Thanks for the laughs. Do you ever wonder > why everyone in Europe hates Italian football? No I don't know why. Can you explain it to me? I don't think most hate Italian football. Are you sugegsting Italian football isn;'t creative? LOL Heard of Totti? Pirlo? Cassano? Baggio? Del Piero? etc... > > You think Germans are creative, so you probably don't know the difference. > > > > > Just because they score a lot of gols, doesn't mean they aren't boring. > > Bullshit, the more goals the better. > > If you think so, maybe you should be watching US football, or basketball? >US football is the worst sport ever.

Having had a few talented players over the years doesn't mean they play a creative style of game.

The word speaks for itself, and it does imply that Italy played creative football. When Cassano, Pirlo, Totti or Quagliarella steps out on the field, their plays are creative. |
