Italy have been brilliant so far. Tactics spot on at the moment.

8-[:|:!:#-o?

Are you not watching the game?

Italy getting in Spains faces, let them pansys dive around bit. Pirlo is pulling strings in there. This game needs a goal though

 

[Park Lane James]

I think Spain will win by at least 3.

This is the Italians we're talking about - and they're playing five at the back. They'll be more solid than that

 

[Stiff_Swede]

Yeah very nice tactics from the Italians forcing Spain to play wide, but rather expected, when did an Italian team get their tactics wrong

 

[DHSF]

i THINK iTALY HAVE PLAYED OK ACTUALLY.

 

[Tottenham Dave]

Harsh booking for me.

 

[Jordinho]

Balotelli to get booked. Easy money if I did any betting.

Yes i am and they've been nothing more than decent. Brilliant is not how i'd describe their performance.

Spain have nobody up front so they have to play wide

Okay "brilliant" is not the right word, but they've been better of the two sides. I usually thought if you better a team who is supposed to be "the best in the world" your performance would have to be pretty good.

Balotelli to get booked. Easy money if I did any betting.

Is he even playable for that

 

[Mumorn]

Balotelli's touch just then, wow..

 

[Mumorn]

0-0 ht.. played Italy

 

[Stiff_Swede]

Spains defense look shaky not very well organized.

 

[Modric THFC]

Unbelievable game. I feel Spain have another gear to go into. Italy much better with 352 than they were with 442. De Rossi is having a great game.

di Natale needs to come on for Italy and Llorente or Torres need to come on for Spain, the game will improve

 

[Stiff_Swede]

Spain need to get Torres or Llorente on to easy for Italy to defend now.
