>the two strongest players are injured (imagine Germany without Mueller/Kroos or Spain without Iniesta/Busquets) >start in the hardest group >have to play with Serie B tier players because other players got injured (De Rossi and Candreva)
But we still almost won against Germany
Meanwhile France have never played against a strong team yet and Portugal haven't won a game yet and they're in the semifinals
Oliver Martinez
Life sucks and then you die
Xavier Allen
We were tactical in the group stages. Remember the paper Ronaldo got? It told him to draw so we could get into the Ed group
Brayden Perez
>Meanwhile France have never played against a strong team yet and Portugal haven't won a game yet and they're in the semifinals
So exactly like Italy in 2006?
Nolan Butler
>be Zidane >get mad >still obsessed after 10 years lmao , how's madrid doing lad?
Isaiah Smith
In 2012 we played against Australia who were shit of course, but also against Ukraine (they had Shevchenko back then, they were a lot stronger than today), Germany and then France, so I'm not sure what you're even talking about
Nolan Bailey
His own fault for not bringing Balotelli
Hunter Gutierrez
You honestly did nothing to win though.
Gifted a penalty by Boateng and then it was 11 man defense again lmao
Xavier Stewart
It was hilarious when I first raw Bonucci going to take the pen in 78' but then I realized Italy has no good penalty takers in the team right now.
Also the lack of good strikers fucked them over. Sure, Pelle and Eder were playing at 110% of their abilities but it's still not enough.
Florenzi also sucked dick other than that one heel save.
Brayden Foster
>It was hilarious when I first raw Bonucci going to take the pen in 78' but then I realized Italy has no good penalty takers in the team right now. Sames Conte preferred atheltic players to technical ones
Daniel Howard
It wasn't a bad choice. But going to pens kind of made the spaghetti spill itself.
Funny thing is the best PKs that went in for Italy were shot straight in the middle under the bar. Anything that went to sides was either saved, missed, or barely went in.
Isaac Perez
Even if you would have won the penalties you wouldn't have deserved to advance. Your playstyle is what makes football a shit viewer sport (together with diving; which you also happen to be the masters of).
11 grown men so called "athletes" running around doing nothing sucking dick for 90 mins.
Tyler Martinez
>masters of busparking talking shit
Carl-Johan pls
Owen Powell
As soon as the penalty taker tried anything like a stutter step or mind games with Neuer, he missed. Zaza and Pelle were the main culprits. Parolo had the right idea, he looked completely unphased and he just banged the ball into the net, no doubt about it.
Jose Hernandez
Reus and Gündogan are injured and khedira and gomez injured themselves during the game. So stop crying.
Asher Thompson
>muh injuries Reus, Gündogan are not even at the tournament because they are injured and Khedira literally died after 12 minutes. fuck off, if it wasn't for Memeteng we would have won 1-0 after 90 minutes.
Evan Stewart
That's the thing with penalty kicks. If you're not 100% sure where to shoot the ball the moment you start walking to it from the middle of the pitch, you're likely to miss.
Jayden Baker
>imagine Germany without Mueller
He's so out of form I wouldn't even mind it. Kroos on the other hand...
Jaxon Myers
The difference is that Germany has a huge pool of talents
Christopher Butler
Don't cry too much
Austin Perez
yeah, you have every right to be proud tbqh. Penalties are just a coin toss, really.
Hudson Williams
no shame in losing penalties against the world champions
Colton Evans
This is really disappointing to see Italy. Stop whining. You were really sportsmanlike before the match and now you're just complaining about it. You lost, get over it. Germany was clearly the better team and pretty much your only shot on goal during 90 mins was the penalty.
Josiah Clark
I actually believe this. Also, Italy stop whining please. You lose any bragging rights by being a crying child. Toughen the fuck up
Samuel Rodriguez
>no Reus >no Gündogan >no Lahm Yea, Germany didnt miss any good and important players right. HALBFINALE!
Brody Fisher
>no Reus shit
>no Gündogan shit
>no Lahm retired
Blake Edwards
Bayern "fan" fuck off.
Brody Watson
To his defense, Gündogan IS shit.
