I don't really like him, but I guess I'd go for Michael Ballack.

Zidane. But right now CR for sure.

by Guest Sun Apr 08, 2012 12:34 pm

Lampard bottled one of the most important penalties of his career, same with Gerrard Very Happy

That comedy shoot outs in 2006.

1. I wanted Australia to win because I live here, I'm born here and they were the underdogs.
2. I wanted Italy to win because of my family background, the great Milan players in that team and the fact that they actually had a realistic chance of winning the whole tournament.
3. Australia were cheated.
4. The ref was deceived.
5. It's been 8 years now, time to move on.

I generally don't like Australian sports teams due to our insanely disrespectful media.

Xabi Alonso, he is a very underrated PK taker and has always delivered when it has mattered.

Australian media :bow:

makes the sun look like a respectful media source

by dostoevsky Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:22 pm

Totti, Balotelli and Pirlo come to mind from Italy.

Xabi Alonso is also an excellent shout, whilst the fact that anyone who speaks German and who started playing before 2006 can generally be relied upon has already been mentioned.

Missed one in CL Final.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:24 pm

Knowing that CR let pressure get to him, not sure i would pick him. I would say Alonso.

Super Mario

by Aensensen Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:30 pm

by shamr9pato Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:35 pm

I think we can sum up our football media like this...

1. Aus team wins something insignificant
\/
2. blown out of proportion by the media
\/
3. labelled 'contenders' in the major tournament coming up
\/
4. media creates a huge superiority complex
\/
5. general lack of public education about the tournament
\/
6. disrespect of future opponents
\/
7. unrealistic aspirations
\/
8. beaten by a better team
\/
9. denial and loathing of whoever has beaten the Australian team
\/
10. the upcoming insignificant game will boost confidence

by halamadrid2 Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:36 pm

pretty sure he has missed for Sweden... actually just remembered he has missed

by billionmillion Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:43 pm

i also quite liked how all Aus media went into revolt when Kewel was sent off at the WC for handballing on the line although it was quite funny when the media was "shocked" that germany flogged australia
