Did anyone else think Sterling had scored in the opening few minutes? [X(]

[warspite1]

Pirlo? How good is that guy? Absolute F****** quality. Every pass is simple - but incisive [&o]

Why can't England pass like this? [&:]

[warspite1]

Quality goals from Italy and especially England - Sterling - Rooney - Sturridge, excellent - and so unlike us [:D]

Because you don't have these kind of players (except Gerrard). You have to use another style. YOUR style. And so far so good [8D]

Which proves parking the bus is not a must. Good old genuine counter-attacking football. The best weapon at your disposal therefore use it.

And YEP, Pirlo is a bloody genius!

Who ever said parking the bus was a must???

For those watching BBC, just how BAD is Phil Neville? [>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:]

[warspite1]

When does the inquest start on why we didn't take Ashley Cole? [:D]

[warspite1]

Mmmmm not sure about Jack Wilshire in a game like this........[:-]

[warspite1]

Free-kick in a dangerous area.... where's Beckham when you need him?

[warspite1]

This Italian keeper looks really solid......[:(]

[warspite1]

Lallana - hurrah! - Sturridge looks injured - what a surprise......

[aaatoysandmore]

Yay 2-1 Italy [:D]

Welp 1st prediction correct. [:D]

He proved you right...

[warspite1]

Well played Italy - overall they probably deserved the win, but the England performance was a million miles better than the game against Italy 2-years ago.

[terje439]

So to sum it up (atleast the match I saw [;)]).

Football is not fair.
Italy will still put atleast 9 men in their own half to defend a lead.
Pirlo MoM ahead of Sterling.
[:@] Balotelli scored [:@].
How the *beeeeeep* did Rooney miss that one???

Football is not fair but Italy were worth the win
Its the way Italy play and its served them well
Yes - if we had won Sterling would be MoM, but Pirlo is a good shout
Balotelli took his goal well
Rooney??? I just wouldn't play the guy.....

I disagree. 2 - 2 would have been the fair result. Definitely the best match so far. Two great teams [8D]

And Pirlo is just err... amazing. In Barkley you have a world-class player. Mark my words.

I disagree, while 2-2 would not have been an unfair result - I don't see how you can say an Italian victory was unfair.

Tbh I do not agree that Italy deserved to win this one, a draw would be fairer by far.
Yes, but when I said so earlier in this thread, I was more or less shot down and told that "they do not play like that anymore" [;)]
I just cannot stand Balotelli [:D]
Well, Rooney was ok as a winger in the first half, but as a striker he just is not good enough. You English should ask the Doctor to go back and bring back Alan Shearer from his best days [:D]

Sterling is another good one. And now...tons of RUM!
