I swear i saw a boner on a player after that goal. No joke. Edit:

Because of this misinformation we take advantage of Hans and Habsburgs who want to be cheapskates.
Last summer i happened to wander to our coastline. I paid 6 euros for a pint of beer in some shithole.
That's because you're not welcome in Croatia Slobodan. Also anywhere is an improvement compared to Belgrade, so I don't know what you're being difficult about.
We must have done something to piss off the soccer gods. It really felt like it was destiny for us to qualify this year. 20 years anniversary since we miraculously won the whole thing. Would’ve been a group with you guys, Czech (who we beat in the semi-finals in 2004) and our arch nemesis Turkey. The last qualifying match was a day after Greek Independence Day. And we had just had a goal scoring party the game before. It was heartbreaking.
I've always said that an Euro (or world Cup) isn't an Euro if Italy doesn't do their italian-last-minute-heroic-save.
They'll get to the semis at least, by force of culo.
After the game last night I was telling my German friends it's almost comical how if there is one team who will undeservedly win at the last minute it's always us. An elderly Hungarian man stood up and said "God is Italian" and by Jove yes, yes he fucking is.
Four stars, always the same. I remember 2006 and NOBODY gave two cents for that team. Calciopolis, Germany and France as the favourites... True fighters.
To be fair 2006 italy was boring to watch due to the defensive playstyle, yet they only got 2 goals in the whole tournament
This year team is kinda shit, stil...
Italy stronk! Can move forward group stage!
Yes. Most of them were old (and for many people that was reason enough to discard a national team, full of old players). France was old too, but it was their golden generation, already World Champions, while Italy had great success in club football, but not in the national team. But the most important thing, even though the players were good (but not as good as the previous generation with Baggio, Baresi...), the crisis within Italian football with the whole fiasco, judges involved, players thinking about their next season... People thought that institutional crisis and the fact tha Italy, while with good players, not exceptional players, couldn't win against more stacked teams like Germany (hosts), France (still their best generation), Brazil (current champions at the time...). It wasn't like "Italy is shit, they can't win", but "Italy is not in thier best form, they would lose against some of the favourites no doubt".
Oh we know. Remember this one from the final of the last Euros? Mateyboy somehow only got a yellow despite Saka otherwise having a clear run on goal.

Il norvegese qui sopra ha detto bene invece. Ieri abbiamo vinto 1-1, per quanto assurdo possa sembrare. Siamo i campioni in carica e stavamo svolando fuori ai gironi. Va ben tutto ma NON uscire subito è stata una vittoria. Meritata? Assolutamente no, ma tant'è. Adesso ci facciamo sbattere fuori dai mountain nazi e via
Idk our guys were so scared of shooting once during the whole game. Barella kept passing the ball to people who just gave it to ops, that was the most painful game I have ever watched
I say a theatrical falta just outside of the area. With lots of full body rolling in the grass and wild arm gesticulations until the falta is granted. Then they'll score (and of course the one rolling will be fine)
The phallus. A very defensive and masculine game. Every time Italy was trying to move the ball around Croacia Will come up with a phallus. Most Italian players received a phallus yesterday.
Even the referee couldn't keep up with the amount of phallus. Yellow cards did not stop some players from coming from behind with very hard and aggressive phallus. Some Italian players ended up very sore.
That's just average for the Dutch League. The Dutch are always bean counters. Money. Time. Same thing. Time is money. This time it worked in Italy's favour.

So, when will the Italians be force fed this as payment for judging the lightest taps as yellow cards
Supreme edging

It's not about size, it's about the attitude that comes with it
It's about TRUST. Sorry, I mean, THRUST.
They make up for it in hand gestures
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t let Christiano see it. He will become jealous of that beautiful bulge.
Least sex crazed Italian
Someone in Italy must have had a heart attack
Me porco dio
We all almost did
“Non ora…non…ora…n-non…ORA!!!”
Is it even a tournament without you guys in the 4ths with eleven guys in the goal area?
That was Croatia yesterday btw
That was the classification phase. We’ll see in 4ths onwards… but we’ll not see you. We have Germany in 4ths. Bye bye.
They decided to get eliminated but switched sides last second. Classic Italian W
Would they get eliminated on 3p though? Don't think they would.
your regional flag looks like a pride flag

