Due to a technical error ( not being able to work out time difference UK - Japan) I missed the first half completely. From what I have seen Italy should be 2 up, have we had any shots at all? Pirlo looks like he is running the game. Mind you, not playing worse than in the other games.
I've just heard that the Spanish and ex Liverpool and Oldham player, Miki Roque has died from pelvic cancer aged just 23. RIP
Johnson fluffed a clear shot from just outside the 6 yard box in a central position, Parker fired a weak punch wide from outside the area, a couple of good crossing positions were utterly wasted. Pretty good for us in this tournament.
If this goes to extra time whoever wins are going to be knackered cannon-fodder for the Germans who'll have had two extra days rest...
Cheers mate. So far wondering how the Aussies do watching these matches at 4 in the morning, sure beers have something to do with it. Pirlo is still a marvelous player. That last English free kick had me thinking Gazza to Platt, Belgium 1990 WC. I loved that England team, have virtually no feelings for this one.
I know what you mean mate, I’ve not really got into this tournament at all. I’ve been trying to convince myself that it is because all my stock of football emotion was used up in the last few matches of QPR’s season. I was drained at the end of the Citeh match and this simply does not compare.
How long is the break between full time and extra time? Wondering if I can escape the hotel room to get a coffee.....we look second best in this, but if the Italians can't capitalize on our inability to pass they don't deserve much either.
