EURO 2012: Day 7 Matchday Thread

[LoveCity]

Great to hear Mario is starting against Croatia, the temptation must have been there to drop him.

i'm looking forward to tonight's games
not seen either Spain or Italy yet

 

[Roll On City]

Italy: Buffon; Bonucci, De Rossi, Chiellini; Maggio, Marchisio, Pirlo, Motta, Giaccherini; Cassano, Balotelli.

Alvaro Negredo will start for Spain tonight in place of Sergio Busquets. #Rumours

 

[Juan King]

Can't see past Spain demolishing Ireland.

Looking forward to Italy V Croatia. I thought Italy looked a decent side against Spain & fancy them to beat Croatia. Hope Mario has a blinder.

Poor Mario, it's Howard Webb reffing, he may as well give him his statutory yellow in the tunnel pre-match..

Come on Balo prove to me and the world you are world-class.

Stand up Mario and prove the doubters wrong.

Taken roughly 70 seconds for them to mention fireworks in Balo's house.

Funnily enough I think they actually get on quite well. I'm sure there was a match where Webb made a concerted effort to go over and make sure Mario was ok after a dodgy challenge, they had a bit of a chat, he checked him out (not like that ;)) and he may have even left the field without a card at all?

Either way he needs to step up for his country. If he thinks some City fans are impatient with him it's nothing compared to his fellow countrymen!

Shearer's hatchet job on Mario is a joke
did big Al forget when he tried to slice Lennon in two?
