Pirlo so cheeky.
Pirlo so cheeky.
I really think he was the MVP for the match, his play was so solid throughout the whole game, connecting passes and setting up for Balotelli to fall on his face.

I think they are stronger than the germans. Pirlo is pirlo, modolivo will give ozil a run for his money, the defenders are great, buffon is buffon and well balotelli needs to get benched or germany will win, I give you that. lol | ||

Pirlo is the difference between the two teams(not talking about the PK shootout) If Parker can connect to Wallcot half as well, England may have some more chances in the 2nd half. | ||

England played very shitty, i wonder how they made it from the groups, it was just as bad as watching greece play. Germany vs Italy's going to be an amazing match! Please Prandelli, get Di Natale in, your team plays wonderful but lacks a striker to turn it into a goal! | ||

The amount of space we left him was outrageous, a player like Pirlo would be the best player on the pitch with that much space. Him and Balotelli are the real quality players, the rest not so much, and we got rocked by them today. It just proves and highlights how bad we are technically compared to the top teams in Europe. | ||

That alone gonna make so much difference, not to mention the fact that German players are just better than Italy atm. | ||

I have to agree as good as Pirlo was today he got the whole pitch to work with up until 25 yards out. I dont agree England are technically weaker. Atleast not as weak as they are showing. They had a great spell early on and the whole time I was like please dont chicken out and start absorbing if they get a whiff at goal and thats exactly what they did. Part of it is Hodgson sure but this lack of belief both from France and England, is really depressing. The media will toast you regardless. Might aswell try to play some football and show you can. | ||

Germany was a big doubt in 2006 since they played like shit in 2004. Only after the group stage with phenomenal play they were on the radar again but absolutely not favourite against Italy at that time. | ||
