no worries, pique is on the way..tall and tough one..

congratulation to the spain squad..
since they going to the quarterfinal of UERO 2008..
hopefully they can continue their success until become a Champion of UERO 2008

i hope this time spain wont be crash out from the tournament...it time to break the duck to the final..

so far all group champs out , i hope spain can win tonite

he lacks pace though.. and need to improve his header.. taller than vidic but not as dominant in the air

we need to be balance...attacking and defending...coz all team where out in the quater-final is attacking style team..(include us). so im a bit worries about that..hope Aragonés spot that.

After the results of the recent quarterfinals I'm getting abit more worried for Spain. I really hope that the players turn up on the day.

yes, thats true..all the group champs were knocked out..
hope SPAIN will not join them...

hoping that puyol and ramos can manage to keep the ball out from coming into the penalty box.

i cant agree more..this is what i expect the spanish team to do tonite..

player that have to be watched out: toni, perrotta, daniele de rossi

maybe spain can be the only group champion that survive? i dunno, but when even spain citizens think italy can beat them, it is not a good sign. oh well, we shall know in 12 hours time

toni is our biggest threat.. not forgotten Pirlo. his free kick is danger.. Spain can make some opportunity if they can use villa as a bait and torres will have some space i think to make goal since villa is no.1 Spain striker at the moment. we have a 2 striker great striker at the front line.

Pirlo is suspended so that should help us. With Villa and Torres upfront we should be able to score.

it's a good news for us. i think great run from right and left side of the field may help.

Man waiting for this match gives me butt crack

Do we have a lineup yet?

so far i think Aragones will stay with the same line-up like first two match while Italy should be like this

-------------------------Buffon--------------------------
---Zambrotta----Panucci----Chiellini----Grosso------
Camoranesi-Ambrosini-Cassano-De Rossi-Perrotta
--------------------------Toni ---------------------------

If we can keep it tight the back against the Italians we should stand a chance of progressing through to the semis. More so if Torres and Villa keep up their goal scoring ability the Spanish should come out triumph in this clash. However over the years, the Italian usually come strong at this stage as clearly evident in the last 3 nights where the under dog were successful to the semi final. Span shouldn't under estimate the threat from the Italian and history doesn't favor them either as the Spanish have not beaten the Italian in major competition over 30 years apart from the Olympic. Perhaps this year could be the different. I'll keep my finger cross that the Spanish will come out triumph in this clash.

im afraid the game will goes to penalty shoot-out.

italy without pirlo like a car without petrol

my prediction : 1-1 and in ex villa scrape it

hahaha...hope so!!! but i think to be safe we need a 90 minutes victory!!!
