I was having an arguement with an Italian supporter after Australia got knocked out and he kept harping on aboout Italy having three titles. Now I knew beforehand that those early world cups were small but I didnt realise how crap they were till I did some reading.
Basically before 1954 the world cups were small with nations withdrawing after qualifying (India for not being allowed to play barefoot), some countries refusing to send teams ( Argentina ) other teams invited and not having to qualify etc etc.

So basically I have decided that I will no longer recognise any world cups before 1954

as they were.......................crap

So Italy now has one star

uruguay has 0

hahaha...good one......That's harsh though...

...I won't take their titles away from them, because everything is relative. Hasely Crawford's winning time in 1976, probably wouldn't win him a medal in today's race.....does that mean that he was undeserved of his title as olympic champion ?.....anyways I agree though that using the past to argue for the present is often weak...especially in sports, and especially when we're talking about 1934 & 1938....funny post...we should get some Italians on the board and see what they think.....in the mean time talk to Kappa (do they still wear Kappa ?)....and get them to remove two of the stars from their crest....

Ukraine can be proud of making the 1/4 finals on their first time to the dance.

Some nice chances, but Italy crush them in the end.

I want somebody to check out Italy record and tell me the last time a team reach the semi finals without being scored on by other teams (own goals don't count)...

Italy 90, they reached the semi finals and Argentina scored the 1st goal vs them, the latter went on to win the match on penalties after being tied 1-1 after 120 mins of ball......

Italy got to the semi-final of Italia '90 without conceding a goal. They eventually conceded one goal in that semi-final against Argentina in which they lost on penalty kicks.

since then the semi-finalists have been

'94- Brazil, Italy, Bulgaria & Sweden- all of whom conceded at least one goal in the first round

'98- Brazil, Croatia, France & Holland- all of whom conceded at least one goal in the first round

'02- Brazil, Turkey, Germany & Korea- all of whom conceded at least one goal in the first round as well...

That's off the top of my head, correct me if need be......even though I am always right

....hardluck dey, Nachilus beat meh to the punch.....
