Italy v New Zealand

[TrippyLondoner]

Commentating on Radio 5Live, Robbie Savage goes 'I know you've got to be impartial on 5Live... but GO ON NEW ZEALAND!'

Switch your tv commentary off and listen 5Live - Savage is about the most entertaining thing about the World Cup so far. And more perceptive than a lot of the others too.

Cant switch to 5 live as its on itv?No way am i gonna swap tv for the radio while italy get humiliated.

Edit: Oh you mean online?

I was just about to say I keep getting confused looking at Robbie Savage's comments on the BBC updates and hearing Chris Coleman on the ITV coverage.

Trouble with the radio commentary is that it's often slightly out of sync with the TV, which just annoying enough to stop me listening to it.

Just read that this referee has refereed 3 previous World Cup games and has sent a player off in each of them.

Is it shallow of me to like the font the Italians have chosen for the names on the shirts?

If they lose this they'll need to be changing it to comic sans.

feck ya's had to google!

Italy will wear black armbands against New Zealand on Sunday in memory of former national team defender Roberto Rosato.
Rosato, who died Sunday at the age of 66, played 37 times for Italy and was a member of the Azzurri side that won the 1968 European Championship. He also played on the team that lost the 1970 World Cup final to Brazil