Matthew Ward
We deservedly lost, it was incredible we made it that far but Germany played better and, in the end, had that enough luck to win. Had we won, we would lelling at Germans forever ever. Overall, given the players we had and the superiority of Germany, it's good we were not destroyed like against Spain in 2012. Plus, I expected Krauts to be much more bragging and obnoxious, instead they show much respect for the way we went down. In the end, the only important thing is that we didn't lose because of a 90' lucky goal or a refball, the rest doesn't matter. My dream is Wales-Iceland in the final.
Cameron Clark
words to live by
Tyler Murphy
Almost won. kek
How many attempts on the target? I guess none.
Ayden Reed
Are you retarted? Did you watch any of his games this season? Hes the best German midfielder besides Kroos.
Samuel Green
So the better, more talented side won? Kek
Blake Hall
>Without Müller Top kek if Müller didn't play and we had an actual useful player instead of him on the pitch you would have been BTFO
Brandon King
>Gündogan top kek >Khedira Come on mate. Schweinsteiger played better against Italy than Khedira all games before.
Landon Collins
Life is not fair buddy.
Jack Roberts
>He also thinks Kroos is good Well, I guess it's not your fault that you're braindead.
Jaxson Ramirez
>(imagine Germany without Mueller/Kroos or Spain without Iniesta/Busquets)
>just put someone else from the 20m - 40m range from the bench into play,
yes its unfortunate if a good player is hurt, but it does not burden die mannschaft as it burdens other teams when their ronaldos are injured
try to put some money into your youth
Brody Wilson
are you high? kroos is a pleb version of alonso, lacking any sort of specialty except the occasional longshot. gundogan is way better than kroos and even he's still only mediocre. yall are lucky you have ozil and schweini can still walk on a field.
Isaac Gutierrez
>say 2006 >itafriend talkin bout 2012
Lul wut
Aaron Carter
>Dude, it's clearly a typo.
Gabriel Martin
But your great players were replaced with other great/good players We were missing four (4) KEY players that got replaced with shitty Serie B tier players Don't get me wrong I have no hard feelings and your win was totally deserved. But I am sure we might have had more chances if so many of our players weren't injured
Isaiah King
Football isnt your sport. Switch to something shitty like your life.
>ozil and schweini Hahaha. Özil is good at Arsenal, plays bullshit for Germany. Schweini should retire from international football, he is not that good anymore.
Aaron Hill
>Schweini should retire from international football TOP FUCKING KEK He's played better yesterday than Khedira ever has in his life you fucking retard.
Carson Watson
>Gündogan >German
lmao
Lucas Cruz
>Özil is good at Arsenal
LOL
Austin Richardson
you have only played against one strong team, that was germany.
Ethan Hill
I remember that dive to get that penalty against australia to get through
Xavier Allen
least you went out fighting unlike fucking england who flopped out like a spastic kipper
William Nguyen
Mother of god. On top of modern football being shit, the "fans" dont even understand their shit sport.
Not only is Ozil by a wide margin Germany's best player, but he's the only remotely classy operator playing the sport at the moment.
All the other "stars" are genetically enhanced midgets or doped up horse like galloping machines.
Eli Cooper
>Irish blood, English brain, this I'm made ooof
Brayden Hill
That is not an achievement since Khedira is the worst player in the N11
6 goals, 19 assists in 35 games. Better than every irish player ever.
There is a difference between being the best player in General and playing the best in the N11 you retard. Özil mostly performs less than his ability. Do you actually watch games of Germany or are you just a retard? muh Özil played for Real muh Özil plays for Arsenal muh best player
Chase Morgan
Ozil is shit lad. A complete has been. Just like Muller, only that Muller is even worse than Ozil.
What is up there apart of Mario Gómez btw? Are Reus and Gotze in the team?
Mason Rodriguez
Mate I'm still salty about that fucking dive to get that pen.
Noah Jackson
mate, it was a shitty tackle that got 0 ball and got in the way, forcing grosso to jump over him to not injure the kangaroo. on top of that the kangaroo even put his elbow out to further halt him passing, stay salty.
Matthew King
>Meanwhile France have never played against a strong team yet
