EURO 2012: Day 3 Matchday thread

ESPN is obsessing over Balotelli. They've run about 3 segments on him since the match ended.

The ginger yank pundit is being a prick, trying to get Rossi to say he wouldn't want to play with Mario.

Here we go the Mario haters are having a field day forgetting that he made the pass that won us the league. He had a good game and every striker misses even world class ones. Torres missed about 6 chances why not give it a rest?

He is 21 plays for us and his national team like him or not he is a talent enough to do both.

I've not seen anyone "hating" on him. I just think some people don't view him as this world class striker others spout on about. Yes he played the assist and he has scored some very important goals for us this season and no one is calling him shit. He's far from shit but he's also far from world class. I feel he has fucked up his big chance now and will start on the bench next game which is a shame as he keeps showing promise but no consistency.

Dont be so sure its up to the formation the manager wants everything he does is watched too closely. He did nothing wrong to be honest missed in game? So what he would not have missed that last De Rossi volley and people are mocking him which I find strange because to play for your national team you cannot be average.

International football is funny though. There have been plenty of players who were given there chance and fucked it up and were never seen again. That won't happen to Balotelli but sometimes all it takes is one bad game/fuck up and the manager loses confidence in them and they arenever picked again. Just look at Richards.
 
Sky has praised Silva's ball to Fabregas. Called it a thing of beauty.

Did Richards even get the courtesy of fucking up a game before he was excommunicated from the squad?

Alexi Lalas is a moaning, no-talent twat who sits there whining about players with 1000 times his talent not behaving the way his toady ass would.

If he was laying in the street with two broken legs and vehicles bearing down on him, I would take the time to piss on his face because he deserves to go out with some dude pissing on his face.

They should start with Di Natalie and Balotelli.

Nope. Cassano was fantastic, Mario dreadful.
The ITV pundits said at half-time that they were both doing OK.

I don't always go with the pundits, but as two of them were Patrick Viera and Roberto Martinez, in this case I'll go along with them rather than with you.

Actually, I wasn't that impressed with either, but that might have been due to the tactics Italy were using.
