I'm watching Brazil - Cameroon and it's great to see how Ronaldinho is trying to dive and how he constatly complain to refferee, even after final whistle.

italy out, let's cry for two seconds and then get excited that giovinco and de ceglie will be sitting in the next plane to turin :D:D:D No more worries for injury, no more worrying about how exhausted they're going to be... and thank god they can practice with the rest before the season starts.

good for us ... de ceglie and giovinco will probably be available for the artmedia match and if molinaro is still injured we might see de ceglie as left back !

    Seems like Giovinco has allowed the hype to get to his head, pathetic display by someone so highly rated by the media and fans.

    I wouldn't just say him, most were just as bad.

    On the plus side, De Ceglie had a good game, constantly crossing the ball and getting forward, winning balls.

    We got two penalties against and a red card and we still have to thank the referee :D. My God, I don't think I've watched such a bizarre game. Italy were all over the place, although they could still complain about the referee in my opinion. Viviano was just awful, Giovinco missed two good chances and Dembele was brilliant. Man, we should get that guy at Juventus.

    Congrats and good luck to Belgium.

    Back to the drawing board for Italy.

    In all honesty the referee turned this into a strange game. Belgium just wanted it more and I think that's why they won. Italy obviously have the better team, but it was quite a poor performance from them and they weren't going to get any help from the referee after the initial penalty and red card. All in all I can't say we didn't deserve it though.

    Definitely a harsh comment. Gio had a couple of chances, and had he buried, you wouldn't be saying shit.

    He didn't play up to his lofty standards tonight. That doesn't mean that he "allowed the hype to get to his head". It means he had an off night.

    Our porous defense (with the general exception of Paolo) and goaltending (poor and STUPID) lost us this match. NOT SEBA.

    Giovinco was up against a very poor Belgian defender (De Roover). That he wasn't able to do more says a lot. My guess is he's tired and needs some rest. He hasn't really had a break and I hope he doesn't get burnt at Juventus.

    Holdon, we should get Dembele. I'm telling you, this guy has what it takes and could complete our team.
