UEFA - Euro 2012 (Page 6) Run Natalia: haha i Saw Neuer it was hilarious, i really had a big time watching the last minutes of that match, because i saw germany's desperation and they almost had it, but come on! Italy's showed not only good defense over the years but also this football personality that allows them make it always to the next round (great example, Germany 2006)  ZEITGEIST MARIUS: yes Neuer is cool about germany.it s a complex.germany never defeated italy and i can post here all the matches between italy and germany i think italy won for 4 times. 4-3 3-1 2-0 and 2-1 and 2 equals.1-1 and 0-0 Run Natalia: I know right? I mean, WHY is Germany so strong and aggressive playing football against other strong teams, but when it comes to Italy it's like they were stopped by some invisible obstacle and you can actually see them slow and not with the same guts..what is it? Particularly I looove Philip Lahm but I saw him this time trying so hard for few great shots.. BUT! the last minutes, oh my god, Germany just gave it all but i guess it was too late ZEITGEIST MARIUS: it s a psychologic thing.for example.the national feminine handball defeated everybody but always they lost against yugoslavia and now against serbia  my fav are Neuer and Klose it s not about intimidation for sure-  lavendar_star: I agree with that Zeitgeist, its like England with penalties or playing against the Germans, but good for Italy though they were written off in the beginning of the Euros because of scandal and their last world cup performance. I have to say I am looking forward to the World Cup especially as its going to be in Brazil, it should be good and ahot competition. Run Natalia: Ohh well, I guess psychology has a lot to do with intimidation: you can be the best of yourself in front of everyone but you cant surely feel that confident if you're in front of someone that somehow makes you feel insecure, I think we all get intimidated by someone without an apparent reason..just like that and My favourites are Lahm and..Muller is goood, Ozil..they're all really talented but defin. Lahm is the brain and speed Run Natalia: Yeah ,we're going to see the best of Italy, but also the best of south american teams! Brazil is so close to my country thank god lavendar_star: They were rubbish, overpaid n over hyped, it was a national embarrassment to my country. But yes I imagine the South American countries should do well as they are in their own region, South Africa was a let down and quite boring so 2014 should live up to its hype. ZEITGEIST MARIUS: yes lavender.of course yes there are 2 big issues with england.the 11 m and the matches against germans but also in a competition a team needs look in 2006 italy plays with usa.ghana and czech in the group stages.then with australia and ukrainne and the semifinale with germany. spain in 2010 also.they played with honduras.chille switerland.teams wich are nothing in football but people will remember only the winner not these yes wc are amazing 2014 will come soon i would like to see a group like.brazil.germany italy and spain but it wont happen this lol ZEITGEIST MARIUS: it s something implemented in the brain Natalia. loew the coch of germany should introduced reus and klose from the 1 minute but he put there idiots like mario gomez brazil is close to your state? where you from? Run Natalia: haha, well I must tell you South American teams did pretty well in the last cup, so watch out! I hate them because thanks to them Peru is pretty far from going to the cup once again... anyways, I'm from Peru, great football here but not enough to beat uruguay, brazil or Argentina, we're stuck! ZEITGEIST MARIUS: Peru? Machu Pichu Nazca lines Nevado Mismi Aguaqualiente,Lima and Arequipa haha  in Peru also can be found the highest track train lavendar_star: That's true Spain had it quite easy takes the shine of their win for me putting that into focus but still they have done something no other team has winning 3 consecutive tournaments. Yes the German manager had bad tactics, he kept swapping and changing too much. Anyway, I imagine there will be a lot of pressure on the South American teams but they should do well, at least one in the final but I think a Euro team would be there as well, lets see. yeah lol (Edited by lavendar_star) Run Natalia: wow yeah all of that we have! haha..you've ever come? anyways u can move to sports chat room if u want, so we can speak more fluently ZEITGEIST MARIUS: cool i always having problem with males from england lol but most of ladies are nice  lavendar_star: OK cool. well maybe it a alpha male thing but I am nice Zeitgeist I know its going to a carnival atmosphere and no bloody vuvuzelas, have a good one Natalia. We got the Olympics in my home city in a few weeks, I wonder if I should do a thread or just let someone else do it. | Sports Chat Room Similar Conversations |
