Not kids fault, that's what their managers told them. I know Italian, and I heard Italian manager how he said to player, throw it back. He trowed the ball back to Italians half, where the ball stayed for about 10 minutes. The other 'funny' thing is that Russian striker didn't run at all, or when he ran he stopped when he should actually steal the ball.

Still, the players should be mature enough to play fair and seriously :-)

The teams' attitude is already more than enough as far as I see it.

Why would they? It is against fair play and a fraud to the competition.

I'd like that. I'd like to see big punishment, something what could really learn them what's fair play, so something like this wouldn't come to their minds ever again.

Croatians won't do anything in this case, what's not really smart IMO. Not just because of them, but because of football fair-play in general.

2013-05-12 11:49

Yea....really disagree....first time an italian team do this and after what happend at EURO 2006 ( Swe 2-2 DEN) is really sad to see this now

2013-05-11 21:59

I`d kick out both and send the 2 lower teams in , this would give a lesson for the other teams as well

2013-05-11 22:48

Instead of all those "respect" "fair-play" bullshit commercials , uefa should for once make a big fair play move and now ban these 2 teams , 3rd and 4th advance and italy/russia out

The worst thing is that this happens to Croatia, who had beaten Spain and France in qualification stage, who doesn't have any loss in last 34 matches, WHO WAS BETTER THAN ITALY AND RUSSIA, but was really unlucky in finishing. Dear Russians, I see you have short memory, because you were qualified mostly thanks to us to EURO2008, because we've beaten England on Wembley, even though we could even loose and situation would be the same for us. And you Italians, I remember how you were frightened, and 5 FREAKING DAYS BEFORE THE MATCH constantly talked about our draw against Spain on EURO2012 which would make you exit out of tournament, but guess what, we wouldn't do that never, and that's what makes us different. Croatia, more luck next time, fair-play will/must pay-off once, just keep working hard ;). World cup U-18 is yours.
