Nistelrooy goal
by Rams on Jun 11, 2008 05:55 AM  Permalink 

Whether it is offside or not, the goal given is irreversible. UEFA's reaction is like they would have reveresed the goal if it was offside. What's the point they are trying to score with this reaction? I am not sure whether they have an obligation to react on every controversial goal!

offside
by Sourav Dasgupta on Jun 10, 2008 09:07 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

The injured player behind the goal counts as a player on the field and therefore it was not offside...who the hell could have predicted this to be a law!!!!

if the player was taken outside on referee's consent, then it would be offside. but the player went off the pitch on his own, and had the legal right to get back on it without waiting for ref's permission. so it is not offside.

nevertheless, holland will crumble in the quarters or semis as usual.

Italy are the world champs... but...
by Agastya Viswambhara on Jun 10, 2008 09:03 PM  Permalink 

This is just at the European level. So people who say Italy are no longer world champs should correct themselves. They will remain to be world champs until the result of the next world cup finals. However, that said, Italy dont have the world cup winning squad going into this tournament - Maldini, Totti have retired. De Rossi, Cannavaro, Inzaghi are on the injury list. Other key players such as Pirlo and Luca Toni are there, but still the team is not complete. Tough chance for them to get into the semis is my prediction. It will take them at least 2 years or 2 seasons more to build a decent reputed team in match to their world cuppers. Regards.

Holland beat Italy in all departments..
by pinto on Jun 10, 2008 08:53 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Wow..at last..after 30 years..Holland beats Italy and how...they really went after the Italians, and beat them in all departments..3-0 was the final score but it could have been 6-2 or something in favour of the dutch..they missed 3 easy one on one chances and all credit goes to buffon...Italians missed couple of good chances too..but I guess this dutch team is looking the best in the tournament so far...along with Germany so they could very well be our Eiro 2008 finalists..

there must be atleast one opposition player (excluding the keeper) between you & the opponents' goal, at the moment when the ball is played to you(This is when you are in the opposite half & not in your half)- if this case is true you are on side else offside. Panucci was behind the goal but still considered to be playing Nistelrooy onside.

Sham, where r u, Cannavaro is ruled out of the Euro due to the injury he had during practice session, we accept, he is the wall for italy, without him the defence became very weak but italy missed number of open chances and dutch goalkeeper also saved some super shots.

Remember specially the '82 world cup, where they went through the qualifying round without even scoring a goal ! But they took on Brazil, Argentina and Germany and defeated them all comprehensively. Paolo Rossi was the hero scoring six goals including a hatrick against Brazil.

Inzaghi is one of the most overrated players in the world...no doubt he has a lot of goals to show for but people dont remember how many sitters he has missed..

Don't forget NESTA.
Italy played without their two best central defenders- cannavaro & nesta.
Buffon couldn't adjust with new defenders. But he is exceptionally good, save Italy thrice in 1 to 1 situations (95% cases goal scored), 2 times were Nistelrooy. Genious...
Don't mind. Italy will be champions, just takes times to adjust.....

Truly, it was poor Lucas Neill of Australia who had the misfortune of being responsible. If he hadn't tackled the Italian [I think it was Del Piero] and no penalty had been awarded things could have been different. It was an out and out legitimate tackle. The Italians were till that time huffing and puffing to get a goal against the spirited Aussies.
