Gayvid Lee Natra,
You would never support The Dutch and I would never support the Germans. Now we have that clear:
Originally posted by DavidLeeNatra but now that I think about it...italy vs holland...that's a tough one...can we make both airplanes crash in the air on their flight to the game?
I think that's the most likely result to but you never know.
The Italians are so fucking negative at the best of times I can hardly imagine how negative they'll be in a World Cup semi final.
Scotland had them in the qualifiers and could have won both games. They won 2-0 in Italy with two brilliant free kicks and it was a 0-0 draw in Scotland.
They are tedious. The only chance is that they might play a bit since most of the team are looking for a new club.
(Reuters) - Hours before their World Cup semi-final against hosts Germany eight of Italy's likely starting line-up received the news their clubs could be relegated from top flight football.
On Tuesday, the prosecutor in Italy's match-fixing trial against four clubs -- Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio -- said he wanted all of them demoted from the top flight Serie A with Juventus relegated to the third tier Serie C or below.

Juventus have eight players still at the World Cup -- five of them in the Italy squad and three with the France team who face Portugal in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
They would have also learnt on Tuesday that their manager Fabio Capello has resigned.
In all, there are 13 players in the Italy squad from the four clubs threatened with relegation and eight of them could expect to be in the starting line-up against Germany in Dortmund later on Tuesday.

The core of Italy's impressive defence, which has conceded just a single goal in five games at the World Cup is made up of Juventus players.

Key central midfielders Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso play for Milan while the most likely strike pairing against Germany would be Milan's Alberto Gilardino alongside Fiorentina's Luca Toni.
No players have been implicated in the scandal which is focussed on the role of club officials and referees over the past two seasons.
The Azzurri's pre-World Cup training camp was dominated by discussion of the scandal but coach Marcello Lippi, who enjoyed two successful spells in charge of Juventus working alongside some of the officials who are being charged by the tribunal, has insisted the affair has not affected his team in any way.
"I said before the tournament that I didn't want this mess to become an excuse for a poor performance and now that things have gone well I don't want to hear it added to our pluses that we did well in the midst of this," he said at the pre-match news conference on Monday.
France's players from Juventus are striker David Trezeguet, midfielder Patrick Vieira and defender Lilian Thuram.
