The two yellow card rule ruins the world cup.

Nah. There's few enough games where you can't really whinge about it. Especially for a striker. All he had to do was not pick up a 66% booking rate

 

[Marc]

Up to 4 great balls in behind the defence from Lampard.


Barkley doesn't look too comfortable in a 3 at the moment., wants to be more advanced.

Lallana and Milner not doing much atm, Sterling would love this space in behind.

 

[Meier]

Good idea from Barkley there, a worse keeper probably doesn't come to collect quite as quickly and that's a goal.

Lallana is doing great, Milner coming into it now better, but Barkley and Wilshire seem to love running into the other team.

Lampard doing good through long balls.

 

[Croyles]

I'm falling asleep...

 

[Vivalaraza]

What does Veratti actually do?

Waste of a shirt.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

we are far too slow at getting the ball in the box.

 

[WJD]

You know for how slow Milners skills are, for some reason they seem to work

It's like watching me try skill in 5 a side.

Do you have a PS4?

I can't wait to get one soonish and play you guys!

 

[D_prOdigy]

Wilshere is either moaning, on the floor or crying.

bit of the old china white will do that to you

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

What does Veratti actually do?

Waste of a shirt.

Same thing as Pirlo and Xavi

 

[LTWheels]

I do wish that Sterling and Henderson started. A pure youthful team, looking at the future.

 

[confuziz]

Wes pls, where are you

 

[Vivalaraza]

Same thing as Pirlo and Xavi

Sure, but since Pirlo is playing already?

Also I don't think he is as safe with the ball as them.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Balotelli is having a shocker

 

[Marc]

Unlucky Barkley, great build up work. I think if he gets a goal he'll suddenly go on a run.

Excited by him and Sturridge working together, one of the few positives going forward.

Oh right, just remembered Rooney. Nevermind.

 

[K1LLER7]

Not yet.

Want a white PS4. Nothing out at the moment that'll make me buy one any time soon though.

Wut?? he's been our best players

 

[Broder Salsa]

heuheheueehehe

Would be a bit unfair, especially since the "youthful" team didn't do particularly well anyway. Good to see a few new guys get a shot.

We don't have a Veratti on the pitch m8

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Also I don't think he is as safe with the ball as them.

he is only 21 and already is so composed and doing well on the world stage.

He does takes a few unneeded risks, but he is talented enough to overcome them.

 

[Feorax]

Can't blame Gerrard for that one.

 

[confuziz]

U.S. Soccer ‏@ussoccer 34m

Hey @KingJames! Heard you're opting out?? We've got a new team for you: The #USMNT! #LetsDoThis #OneNationOneTeam

:lol

 

[Vivalaraza]

Don't get me wrong I think he's a great talent and everything. It just feels like this role in the Italy team is too passive.

But I suppose you are okay with a draw anyway.

 

[Yurt]

Verratti on the other hand is playing brilliantly and is a vast improvement over Thiago Motta.

 

[3Sixty]

Can't blame Gerrard for that one.

We'd be losing if he was on

 

[Yen]

The youthful team with an average age of 28

 

[K1LLER7]

England cricket team sucks.

Please stop, you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Wilbur]

heuheheueehehe

I don't speak Spanish

Barkley and Wilshere looking good

 

[Suen]

I fell asleep. Fucking do something Italy.

He's basically a faster DDR right now btw.

And a better dribbler as well

 

[cremino]

I'm annoyed by the fact that our players refuse to move without the ball and we're so slow.....
Prandelli, What have you done???

 

[Yurt]

Boring half, which is GOOD.

They don't want to get stretched. Dat Capello mentality.

He takes the focus off of Pirlo. As with the CR game if you can shut down Pirlo you shut down Italy. Now, if you shut down Italy Verratti will control the game. 31/31 passes so far

---------------------

The lack of penetration is killing me. Uruguay have not put up any real fight, but we have allowed them to stay in the game. This is typical Italy not killing off opponents and then we are likely to get done later in the game.

 

[Kikarian]

cricket sucks.

fixed.

But seriously, imagine paying to go watch cricket.

 

[Vivalaraza]

What does Marchisio actually do?

Waste of a shirt.

 

[cremino]

Ask Prandelli......Jokes aside we regressed a lot after the Euro 2 years ago

 

[Marc]

England [removed] sucks.

Fixed.

Are we doing well at anything? Rowing? We still good at that?





To sum up that half, it looked like a friendly match. Some positives but needed a goal to kick on, Milner destroying any side he is on. Terrible passing, slowing down play... standard.

 

[Yurt]

What does Marchisio actually do?

He scores on England.

 

[Meier]

Nice double save by Gigi. Second one in particular.

 

[Hixx]

Nowhere near as good as the first but still fun

It was for Bjælke you cunts. Elmander was presented as a Brøndby supporter today, a swedish paper tweeted, with many Brøndby supporters showing up to cheer the return of their lost son, Elmanders reply to that "is there that many unemployed", which is hilarious cause 95% of Brøndby are unemployed.

Spoiler

and glue sniffers

 

[Vivalaraza]

He scores on England.

Thank you for your response.

God this is dull.

 

[3Sixty]

Lol hoddle proper loves Lallana.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Did you guys see the stuff about Ronaldo's weird hairstyle might have to do with the kid whose surgery he paid for?

Apparently the operation causes scars that look similar to his "Zoro" symbol style.

Also, Hodgson has lost it. Rooney in center + Sturridge were fine. Why the hell is he playing Lampard?

 

[Herr K]

Balotelli i hate you fuck
