Amazing!
Two excellent free kick goals.

Entertaining game and the players seem to be taking it very seriously, in the case of some of Uruguay's tackling possibly a little too much so.

Just have a read back over the last 1,000 posts on this thread and you should find it.

Now for an actual post on the match - penos looking likely. Wonder if we will get another near flawless display.

ollie1

Forlan's penalty saved. Save from Buffon.

Nuri Sahin

Terrible from Forlan.

GLaDOS

Some poor penalties from Uruguay there

Johner

Italy win. Buffon saves 3 penalties.

ollie1

Well done Italy. Some terrible peno's from Uruguay.

harpstilidie

RTE's stupid online stream broke on the 2nd last penalty. Typical

Turtwig

Congrats Italy.

Overall I think they deserved it. Thought Montilivo second yellow was a deserved yellow but it was his first foul on a yellow. Harsh red imo.

Love Italy tbh. Uruguay's penalties were worse than England's.:pac:
Do some team not rehearse them at all or something?

Nuri Sahin

Fair play to Buffon for making the saves, but they were some poor penalties from Uruguay.

Does anyone know what station the Uruguay v Italy match is on?

Is it in HD? Can someone call round to my gaff and point my satellite in the right direction? What does the red button do? My dog chewed the remote a bit, is that ok?

Rumour that mata is starting in the front 3 and torres too. Thought soldado would come back in after the italy game. Surprising to see mata play rw if true

Mezcita

From Marca.com

Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Mata and Fernando Torres

It's an interesting decision from Del Bosque to make in the final. He's been loyal to a core group of players who have brought him success and Silva has been among that group. That being said Silva was very poor in the semi final, his touch and passing were off, his positioning was an issue and his defensive work caused Spain lots of problems. Mata was very good when he came on and has had a stronger season than Silva,delighted to see him start in the final, I think he deserves it.

Torres is a tough one, poor against Italy but then Soldado really fluffed his lines against Nigeria and it's possibly he hasn't fully recovered from the knock he took. Shame Fabregas also seems to not have fully recovered.

Do you reckon Fabregas will stay at Barca?

I think so. Leaving now would be admitting defeat to himself and the world really after all of the fuss he made about going back "home." He had a good second half to the season after a really poor first half, tbh I wouldn't be that surprised if he is used more in the front 3 next season at Barcelona than the midfield 3, assuming Thiago stays. It's just been tough to find a place for him in the 4-3-3 that Tito favours and the theory has been that he isn't as effective when Messi plays because Messi operates in the space his space.

Personally I like Fabregas, he is really a player that divides opinion among Barcelona fans. Some say he cost too much, that he wasn't needed, that he shouldn't have left in the first place and that his performances since coming back just haven't been good enough. I can see where people are coming from with that argument, he's more direct than Xavi or Iniesta and I always think that if you have a chance of having a player as good as Fabregas at your club then keep him.

do you know if the buy first refusal deal for arsenal actually exists?

As far as I know it's not been officially confirmed by anyone connected to Barcelona but, given the cut-price deal, it's widely believed to exist. That information comes from Barcelona fans better placed to have that sort of knowledge than me.

Fabregas has always been entirely overrated.

IvySlayer

Clarence Seedorf

Shame Fabregas isn't fit, he's been important for Spain this tournament imo.

Brazil have to exploit Alba with not so much protection now...

Corholio

The whole thing of anyone 'following' Spain is pretty hollow and kinda silly to be honest. We all admire them and their domination but to support them at all times is a bit much.

Alba got eaten alive the last nite but I see Spain with a lot more of the ball tonite than they had Thursday. I'd of played Navas too, if for nothing maybe that he'd be a bit fresher than Pedro.

SlickRic

I can't see past Spain.

Brazil's only chances are a lazy Spain, or if they can get at Alba.

Turtwig

Don't agree that Cesc is overrated. He was sublime for the first half of the season for Barca. A key component in their very good form. They need to learn to manage him better so he doesn't start struggling with niggling injuries at the more crucial times in the season.

Cannot for the life of me see why they'd start with Torres. Soldado's been excellent all season. I mean, the guy only had one relatively poor game.

Alba needs more cover this game. Silva was no help to him. Spain's defensive systems leaves the wings back more exposes. They compact the space around the box leaving the wings opens. The reasoning being they're less likely to concede through the wings than from a more centre attack. Also keeping the compactness preserves full back stamina so they can have a greater impact towards the end of the game.

Also, cannot see why Hulk should be starting.

Corholio

Agree on Hulk shouldnt start. For such a big guy with a bit of pace, he doesnt use either anywhere near enough. Lazy to track back too.
