EURO 2012: Day 3 Matchday thread

[Blue Haze]

He had a good pass available too.

Wasteful from balotelli. He is so close to being world class it is frustrating.

He has the talent, undoubtedly. Not sure he always has the application to go with it.

 

[Ray78]

And that sums Mario up. He got substiuted.

Hah commentator just called Ramos, Ramass. I lol'd.

Which challenge on Casillas would that be?

The one where he was late and got the back of his legs. In fairness to Casillas he didn't make a meal of it.

That was Cassano.

The Mario-haters are having a go at each other now!

I'm not a Mario-supporter or a hater. I haven't seen him do anything out of the ordinary either way so far, except for one great bit of skill on the touchline - missed by the ITV commentators. (He's just spent too long on the ball, and wasted it - he's not the only player to have done that).

He's certainly far from the only player who has done something questionable in this game.

Balo off already.

Bye bye World Class striker.

good sub

 

[Scotland_WC2010]

What a joke, Balotelli's been the best threat for Italy and Cassano has been just as greedy.

 

[Goater's Nipple]

Mario did excellent to even get in that position.

I think an Italian should of been shouting 'man on' or something to warn him. At the same time, he should of known he didn't have that much time.
