Paraguay v NZ/Slovakia v Italy

[nicksonic]

no wonder why no-one was talking about the italians before the tournament started and expectations at home were close to zero.

Now that is hard, they just stuck that blue tape on it and he carries on.

Magic tape - it's taken over from the magic sponge

There's alot of at Lippi's selection, the naming of his successore before the WC making it obviously his 'swan song', the age of a few players-though the average age is the same as Englands-and the attitude of alot of fans towards the team.

 

[frogwoman]

As per the results of the group so far, will paraguay still go through?

 

[nicksonic]

ridiculous play-acting by the slovakian keeper, the italians may get the tables turned on them in this half.

Yep

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ryan Nelsen booked, meaning if NZ do somehow make it through, he wouldn't play in the next game

Least he'd be back for the QF

How come Buffon isnt playing?

 

[nicksonic]

respect to buffon, he looks like a proper fan.

 

[nicksonic]

How come Buffon isnt playing?

injured his back in the first game.

 

[George350r]

WOW Blocked on the line

 

[butchersapron]

Over the line?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Over the line?

nah

great defending!

 

[George350r]

Over the line?

Hard to tell if it fully crossed from the replay.. If anything only a quarter makes it over

 

[frogwoman]

It didn't cross the line no

 

[nicksonic]

Hard to tell if it fully crossed from the replay.. If anything only a quarter makes it over

the whole ball needs to be definitively over the line, otherwise it's not a goal.

 

[George350r]

Slovakia have done alright, they've deserved their two goals.
