How about the pressure on Totti for that kick. I kept on having thoughts of Baggio

wpgfishfan said:Italy will not win with Lippi making these dumb decisons all the time
1. Materazzi is the dirtiest player in Italy. He always does stupid fouls and gives up lots of penalties. Even though I disagree with today's red he is someone that has trouble controlling his emotion
2. Why not start Totti. Yes he has never shined on the international stage but in Serie A he is sonsistently a top performer
3. Why take out Toni. Yes he has not scored but he creates or gets scoring chance after scoring chance

FORZA ITALIA
Tone_E said:I fully agree with you wpg. Also, Lippi made a mistake in his formation setting. Although the long ball created some good scoring chances, they also caused a loss of possession all too often. A mistake, especially considering the fast countering style of Australia. I think we played our best with one striker while utilizing our midfield and wings to ultimately control possesion.
Eg, the Czech game.
P.S. Please leave Gilardino in there, or replace him with Inzaghi.
wpgfishfan said:Was that the save of the tournament so far.
The one where Toni hit it and the keeper is going to his right the ball is going to his left and it hits his toes and stays out
Prime Time said:Ricky Williams is that you? :eek:
Don't slide? Don't make contact? Have you EVER played Soccer in your life? So in other words, you are saying, Mr. Defender, let him run around you, take a shot and hope that it goes wide. He slid tackled, and the Italian dove. Plain and simple. EVeryone in the World (besides Italy of course) is saying that wasn't a PK. BTW, Ricky can I have an autograph?
