England V Italy, Quarter Final 2012 (merged)

[Ducado]

its not going to be a classic and its going to be very cagey.
Penalties is my prediction

My prediction as well

Should get funny on here when the defensive ones take unkind to the inevitable remarks about Balotelli from the pundits. Thing is though they'll be talking about the Italy striker, Mario Balotelli, not the Manchester City striker, Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli is a blue ofcourse people are gna stick up for him.

Not tonight he's not. I hope he gets sent off in the first 10 minutes, should he start. Then if the pundits take the piss out of the Italian who got sent off for ITALY after ten minutes, all well and good.

WUM!

Not at all. I heard a pundit on TS earlier saying that at this level 11 v 10 usually run out winners. The likelihood is that Balotelli would do something daft and get sent off. Terry and Lescott will know how to wind him up, (do you think Lescott will keep how easy it is to wind him up a secret just because they're employed by the same club?!). That will give England the advantage. Course, it could be Cassano who gets sent off who in the past has been equally as daft. Either way, it benefits England. The domestic season is over, City have nothing to do with tonight.

City have nothing to do with tonight!!!!...You couldn't be more wrong...what a stupid thing to say....that's like saying the countless billions Coke have spect on advertising was a waste on money!!!Anything Ballotelli does on the pitch will reflect on him next season (if he gets sent off I could see Mancini selling him for his own good), everybody is watchin him and are expecting him to fail, if he does he will get so much stick and will continue to be unfairly treated by the media and FA officials. How does that not affect CITY you plonker!!!!!

Either way, they would say the same shit whatever club/nation he played for.

The media will tag him as a Manchester City player if he does anything negative and conveniently forget he plays for City when he bangs a goal in....you watch!!!...I hope all the City play do well and don't let themselves and the club down. I can't bring myself to shout for manure players at all (hate them with avengence) but I do hope the team playing the best foorball wins...whatever no-one is gonna beat the Germans!!
