FIFA World Cup 2010 - Group Stage

No Buffon, no party.

5 Juve players in the starting line up, now 4. Big Juve bias from Lippi.

And George Hamilton just stole the pun I was going to make.

Paraguay playing the right game here in not dropping back and allowing the Italians to press up the field,if Italy get wreckless and throw more bodies forward i feel Paraguay could punish out wide with pace.

Fuck sake. Camoranesi now. Way too many Juve players as I said beforehand. Italy are crying out for a Cassano type player here.

Smooth Santana on now :clap: Grosso a huge loss for Italy,Lippi is a retard for leaving him out.

Iaquinta is absolutely muck, i don’t think he’s got a ball into the box yet. Italy lacking in ideas and creativity in a big way here.

Save the Roma spiel Bandage.

Italy probably didn’t deserve that but who cares. :clap:

Goalkeeper. Oh dear.

Keeper getting all the blame but the number 19 didn’t cover himself in glory with his back turned to the ball.

:huh:

Cassano plays for Sampdoria

I was reffering to DDR’s goal.

Marchisio was very poor tonight; I haven’t been overly impressed by him on the occasions I’ve seen him play. Though nobody at Juve really did themselves justice this season just gone. Montolivo hasn’t been great either in truth and they’ll need Pirlo back in there to knit things together. In fairness, De Rossi has been very good throughout and I was happy that he scored - his passing has been excellent all through. A shame that Iaquinta is such a useless piece of muck though as he’s received plenty of ball in good positions.

Italy beginning to turn the screw here.

German TV are saying Buffon has " a pinched sciatic nerve"

Isn’t that what Bono has?

All 6 Juve players in the squad saw game time tonight and Italy played like old ladies.

Gazzetto Dello Sport are only saying it’s a sciatic nerve ‘complaint.’

Predictable hyperbole from RTE here and their concerns for Italian football. :rolleyes:

Souness reckons Italians have to take a look at where they’re going because people in England wouldn’t pay to see the way they play football. Brady lambasting the Italian youth game for having the very same attributes that he was extolling in the Germans last night. Jesus Christ.
