VIVA RONALDOOOOOOOOOOO

My Chumps

Holland weren't that bad. Other three teams were all very class acts- all in the top 9 in the fifa rankings.

And Welbecks goal > Balotellis goal for goal of the tournament.

ITALY THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS :)

Spain throught the Grand Final.
Poor Ronaldo never got to take a penalty ;)

Ronaldo shoulda gotten two pens in the game imo. He was taken down in the box one time that was 50/50 but another clear handball was missed that should've been given.

Yeah a lot of refereeing decision were made. Ronaldo was going down quite easily though.
If they gave Ronaldo those penalties, then Spain could have gotten a penatly at one stage as well.

I think overall the refereeing was good.

Spain 4 - Italy 0

only other times Italy have been beaten 4-0 in any game

they were defeated 4-0 by Yugoslavia in something called the Central European International Cup in 1955.

The only other times they have conceded four in a match without reply were in 1948 against England and against Austria in 1924.

Italy were very unlucky with injuries tbh. Chiellini went down early and he's a gun, then there's (player who I forgot his name) who put them down to 10 men, plus (forgot too- c'mon it was 3am wasn't really awake) did a little injury but played on.

Italy played very poorly though. Buffon, Pirlo, de Rossi, Marchisio etc were not of their usual standard.

add to the over reliance on players playing for Juventus.........

And someone finally marked pirlo for the whole game.. good on xavi for just running around with him the whole game
