G_B_ Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Congrats Italy!! the best team of the tournament won England barring the first 15 min simply did not make any attempt to win the game. Italy had 66% pocession which became 78% second half onwards. You play like cowards karma catches up with you. Southgate lost this game with his substitutions (or lack thereof) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariyam Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yay I'm so happy for Italy; my new wannabe home country. This should also be a shot in the arm for the Congress. I'm so happy for the first among equals RaGa and SoGa that their team won. Once again the Congress I (Italy) has defeated the colonialists.

Surely I must have made a mistake. Surely a country with such a pedigree of athleticism cannot not win *any* competition in a game they invented.

Bit like how ICF was after CT finals or WC semi 2019 You were never in the game. Italy was the better team. CT was different. The better team did not win.

coffee_rules Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 In a high stakes game of Mafia vs Colonialists, Big Mafia triumphed. A lot of ICFers are being Romans in Rome celebrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And had to steal it away from New Zealand by inventing archaic rules. Imagine settling a football match by saying if goals are tied after extra time, then a team which scored through more set pieces wins. Or a tennis match, where it's tied at 6-6 all 5th set, and instead of a tiebreaker, they say the player who had the most aces wins. Such was the outcome of the 2019 CWC. No wonder why Cricket is a dying sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder why Cricket is a dying sport. Its not just the cricket wc though? England won the wc in t20 as well in 2012. They are also former rugby wc champions. Apart from football is italy active in any major sport of any kind? Its all very well saying England not won anything for 55 years. But England are in with a shout in football cricket and rugby. These three represent thr closest thing to global sports. No other sporting entity can say the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