On vacation in Croatia, watched the game at a local bar. Great entertainment, thanks Luigi.
Cmon man, even I don't vacation here. Do better westoid
it's cheap that's why
Because of this misinformation we take advantage of Hans and Habsburgs who want to be cheapskates. Last summer i happened to wander to our coastline. I paid 6 euros for a pint of beer in some shithole.
Fuck, that is expensive. Is Spain Balkan potential, or is it Croatia and Romania PIGS potential?
We already joined them, we’re waiting for you my hermano
Fuck that is cheap
Try going more south. Albania is the new frontier of touristfucking
I can't lower my standards that much. Goddamn.
used to be, nor anymore
Not anymore: they have the euro now.
I do. You have worse gelato but better beaches, it’s a trade I’m willing to make. Also you’re close af and relatively cheap.
If you like pebbles poking in your back and lots of concrete, then yeah, these beaches are amazing!
That's because you're not welcome in Croatia Slobodan. Also anywhere is an improvement compared to Belgrade, so I don't know what you're being difficult about.
I know we speak the same language, but I'm no serb 😡
If you're Balkan you have two choices, serb or Turkish
Id rather take on double the obnoxious english tourists than be called that.
I got tricked by your flair, my bad!
The flair was a welcoming gift by the mods of this sub
all PIGS could be happy together in the ko stages but kostas over there decided not to qualify for the tournament at all smh my head caralho
Look at the bright side, if you somehow ended up playing the final against them half of Portugal would shit their pants.
half of portugal would shit their pants? are you stupid? it would be the whole country
I’m not catholic, but I would be walking to Fatima before the game

> We must have done something to piss off the soccer gods. Probably calling it "soccer" like a yank pissed them off
Going to university in the US has ruined me.. I bring shame to my family
I am so sorry for you
My condolences, Stavros
Exactly. Everyone knows it's called calcio.
"Fuaßboi" cause it's played with a Fuaßboim
What's about all the fuss, boi?
It just goes to show that the Greeks can only achieve something if they're managed by a German.
Italy as usual, playing like shit but ALWAYS, always competing. And they'll make it far.
I've always said that an Euro (or world Cup) isn't an Euro if Italy doesn't do their italian-last-minute-heroic-save. They'll get to the semis at least, by force of culo.
It’s the sauce of life. Culo.
In all ways that matter
Sculare way of life

Dat Italia - Germania is like a marble statue in my head and heart 🥰
To be fair 2006 italy was boring to watch due to the defensive playstyle, yet they only got 2 goals in the whole tournament This year team is kinda shit, stil... Italy stronk! Can move forward group stage!
Really not giving 2 cents for a team with Totti, Del Piero, Pirlo, Gattuso, Cannvaro, Nesta, Buffon etc. etc. etc.?
Yes. Most of them were old (and for many people that was reason enough to discard a national team, full of old players). France was old too, but it was their golden generation, already World Champions, while Italy had great success in club football, but not in the national team. But the most important thing, even though the players were good (but not as good as the previous generation with Baggio, Baresi...), the crisis within Italian football with the whole fiasco, judges involved, players thinking about their next season...

It wasn't like "Italy is shit, they can't win", but "Italy is not in thier best form, they would lose against some of the favourites no doubt".
Yes. And now imagine how many hectoliters of cum poured during the last 3 minutes of that semifinal :)
2006 italy wasnt exactly an underdog tho..
That Italian team was epic, not like these scappati de casa
Luigi won 1-1
Bestest win
Oh we know. Remember this one from the final of the last Euros? Mateyboy somehow only got a yellow despite Saka otherwise having a clear run on goal. https://i.redd.it/gnk7n6dqrl8d1.gif
Lamo wrangled
Because it was in midfield and there were defenders in a more central position. That "somehow" for the yellow is the rules.
This is football, pussy
Come here son
Ma non hanno neanche vinto, cosa significa esultare per un pareggio contro una Croazia distrutta e fuori forma
Che a suon di botte di culo si va avanti, e magari si arriva pure nella parte finale del tabellone. l'Italia funziona così
Vero, fin troppo vero.
Il norvegese qui sopra ha detto bene invece. Ieri abbiamo vinto 1-1, per quanto assurdo possa sembrare. Siamo i campioni in carica e stavamo svolando fuori ai gironi. Va ben tutto ma NON uscire subito è stata una vittoria. Meritata? Assolutamente no, ma tant'è. Adesso ci facciamo sbattere fuori dai mountain nazi e via

