There's 4 days until the semi final.

My bad, I mean't 2 days of rest less than the Germans. I'm secretly hoping for a Portugal - Italy finals. My brain can't even process the amount of missed chances such a game would produce.

 

[criesofthepast]

JUSTICE IS SERVED. FUCK OFF ENGLAND!!!!!!!

Lol not necessary. England were dominated all game long but if Italy were going to lose to someone I would have been happy it was England. Showed some nice class both teams very friendly with each other and showed lots of respect.

dsfoiSUIDGSUIHFUUUUUUUUUU

SIIII CAZZZZOOOOOOOOOO

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Fuck yeah boys we are through!!!

 

[The Super Bob]

Lowest quality Italy side in the last 20 years dominates England for at least 90 mins over 120.

How grim is that for the English?

We're English so we are used to shit like this =)

 

[Rad-]

Forget Young, who the fuck decided to make Cole make a shot? Didn't he just make a record of not scoring in like 100 caps lol.

 

[Niks]

Pirlo for president.

 

[Lunchbox]

im gonna go beat off to that pirlo kick

 

[Reuenthal]

He's still got his racism charges to face when he gets home.

What did he do?

 

[CassSept]

What a game. I'm truly impressed by Italy, they still had energy up until the very end and dived very little (I remember two situations).

Germany-Italy will definitely be interesting.

 

[Lyonaz]

Pirlo was fucking BOSS.

 

[Madridy]

What a shit performance by England. Could've been 4-0 for Italy in any other day.

The better team won, and I'm happy for the Italian fans.

Congrats Italy!

 

[Lancehead]

So as I understand England didn't just play poorly for 90 min, but did so for 120 min. And then lost on penalties. Not sure what that makes Italy's performance.

And yeah, holy hell, Pirlo!

 

[AcridMeat]

Buffon you magnificent man.

Pirlo you are such a dick I love it.

 

[norinrad]

I thought England practiced penalties? lol

 

[kharma45]

What did he do?

Accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

 

[PinkCrayon]

BUFFON! I knew you wouldn't let me down. Both semis going to be good.

 

[JLG-]

Anyone have a gif of Pirlo's classy pk?

 

[Nevasleep]

Why the fuck is Gerrard captin anyway, he's just depressing.

This side is a lot better than the 2010 world cup one.

 

[Danielsan]

Excellent stuff Italy. Well deserved!

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Would have been a shame for Italy to lose in penalties after dominating the game.

 

[DSN2K]

shockingly shit display from Rooney and Ashley Young....England were awful but those two were leagues ahead in the shit rankings.

 

[Smeghead]

Lol not necessary. England were dominated all game long but if Italy were going to lose to someone I would have been happy it was England. Showed some nice class both teams very friendly with each other and showed lots of respect.




Fuck yeah boys we are through!!!

Definately necessary, i'm sick of seeing this tactic.

 

[panty]

THAAANKK YOUUU ITALYYYY!

 

[giga]

Pirlo's penalty just changed any momentum England had in the shoot-out, what a Boss!!


And two briliant semis, bring it on!

Seriously. Who would want to win after that. I would forfeit and suck his dick after.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Agreed. Post has been England's best player this game.

Post for MOTM.

The post also has better tactical awareness than any of the England players, it always knows where to be.

Edit: lol I tried to post this a long time ago but GAF was down again...

 

[Kurtofan]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[mxgt]

Not even surprised we lost on penalties, it's the England way

We were shit the entire tournament.

 

[scorcho]

The best part of Pirlo's penalty kick was how the rest of the Italian team reacted - instead of an emotional celebration like they did for Balotelli, there was a steady, slow applause.

Such a boss.

Post and Pirlo, MOTM!

 

[Brazil]

This side is a lot better than the 2010 world cup one.

That's not saying a lot.

 

[kitch9]

We were dire in the second half.... I'd resigned myself to losing long before it happened.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Im soooooo glad.

The quarters have been awesome.

 

[Buzzati]

So as I understand England didn't just play poorly for 90 min, but did so for 120 min. And then lost on penalties. Not sure what that makes Italy's performance.

And yeah, holy hell, Pirlo!

Bad? We can't score for shit. We just beat off to Pirlo set pieces. It's working for us so far, though.

 

[Sleepy]

Shit.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Pirlo was fucking BOSS.

Well he sucked for the whole game at least he redeemed himself.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Typical waste of time England. Ashely Young with a penalty to really put the Italians under pressure and he proceeds to twat the ball as hard as he can on to the ball. Typical bottling wanker.

You're forgetting you're 1 lung captain who got bossed throughout the game

 

[Meus Renaissance]

2014 will be no different if the U21 tournament last summer was any indication

 

[Deadman]

Pirlo fucking badass

 

[Reuenthal]

This performance from Italy is one of my favorite actually other than finishing. Not only they were pretty good attacking wise against an ultra defensive team for so much time but defensively they were better than what the Germans have shown. The Germans on the other hand have been more clinical up front.

 

[Photosynthesis]

I hate penalty shootouts. Tense, unfun, and not rewarding.

 

[Arjen]

Well deserved win for Italy, really fun match to.
Pirlo..what a fucking boss, man of the tournament by a country mile.

 

[Kikujiro]

This Italy is playing better than 2006 world cup winners Italy.

 

[Cindres]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

It goes to penalties we were never gonna fucking do it. Ergh.

Well, at least I don't feel as shitty about having to work Thursday night anymore. FUUUUUCK.

 

[Cromat]

Germany vs PIGS

Haha holy shit

 

[Hootie]

.gif of Pirlo PK please!!

 

[Labadal]

People still forgetting that England should have had two penalties.

I'm saying this as someone who tipped the Italians as EC winners.

 

[Reuenthal]

Yes, now we have PIGS

Portugal Italy Germany Spain

 

[Korez]

Haha holy shit

He mad

 

[Dilli666]

Germany / Italy will be awesome. Hope both teams will play as offensive as in their last games.

 

[GhostWriter24]

I want a Germany/Spain final.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Well he sucked for the whole game at least he redeemed himself.

Uh, what? He was the best player on the field.
