offside the game

It's like Filipo Inzaghi never retired.

 

[Afrikan]

man I keep over sleeping on these early games.

[silver.tongue]

Nope, do tell

2x2, Italy won on penalty kicks.

[jamesinclair]

By far the worst red of the cup

 

[Ingeniero]

How is South America Concacaf turf? Do you guys not study geography in Europe?

South America is CONMEBOL.

 

[Sadist]

ruiz is crap they said

Well... For the past six months at PSV he was. He seems fitter now than he ever was in Eindhoven.

Playing in the americas, all that matters.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

That can't be possible since all the stories of those Japanese refs from the opening match included that they didn't speak english.

Link. Since 2006 all refs have to pass a written and spoken English test.

 

[Kraftwerk]

That was a player so shitty that Copenhagen are releasing him this months...

welp

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Come on CRC. Beat Italy.

 

[Juz]

Bravo has signed for Barcelona. He will probably get his minutes as Ter Stegen is rather inexperienced.

Ah okay.

I see it's finalised already, thought it was just a rumor.

 

[Skellig Gra]

South America is CONMEBOL.

Yeah I know. It is irrelevant to the Concacaf is on their own turf argument.

 

[gutter_trash]

Italy knows how to handle Germany and England but then struggle against teams like Slovenia and now Costa-Rica

 

[confuziz]

give 15 points to psv, still useless. bad luck bryan

 

[Suen]

Immobile in pls.

 

[figadapaura]

so are we going to stop mocking concacaf now?

no

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy knows how to handle Germany and England but then struggle against teams like Slovenia and now Costa-Rica

I'll never understand it myself.

 

[Fireblend]

Campbell's gonna score anytime now

 

[kamorra]

Always. I hate it.

everything south of canada is in south america m8

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

It's like Filipo Inzaghi never retired.

Pippo would have scored by now though

 

[Elchele]

so are we going to stop mocking concacaf now?

have you seen Honduras m8?

 

[Lkr]

no

England wouldn't have qualified in CONCACAF

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Campbell's gonna score anytime now

I hope so. 1 goal difference is too stressful.

 

[UrbanRats]

I know I'm tico, but isn't this game very exciting? Aside from the refs of course.

Lol i guess.
I'll say i like CR, so if they win it'd be fine.

I still rage to see Italy play like this.

 

[SkylineRKR]

How is South America Concacaf turf? Do you guys not study geography in Europe?

I was confusing it with Conmebol. I always mix these two up. I'm sure Brazil suits these Central American teams better than some place far away over the Atlantic.

 

[manzoman96]

Immobile in pls.

this needs to happen.

 

[dallow_bg]

I hope so. 1 goal difference is too stressful.

Yes please.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Bring on Gattuso !!

bring back Del Piero

 

[Shoogoo]

Balotelli invisible this half

 

[feel]

CRC play like a top tier NT.

man I keep over sleeping on these early games.

what have I missed...anything funny happen?

Some hilarious score predictions by italy-gaf before the start of the match.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Insignie has added nothing of value since replacing Candreva.

 

[Black Republican]

Always. I hate it.

i guess i understand now lol

 

[Tugatrix]

Italy knows how to handle Germany and England but then struggle against teams like Slovenia and now Costa-Rica

almost like portugal, only really show his strength when win or stay/go home is on the table

 

[K' Dash]

Playing in the americas, all that matters.

CONMEBOL is much more competitive than CONCACAF.

I say that as a Costa Rican.

 

[Blablurn]

Ciao Italia

 

[Good Job Bob]

so are we going to stop mocking concacaf now?

No.

 

[kamorra]

i guess i understand now lol

Told you so.

 

[figadapaura]

England wouldn't have qualified in CONCACAF

I was only joking. I've never actually made fun of them.

You're right about England though.

 

[Tubie]

Oles

ROFL

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

After reading the "Asking where are you from' to an american thread", it's not surprising.

Spoiler

 

[Kandinsky]

Is this match fixed? lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Italy aren't doing so well, huh?

 

[fasTRapid]

That can't be possible since all the stories of those Japanese refs from the opening match included that they didn't speak english.

Maybe they were just hard to understand?

 

[WAR recon zero]

OLEEE OLEEEE

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Loving this Tiki-Tico play.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Immobile in pls.

agree. With so many goals going in this WC, Italy needs to be more aggressive in the attacking 3rd. They can't play this style and expect anything but heartbreak.

 

[kamorra]

Ciao Italia

Would be great for Germany.

 

[Lkr]

I was only joking. I've never actually made fun of them.

You're right about England though.

so am I. partially. honestly not sure if England could win in Azteca or the climate hell the USA would make them play in, let alone all of the latin american climates

 

[TCRS]

wtf are you doing italy..

think of england

;_;
