Only if you let us watch via live stream.

I'll do some live tweeting too.

Liverpool's training stuff is online: http://store.liverpoolfc.tv/warrior/adulttraining/s/c/c

It all looks a tad shit.

Do fancy one of those garish Warrior vests though.

 

[Zabojnik]

Buffon injured? Shieeet, slight shoulder pain. Hope it's not the old injury raising its ugly head again.

 

[pulga]

Close, Balo!

 

[Messi]

Walked by a kid wearing the new Liverpool kit, and I looked at the back of his kit and he had 'Lucas' on it. I smiled.

Top lad.

They have been slaughtered for that trailer. Like really, really slaughtered from some journalists and opinion pieces.

Will have to go see the walkthrough though.

Let's us know what you think of the walkthrough.

 

[Zabojnik]

Goddamit, I don't even know if I should post this. Luca Toni's and Marta Checchetto's first baby was stillborn today. I have no words. RIP. ((

That's very sad news to hear. Forza Toni!

 

[pulga]

Terrible defending there.

Edit: Montolivo off. Maybe Italy can play now.

 

[Zabojnik]

Gol sbagliato, gol subito. Works every time.

Horrible. RIP and Forza Luca <3

I hope Gazzetta dello Sport are feeling like shit right now.

 

[Zabojnik]

Formica Atomica!

 

[Manager]

Mario getting mad. Russians better watch out.

edit
and there's victim number one

very sad to hear. Luca Toni is such a great guy, when he was playing for Bayern he was always radiating optimism and fun, i hope that they will recover from this and that they will be blessed with many children in the future.

Lol, I came to comment.. following the ESPN Gamecast and saw a yellow next to him so I scanned the updates and saw: "Mario Balotelli (Italy) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul."

 

[kharma45]

Just messing around with the Windows 8 sports app and noticed this.

We only had one red card all season in the league?!

 

[Manager]

wtf @ Italy defense

 

[pulga]

WTF De Sanctis?!

 

[Arnie]

That's such a poor goal to concede.

 

[Zabojnik]

Ahahaha, oh wow. I'm suddenly reminded why this is the first Italy's friendly match I'm watching in a long time. No effort whatsoever, zero chemistry, as per usual.

 

[Manager]

But it was a pretty awesome red card.

 

[Yurt]

wtf @ Italy defense

No Chiellini and playing four at the back for some reason.

 

[Manager]

Balotelli better calm down. The Russians are targeting him all the time and he keeps mouthing them off. I smell a stormy forecast.

If the Italian coach is smart he's taking him off.

edit
and that was before that guy got hit

 

[Smeghead]

I don't think Maggio can play in a flat back four.

Spain are going to Pardew us next week if we're not careful.

Also a good test for Balo, these russians are kicking the shit out of him and he hasn't really come off the boil, much...

 

[Zabojnik]

Giovincio will score from the free kick. Calling it.

EDIT: Guess not ...

 

[Manager]

I don't think I've ever seen Mario do a good freekick in City. He keeps getting chances though.

 

[Yurt]

A huge Chiellini sized hole in the Italian defence.

edit: LOL

 

[dc89]

Marcotti on TalkSPORT just said something I had to double take at.

England V France in the Euro's is taking place in a 60,000 seater stadium. England have sold 3,500 tickets. His source tells him France have sold 41. Not 41,000 just 41. FORTY ONE.

He said people just don't want to travel to the Ukraine and he said its horrendously expensive.

 

[pulga]

Italy's defense is RIDICULOUS

 

[Manager]

dafuq at that defense

 

[Meier]

No Criscito doesn't help matters I imagine.

Wow, another for Russia. :O

 

[Ushojax]

lol Italy defense

Nice shimmy from Pav, of course he fell over immediately afterwards.

 

[Smeghead]

LOL every goal has come from Maggio's side, fuck me.

Abate save us.

 

[Zabojnik]

Wow, just wow. Terrible defending.

 

[Yurt]

Abate save us.

Howler from De Sanctis. Three goals made in Napoli.

Sorry =GabrielKnight=.

 

[Paracelsus]

Glad about the loss, maybe they'll sack that very mediocre coach before the tournament begins. He said he doesn't want to use Juventus' formation? Serves him right, enjoy your holes-filled defense.

Not a surprise after reading of hotels that cost $1,000 a night even though they're "2-star" equivalents. UEFA, FIFA and the Olympics Committee will eventually regret giving all of these countries major events despite the fact they're not suited for it. So annoyed still that the US got fucked by Qatar and Brazil.

 

[Wilbur]

No way can they only have 41 fans there :lol

 

[Zabojnik]

There's still time to call Conte. It's not like he'll be coaching in Serie A next season, amirite guys?

Spoiler

Fuck you, Gazzetta, you fucking XXL-sized toilet paper.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Not much to take away from this I think.

Goaltending: solid as usual. Thought Akinfeev looked a bit better. Hopefully he gets the nod at euros.

Defending: sloppy all around. Thankfully though Nababkin won't sniff playing time at Euros.

Hard to judge our offense since Italy's defense was lol worthy at times. But still at least we scored.

They key is now not to get overconfident heading into Euros.

They don't deserve Conte.

Brazil? Brazil is hosting the 2014, not the 2018 or 2022. And Brazil is a better hosting nation than USA, for sure.

edit: México u23 won the Toulon Tournament, congrats!!!!

 

[Meier]

No, Brazil is absolutely not a better hosting nation than the USA -- that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Brazil, in this case, is in reference to the 2016 Olympics.

I don't know about the Olympics, but for a WC I can hardly think of better country than Brazil (outside the top European countries-Germany, England, Italy, etc) to host a WC.

Is it?

Nani's quotes sound like he could be leaving United.

Qatar 2022: the emptiest stadiums.

Agree. I mean if ever the term "footballs coming home" was deserved it will be for the Brazil world cup. It is also a modern vibrant and growing country. I think the world cup there will be wonderful.

Anzhi possibly? I remember them wanting to offer huge sums to get him.
