Ball watching almost caught Glenn Johnson. De Rossi has to put that away.

[johnmd20]

Jesus, Italy can't put it into the net.

[SoxFanInCali]

Holy crap.

This may just be England's night.

[DLew On Roids]

England aren't getting back anymore. They look tired.

[sachmoney]

Has not been Gerrard's best game.

[fletcherpost]

Young has to come off.

[Zomp]

He could put Carroll on, take Young off and put Welbeck wide...or take Welbeck off and put Theo wide, or take Milner off...


He's got options.

[fletcherpost]

Neville seems to love his job. Future England manager perhaps.

[DLew On Roids]

The Ponytail of Destiny to the rescue.

Carroll not only doesn't look fat anymore, he looks like he's on the AIDS cocktail.

And Young stays on.

[sachmoney]

Keep going up the right England. Theo is a mismatch for the Italians and can create chances for Rooney and Carroll.

[DLew On Roids]

Lescott looks like Dr. Frankenstein tried to recreate Shane Battier.

[fletcherpost]

I like Young but he's off his game tonight.

[Zomp]

If Jordan Henderson actually plays in the knockout round of a major tournament I may try out for a couple of semi pro squads.

[sachmoney]

Rooney is like Wade! Gerrard is like Lebron!

[fletcherpost]

Fuck me they can't string a pass or two together.

[Zomp]

Holy shit, Diamanti is still alive?

[johnmd20]

Another turnover by Rooney. The dude is Lugo.

[Hendu's Gait]

Fuck me they can't string a pass or two together.

I think I'd rather watch the Spanish midfielders play hackey-sack then the English midfielders try to string more than 3 passes together.

[SoxFanInCali]

Rooney and Walcott got in each other's way there.

[fletcherpost]

Hart, Terry and Parker are possibly England's best players tonight. That's not what you want. Where is the Roonster?

[Snakebauer007]

Parker's passing has been awful, looks like Meireles out there

[sachmoney]

Great ball by Marchisio

[SoxFanInCali]

Glen Johnson: Defensive Savior.

[fletcherpost]

Parker's passing has been awful, looks like Meireles out there

But he gets stuck in and he's working his arse off. It isn't up to him to play the killer pass. He's been getting a lot of the ball though. It's problem.

[Snakebauer007]

Not sure about the criticism for Rooney, England forcing him to go at it alone, and be partnered. By a Donkey who keeps dropping deep, Hodgsons tactics are awful, but if they win...

[Hendu's Gait]

tease

[SoxFanInCali]

Oh, if Cole had put that in a bit better position for Carroll...

[fletcherpost]

Rooney is off the pace. He's not as sharp as he should be...cos he's a petulant fuckwit.

[johnmd20]

Azzurri's almost slept themselves to a loss there.

[ifmanis5]

Inches from epic for Rooney on that.

[Snakebauer007]

He had two simple short passes to play wide that would have resulted in easy crosses for GJ, and blew both terribly. He wors hard but has been completely outplayed(along with Gerrard) by Pirlo and De Rossi. I dont really rate him in their league anyways, but the tactics are hurting him too, IMO

[ilol@u]

So I'm a n00b when it comes to soccer, but if no goal is scored here in OT, they go to penalty kicks right? If nobody scores on the penalty kicks or its tied, the game is officially decided as a tie?

[Hendu's Gait]

pretty sure "Pirlo" is Lakota for "shoots from afar"

please tell me you're not serious

I am unfortunately dead serious. I am Donovan McNabb when it comes to soccer.

The entire England team has been giving the ball away all second half. Parkers been making most of the tackles so he's gonna get most of these tight passes. he's given the ball away, just like the lot of them...my point was he's had one of the better games, along with Terry and Hart, which tells you how bad England are playing.

[soxfan121]

An extra half hour of Pirlo...good times. Love watching that hair play. I am also impressed at the number of of suavely-coiffed beards & 'dos on the Italian side; Parker is the only man in white who could hang with the Italians at the club later. Everyone else in white is sporting a ridiculous mohawk (Ashley Cole, you are over 30...cut the shit) or has plugs. Joe Hart seems to have a whiteman's afro growing and the less said about Joleon Lescott's hairline, the better.

IOW, this match has been so boring, I'm reduced to sharing my wife's comments about the various player hairstyles. Worst game of a great tournament, thus far.

The game can't end in a tie, if the shootout is tied they keep shooting until the tie is broken. Someone has to advance. Doesn't mean either team deserves it.

The first half was pretty good, the last 30 minutes of the 2nd half were pretty atrocious.

[ifmanis5]

Ox for Young is the move for England.

Thats the same thing I said about Ashley, that is a young man's bad haircut

[sachmoney]

I want penalties so bad.

Get you wife in the thread...some of us could talk about haircuts and beards all day.

I just don't get letting Pirlo sit back and shred your team all day, surely you should mark him. He isnt suddenly gonna not be the best passer of the ball on the field. A deep mid running the entire game cant be given that time and space

[Snakebauer007]

Andy Carroll playing deep to me, shows just how bad Roy has got his tactics

[DLew On Roids]

Holy shit, Diamanti is still alive?

Diamanti is like Juwan Howard

[SoxFanInCali]

JORDAN HENDERSON, people.

[soxfan121]

Is it a good sign or bad sign that every reaction shot of Hodgson is him either rubbing his face or staring into the ground at his feet?
