It still wasn't a tight game. Italy were thoroughly defeated by the time they lost Motta.


For someone who bleats on about what deep insights from a stellar playing career you need to perform pre match analysis of note, you didn't half come out with hackneyed pundit cliches did you, all you left out was 'at the end of the day'!

Can I just chip in here with YOU CAN NOT ANALYSE SOMETHING THAT IS YET TO HAPPEN!!!!!


You can analyse your opinent's recent form and tacticts, and try to plan around how you think they will play. Pundits can "preview" a match, but you can't bloody well analyse it, because IT IS IN THE FUTURE!!!!


Sorry, just been trying not to have that rant since yesterday, but I'm a broken man now.

From a footballing point of view I was disappointed that it wasn't a tight game. I knew Spain was going to win within the first two minutes of watching the game. They just looked that much sharper and Italy looked a bit tired and probably carrying injuries.

From your limited view of the game, I'd imagine whatever I say is not going to make sense to you. But as I like talking about things such as tactics, quality of players and playing surfaces, then all of these are used for pre-match analysis. Am I wrong just because you don't understand the game? Perhaps I'm wrong because I don't understand don't know any better logic?

No, you're just wrong because you can't analyse something that doesn't yet exist.


And because you said it would be a tight match. Now there is no shame in that, it doesn't actually matter one little bit in the great scheme of things. People just find it funny that you can't hold your hands up.

I have to say, that I thought it would be a lot tighter than it was, given Italy's 2 previous performances, but I don't know any better.


What is astounding, is that after talking about things such as tactics, quality of players and playing surfaces, UDT still didn't know any better. What a pointless exercise, being as 2 minutes in you knew it had all been for nought.

Posession wise Italy did much better against Spain than other teams, posession was quoted as 50:50 with not much of the game to go.


On this occaision Spain took their chances very well. Italy generally shooting from distance.


It was good to watch, probably the first international final for some time that did not disappoint.

Perhaps in don't any better logic terms but definitely not in football terms. Anyway Bob, how long do think you can keep your tirade before you give up? I think five years.

There's a significant volume of evidence that the predictions of experts are far less reliable than either statistical modelling or the collective views of apparently less well-informed groups of non-experts. (Anybody who listened to Mark Lawrenson's "expert" contributions to the BBC commentary on the final will have acquired their own little bit of empirical evidence to support this conclusion.) So there is a proper scientific basis for pointing out that UDT is indeed behaving like a tit, which is heartening.

Bizarre logic indeed.


Otta could believe he was an ewok and that the world is made of oompah loompahs (and I know for a FACT that he DOES believe the former!).

It has no bearing on whether your prediction was right or wrong UDT.


Which was it again? Go on, just say it this once....

I would now like to nominate myself as the leading football expert on this thread. Well, after *Bob* that is. Having done a detailed pre match analysis yesterday not only did I predict who would score the first goal, I got paid for it. That makes me a professional I reckon. Was anyone else able to go into such fine detail while pre analysing the game? Bet not.

All of this can often go out the window too. For instance Tottenham Hotspur three-nil up at half-time at home to Man Utd and still lose 5-3. Or more recently Tottenham 12pts clear of the Arse, unbeaten in ages and two-nil up at the Effemanites last season and losing 5-2. As Jimmy Greaves once said - "It's a funny old game".

      That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion”

      I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.

      What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way

      I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate?
