The ref cheated us! He only gave us two penalties and only sent a single belgian off! It’s an Asian conspiracy.!!&*%^%$http://www.mightyfootball.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

the second wasn’t worth red… besides, 11 against 10 with 2 penalties granted ans still italy lost. In that case belgium deserves to proceed…

Argentinians man, they are the ones to blame. The referee was Argentinian.
Brazil won, yes!!!!
Quote
agh
belgium was the better team today
and the pushed and poked the whole match
they gave everything and showed italy who was the best on the field
they where fighting till the end and italy didnt expect a strong belgian team to kick their asses

An answer for Carlo: Yes, you are right: the referee helped Belgium to win. BUT, don’t forget that belgians arrived to score 3 goals even if they were only 10 against 11!!!
Well done, really!
Congratulation to Belgium!

there was no charge filed in anyway
italy wasnt the stronger team in fact
they overclassed italy in duels and
they didnt stop atackin till the end
they have overpowered italy this time …
2 penalty where given and score and the belgians didnt look down once . they actualy used that and rebounded and scored
and dont reply yeah the scored cause of the penalty’s …. that would be ehm u know ….

Thank god Italy is out … Your catennaccio always sucked badly.
You bought two world cups in 34 + 38 in middle of the war, with Argentinian players in the squad … You won only a decent cup in ‘82.
Then again a piece of shit team won in 2006, pure speculative catennaccio, which hurts so much the spirit of the football.
God bless Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka, all quality players.
Die to: All Italian shitty rustic players.

THAT IS SOOO TRUE MAN, SO TRUE, I hate to say it but our Argentinian team was the best in 2006 and that freak loss to Germany where Klose should have been sent off for kicking Abbondanzieri still smarts…
Quote
ooh the belgians have showed some courage today, even with 10 they were better
Quote
wonderful game!!!!
loved it!!
Especially Belgium!
Quote
Now they only have to take down nigeria and we
can start believing in a Gold Medal !!!!!
but if they lost i wouldnt be sad cause they already did what they wanted to do …
be at the top 8

To all idiots that insulted Italian history of soccer…..fuck yourselves! Especially to some Argentinian that forgot WC in 1978 the most robbed and bought world cup of all the times!
Anyway congratulation to Belgium, they played better. Italian defender Viviano and Bocchetti sucked!
