Eurocup 2008 Italy vs Spain, what is your prediction?
 

Mine is that Spain will win 2-1, what is yours?:thumbsup

Spain has the potential, maybe later we will have an Iberian match, nuestros hermanos :thumbsup

But, Italy usually win when has to win, they are very strong under pressure.

2-1 to spain.

Italy always start off crap and get better as the competition runs, Spain the opposite.
I live in Spain but grandmother is Italian, so I don't care.
I hope Germany beat Portugal though, just to see Ronaldo cry (little shit needs a good slap).

Last official match as I recall was in the USA worldcup quarterfinals where Italy beat Spain 2-1, last friendly game played a few months ago Spain beat Italy 1-0. I am sure it will be a great match.

Spain will win this. And win the whole thing if their mojo is rising.

Spain will pwn Italy.

ok i dont have the graph before me, but if I recall corectly it's gonan be like that

1/4

Portugal beats Germany
Croatia vs Turkey = not sure who wins but it doesnt matter, because next round they gonan lose anyway
Italy vs Spain - see above
Holland - Russia or sweden - Holland wins

then 1/2

Portugal vs - Croatia/Turkey - Portugal wins
Holland vs Italy/Spain = Holland wins

final: Portugal vs Holland, Holland wins

:pimp

Holland is playing amazing. I'm putting money on it today so hopefully they keep it up.

Spain will run over Italy without any kind of problems.


Mike :)

Spain hands down, will be a great match. Italy will be missing two major players as well because they got cards in the last game. Vamos ESpanya!

I hope spain wins... I hate italy!

Italy sucks big time. Hope the Spain will go to the next round. My guess is 1:0 for Spain

go Spain... then go Holland to win the whole thing...

that is FUNNY !!! LOL

FORZA AZZURRI !!!! :thumbsup

Viva España!!!!!!

I'll wait and see how Spain handles Greece today, but if I had to make a prediction on the spain-Italy game on June 22nd I will say Italy wins it.

Just a feeling, I could be wrong. Probably am.

spain 4-1

I can totally agree with these....It's a pity for Spain, they really deserve it, but Italy will win...I hate them :disgust

Italy will win. Germany will beat Portugal too.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Italy beat Spain.

Spain are in better form, and look the more dangerous. But Italy always get through somehow, and remain calm under pressure. Spain have a habit of looking good in these tournaments, but failing when it counts most!

Will be close, but i'll go for Italy 2 - Spain 1

And then Croatia will beat Germany!!!
And in the end we don't care who will be in the final as will all know that Croatia will win the EURO!!!

See ya all!

let's do a bet

I say Portugal beats Germany (reaches next round)

100 bucks epassporte? deal? :glugglug

Italy will win

I already have a bet on the game but thanks.

I'm looking forward to the Croatia - Turkey game.

Turkey really blew a lot of people's minds a few days ago with that crazy comeback win over the Czecks.

Yeah, sounds good to me:thumbsup

Spain will win for sure!

Italy will win 1 to nil

i hope spain wins

A little history lesson for those who have never watched Spain and Italy in a major tournament.

EVERY SINGLE TOURNAMENT

Spain = Starts off strong looks like the favorite (just like now). They always peak to early and by the time they get to the knockout stages their magic is gone. They always lose to what seems as an inferior team.

Italia = Completely opposite. Every tournament they start out like shit. Don't believe me look up 1994 and 2006. Ok so 2006 they had a decent run in the group but THEY TIED US. The point is Italia is a team that peaks at the right momenth in every tournament.

Italia 3 - 2 Spain

Forza Azzuri

Spain will pull it out

totally agree with you on your comments, but this time will be different. VIVA ESPAÑA

Game is warming up
 

Spain's coach stated that, "If Gattuso is Italy's main man, then I'm a priest.

TEAM SPIRIT - Furious inside but keeping it well hidden, Rino will have to look on from the sidelines, and that won't be easy for him. He knows Spain is playing well and that Italy will have to sweat blood to outdo them: because Pirlo won't be playing either, one of the few players capable of shooting deep. "In technical terms, Italy is on equal footing with Spain", said the Rossonero, "we've got some talented alternatives and it's the team spirit that makes the difference." He knows Italy's quarter-final opponents well: "I've always struggled to take the ball from Spanish teams; we'll need to work on this. They play a technical game and are experts in keeping possession. They're like the Barcelona side of two years ago. And then there's Torres; he's good, especially when his game seems to give Spain a numerical advantage.

These comments from the Gazzetta. Can not wait for the match

you saved some $$ :winkwink:

I think Italy will get the pass by penalties..

By the way, is today the match?

No. Todays match is Croatia v Turkey.

Italy - Spain is on Sunday i think...

Well in the end Spain took it on penalties, I think they really deserved it as they had the game initiative most of the time, now for the russians. It will be a great game I an sure it wll be a very close game, russians have certainly improved their game, pretty sure there will be lots of goals as both teams play attacking football.:upsidedow:upsidedow

Spain won !!!(Spain didn't won an official match against Italy for over 88 years)
Well this was the payback time.

I watched it in a local Spanish bar - great atmosphere!:thumbsup:thumbsup
