2010 World Cup talk

  Lets just agree to disagree. My definition of a whiner must be different from yours.
  
  Dual citizenship? But you stuck with Steubenville?

Who in their right mind would be jealous of two world cup wins before any of us on here were even alive? I am in the boat that thinks Italian soccer just isn't as exciting as most of the soccer played elsewhere. That is not to say I don't respect many of the Italian greats, eg. Totti, Maldini, Del Piero, etc. because they have had some great and exciting players, I just feel their style of play isn't the greatest.

  
  Yada, yada, yada........fans from other countries are jealous of Italy's success, end of story!
  
  I just love how people dismiss those Cups from the thirties, we might as well dismiss Brazil's triumph's in 58, 62 and 70 because the majority of people on here weren't born yet.:rolleyes:
  
  BTW, no country has played more World Cup matches than Italy.

  Yep, your definition of that word is a little broad to say the least.
  
  Why the Steubenville jab? Unlike others, I'm proud of where I come from.

  What's delusional Auto is the way YOU think. You seem to be "Mr. Europe", please tell me, what other countries' fans in Europe think about the Italians? It's pure jealousy, 4 titles will do that.

  Yeah so am I, but that doesn't mean I'd like to stay here. Pride is one thing....me not wanting to live in this depressing area is another. I'd kill to have EU papers!!!
  
  Go on other forums, just read up. Not everyone slurps everything Italia like you....just deal with it.

  Aren't you the same guy who talks shit to the Browns fans about their championships before the modern era? Seems a little hypocritical to me.

  First off, I don't post on Browns topics. Second, their titles are what they are, I never be-littled them, they're just not Super Bowls. Last, this is soccer and I can't see how you can possibly compare football era's to soccer era's, it's impossible.

  It's quite simple, if you don't like the Ohio Valley then leave. BTW, I could care less if others don't "slurp" (what ever that means) everything Italian. It's where my family comes from and what I know, other people can kiss my ass if they don't like it.
  
  BTW, if you have relatives in Europe (not distant) it's easier than you think to gain dual citizenship.

  rock, you suck plain and simple. You are a homer who can't take his blinders off for intelligent convo. Italy dives just as much as any other team east of us. It's engrained in their play and willl always be like that, gattuso is just as guilty as torress or rooney or any other player. Notre dame sucks, and hasn't won a title since before you got the old balls so there is no discussion there. Get off this thread so we can have INTELLIGENT, UNBIASED convos concerning soccer...
  
  As far as the world cup, spain in my eye is the front runner with argentina being a sleeper. Plus, the sight of seeing maradona streaking through downtown Argentina coked out of his mind will be legendary.

  Maybe this will stop the bickering of the thread if not for just a few minutes!

  In a few tuneups:
  
  Spain over South Korea, 1-0
  Mexico over Italy, 2-1
• Mulva

  

  I think South Africa is going to get at least a draw against Mexico.

  Watched the Italy/Mexico game today, don't know why I wasted my time doing so. The Azzurri always start out slow heading in to a major tournament and play their lead up friendlies as if they don't care. They disapoint in that regard today.
