Why is it when Italy wins they people never say Italy outplayed them they always say lcky Italians. But when Spain wins they say Spain deserved it they outplayed them. When Brazil wins they get praise. When England wins they are the best soccer nation all of a sudden but when the holder of of 4 world cups wins they say it was lucky. NO EUROPEAN TEAM HAS AS MANY WORLD CUPS AS US. Yet most European fans are the ones that say Italy got very lucky for winning.

Spain Outplayed ITaly and beat them in the Euro Cup
or should it be
Spain was lucky Italy was plagued with Injury and Suspension. Is anyone telling me that with the 4 key players they were missing, would Spain still won the Euro Cup. JESUS ****IN CHRIST, they barley lost against Italy, and they weren't even playing against Italy's best players.. half of Italy's bench was on the playing field.

SPAIN IS A PAPERBACK CHAMPION OF ITALY

right ysabel, she is the only one that knows Italy is a good team. It's probably a French thing.

4 World Cup wins?

Wow! Those are some lucky Italians

It's not like I'm saying we WERE good.. and now we're not. 1934, 1938.. WE WERE GOOD THEN.. 1982.. WE WERE GOD THEN TOO.. 2006 WE ARE STILL GOOD NOW.

so b4 anyone says italy is as overatted as Uruguay.. shutup! I MEAN PEOPLE ARE GIVING PORTUGAL MORE RESPECT THAN ITALY

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

PORTUGAL , THEY'VE QUALIFIED FOR THE WORLD CUP LESS TIMES THAN ITALY WON IT

Who is saying it?

There's always luck involved anyway in the games. Skills are important too, of course. But you know that a team with very skillfull players can suddenly have all the bad luck and lose (injuries, hitting the posts, bad referreeing, best player getting a red card *coughzidanecough*).

I think we all get a share of the being accused as being lucky over a win. But people just like to tease Italy fans more because you are one of the most passionate fans. Heck, you throw your tv sets when your team loses.

Their just lucky I suppose!!

Nobody likes successful teams and they look for excuses. Saying their 'lucky' is just an excuse to cover up the fact that their actually quite good.

That is F'in WRONG! Im being surrounded by the same from Eastern Europeans [!?] here, people freakin' ****!ng about Prtugal and Italy. They may or may not be anywhere near on the parallel tracks but there is NO BLOODY way Portugal...PORTUGAL?
*coughstillthinkhedeserveditcough*

Seriamant? Damn right we do! Especially when freakin' Portugese ...SERIOUSLY? F'in aye!

*sorry*

LOL.. I guess it should be fair to say Italy has been unlucky ALOT.. The worst that comes to mind is Korea 2002, it's not normal if a team gets (5) goals dissalowed 3 straight games... then people have the balls to say "Italy is boring cuz they don't score" I mean we even got robbed IN OUR OWN HOUSE. World Cup 1990 NAPOLI; Italia c. Argentina..
its all here

beatiful vid btw

No question about that. It was a stupid reaction at a crucial point of the game and his career, and it definitely affected the team's chance to get that WC. Anyway, *coughstillthinkmaterazziisfullof****cough*
