England didn't even deserve the chance for a shoot out, but when Montolivo missed I was like :cano:

So glad that Cole then :choke:

Because Italy winning was :motte: for my pool.

FORZA ITALIA! Pirlo shut Joe Hart the fuck up and fucked with his head on that chip in penalties.

It was a great shot by Pirlo yeah, pretty fucking ballsy.

Joe Hart is a baws tho, so STFU.

Has the US been knocked out yet?

GG Buffon aint no punk. That was one pathetic shit show though. The passing from England was atrocious. I have no sympathy for teams who play the way England did and lose. Italy deserved it. Italy was always favored going to PKs, which is why I didnt understand England wanting so badly to get there. Like I said, GG wasnt going to lose out to Joe Hart and England.

Pirlo raped.

I honestly dont believe Italy was favored in PKs. Maybe if we brought in Giovinco/Di Natale and kept Cassano. According to the Italian media Buffon isnt really the best GK you want in PKs. Our backup goalie fucking blows dick (Napoli's goalie) but he is a better PK goalie.


To Nashte and Rudi Joe Hart was talking trash to all the Italian players when they were kicking their PKs. Pirlo fucked with Hart's head when he took that shot. Nocerino went up there listening to Hart blabber his british fucking mouth, remained calm shot the ball then gave him a wink to tell him to go fuck himself. It was great.

Joe Hart always does that on penalties. He's a very confident/cocky player, so this wasn't something new he does. It's just part of his nature to help get himself in the zone...so obviously when he doesn't stop a PK its going to look bad. Shit is a coin toss anyway so I ain't even mad about him losing in a shoot out. He was a huge reason to why they even made it to extra time/penalties.

England has now lost 5 out of the last 6 shootouts they've been in. Slovenia are favored over England at this point

good for Joey. the player taking the penalty is probably going to score so why not try to get inside his head?

One of England's best players yesterday was Andy Carroll, which is pretty terrible. I don't think the England team was all that good. Gerrard was completely gassed in the Italy game, and no one else on the team can pass. I didn't like England's chances in PKs, but I can understand why they would play for PKs. They were outmanned against Italy, so to hold them to zero goals was noteworthy (and lucky). I don't know if Hart has fingers attached to his palms, but he couldn't make a save for his life.

Italy had many more chances than England, but Balotelli is terrible at finishing. Italy used to have guys like Iznaghi and Gilardino who were more of the poaching type. Balotelli is great at winning the ball and gaining position, but he doesn't have the final touch.

Should be two good semifinal games.

I thought Andy Carroll played very dirty. When he was running back to play defense he would always run into a player on purpose.

You'd like to think that he was doing it on purpose, but actually he just sucks that much.

That guy for Italy right now is Cassano. But the cokehead played like shit yesterday. Im surprised the faggot Prandelli didn't bring in Giovinco or Di Natale instead of Diamanti, but he did bring my dude Nocerino.

 

[kyhadley]

Apparently the most common passing combination for England was Hart to Carroll which I find hilarious. But yeah Carroll actually looked pretty good.

So was the post. Twice.

Carroll is an absolute monster in the air. He'll pretty much win anything you put up there its just someone has to be where he's going to put the ball. Several times you'd see him win it, control it and bring it down and then he'd be all alone with guys making runs that he just can't get the ball too because he isn't skilled enough. So then you see him try and create space and obviously he turns it over. I don't think England really set up a gameplan in which Carroll was to win the ball and knock it to a teammate.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Imo England did about as well as they possibly could have this tournament, Roy is the perfect manager for them right now. Interested to see how they do when Wilshere, Cleverly, Ox, etc. and healthy and matured.

QFT. In all the games they played. The center of the field was there weakest spot. Some growing and unity for the future and they might be half decent. But they need to learn to pass though. Cuz that sucked.

LOL @ England being the favourite in PKs vs anyone. No team is more capable of finding ways to fuck up in PKs.
