Wasn't Arena said to be pretty crap before the World Cup?

theasfl · 06-17-2006, 04:51 PM

1-1 tie...Im forced to accept it with the bull**** circumstances around it.

Sdpm100 · 06-17-2006, 04:51 PM

Well played the nine Americans. You deserved that.

Bobbuttons · 06-17-2006, 04:51 PM

Ugh. It's finally over.

Now we need some help.

Italy must beat the Czechs, and we have to beat Ghana.

That would give Italy 7, USA 4, Ghana and Czechs 3.

Spielman · 06-17-2006, 04:53 PM

I'd really like to know what Arena's reasoning was for not using his subs.

For sure. But with that ref I was surprised that late challenge just outside the box that he didn't give a penalty.

No idea if it's been answered but someone asked why Italy wear blue the answer is = Italy wear blue as it's the colour of the House of Savoia, who ruled from 1861 to 1946.

I missed it, but I didn't know it anyway. Good factoid.

we can still advance if the we and the Czechs win, but we'd need to win by at least 3 with them losing by 2 to tie on GD.

I had to venture on the Liverpool FC message board for that, it's something I do not want to do again

theasfl · 06-17-2006, 04:56 PM

at least we aren't going out without a point

this referee was suspended from the last World Cup because of ****taciousness....

mikev · 06-17-2006, 04:58 PM

Unbelieveable.

How does a ref get suspended and then allowed to ref again?

Sdpm100 · 06-17-2006, 04:58 PM

I think you know my feelings for the USA, and definitely those about the ref, and I doubt any of you want to hear me talk about the Italians, but two things I must say.
1) - De Rossi should be suspended for the rest of the tournament. You assault another player, you don't come back again. Blatter was there, so he has NO excuse.
2) - If Italy play like that again they won't go very far. They lacked any cutting edge up front.

I knew, but didnt want aid the person the that asked...due to his inability to find infomation out on his own.

I couldnt of told you who the ruling family was, but yeah...good enough.

Quite easily. If he's one of Blatter's chums he'll get game after game. Simple as that.

well they did take Totti and Toni out in the first half because of the card, so Ill give them the benefit of the doubt.
