itali is out og the game - yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

:):):)

Couldn't be happier right now.

The Italian football is seriously ill. They need a complete reformation or they will fall apart in the next few years. I'm not only talking about the national team obviously...

Funny enough the only good thing Italian football had in the past few years was Mourinho and Inter's success. And the Italian press and majority of Italians did everything to bring him down.

Now they don't even have that xD

Yeah, with Mourinho gone, expect Inter to collapse especially with players like Maicon leaving to Real Madrid {probably}

They were really really shit, I didn't expect much from them this match, but apart from 2 moments of magic from the guy whose name begins qu... and ends erella (but the middle I am not sure about!), there was very little from them. Well player Slovakia

This evening, the Netherlands are through, so it is just up to who can do better between Japan and Denmark, I am backing Japan

Well Netherlands is already qualified no matter what happens tonight  

I hope that Japan goes through as well, it's my favourite Asian side. That way the next round will have a team from every federation (since Asia and Oceania was put up on the same federation), which will be unique in WC history.

It's hard to support an Italian team that hasn't got italian players...Also Mourinho won, also because Inter gave all the players he wanted in the team since the beginning, Inter is the only italian team who can afford it, at the moment, since juventus was damaged a lot, in image and economic terms by the "calciopoli" scandal, and also since Berlusconi seem like he doesn't want to invest anymore in Milan.

Can't say anything negative about Mourinho, but Inter is not a good example of Italian Football either.

I used to be an Inter fan, but regarding the last few years I have no clue why.

They cheated just as bas as Juve did in 2006, but they weren't punished for that.

More recent:

The team is made up of ~80% foreigners. They played 90 minutes in the CL finals without one Italian player.

They played in the CL with 2 players who didn't have a valid contract, when the Champions League started.

Guess I'm only an AC Milan fan now. Even though Berlusconi is probably the most foolish and maniacal politician since Hitler.

EDIT: Forgot the debts of €400m. But still enough money to buy more players.... That should be illegal.

It's odd, I always thought that the main figures that Mourinho supported were the backbones of Inter even before he coached them, like Materazzi, Toldo or Zanetti. 

Mourinho knows how to pick players and knows what players are the best for the specifications of the team and how he wans them to play. If Inter gave him that possibility, then it was a good move, since in the end it paid off. 

And that other team excuse if pretty lame. That may have some little value inside the Italian league, but doesn't explain the success he had in European level. He's a great coach and it's pretty sad a lot of people try as hard as they can to devalue him.

The only team I cheer for in Italian league is Fiorentina.

2 reasons -

1.Sinisa Mihalovic is their coach - played for my home town in Serbia when I was a kid

2. Vlada Avramov is their back up goalie - we grew up together in the same building and have hung out as kids...

But they have been a constant 4th placed team in their league...

I don't buy the "If it has foreign players, the team has less value" excuse. A football team has the same value with or without national players. As long as they do everything in their reach to honor and value the team they're playing for at the moment, they have the same value as any other player of the same country.

I'm not an Inter fan at all, I don't care what they did or if they cheated or not. i'm a Mourinho fan, who just hates some lame excuses that are thrown around to minimize his value and success when he's clearly one of the best football coaches today.
