Not bad.

 

[LProtag]

That scared the shit out of me.

 

[Korez]

Pirlo vs. Croatia 1-1

 

[ColossalLazy]

Wow Buffon don scare me like that.

Great game. Loved the result.

 

[ektoll]

It's over, damn, Italia, why can't you hold all these goals?

 

[criesofthepast]

Well. That's the tournament for Italy. Had your chances. Probably played the best first half of the tournament (twice) and still not going to make it through.

 

[Frank the Great]

is it really a surprise that italjuve keeps drawing?

happy to see italy go out to some shitty chiellini defending. overrated player.

 

[MMaRsu]

Would it be interesting to watch the Spain - Ireland match? We all know itll be a slaughter

 

[Sveitadurgur]

Pirlo vs. Madzukic 1-1

Ftfy.

 

[Verano]

italian stallion stalled at a tie.

 

[Envelope]

And Croatia remain undefeated by Italy for 70 years!

 

[Sickboy007]

COME ON IRELAND!!!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Hope Mandzukic isn't hurt.

He's been their best player along with Rakitic.

 

[Divius]

First half belonged to Italy, second to Croatia. I guess the draw is well deserved. Was really hoping for Italy to win though.

 

[Fry]

Well. That's the tournament for Italy.

So, you're saying Spain can't beat Croatia and Italy can't beat Ireland?

 

[Funky Papa]

COME ON IRELAND!!!

Watch your mouth.

 

[Banjoman]

usual Italy. born to suffer to the end.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Well. That's the tournament for Italy. Had your chances. Probably played the best first half of the tournament (twice) and still not going to make it through.

You think Spain won't beat Croatia?

 

[electristan]

Go on Croatia

girlfriend says that football is broken though and really needs a patch, the players keep falling down for no reason, it could be a Bethesda game.

 

[Clydefrog]

good job, croatia!

spain, please continue your dominance

Bitterness even during an international competition. Love it. :lol

 

[Shoogoo]

Too bad for Italy. Even if they fell flat on 2nd half, I really like them more than Divaly from past years.

Why did they step back after 1st goal though? I'm not sure it was only because of Croatia's pressure. It seems it was a tactic or something, bad call from the coach.

 

[K1LLER7]

Would it be interesting to watch the Spain - Ireland match? We all know itll be a slaughter

Will be interesting to see if Torres can score

Switzerland managed to best Spain in the last wc, nothing is impossible

 

[Kjellson]

Howard Webb looks like Brian Eno.

 

[Carbonox]

Ireland with an upset would be cool but unlikely. Still, Spain and Italy going through to the quarters is a likely prospect given the final round of matches.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Nvm.

Depends on the circumstances. If a draw is what both croatia and Spain need to make it through. We may see a boring 0-0 match to keep Italy out. We will see what happens after this Spain/Ireland match and what the group looks like with goal differential and everything. I jus hate relying on other teams to make it through, because it never ends up going in Italy's favor.

 

[Frank the Great]

next game, abate should start instead of maggio and balzaretti should start instead of giacherrini.

 

[Funky Papa]

Torres, oh Torres, you beautiful boy. You know I didn't mean anything I've said this tournament.

 

[hylje]

Ita - Cro 1-1 & Esp - Irl 2-0.

One down. one to go.

If they have to rely on other teams they only have themselves to blame. See: this match.

Spain won't play for a draw. That would be incredibly risky.

 

[K1LLER7]

Torres is shit

(and now he'll score)

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Will be rooting for Ireland.

Hope they get a draw.

 

[rawd]

I have a gut feeling ROI will upset, or maybe I have to poo

 

[Diablos54]

Torres starting? Ireland can win! I BELIEVE!! Lol not really.

 

[MMaRsu]

Switzerland managed to best Spain in the last wc, nothing is impossible

Yeah.... opening match

 

[Error]

I hope Torres scores fuck all.

 

[ColossalLazy]

We can all be sure that Torres will entertain us all.

 

[NH Apache]

Nope, it'll be an upset and the 2-1 final score will be glorious.

 

[joeygreco1985]

Fuck. Gotta beat Ireland handily now

 

[Yurt]

Balotelli is not starter material.

MontLOLivo as always, a waste of space and a sub.

Cassano can't play for 90 minutes, why the hell did they keep him on for 82 minutes?

Trapattoni I'm sorry baby, but we've gotta win now

is it really a surprise that italjuve keeps drawing?

happy to see italy go out to some shitty chiellini defending. overrated player.

Quoted so more people can laugh at your post.

 

[ErasureAcer]

If Ireland loses they're out. A draw isn't much better. They need to win.

 

[rawd]

Yeah it has the makings of an upset

I don't see Croatia getting a point off of Spain, so not necessarily.
