Yes.. no big stars (besides Buffon who is getting on :P) but that is why they are playing so well. They play as a team and with a lot of heart.

Juve players are obv good but I actually think Giaccherini has had the best tournament.

Yeah rugby league hahaha. Actually Aussies played well in the World Cup. They were in the toughest group.

Giaccherini is a Conte's disciple

I don't know a country that brought as many football legends as Italy

And they were very often saved by the penalties

Like in the Fifa Wold Cup's (2006) final with France

Or in Euro 2000 with Holland, when charming Toldo defended his goal 2-3 times and showed what master can a goalkeeper be :P

Like Brazil in 1994

Or France by a "golden goal" made by David Trezeguet in Euro 2000

Look at the list of players above. You will see only a letter: J!

Edit. I forgot one of the most understimated player in history: Darko Kovacevic!

**pokeraussie** · 29 June 2016, 7:00 pm

You remind me of my Juve friend and his love affair with Conte

NOOO, 2006 final France should have won... But Materazzi had done his black work against Zizou ( my best player forever).
What about legends.. maybe Holland - van Basten, Van Der Sar, de Boer, Koku, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Weah,

This is the problem with Australian football. The best talent always chases the money overseas. Australia doesn't have the luxury of having a strong local league.

"Beginning his career with his birth-town club FK Radnički Kovin, but was soon spotted by Zrenjanin based Serbian top league club FK Proleter" - oh that's a football team from my hometown Zrenjanin. Now I'm so proud!

**FruityJelena** · 30 June 2016, 5:04 pm

First guess checked!

Congrats to Portugal, pity I didn't make any ticket and bet!

Hahah. Nope, we suck. Clearly.

Exactly. It's gaining momentum but most people here support league. Noone cares about the A-league much. If I was them I'd chase the money too.

I bet on Portugal to win, but because it was via penalty goals I lost my bet.

What? I didn't know that bookies don't count winning on penalties as a winning ticket. That's not fair!

**Magic-Johnson** · 3 July 2016, 3:39 pm

What do you think about germany- France in semifinal? I've done bet on France winning title .. but i begin to think that i've done the big mistake ( but Germany wasn't so amazing against Italy)

I agree. So I lost all 4 of my bets, 2 of them because I tipped the wrong team and 2 because they won in overtime. I'm quitting while I'm ahead.

At least I won money on the horses on the weekend.

I actually hope Wales wins now. Just to **** everyone up.
