[Parisien]

Nothing truly to be gutted about.......if England had as much possession, missed as many chances sure...feel gutted.... but.................

[Bell]

I'm sure we will. lol

Andy.

Italy "for the taking" after playing England off the park in virtually every department.

Pirlo's penalty with Italy trailing in shoot-out.

Balls of Steel.

 

[dem maser]

Italy deserve it....truth be told england were average, apart from gerrard

Pirlo is class

 

[BennyD]

Now we can look forward to Italy getting twatted by the box-heads.

 

[Andyk]

Thats it for me.....NOt a football fan and just wanted to see Italy beat England......and they did...........Must say England just did ot get it right and Englands great hope, Rowney, had a shocker.......

Saying that now that they have got through probably will not be able to sit it out but yes Germany will be a different game me thinks...

Well thats one way of putting it Ian , not quite the way i would , very reminiscant of competitions gone by , why do we continue to play overpaid over ego'd players that dont want to chase the ball , and man marking what happened to that , perlo and bartolini or whatever he's called seemed to have all the space in the world , dont they listen to the manager and follow his tactics , if not what are we doing employing a manager that doesn't know the basics , disgruntled , more so cos my mate Enzo will have a smile a mile wide , Kudos enz

The usual average performance....4/5 England players did not show on the night......Hodgkinson is another managerial fool

...he was average too Dem...sorry to say

 

[Parisien]

Germans wanted England......not the Italians....interesting game....brute force and play by numbers versus style and guile.....


P

 

[dem maser]

He was the best player on the pitch frank, did not deserve to be let down by everyone else

 

[Parisien]

No Dem.....lost ball too many times.....apart from 3/4 crosses and long balls that was about it........

[dem maser]

Maybe im being biased

 

[stradaman]

We cannot pass the ball, we give it away, and cannot control the midfield. No ball pocession, no feed to the front players, so the other team gets the ball for over 60% of the game! Its a lose lose lose.

Andy.

 

[BennyD]

At least we won't lose to ze Jarmans.

 

[Bell]

I agree.

Germans completely different scenario to taking on England.

Italy most likely will lose. Though I still think they're the only team, apart from world and defending Euro champions Spain, that can give Germany a fright.

Promises to be a fantastic game. Skill, tactics, athleticism. Has it all on paper.
