Give the Uruguayan a foul for diving. Also looks like the guy tried to hit Balo's knee with his head.

@Salsa, Italy have no reason to even be attacking as much as they are. The onus is on Uruguay to win this game, and they're doing fuck all to achieve that.

It's not like Uruguay deserves to pass. At least Italy is doing what they're supposed to, Uruguay on the other hand should be desperate for a goal and they're just reciprocating the fauls.

im not saying we're doing anything great, we need to react for a while now

I want someone by the ref every time an italy player stays in the ground for minutes

I never said that. It was a comparison between Pirlo and Zlatan. There at least 5-10 other guys like Zlatan out there right now. Pirlo is in a class of his own at his position.

5-10 guys like Zlatan? Right now?

I'd be impressed if you could name 5-10 strikers that are over 6'4 with his combination of touch, power, vision and creativity in the entire history of the game.

All the major manufacturers try to outdo each other with more outrageous colours and designs and the players don't seem to have any taste so they lap it up.

Fluoro yellow, fluro orange and blue/pink. That's the choice.

I have this idea that i might have something to do with being more visible at the field. Maybe it's a good idea to give defenders, midfielders and forwarders different bright colors of shoes. If you want to be seen neon colors are the best way. Then again maybe it's poor taste, but with players like that you would argue they have people around them advising and guiding them on what to wear and what not. Like about everything else they do, from taxes to food.
 
There really is no better team in the world than Italy when playing for a draw. They are masters of just passing the ball around aimlessly and taking a few extra seconds to do EVERYTHING.

This is not a criticism. They need a draw to advance, and at least they don't just park the bus and pray.
 
Please, someone has to shoot Balotelli in the leg.. he's useless, he can't control one single ball nor dribble a damn pin.
He's not ready for a WC.

Would you say you're embarrassing? Or do you just reserve that for the team actually controlling the ball and attacking?

I reserve that for actors. I get the stalling game but have some dignity.

It's ok cause they're either changing that this half or the ref is gonna catch up.

again: it's on us, we need to play better, but im calling it like I see it.
 
Italian football did not get to 4 World Cup wins, by being stupid and not playing for the result.

I am sure Angerland would have been going gung-ho attack and gas out after 10 min, despite only needing a draw, but this is Italy, they play football that benefits them the most.

They dont give a shit that you dont like them, they got trophies in that cabinet that do. While the English WC trophy has disintegrated into thin air, and German one was won when the Berlin wall was still relevant.


Haters!

Go Italy!
 
Subbing Balo was the right call but I don't think it had anything to do with the yellow card or the obvious red that was coming.

Dude didn't look 100% out there. Looked like he banged his knee early or something. The fact he was sitting on a yellow made it really easy to sub him out though.
