Lol, whoever this half-time commentator...

"Chiellini was embarrassed for poor defending, hence he went to ground."

Yeah, okay...

 

[jussr]

I knew Italy would be the better team. Prandelli really sorted out the team. I always laugh at people saying Italy doesn't have world class talent anymore. I would probably take their attack over any team in Europe, and midfield and the defense is solid. I can see them, Germany or Spain winning the euro in 2012.

Doesn't matter if they're winning, drawing or losing. It was a positive performance and the result doesn't count.

Too bad Spain are missing so many important players and they can't play their famous game. I think that Italy would have given them a game even if Spain was full force and motivated.

I want to see Marchisio play now, motta has disappeared

I agree prandelli is working miracles

I know what he means because I do it too--you mess up and then dive to make it look like you were fouled and didn't actually do shit.

Cassano's finishing has been poor tonight but he would have scored had Casillas not made an excellent save with his leg.

Otherwise he's been awesome tonight. We should sign him.

 

[Fr3sh]

Italy is playing REALLY well!! As for Cassano daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn dude's a monster!

 

[Trequartista]

Prandelli is a very good coach.

 

[deggen10]

Chiellini always looking guilty.
Buffon diving 5secs too early as usual.

Will probably lose now after wasting so many chances.

Man , imagine him at Juve

Btw, it was really unusual watching Spain in the first 30 minutes playing long balls from Pique to Torres/Llorente. It's been ages since I've seen Spain/Barca players play like that
It mostly shows what a player Xavi is.

Later Iniesta took things in his hands and Spain started passing more. Italy were still the better team even in the last 15 minutes.

Your a bastion of positivity and faith aren't you?

They are dissapeared. Llorente just gained an undeserved penalty and Cazorla made some shots from long range. Ours strikers look much more active, but they should have scored at least two goals in first half. Too many opportunities wasted.

If italy comes out the same way in the second half I don't think Spain has a shot

Anyone impressed with Pirlo? He's the steal of the summer IMO. A player like that comes once every 20 years and we got him for free.

Yes but they were some good saves from casillas as well so it wasn't wasted really

Of course. I just hope he fits in well here with our system.

Very nice first half from Italy.

Prandelli has done well with this team so far. It's actually refreshing to see an Italy team attack and play the ball to the feet like this. Entertaining game.
