WC 2014 - Match 7 - England vs Italy

[Pseud O'Nym]

Gabby Logan should not be filmed in profile.

[Whatevs]

Good goal. Pirlo completely wrong footed the whole team.

a fair bit of luck in the ball going through a crowd of players like that

[Ian Royal]

Well switching Rooney and Welbeck didn't work. Baines horribly exposed once more. Defence in confusion.

[wingnut]

Way too much space for Balotelli

[seahawk10]

Come on England!

[AthleticoSpizz]

Bring on the ex-scummers

[Ian Royal]

We look good, but we've been punished for playing two strikers out wide and being too adventurous, leaving no protection for the full back and too much space.

I think playing Rooney wide is a huge mistake. But Roy's got us looking better than we've done in a long time.

[AthleticoSpizz]

...and of course

we are up against a quality team

[wingnut]

Gerard bit unlucky not to get the penalty there.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Gerard bit unlucky not to get the penalty there.

sorry...hardly

[Ian Royal]

Tipped it round the defender and there was clear contact with the defender no where near the ball. Bit soft, but you regularly see that given.

[TFF]

Welbeck's overreaction - no pen. Gerrard's under-reaction - no pen.

We need some reaction training.

[AbovetheI]

If James Milner comes on then I'm going to bed.

[sandman]

Gerard bit unlucky not to get the penalty there.

sorry...hardly

Tbf he was unlucky in that this ref doesn't appear to be as gullible and star struck as the refs in the PL.

Tipped it round the defender and there was clear contact with the defender no where near the ball. Bit soft, but you regularly see that given.

Quite - particularly in this tournament.

[Ian Royal]

Oh FFS Rooney.

[seahawk10]

England will score again, I can feel it!

[AthleticoSpizz]

all those "ITK" predicted a 2-2

[wingnut]

England will score again, I can feel it!

What are you, an Italy supporter?

[AthleticoSpizz]

nice looking pitch btw
