Day 7 - Euro 2012 Croatia/Italy & Spain/Ireland

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Rumours are that Cox will start instead of Doyle.

 

[Fabio]

The game has kicked off BTW

 

[Fabio]

Italy starting quite brightly, Balotelli with a couple of decent chances so far.

Croatia are good on the counter but look lacking trying to get the ball into the box

 

[Fabio]

Am I really the only one watching this??

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

I'm here too.

Nice goal from Pirlo

1-0

 

[Athens]

The Italians score just as I was about to start singing the praises of the Croatian goalkeeper.

That was a fine double save he pulled off earlier.

 

[Fabio]

Indeed a lovely free kick

 

[Hansern]

Got 1-1 in this game. Italy have been good so far, Pirlo in particular.

 

[SummerOnions]

What a free-kick, lovely.

"James Richardson: "Like Cassano in the Italian dressing room, it's backs to the wall for Ireland"

 

[hmmmmm1]

Michael robinson (ex red) now commentator in Spain compared the Irish vs Spain match to Muhammad ali fighting a dwarf

 

[King Binny]

Confirmed Binny?

Yes, mate

Not much between those two elevens

Ireland XI: Given; O’Shea, St Ledger, Dunne, Ward; Duff, Andrews, Whelan, McGeady; Cox; Keane.

The Spanish will be shaking in their boots.

 

[themn]

Shirt-pulling at corners/free kicks is sooooooooo boring.

 

[Hansern]

How can Webb not give a penalty there? On both corners the Italians are holding the Croatian players with both hands. Fucking shite refereeing.

Diving Italian fuckwits.

 

[neildo]

You never know. Maybe Ireland can pull off a Switzerland? Or am I completely
Getting the teams confused?

Yes Swiss won 1-0 2010 world cup.

 

[Hansern]

Is Lovren injured?

 

[localny]

Read that article. He's gone native. So are we hoping for a Croatia Draw here?

 

[the count]

Are my ears deceiving me or were there some monkey noises when Balloteli was substituted?🙁

 

[dave2]

Get in.

 

[the count]

That was coming

Get in.
