Too early in the afternoon!

Can't see where an England goal is coming from. We look like our old selves in the last 10 minutes. Poor on the ball, lacking ideas and energy.

Sad. Hopefully we can beat Uruguay and Costa Rica but I wouldn't bank on it. I predicted we would go out in the group and that could still easily happen.

Maybe off a free kick!

Sirigu is the perfect replacement for Buffon.

Maybe in the last minute.......

Maybe this corner?

Maybe next time? :angel:

Maybe not !!!

Pirlo :eek:

As per usual we cannot quite match the top nations. Its uphill to qualify now. :( oh well at least we tried harder this time and played better than in 2010.

Well done Pino !!! :D

Well done Pino. :)

Now to watch the final 13 hours of Le Man. :pimp:

Don't be sad Steve. It's not over yet and this sport is played with a round ball so anything may happen.

Congrats Pino. Enjoy your success but don't be a big head.:p

Thanks steve, England can still qualify though ;)

Love you too ! ;)

I liked the new English team.

I think they can do a lot better if they get some more experience (and then get rid of dinos Rooney / Gerrard)

England had great scheme in the first 20 minutes or so because that is when I took a break from the game and missed almost all of next 25 min's. But Italy sort of weathered the storm and the turned it over to their finesse game with Super Mario giving them a big fast talented physical antithesis type football player. That is why he needs to be wing forward, because they can generate offense (or the fear of it), and play the controlled relentless though mediocre offensive game. Their control of the balls just inside midfield though was superior by a little and they controlled and pushed their transition game very well. But then again I think they sort of knew what to expect from England, and they knew they had fast wings that ain't no freakin' secret! They had to respect the counter-attack but a speed advantage (which can be neutralized) in their set offense (England’s), with speed and at least 3 shots before Italy scored and had all the best chances. I think England has a fascinating side, and I think they are the new old Italy to a degree were fortuitous (Italy) because I saw a lot of shots from them that early that were really struck well, but didn't find the back of the net, Of course Italy had some well struck balls after they had the 2-1 lead that were scorched or tattooed! http://i46.tinypic.com/hv9ul3.gi:grenade:

Pretty much what everyone expected Ivory Coast 2 Japan 1

My guesses were ruined a bit yesterday

The english team played well, in the heat, but the italians was the better team and deserved victory.

Congrats Pino! (Not Ferrari)

That's the "fan" who said, they were, and had a better squad, so they would win :p:

Even Switzerland v Ecuador is a decent game. Showing this world cup is about attacks.

Gives me hopes Argentina and Messi will perform well.

Ladies (?), gentlemen and mr. Taz, please stand up for La Marseillaise.

Vamos Honduras !!! :D

Dang I missed it :angryfire. I was out getting a haircut, and grabbing some Ale for the match. I'd like to let my English dawgs know I'm drinking Newcastle today in honor of your teams excellent showing yesterday :beer:
What have I missed so far in the French match, it couldn't be too much?

That one hurts !!
