensive football being the way to win trophies that's creeping in to become any more prevalent. England winning a trophy might seem great but I'm more interested in the long term impact on my entertainment. Interestingly enough most Newcastle fans have been after Bruce for playing boring football and it's something that's becoming more and more common.
There’s no thread for Belgium v Italy, and this seems to be a thread for general ****chat - Italy …. SO FAST!
