Forum Derby - Italy vs. Germany this Wednesday

[minionofmidas]

Aw, friendlies don't count. (Though it's a good thing to have a meaningless friendly at this kind of unfortunateish date at least be against an opponent people care about. Cause when they aren't, they tend to be dreadful games and end 1-1 or 0-1.)

The record of competitive German-Italian games is seriously hilarious, though. (I think there's an exception somewhere, but as a rule they're draws, and then when the rules call for a winner to be determined, Italy wins on overtime.)

Old footballers are overrated, Phil. I don't give a damn about Ballack. It would be an exaggeration to say I don't give a damn about the national team, but it isn't my team -  That's Eintracht - and in their matches I tend to care far more about a good game and about guessing right about what's going to happen than about who wins. As you should be aware by now.

Still can't beat us!

We don't beat women and Italians. It's called "chivalry".

I was really referencing this post, though it might have helped if I had looked up the original wording.

I think this is more Keystone Phil vs. Everyone.
