Neuer diving header in the centre circle!

Neuter so great atm
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
another one, he should be playing CB

wasn't it Neuer who was lobbed by Dejan Stankovic after a header nearly at midfield a season ago?
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
Aw why blow now?
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
Fuck me that was exciting.

Ha yes, it was Neuer

Great game.

Oh Italy, how I love thee
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
not the result i wanted but v v cool game. Italy terrific. Germany should have stuck to their system instead of changing it.

How come I sometimes think France are my favourites?
Avanti, gli Azzuri!

2 best defences in the Final.
Commiserations pandemic
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
Balotelli standing next to Giovinco is pretty amusing.
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
How tall is Balotelli?!
Great game for sure. Man the final is going to be strange.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
6'2 vs 5'4
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
Ned, all the more so since we've just seen them play a somehwat dull draw in the group stages
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
khedira was good and schweinsteiger in the 2nd half but the rest didn't bring it. Boateng was the out ball but produced one decent cross at most. Ozil was good until Italy scored.

Nonsense xp, the group game was the second best game at the tourney
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
Hummels too aggressive on the first goal.
The group game was good yes.
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
group game was a cracker

Germany won't win the next World Cup either, that belongs to Argentina.

Pirlo's like a shiny new toy for our panelists

oh dear Keown wheeling out the "German arrogance" cliche
― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Keown! Nearly every word is wrong.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Keown "German arrogance" Fuck Off.
A hoy tipped Italy at the start of the tourney I think. I wrote off Italy when they were wretched against Russia pre-tourney.
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
Keown is actually the worst of the BBC lot just in terms of ignorance
― Number None, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
wasn't the keown-dixon pairing A Breath of Fresh Air when it first arrived? Has the BBC just sucked everything interesting out of them?
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
nah, Keown was just coasting off Dixon and the fact that he sounds a bit posh
― Number None, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:57 (eleven years ago) link
^^^This.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
Speaking very slowly and sounding thoughtful helped as well.
He speaks slowly cos he's a yokel
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:59 (eleven years ago) link
It was interesting tactically but I look forward to a game that one side or the other has to win.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
Not entirely sure you're going to get it, Del Bosque seems pretty content with 0-0s and Italy might lose their nerve, Cassano might not replicate his great performance tonight, etc.
― boxall, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
hot as hell here, ppl have put their tvs out on the pavement with extension cables. v sad people on our street.
― caek, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
Torres prolly won't get the call - I remember him being off form in the group game against Italy
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
he had a nightmare when he came on, yeah

v pleased to see italy completely outplay a v overhyped & sloppy germany. so many great interceptions, italian positioning was fantastic.
― ogmor, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
torres is not on great form, but the italians do often play p high so spain need runners
― ogmor, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
disagree that germany were/are overhyped. But yes Italy were v good.xp
― pandemic, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
shoulda stuck with the quarter-final team though
