Man what the hell is Alexi Lalas' problem? He keeps contradicting Ballack. You are sitting next to a legend, child! Watch your mouth.

The Rooney pass to Welbeck needed to result in a goal. Half the net was open and there's no way Gigi would have been able to react quick enough with an accurate shot on goal.

Better in defence than he's been up front.

 

[Dark Schala]

Yeah, Balotelli can't finish for crap today. Really unfortunate.

GAF should just play that Simpsons technical difficulties music when the Guru's meditating.

Nooo. This game is too entertaining. No match so far had any team doing as good for more than 20 minutes than both teams in this one had for an entire half. By 90th minute they will be exhausted, extra time would be a bore.

Fair point. Extra time would be boring to watch. I have to admit that I like watching penalty kicks segments because everyone I know gets really into that stuff.

All he had to do was put his foot through it. So fucking frustrating to see that just float over the bar.

I'm going to be hoarse by the end of the game if England keep giving the ball away.

 

[Kyoufu]

Why am I not surprised that Shearer and Gabby Logan are working on the same team?

I think I stopped finding the magic in penalty kicks when Baggio cut my nuts off back in 1994.

 

[criesofthepast]

Cassano needs to be subbed for Di Natale sometime early in the second half.

 

[spidye]

BUFFGOD
:bow

 

[nick nacc]

Italy has been so awesome lately. I hope they win the whole damn thing

 

[Kurtofan]

I'm ok with penalties when it's not my country, fucking 2006...

 

[Cosmozone]

Fair point. Extra time would be boring to watch.

Not necessarily, I remember a particular past Euro England vs. Germany match that was a real nerve wrecker in extra time, but I admit it could've been the exception.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I really like Balotelli today.

 

[mozfan12]

Dat De Rossi volley, shame. Not feeling Abate, he should dare more. Montolivo is playing pretty decently, which is odd.

Interesting game, could go either way.

I agree, he doesnt move up the flanks as much as he does with Milan, but Im guessing Prandelli has him tied down a bit more.

 

[ektoll]

What a great half-time, so much tension! I'm Impressed by Montolivo... Forza Italia! I had shivers when I saw Buffon singing with his eyes closed.

 

[Frank the Great]

if italy want goals they need to put di natale and nocerinho on

 

[Smeghead]

Missing a real prima punta, Balotelli can't score for shit.

Matri would have bagged at least one. Need to stick more crosses into the box, England will take passes around the 18 yard line all day.

[JonnyBrad]

Far too much optimism in the BBC box. We haven't played well chaps.

 

[slaughterking]

Sunhi backlog is best backlog.

[pulga]

Italy is bossing!

 

[criesofthepast]

Life in Italy after Buffon is retired is going to be so painful

 

[Lunchbox]

Not when you're English.

[K1LLER7]

[Frank the Great]

[Alx]

It's even harder for a French to root for England. ^^
Seriously, great match from both teams.

 

[DangerousMali]

if we start passing better, we can cause mayhem

we also have Walcott, Carrol and Ox to unleash

come on England

 

[ColossalLazy]

This match is way better than yesterday.

 

[CrunchyB]

Awesome game. I'm rooting for Italy, odds are about 50/50 though.

Italian defense is surprisingly weak, good thing Buffon is such a badass.

 

[mozfan12]
