Pre-match: EURO 2012: Italy - Ireland (June 18,2012) [R]

people are talking about replace balo and cassano piff!!! they shut up those haters today.

 

PIGS 4, Greater Germany 2

 

No doubt Balo and Cassano are the most talented.

 

Great result. Not the best performance.

Diamanti MOM for sure

 

somebody please tell Diamanti to cut that thing off his head.

 

Let it be written: Balo and Cassano partnership from here on. Both of them were pure class today.

 

I wouldn't get too carried away with Balotelli. For one fraction of a second he proved (what everyone already knew) that he was the most athletic guy on the field.

That's all I saw.

 

lol. He looked retarded running around there. I couldn't take him seriously.

 

Not a good performance, but as long as were in, im happy

 

I agree. We played better against Croatia.

 

Was a clear handball by Ireland on Balo too.

 

I wonder what Mario sai when he scored. Motta covered his mouth

 

Anyone see the Spain goal?. Only saw it out of corner of my eye but it looked shady.

 

mario was saying where is the monkey chants now lol

 

Just trying to prevent another card and suspension

 

This match was an example of how much we tend to struggle against more physical and fit teams. In the last 20-25 minutes of the match we started to looked gassed while the Irish still looked like they had plenty left in the tank. Luckily our D stood strong and Gigi was once again Gigi.

 

I died of laughter when Bonucci was covering his mouth lmao

 

Balotelli scored a great goal even with his shirt being ripped off his back.

 

Just watch highlights. I think Iniesta was barely onside.

 

GRANDE ITALIA!!!...this team wouldn't be our NT if they didn't make us ********ing suffer EVERY TIME they play...LOL...glad to still be in this...who do we want next? England, France or Ukraine? I'm guessing Ukraine???? But I'm betting we get France...its out lot in life to always face the French...HAHAHAHAHAH

 

We scored on two corners. Got the job done but the least impressive of our three games. Di Natale does not fit with this team. We lost our shape (as little as we had) with Diamanti. Let's take the result and hope we improve.

 

i think mario had a message for the crowd... if you listen closely when he was coming on there where some boo's and possible monkey sounds. listen to it closely.

 

Yeah, seems like this is just going to be an ongoing problem, just something we're going to have to battle through.

Must say Spain and Croatia showed that biscotto talk was silly. Made no sense to begin with, why would Spain risk their tournament life (and reputation) to help Croatia?

 

We had already lost it by the time Alino mio came on the field

 

I'm hungry...
