Can anyone see Italy getting anything against france on this performance?

I can, if France play the way they did this afternoon.

France were **** earlier, I think Italy will get a draw vs them and beat Romania to get through.

Italy and France has draw written all over it. Anelka was horrible today. Ribery was hardly on the pitch. Molouda is a waste, glad we didn't sign him.

I said when the draw was made that i fancied Italy to go out in this group and for germany to meet Holland in the final. Although i am routing for Spain as Nando deserves something for such a special season he has had.

Both old and dont attack. The Germans and Portugeese and Dutch have played the game the proper way and attacked and got 3points.

Spain will attack too. It's between them 4 for me

[Leyton388]

i missed the france game today so did not get a chance to see it. Did not even see the result until now and if they cannot beat romania going on italy tonight i think i might just be changing my prediction for this group.

So we weren't attacking and got caught on the counter then?

[Vermilion]

Well at least we've had an enjoyable game of football,( apologies to the italian Reds) some dire games so far tbh, but not this one.

[Leyton388]

England should play like germany or holland in my opinion and it is a joke that we are so **** with the players we have.

[fah-q]

FFS, We are destined not to score tonight

[Leyton388]

in the name is big bruce

Good game Good game!!

Ye had 2 players in midfield contributing nothing. The wingers were no threat and Toni offered zilch. Italy did not attack with flair like the other teams I mentioned IMO.

[Shaggy]

Funny that isn't it?

Dirk wouldn't have started had either Robben or Babel been fit but regardless he was outstanding tonight.

[JohnDoe]

Happy to see the Dutch winning. Now for them to beat the other bunch of cunts and we'll have at least one group of cunts out of the Euros.

[Joe King]

For all of Dirk's hard work, he did make some horrendous passes and started to let Grosso go soon as he came on. Can't fault him for the two assists.

Bad luck to Italy. It simply wasn't their day. The scoreline didn't reflect the game.
