ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I you remember take a look in your local paper before Lent , many church groups have special Paczki sales. Paczki still made by old country people or at least from their recipes. 718075[/snapback] That's a good idea....I may even try and get the recipe from my family, even though I'd probably totally botch it up....those things were damn good!

ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 You know, now that I think about it, have you guys really played a team that was anywhere near the caliber of Germany on offense? Ghana had a good WC, but they weren't lighting it up. The Czechs had a pretty solid game against us, but then played like crap....and that Kollar guy wasn't around when you played them. We played you to a draw (sort of), but we had a crap WC. The Aussies did well, but they didn't strike me as an offensive powerhouse. I dunno, it's not Italy's fault that they haven't had a tougher draw, cause they've beaten the teams they're supposed to beat.....but it's not going to surprise me if Germany puts a few in the back of the net......

They didn't score a goal. Finished in penalties with Argentina winning. In 1994, Brazil... same sh--, light em up attack with Romario and Bebeto. Same result as in 90. In 1998, France... high powered offence with Zidane... didn't score a goal. It's in the tradition. If you think Germany will be able to play as openly as they did vs other teams including Argentina (that has a sh-- def IMHO), you are highly mistaken. This game will be tight and tactical. Catenaccio is in the blood of the Italians. The rest of the world hates it and tbh, if I wasn't Italian, i would hate it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Wow....what a friggin game....as much as I've enjoyed this WC, thats' the first match where I did not leave my seat. What a beautiful goal by Italy to avoid the penalty kicks.....great job by them. Hell, their second goal was a thing of beauty, too, but the game winner was absolutely perfect. I give Germany a lot of credit, though, cause they were running to the ball all damn match. They played for the win in regulation, playing an aggressive, attacking game, which pretty much meant that if they didn't get the job done in the first 90 then they'd be in trouble in OT. The Germans have nothing to be ashamed of; they had a great tourney. Congrats to Italy.....I think you have to say they are the favorites to take home the cup now.

The referees took themselves out of the equation today, and they should be applauded for that. The game was VERY physical, but the refs called it very fairly. There was no controversy to this match whatsoever.....it was a battle of two great teams, and the match was decided in a dramatic fashion by one of the best goals of the tourney. Tomorrow can't get here fast enough....France is playing very well the past two games, and Portugal is poised to give them a run. I think both teams will be at just about full strength, so I expect a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
