Euro 2012 - Match discussion thread

England well on top here

Yep. They’re having all the ball and and getting plenty of joy from the flanks, albeit not from the wingers out there.

Better now from Italy. It doesn’t take much pressing to win it back from Parker, Milner or Young.

Missed chance there fuck you Terry,Pirlos immaculate passing a joy to behold!

Super recovery block from Terry. Balotelli took an age though.

Gerrard finds his second great touch of the game.

I miss camoranesi has he retired!?

Even with two full backs and two wingers England defend very narrowly and the switch to the far flank is on every time.

Italy threatening now.

He is back in Argentina these days

Both Balotelli and Welbeck should have made more of their chances there.

Game set up for big Andy, get him on.

Balotelli continues to ruin Italy’s passing game. Giving it away constantly.

Should have been 1-0 there. Pirlo is magestic

What a diagonal from Pirlo.

Fuck off balotelli useless cunt bring on Di Natale!

Pirlo is a joy to watch

He looks like he’s so worried about looking cool and casual he actually fucks things up. Happened against Spain too when Ramos got back to him.
Rooney can’t stop giving it away. England are going to tire in the second half with all the ball Italy have.

Balotelli really should have scored there. Enjoyable enough game

Engerpool have barely seen the ball since the 20 minute mark. I don’t expect that to change much in the second half.
