still cant forget the night they lost the euro finals.that was their best chance to bag some silver ware but greece proved they are no push overs.

well lets see what the future has in hands for them.

Spain are massively overrated. They haven't developed well, I still think there system is a Joke. So many Good players yet they struggle when it comes to big events.

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 26-05-2007, 08:02 AM

This will be a great match.Very close game I predict.

**jec1** · 26-05-2007, 08:03 AM

I would say a 4-0 win by Italy. Spain has long ways to Go.

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 26-05-2007, 08:05 AM

No way that will happen.Spain maybe do not impress but they have a quality team who never would allow a team to make shit of them.

**jec1** · 26-05-2007, 08:07 AM

Against the WC champs, Italy is a stud team, they have Good players at every position.

We'll see what happens but Spain is overrated.

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 26-05-2007, 08:11 AM

That's true.But they have several class players but Aragones don't get the best of them when they play for Spain.

**jec1** · 26-05-2007, 08:13 AM

Well then, Shouldn't Aragones be fired then????

Gus Hiddink would be a Good coach for that team.

**sinoy1** · 26-05-2007, 04:04 PM

nah...they need an attacking minded coach....someone like Sevilla's coach...Although I can see why Aragones is stumped though...So many good midfielders...The defence is set i believe with Ramos Puyol Pablo and Del horno as the back line....The midfield i would play Silva instead of Jaoquin , If Vicente decides to get healthy that is...if not Silva on the left and Jaoquin on the right with Fabregas and Xavi in the middle....The only problem is that they need a bruiser like Albelda so maybe droping to a 3 back with 2 Dm's and Cesc to play behind Villa and Torres? Very very tough formation with such a star studded team.

That's the problem, Too many expectations for a young team with so much talent. I still think fabregas os there best player -- Torres is overrated.

**sinoy1** · 29-05-2007, 12:01 PM

Torres yes! Fab no! he's the heart of Arsenal...Henry is the sniper but the service Henry gets from fabregas is insane....makes me wonder if Torres would thrive off him as well :P

Game starts in a few hours, my first football match in awhile. I can't wait.

According to today's Gazzetta,our line up;

Buffon
Panucci Cannavaro Barzagli Zambrotta
De Rossi
Camoneresi Gattuso Pirlo Di Natale
Toni

Theirs;

Casillas
Ramos Puyol Marchena Capdewilla
Senna
iniesta Xavi Fabregas Silva
Torres

**sinoy1** · 26-03-2008, 06:56 PM

Cant wait either.I hope Oddo plays.He can keep up with Silva.After all he went stride for stride with Clichy and Mancini he's definately got the pace to keep up with the young valencia winger.

**jec1** · 26-03-2008, 06:57 PM

Great match-up -- could be a potential euro-finals match.... Italy will win 2-0

Btw, How will you contain 'El nino'

**Jager** · 26-03-2008, 06:58 PM

Torres will do nothing today. Trust me.

Some people think we'll drop this one today, but I don't see it happening. I'm predicting 2-0 win for us.

Toni is back with his Italian family, and I"m sure he'll have a game.
