    Possible, but not probable.

    My da backed Croatia at the start and I slagged him about it. I will never hear the end of it if they do it & I probably wont even get a pint out of it!

    The Spanish defence will get exposed for what it it is, much like the Portuguese one was last night, and will make Toni look like an excellent player. Italy to beat them 3-1.

    If I am wrong, you can quote me on this post, and bellow in my face.

    I sincerely doubt that! I think, Spain will beat Italy as the loss of Gatusso and Pirlo is simply too much, Spain just have to find a way to break down the Italian defence! I do however think that Holland will be able to expose the Spaniards frailties!

    Fair play Shamrock.

    Although I will be rooting against you in the Semis as I have Germany in another Sweepstakes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    Thanks, Charlie. It'll be a big ask in the Semis but stranger things have happened.

    Will Italy continue the pattern tomorrow?

    Weird. All the group runners-up in the semis so far.

    Villa may not be a starter for Spain Tusky, wouldnt waste your money on that one

    How wrong you were :p

    I actually backed Villa & Spain, it probably won't win, but it's made the tournament very interesting!

    The two teams I wanted to do well in the competiton facing each other in the semis. Spain have to be favourites but I think Russia wioll cause them some problems. possibility that Torres will be dropped which is pretty ridiculous tbh. That guy Guiza who replaced him against Italy was rubbish even if he was top scorer in the league.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭rednik


    Good luck to all four in the semis.

    All except Keanos a Legend, Shamrock and ibh. ;) Spain should win it. Beating Italy was huge. I think they qualified for the last 7 or 8 major tournaments without getting past the QF's. The pressure on them because of that was huge. Then there was the 22nd June jinx where they had been knocked out on penos the last 3 times they've played on that date. If they don't win this tournament I doubt it'll be because they bottled it. They can't feel much/any more pressure than they did on Sunday. If they beat Russia again they'll get a lot more space against Germany than they did against Italy and I can't see Germany surviving that one. Senna put in some performance against Italy.

    TBH Mr Alan I'm even rooting for Spain, even though Russia could earn me a few quid.
    I went to the Spain game on Sunday, costing me a clean fortune. Apparently it was a sh!t game when watching on TV but actually being there it felt like a cracking game. Have to say though, I fear for Spains chances with that tool Arragones in charge. He's got a grudge against El Nino and he's got to fit Fabregas into the team.

    Would ya give me 2/1 on Russia and the draw. Just for call credit maybe??. 20credit for me if russia hold on for the 90 or 10 for you if Spain win it in 90. What ye say fella?
