Italy is the reason I hated football 4 years ago and it is the reason I liked it back! I’m a big fan of Italy, I like Argentina as well, but the problem with Italy is the defensive strategy (Katanatcho) they apply in all games, Italian defense players and goalkeepers are very good, maybe the best in the world but this is not enough you have to strike to survive.
What made me hate football is when Italy lost the game against South Korea in World Cup 2002, that game was exactly the same as the final game of Euro 2000 against France, Italy scored, lost many opportunities and played defense, in both games the other team kept striking and striking, but how long you can survive, Italy lost both games, and I lost interest in football.
But it seems Italy finally learned the lesson, yesterday in the game against Germany they attacked like never before, even after the first goal they didn’t retreat they attacked and scored again, 2 amazing goals eliminated the “Muncha”.
This world cup is getting better and better, specially after the elimination of Brazil, Zeidan made my day for the second time after 1998 victory, he is an amazing player, he is my third all-time favored player after the Argentinian Diego Maradona and the Italian Roberto Baggio, the Arab-French Zain AlDien Zeidan is the best in the world now.
What I hate about football is the mistakes committed by referees, one mistake can destroy the dreams of a whole nation, it can kill the efforts done by 22 players, coach and a whole training crew, football is a very old sport but yet the FIFA is not able to solve this issue, in basketball you have referees outside the filed, they can stop the match they can reconsider decisions, in tennis there is a main referee and about 10 around the filed watching, decisions sometimes are being revised, and even a mistake happens it is one point among tens of points, one goal in football sometime is everything, FIFA should do something to solve this.
Forza Azzurri!
