Llorente is missing.

 

[rodvik]

Best players so far have been Iniesta, Busquets, De Rossi and Pirlo.

+Cassano big man.

 

[ektoll]

I'm a Die Hard tifosi so watching Italy play like this, with engagment, fighting for every ball, classy moves, vista... it's ... it's beautiful!


But I must admit that everytime Iniesta come close of our goal, I get very nervous.



It was a very good first-half.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Best players so far have been Iniesta, Busquets, De Rossi and Pirlo.

And Motta. I thought he's played well.

 

[Scum]

Fab off, Llorente on.

 

[rinse82]

Balotelli is the Ron Artest of football.

Haha i said this exact thing when trying to explain him to mmy wife

 

[Yurt]

And Motta. I thought he's played well.

Shush.

 

[painey]

Spain playing like Arsenal. Trying to pass the ball in

 

[yellow submarine]

LOL, the presenter was like "The great American export in Gdansk, the Wave".

I was like.. "don't you mean the MEXICAN wave?" lolz

 

[luxstellarum]

Need a gif of Balotelli's scorpion touch, stat!

Gif-Gaf ASSEMBLE!

 

[Clegg]

Fabregas hasn't played that well sice February imo. He started the season brilliantly but his form has tapered off since the club world cup.

Silva has been pretty disappointing too.

 

[Randdalf]

Platini's Mexican wave haha

 

[Korez]

Shush.

Motta is useless.

Principino today is god <3

 

[Phantast2k]

Goddammit, I should've put money on Ballotelli getting booked

 

[squicken]

Why don't they do highlights in-game? I'm in no way pining for the way they do it with US sports, but I'd love to see a slow motion replay of what #9 did. That was amazing

 

[Judderman]

Looks like Russia is facing sanctions for their fans actions Friday. Take away WC 2018 I say!

 

[ErasureAcer]

Russian fans beat up security at stadium? Guess they need to get that "Respect" emblem in the Russian language.

 

[Inversive]

Spain need one of the Fernandos on. Pref Llorente.

 

[Korez]

Balotelli vs. Earth

 

[Firemind]

Bring in Llorente.

 

[MMaRsu]

How about where he kept the ball in with his scorpion touch?

 

[Mr Cola]

apparently Motta is the only player to not misplace a pass in the first half, impressive

 

[rodvik]

+racist chants at the black player during the game.

 

[TeegsD]

Balotelli vs. Earth

He pushed the earth ever so slightly

 

[Oxx]

Mario auditioning to replace Snooki on Jersey Shore.

 

[yellow submarine]

Balotelli vs. Earth

Should have been a penalty, he was justified for that. He's usually a dumbass, but this time he was actually right to be frustrated.

 

[Zabojnik]

Marchisio focused on pressing and containing today. I'd like to see him push forward in the second half, but that probably wouldn't bode well for Italy's midfield stability.

 

[ErasureAcer]

+racist chants at the black player during the game.

Yeah. Pretty ridiculous. Just figured that's the norm for Eastern Europe as it happened earlier with the Dutch players in Poland or was it Ukraine?

 

[santi_yo]

Spain needs strikers.

EDIT: wow, Llorente, I love him!

I liked the guy getting crocop'd out of nowhere

And good change for Spain

 

[RJT]

Balotelli has huge Anger Management issues. But that scorpion touch was divine. Still waiting for the gif...

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Spain need to bring on a front man

 

[Yurt]

Giaccherini and Pirlo ran the most KMs in the first half.

What? Haha!

 

[SunhiLegend]

How about where he kept the ball in with his scorpion touch?

Sorry, missed it. Was switching between this and The French Open at the time.

 

[defel]

Adrian Chiles must regret being born as an Englishman.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Bring on the Torres!

Oh wait, lol

 

[Wilbur]

Take off Fabregas, he's been rubbish.

And if Silva doesn't pick up his performance then take him off too. Iniesta has been very good though.

Busquets is just a magnificent player. Easily the best DM in the world.

Italy have been the better team.

Agreed. Busquets is criminally underrated by those who only watch Champions League or don't watch Barca regularly. He's absolutely phenomenal.

As you guys say, Casillas, Motta, Cassano have been good. As has Maggio

Mexico is part of the American continent.

 

[ReConstructDead]

What?
Wasn't a penalty at all.
Pretty sure he was just annoyed at himself for not getting to the ball first...
And of course he's also just being his usual over-stimulated self

 

[Coldnoodle]

Torres stretching! YES!

 

[ColossalLazy]

Nice shot by Spain.

 

[Scum]

He took a shot?!

 

[criesofthepast]

Gigi god

 

[Brinbe]

Buffon-Casillas are gonna be hard to beat

 

[Moments hunter]

great save!

 

[Socreges]

Fabregas took a shot!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Fabregas would have to do better to test Buffon from there.

 

[Awesome Animals]

UEFA just charged Germany for the debris their fans were tossing onto the pitch yesterday during the Portugal match.

 

[John Dunbar]

did i see that right, does buffon have a popped collar?
