Abidal red card! Penalty for Italy...

[Crimen y Castigo]

Come On Dutch!

We have to win this now.

[The Natural]

Good call.

[code1390]

Abidal off for DOGSO

[Crimen y Castigo]

Yes

[ToBeAGooner]

LOL at Abidal. Way to go Raymond, great move putting him back in the lineup. Comical.

[Crimen y Castigo]

Wow -- Nasri right back off the pitch for Boumsa(sp)

France down to 1 sub.

[-RB-]

Garbage...I don't understand why the red card was used there...

[footyfan1]

And Domenech takes out Nasri for the new defender? He's down 1-0, what the f#ck is he thinking??

Domenech is such a twat.

[glennaldo_sf]

Total disaster for France!

This first half could not possibly have gone worse.

[footyfan1]

Last man.

Looked like he denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity to me.

[Crimen y Castigo]

Last man, ref had to issue the red.

Italy HAVE to score at least another.

Toni with the contortionist flick....almost

[Adrian11]

Jeez. He could have at least plugged Makalele or Toulalan in the back 4 for a spell before taking off his sub so quickly.

[footyfan1]

Total disaster for France!

This first half could not possibly have gone worse.

It can still get worse.....

[The Biscuitman]

AbidaLOL gave the ref no choice

[Gandalf The Red]

one of fifa's poorest rules has ended this game as a contest:(

And Domenech takes out Nasri for the new defender? He's down 1-0, what the f#ck is he thinking??

Huh? Didn't he just come on? That would have been some goal from Toni.
