Toni should have gotten a yellow for his dives by now...

[GoodDead]

Mutu will be having nightmares tonight

Agree on that last one. He was clearly looking for a penalty. But we saw that all season, didn't we? LOL!! ;)

[benztown]

Mutu substituted...he looked done after his miss...but what about Marica, is he still injured?

The Italians are really looking for a peno now as Quagliarella gets involved. 8.5

[RibbyBollywood]

Offsides, a dive and they want the PK. Shameful..

De Rossi, same guy who elbowed McBride in the face and bloodied him, good, Yellow Card.

[Suyuntuy]

Gosh, they should give immediate yellow for any dive in the area. Toni's was shameless.

Mutu substituted...he looked done after his miss...but what about Marica, is he still injured?

I think he's fit.

[vheissu11]

I still cant believe Mutu screwed up that penalty kick! A point still keeps Italy alive and let's face it France is looking weak as well.

[SONICMASD]

this game is ridiculous.

[ToBeAGooner]

Lol, Grosso with the swan dive, they are coming atleast one a minute now.

[footyfan1]

Offsides, a dive and they want the PK. Shameful..

And there goes Toni again in the area. He really needs to go.

[code1390]

Italy begging for a penalty now.

[Amsteldam]

Bad call and bad yellow on De Rossi

[code1390]

Hey Tommy, just cause you get a touch on the ball, doesn't mean there can't be a foul.

[!Bob]

Italy are just diving in the penalty box!! It looks ridiculous.

[TheGrimSweeper]

Good challenge by De Rossi, of course ref gives him a yellow

[Suyuntuy]

So far this group, that on paper should be the strongest, is producing some of the worst play in the tournament. Wonder if it's fear of each other or what.

Mutu is going to need Zoloft.
