IMO just masking over his side's inadequacies!! If Juve are a reflection of Italian football at the moment no wonder attendances are tumbling there!!! Serie A needs to sort itself out, including the nastiness of some of its fans (re Lazio and others) with their z(x)enophobic attitude towards black players.
 
He is a magnificent manager though. Reshaping the game in terms of tactics. Can't hate him too much.
 
Yes, but to my utter shame, I'm the half that can't speaka my owna lingo. I can get by in French, but my Italian is lousy.
Well, you've rumbled me … I needed google translate for that (...my late mother turns in her grave...)

so at least the first game in the World Cup is a win-win. I want England to do well, but I can always pull the Italian card :)
 
Well, yes there is that though I don't like to blow the trumpet too hard..!

I follow both teams until the inevitable bowing out of England and then concentrate on Italy. I imagine it's a similar thing for you..?

I start the tournament by wearing my England shirt to watch the games, then always end it wearing the azzuri shirt - WC are poignant to me now as my late mother hated all things football, but I still remember her crying when the Italian national anthem was played in 2006 before the final. She died a few months later. Weird fact - when she was born in 1934 Italy were champions, when she died in 2007 Italy were champions. I was born in 1969, while England were champions…a bit of me hopes we don't win for a while :)
 
I didn't see the game so I can't comment on Clattenburg's performance last night, but I know that when I have seen him referee games, he has been awful. It is my opinion yes, and I know Tom will disagree, but he is rubbish.

Blimey. You're old :)
