Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #120 – June 20, 2014, 06:57:36 pm Hate to say it but I backed the Italians today, I just feel they are the best side I've seen so far, they have the right blend of experience and youth and at $17 I couldn't resist having a nibble.

I'd have to say I'm a bit over the honourable loss stuff as well.Terms like brave, battlers, unlucky and people making excuses for them gets on my tits.I'm getting a bit cynical but I can't help get the feeling we were getting sold something.The way the media have covered the bombers in much the same way probably has something to do with it.

Because I put $50 on them @ $17 to win the tournament to deliberately jinx them. Happy to pay $50 to see them bow out. Plus Sportsbet refunds your $50 if they get knocked out in penalties which we know if they reach the knockout phase of the tournament is a high probability.

Most people thought they would get beat 5-0 in their matches.

Do not forget PI2C, the Italians won the World Cup in 2006 due to penalty shoot out!But yes, that was a very rare occurance. We are a funny bunch, us wogs.
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #127 – June 21, 2014, 09:36:31 pm Yep thats what I like about the bet....it's a win/win. Italians win and I collect $850, they lose and I enjoy the fact they didn't win. If they lose in penalties even better!
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #128 – June 25, 2014, 12:43:02 am A retrospective comment about last nights game between Oz v Spain. We showed a heap of courage but geez the different in class was apparent. Although when Breshi came on you could see the difference in class between some of our finishers and himself. Am surprised Spain have performed as poorly they have, they really looked polished last night.. Anyway gearing up for the Italian game in just under an hour
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #129 – June 25, 2014, 04:15:38 am LMAO can't believe Italy is out in the group stage.....won't be long, maybe another 4 hours and Greece will be too.
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #130 – June 25, 2014, 07:49:16 am Switched off as soon as I saw Uruguay score. Italy's sole purpose in the second half was to stop Uruguay scoring - no interest in scoring themselves. Should've taken their chances in the first half. Second World Cup in succession they've been knocked out at the group stage. Fooey.

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #134 – June 25, 2014, 10:01:25 am If ever there was a reason to introduce some sort of video review system, or at least have a very good look at the whole penalty system, there you have it. Very harsh result considering there was no infringement.
