Italy V Germany

[tutankamun]

Italy XI: Buffon, Abate, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Rossi, Pirlo, Marchisio, Montolivo, Cassano, Balotelli.

[Dynamo]

Chiellini for Balzaretti straight swap. Harsh on Balzaretti IMO.

[tutankamun]

Chiellini for Balzaretti straight swap. Harsh on Balzaretti IMO.

 

Apparently Abate hasn't made it and Balzaretti will fill in at RB

 

 

Germany XI: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm; Kroos, Khedira, Schweinsteiger;

[tutankamun]

I'm spewing Muller isn't playing, had him for first goalscorer and 3-1 Germany!!!!

 

I want Italy to win now, bastards.

 

How on earth is Cassano starting again over Di Natale though?

 

Well Cassano has started every game I believe.

 

Di Natale is a good impact sub.

[tutankamun]

Cassano has been shit!

 

Fair point, well made.

 

Still, not a surprise he started tonight.

[Ando]

Mezut Ozil's eyes always remind me of Arnie in Total Recall.

 

[tutankamun]

I like the Italian national anthem, and the passion in Buffon.

 

French, German, Italian. In that order.

[tutankamun]

I'm just hoping for a better game tonight.

[Club5]

My link Germany or Poland for me

[K-9]

3-1 Germany prediction. And loads of cards from card happy French ref.

[tightbreeks]

2-1 germany aet.

[tutankamun]

What I tell you about that Cassano, great player.

 

 

Was always gonna happen once you said that.

 

Cat amongst the pigeons now. Game on.

[tutankamun]

I'm rooting for the Italians like.

 

Yeah, after Cassano had that shot that Neuer saved, I thought 'oh he'll turn it on now'.

 

Watch how many times he tries to run with the ball and he loses control and runs into people.

 

I don't like the way he just shoots from anywhere regardless of how ridiculous a position he's in. Wouldn't be so bad if he could actually shoot.

 

Oh and Mark Lawrenson. WTF? Surely the Beeb can do better than him for our licence fee? Maybe he's cheap?

[tutankamun]

This is the first time Germany have been behind in a competitive game since semi final in 2008.

 

They don't like it up 'em

[tutankamun]

Fuckin hell

[muttondressedaslamb]

FORZA FUCKIN ITALIA!!!!!!

[barassie_afc]

supermario has proved me wrong and turned up tonight whit a fkn belter

[NorthernLights24]

Some performance from Italy so far after a shaky start.

[tutankamun]

I like the way the stadium announcer goes "Soooooopppppeeeerrrrr Mmmaaaaaarrrrrriiiiiooooooo!!!"

 

[Dynamo]

What a fucking finish for his 2nd.

 

ITALIA!

[tutankamun]

A coming of age performance from Mario in that 1st half.

[Dynamo]

Germany corner, Italy leave 2 up front. 15 seconds later, Italy goal.

 

ARE YOU WATCHING CRAIG BROWN??

[tutankamun]

Shearer-esq finish for the second (Duncan or Alan).

[K-9]

Germany corner, Italy leave 2 up front. 15 seconds later, Italy goal.

 

ARE YOU WATCHING CRAIG BROWN??

No - but he has been watching Spain.

[OddJob]

Italy have taken their performance against the guffs and trebled it so far tonight. Fantastic stuff from them so far.

[barassie_afc]

tbh if mario had his shootin boots on they would have been 2-0 v england as well

[tightbreeks]

balotelli seems to put about 50% effort into it, if he played at full whack he'd be the best player in the world.

[tutankamun]

Yas. Ozil captain in the fantasy and had an over 2.5 goals bet on.

 

Italy through, hope they win it.

[vanderark14]

Who the hell took that kick for Germany??

 

One last hope to punt it up the park and he played it short. What a fud,

 

Well done to Italy, I really hope Italy win this tournament.

[Dynamo]

Yas. Ozil captain in the fantasy and had an over 2.5 goals bet on.

 

Italy through, hope they win it.

 

Haha I had on Ozil anytime @ 9/2. Get in.