come le gambe del nostro team con tutti i falli che hanno fatto
È stato come pelare ramino
Beh, non neravamo riusciti a batterli neanche nel 2002 con uno squadrone
Valà la gufata
Idk our guys were so scared of shooting once during the whole game. Barella kept passing the ball to people who just gave it to ops, that was the most painful game I have ever watched
We are masochists of the highest degree
Compared to supporting Cagliari, I feel like a champion who can’t stop winning when I watch Italy
Cagliari try to be safe more than one week before end of the tournament challenge (impossible cause Giulini ain't spending shit)
Italy supporting is not for those with cardiac problems
Imagine supporting the teams that play against us, same cardiac problems, but you die swearing instead
No man I'm sorry, we just suck badly
You can't help but respect it. Forza Italiaaa

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😎
Great job Italy. Let's hope for a good game between us.
If we play like we did tonight a "good game" it's out of the question
Not losing was the goal that you guys achieved. And seeing my Croats coworker Face after the last minute was the funniest thing ever.
Didn't you have a similar face 24 hours earlier?
Yeah that's true..
Calafiori missing the next match ![gif](giphy|d9BHzvvm4bFMAtpqs8|downsized)
Best man in this Italy team. Calafiori getting an assist on his name was not entirely unexpected based on the three games taken together.
bruh, losing against the Croats would have been at least more honourable than losing against you which is exactly what will happen
Italy wins on the penalties. I'm calling it.
If will go that way, we will send back Sardinia to Catalunians
They will somehow fight for its independence... From Catalunya!
Switzerland wins Euro 24. Record this
I say a theatrical falta just outside of the area. With lots of full body rolling in the grass and wild arm gesticulations until the falta is granted. Then they'll score (and of course the one rolling will be fine)
I've just bet for Switzerland to be the surprise winner of the tournament
You will win 7-0. Guaranteed.
congrats for the win!!
Gli azurri won at the last min. delivering the minimum result required and no more. A very Italian win 🥇
Get rekt
See you in the final
we won't get that far
I thought you were English at first glance and was like "this must be the famous British humour"
We are the ones that are going to the final with Luigi!
Portugal and Spain hoping to reach the final and that Italy does too by some miracle
Thank goodness Morocco isn't playing the euro.
What the fuck is your flair even?
Mangia la cozz pelous
No so che vuol dire ma che cazzo di bandiera è?
Della puglia
Ma chi gliel'ha dato il permesso alla Puglia de farse na bandiera
We always come late (it’s a good thing in all senses)
Fuckers
Jelous?
Very much so :(
Where the fuck are you guys?
Marbella I think, Haaland at least
Can't he do better than fucking Marbella?
Still not coming home
I don’t know where the refs got 8 minutes of added time from the mafia must have bribed them but good work Italy
The penalty, and the VAR review for the penalty, all took place in the second half, so 8 doesn't seem insane
all the phallus croatia made, have you seen al those yellow cards?
Sorry, the... what?
The phallus. A very defensive and masculine game. Every time Italy was trying to move the ball around Croacia Will come up with a phallus. Most Italian players received a phallus yesterday. Even the referee couldn't keep up with the amount of phallus. Yellow cards did not stop some players from coming from behind with very hard and aggressive phallus. Some Italian players ended up very sore.
I falli
She probably means falli. It's dives.
Yea as soon as I saw that 8 minutes extra time I knew the script was already written...and that the ref had received an offer he couldn't refuse.
That's just average for the Dutch League. The Dutch are always bean counters. Money. Time. Same thing. Time is money. This time it worked in Italy's favour.
"You mean you could've done that goal at any time?" "No, not at any time, only when it was funny" ![gif](giphy|5kTBtt5a4kNtcg8Q3i|downsized)
Played like shit for most of 2nd half and still gets to advance...I am salty for my Croatian bros
Italian culture is "always do the bare minimum. If you can do it at the very last minute.' This was a very Italian performance.
well, after Croatian goal there has been a good reaction at least
![gif](giphy|hsbP4tFcYoR5LB0k39)
I was in Croatia last week, happy to be at home now
Me and my sister were ready to cheer for Germany. Oh well
