Paraguay v NZ/Slovakia v Italy

[Lord Camomile]

Listening to World Cup Daily this morning, they supplied this fantastic fact: in the course of the tournament Italy defended six shots on target, and conceded five goals

Yep, him and Buffon would have made a difference and they could have easily scraped, dived and rolled their way around into the latter stages.

I felt sorry for Buffon at the end. He really was kicking every ball. Future Italy manager?

 

[butchersapron]

Future italian duce.

Fascist prick.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Is he another Di Canio?

 

[butchersapron]

He is, and a bit more hardcore i believe.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Oh, didn't know that.

 

[kabbes]

Why must you ruin everything for me, butchers? WHY?

 

[butchersapron]

You must live in the real world.

 

[kabbes]

A cold and ugly place. Can a man not dream of higher things, dream of a place where Italian goalkeepers just keep goal, where British institutions aren't riddled to the core and where Shevek isn't a complete fucking idiot?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Haha, you've found another idiot to get annoyed by.

 

[twistedAM]

Future italian duce.

Fascist prick.

Ah fuck. Bollocks to feeling sorry for him then.

Now, please don't tell me Pirlo is a fascist cunt as well.

 

[g force]

Not read or seen anything to suggest he is.

Buffon is an utter cunt though, right down to the "oh I didn't know that number alos meant that"....hmmm yeah right, why not just ask for the #1 shirt then as first choice keeper

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did not know that.

Gianluigi Buffon, the Italian national goalkeeper, has worn a T-shirt sporting the fascist slogan, 'Death to those who surrender'. Buffon also raised a few eyebrows last year [in 1998] when he picked 88 as his shirt number for the new season. The decision upset Italy's Jewish community, which pointed out that the figure is sometimes used as a neo-Nazi symbol - 'H' is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 equates to HH, or Heil Hitler.

Buffon denied any knowledge of the link, claiming: 'I have chosen 88 because it reminds me of four balls and in Italy we all know what it means to have balls: strength and determination.'

Now, please don't tell me Pirlo is a fascist cunt as well.

I think he gets a lot of abuse from that lot for being a gypsy of some sort.

I'm not sure he is but it's enough that they think he looks like one.

Bad luck Italy! A perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. Slovakia were crumbling by the end.

They only woke up when they went 2-0 down,a fairly easy group as well
