Take out rooney. Put in Michael Owen.

 

[immy]

I still say that the winner of this match will beat Germany. The England defence is very impressive and the entire team seems to be galvanised.

Rooney has been poor but they still lok very threatening on the break.

wat

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I like England's chances.

You only get so many chances in a game, and Italy blew all of them.

I really want to see Klose and Ozil making fools out of that back line England's playing.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

BELIEVE come on England

 

[LProtag]

I don't really think we deserve this game. We've had so many chances to put the ball away and we can't finish.

Pirlo deserves it.

 

[Kiraly]

Interesting in what way?

None of that Spanish possession borefest for a start.

 

[la_briola]

Na, I remember Reus' goal.

 

[scorcho]

Italy - Spain was so much more exciting.

Let's face it, the beauty queen tonight is Italy. The only thing England's contributed to making this entertaining is shoddy possession and Hart's heroics and Rooney's hairline.

 

[Dance Inferno]

atleast holland were fun to watch

Insofar as it was fun to watch their slow, imminent breakdown on the field.

And I say this as a Holland fan.

 

[w3bba]

I guess the site has only been down for me for the last hour. :s

nope, me too

 

[Raist]

Where are those who said that Spain was boring?

This is about 10000 times better than Spain's passing and diving around. And I'm really not a fan of Italy or England.

Spoiler

Especially England. Bloody brits

 

[Deleted member 1235]

cmon england...

 

[Zabojnik]

I can see England pulling an old-school Italy in this game. Late goal and somewhat undeserved victory.

 

[Nevasleep]

It isn't Gary Neville's fault. It isn't Gary Neville's fault. It isn't Gary Neville's fault.

 

[Kurtofan]

Fuck this title but it's so true

Whoever wins this is going to be tired as hell.

 

[Tambini]

C'mon England you bastards

 

[feel]

What the heck are you guys talking about?? Game has been very enjoyable with nice chances often in both ends, I'm actually pleased it's going to extra time.

 

[Labadal]

People forget England should have had 2 penalties.

 

[Kurtofan]

Is it golden goal or silver goal?

That doesn't exist anymore.

 

[Inversive]

Pirlo is a majestic footballer.

 

[la_briola]

Is it golden goal or silver goal?

Neither.

 

[Cromat]

Good game so far despite no goals... England getting to the semis would be really surprising.

 

[Kitschkraft]

This euro fucking sucks

This has been one of the better tournaments I've seen in years.

I didn't get to watch it because nobody played it on tv here, but only the last ACN seemed more exciting. And this isn't even over yet.

I don't get England's fascination with Rooney. Is he that good in club games? Because what I've seen from him in the national team has always been absolutely dreadful.

He seems to go through ups and downs at Manu, but the ups are very high quality.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

So good.

 

[pulga]

Where are those who said that Spain was boring?

Here. No goals right now, but the back and forth has been a billion times more entertaining than passing the ball sideways and back.

 

[kharma45]

Hahaha Henderson.

Playing for pens!

 

[K1LLER7]

Oh no, why Henderson

 

[Error]

Balotelli scores the hardest goals and misses the easiests ones. He had a couple of chances today.

 

[Jamie OD]

So many shots have gone miles over the bar in this tournament. Anyone else notice that?

 

[Bo-Locks]

wat

Chelsea defended well against Barcelona while still giving plenty of chances away. Don't let the shit finishing of the opposing team fool shroud the excellent defending.

 

[scorcho]

Henderson? haha

 

[Dark Schala]

Was about to say this. It almost feels like it's going to go that way.

 

[Lunchbox]

Interesting in what way?

one team isnt back and sideway passing the entire game playing keep ball for 90 mins

spain are dreadful to watch, youre the new italy

 

[Garjon]

Yes, Henderson is coming on. Now England can concede, lose the game and I can go to bed.

 

[giga]

Diving shit.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I'm actually quite impressed at the lack of diving on behalf of the Italian players so far. I'm starting to warm up to them.

Balotelli still has the stupidest haircut of all time though.

 

[kharma45]

Fucking awful dive by Young.

 

[opticalmace]

yikes

 

[Ushojax]

Ashley Young you are an embarrassment.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

So many brutal posters In this thread all a sudden.

How the heck any of you think this game is boring?

0-0 Score doesn't always equal a boring game. Not when both teams are playing so aggressively, either protecting their goal aggressively or trying to score one.

Your know what's a boring match? A match that has an early 1-0 score and the rest of the match. Has the team that's leading, just keeping possession and not doing much with said possession.

I wish I could give you a perfect example of a boring 1-0 match of recent. But nothing's coming to mind...

 

[K1LLER7]

Well done Parker, played well. But Henderson?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Henderson will fuck up and cost England.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Scott Parker would make me go gay. He looks like a fine British dandy.

 

[Draconian]

Terrible ref smh.

 

[Kellen]

Henderson?

 

[Lunchbox]

henderlol

[Phantast2k]
