Marsh, you babbling duck, you're too early..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

I suppose Roy would be happy if Italy won and then he can claim to have been knocked out of the competition by the European Champions.
I'm not sure I can be bothered watching this game after the way the Spanish conducted themselves against Portugal the other night. Normally I would want Spain to win, but the Italians don't cheat as much so I hope they win.

That's exactly what he'll say.
"It's no disgrace to be knocked out of this tournament by the winners, we matched their performance and remember - we didn't lose - but were knocked out by the cruel penalty draw"
You can see it now. Italy winning would be hell.

Yes, it'll be exactly that.
I said to a German colleague only on Friday how I'd been disappointed Germany lost because I wanted to be able to say England had lost to the team that lost to the team that won it. The more countries between Hodgson and the winners, the better..

I reckon Italy will take it now, they have just gained more and more momentum as the tournament have progressed. Just like 2006, match-fixing scandals, poor pre-tournament displays and all of a sudden in a final!
Plus I still don't think Spain will win 3 in a row, but it's amazing even being in 3 straight finals

Interesting from Wenger on Spain: "betraying their philosophy...originally they wanted possession to attack and win; now a way not to lose."

Not sure Spain will take any notice of Arsene Wenger's criticism of their approach - at least not until Arsenal win a trophy again.

Do find this bandwagon that Spain are "boring/negative" amazing. Would England's fans be bored watching their team play like Spain? No.
