You did see our DDR appreciation thread in the Roma section right? Hell, I think you commented there too

Of course I did , De Rossi is GOAT

Not active enough for my liking tho

People need to recognize

At the end of the day I think it's a a bit disrespectful to call this match Pirlo vs Iniesta on both ends, Iniesta is definitely not Spain, some would say he hasn't even been our best player thus far, but he definitely has the most quality, on the other hand i feel as though De Rossi has a similar level of quality and performance to Pirlo at the moment.

And I feel as though he will definitely be more important in the final, just due to the makeup of both sides and how the game will be played.

Believe me, we Roma fans know just how important De Rossi can be to a side. Does Pirlo cause him to be underrated? Certainly and it's more down to the fact that they have different roles in the team. This thread seems to have been created with the attacking battle between Pirlo and Iniesta in mind, but it ultimately be DDR's job to try and limit Iniesta's influence so in that regard, it should really be De Rossi vs Iniesta, but even if this thread was named that, there would be insertions of Pirlo anyways.

Either way, DDR wouldn't get the praise he deserves. We as Roma fans know that far better than anyone else as we've watched him longer than anyone else.

I put the club arguments aside once it comes to national team , its the matter of Unity and great Italy rather than clubs , two key players that can change the game are pirlo & Iniesta , even though De Rossi as always doing a great job .

Team struggling for possession and midfield control ? Let me step into a DM/CM role and help keep possession.

Germany trying to overpower us by playing both AM's?, Chiellini struggling? No problems let me lock down both Ozil and Kroos.

Germany faltering? I have this, I'll go up , lay it on a platter for Marchisio twice to kill off the game.

Technique,skill,desire,heart,versatility,tactical awareness,street smartness in abundance and tenacity.

All this playing through serious nerve damage.

A legend.

Motta and Nocerino ...laughable.

I know you were just responding to an unwarranted attack, but everyone back on topic please, this is getting very sidetracked.

by El Gunner Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:14 am

Spain's got this one!!!

It'll be a cagey opening. Italy's defense will be organised, and they'll be making it tough for Spain to get in their mojo!

But in the 2nd half Italy will start to get tired and Spain will get 2 well deserved goals.

Therefore becoming the 1st team to win 3 major competitions in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bow:

by The Sanchez Sat Jun 30, 2012 11:10 am

Lol. Navas will come on for Xavi probably (as he is out of positioned) or Xabi Alonso and Iniesta will drop the midfield around the 64th minute and Spain will play well with three actual forwards for once...
EDIT: Thats with Torres and Pedro starting...

Unfortunately, I think Spain will win.

Is there an Iniesta diagram similar to that?

Good one. I too think that the wind is with Italy and they will win this tournament. Pirlo will then unquestionably win best player. If all that happens then I hope he also wins best player in Europe and the Fifa Ballon D'or.

I want to ask the same question to arqui since he talks about both national teams as his own if I remember correctly. It's a bit similar to me with Argentina and Spain.

by Adit Sat Jun 30, 2012 6:47 pm

Arq is biased towards Italia :coffee:

It has been proven again and again during this Euro :coffee:

Espana has only one basque while Italy has .....well whole are italians :coffee:

So you know who he will be supporting :coffee:

Senna and Xavi all over again.

Omg, what are you doing? :facepalm:

Right, cus Di Natale was assisted by De Rossi, cus he scored a free-kick against Croatia, all this plus controlling the game. Let's not even talk about the penalty.

Shut up man :facepalm:

LOL don't try to turn this into a Milan Vs Juventus argument, because it isn't. Laughing

No need to try to start anything.
