England V Italy, Quarter Final 2012 (merged)

Rooney has been fucking dire

Well he can't play his English game ie showing off at the Refs and falling over so he's having to just play football.

lol, bloody good point.

I wonder if Lescott will take Balotelli out of his pocket at pre season?

He has played as a lone striker and could have very nearly scored the goal of the tournament.

But he didn't. And for the rest of the game Lescott has had him for tea.

 

[Damocles]

agreed but in order for england to get through this game.

Oh, if I was so inclined that I cared about England (and I sort of did before Richards got dumped) then Barry would be the one player I'd desperately want against a Pirlo/DDR midfield.

feel exactly the same, picking players for other than football reasons is unforgivable.

I think if there's one player from City I'd have in this England team, it would probably be Johnson now. No real directness from the wings, all of our wingers except Milner have been coming inside too much.

so it's alright for you to dig at Balo for trying yet god forbid everyone who has a go at England?

Looked like a good (or ''deeecent'') save by JH there.

and we are playing it in the air to them :(
