Unless Lippi decides to make some intelligent changes, Italy's not even going to have a chance to qualify for knockout stages.

 

[RipCity32]

Lippi is a <Censored>ing tool.

 

[Dorado]

damn how does does such a powerhouse like italy lose to new zealand?

wow.

 

[sheed]

damn how does does such a powerhouse like italy lose to new zealand?

wow.

Because we have a bone head coach named Marcello Lippi. This is pissing me off.

 

[cruzg24]

Damn what a great game by New Zealand with 10 men on the pitch.

Brazil is playing well right now up 1-0 against the Ivory Coast.

 

[Mooche]

Don't get me started on Italy... I'll remain optimistic and just say this.

-Win baby win. We beat Slovakia and we are good to go.

-Lippi, start Di Natale, he brings some flare and the man can run forever.

-When you are playing a large team, great size on the backend especially. DO NOT. I repeat, do not challenge them in the air. 15 corners? 1 goal? That's aburd.


We have to beat Slovakia. They have to start showing. But if Pirlo comes back and is 100 percent, I am telling you right now boys, this will be a different team. He's that good.

 

[sheed]

Yeah I guess he's coming back next game. And like you said, with Pirlo we can be a whole different team. He is the orchestrator in on the middle of the field.

 

[RipCity32]

Only thing is Pirlo probably won't be back at 100%, but yes he will hopefully have a very positive impact.

Too many players in that team do not have enough international experience. Lippi's sentimentalism is costing you very dearly so far. Reffereeing was a bit off, again.

The reffing was questionable... hence why I hate getting South American refs. They let mugging go. I mean, he called the PK and some calls late but early on, a lot of stuff was going on.

That was a soft ass penalty, the guy had his shirt for all of three seconds, and De Rossi couldn't have thrown himself to the ground harder if he tried. In the highlights I saw, I wasn't sure if NZ's goal was offside or not, but it loooked suspect.

The worst decision goes to Kaka's red card. What an absolute joke and a pathetic piece of play from the Ivory Coast player who play acted for about three minutes as though he had been elbowed. Disgusting behavior. If FIFA were serious about cutting out diving, there would be bans imposed on both players.

NZ's goal was offside. I already said that, to me, that game should have ended 0-0. I wouldn't say ban De Rossi but I get why you're upset. That Kaka play was horrid.

 

[sheed]

It pisses me off to watch any World Cup game now because these refs are trash. For more than half of the game I would like to know what they are looking at? Because I know for sure its not the game. Lippi just pisses me off to no extent. And like Rip told me earlier, let's <Censored>ing experiment in the WORLD CUP. That sounds great Lippi.

 

[dh1333]

Wow enough diving...

 

[Mooche]

Chile and Swiss tied at 0 - Halftime. Swiss are playing down 10 men though on a straight red card by the ref. Questionable call...

 

[playmaker7]

Whoever thought of the idea of those Vuvezelas needs to burn in hell

Spain looking nice against Honduras

 

[mg91]

Again, more red cards last night.

If you ask me these pricks are more concerned with making themselves the centre of attention. I can't think of any other explanation. The soft red cards in this tournament are a joke. I'm sick of FIFA providing a barrier for these assholes to hide behind. They should be made responsible for their GAME CHANGING actions. The inconsistency has been a joke as well. Players have been given straight reds for nothing, and others haven't even be booked when a red card could seriously be considered a fair punishment.

Footballers are meant to decide football games. Not referees.

 

[cruzg24]

Man, is France going to hell or what?

 

[cruzg24]

South Africa is beating France 2-0. I thought I would never say that.

 

[Mooche]

France just completely ended up in the <Censored>ter. I didn't think they would make a lot of noise this tournament, but get real, they just face-planted....bad.
