Italy - Australia Match Thread

[Guest Red Mist]

Finally Italy do the right thing and drop that overrated turd Totti for the much more talented Del Piero.

[Zoob]

The FIFA Official match centre says that he's not on FIFA's official injury list, so could still come on - though I've been thinking about this and what would be the point of putting anyone on it, might as well keep all options open.

 

Would he be allowed to take his crutches onto the pitch? could be useful. Would be even better if the crutches were just a ruse, but unfortunately I doubt that's the case...

[Nebraska Red]

Kewell injured.

 

Never saw that coming.

 

How unlucky can one player be, with the possible exception of Smicer.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Can't see Aus winning without Kewell.

[Stevie H]

guus hiddink can do anything. he knocked out italy last world cup didn't he?

[Guest Red Mist]

Damn, hard luck Aussies and Harry. I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest the Socceroos will LOSE without the Wizard of Oz in their team.

[Bigal]

Don't think Harry will be involved at all, they showed him arriving at the ground on crutches earlier.

 

It could an dead herring, and they italians will look at the bench and see kewell on crutches, think he isnt playing, only for harry to appear from nowehere and score 4 goals in the last 5 minutes........

 

By the way, I am shocked that australia have dropped the keeper from the croatia game. SHOCKED!!!

[Gilps]

Gattuso + Neill = cards

[Romario]

What is Kewell going to do long term? His groin seems shot.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

What the hell at the camera angle?

[Knox_Harrington]

Gattuso + Neill = cards

Neill hasn't displayed his skills on this worldwide stage yet. I expect a genuine f***ing shocker of a tackle from him (possibly on Del Piero) this afternoon. I'll be disappointed if one isn't forthcoming.

[sutty]

He might put in a "reducer" on Gattuso.

 

Though there is little point.

[Bigal]

by the way, wilkshire is a s***house aswell

 

love the phrase "the reducer"

[Stevie H]

bet everton sign that yard-dog grella.

[Bigal]

It will need an early goal this game i reckon

[sutty]

bet everton sign that yard-dog grella.

 

Now he... is.... rubbish.

[Stevie H]

he's the new lee carsley.

[Bigal]

theres a new one?

 

noooooooooooooooo

[sutty]

he's the new lee carsley.

 

 

The old one is still hanging around like a massive annoying slaphead.

[Stevie H]

The old one is still hanging around like a massive annoying slaphead.

 

give it ten years and lee carsley will be a dead ringer for that gurning little slaphead who benny hill used to pour custard over.

Something fishy going on there.

[BDB]

[Stevie H]

anything happened yet?

 

and why the good f*** can't ITV stream matches it covers like the BBC does? is it due to the unique way in which the BBC is funded?

[Gilps]

anything happened yet?

 

 

Australia having a lot of possession without really doing much with it. Italy had a few chances on the break. Gilardino has fecked up a couple of decent chances.

ITV are a two bob organisation who probably cry at the sound of the word digital
