So kicking people in the head is legal now?

[Inter2010]

That's only 2 kicks... but they got kicked three times 3 - Zip

Dylan sounds salty

Dylan sounds salty

Not to mention not stopping play for the head injury leading to their goal.

Other than that I can have no complain, these things happen when you only hoof balls up to your striker, sometimes you hold on and snatch something, sometime you get dicked.

 

[KevinB]

It's not that the Irish were that nice. For example that dude passing the second ball on the pitch to the Belgian attack..

Anyway, I found it a good defense, I'm pretty sure Long doesn't have any injury on it and was kind of acting a bit. Regardless, that's my black-red-yellow perspective. I expected more from Ireland

When Hendrick did that I was disappointed, he was always gonna get a card for that stupidity.

We got intimidated unfortunately. Against Sweden we had Brady left back who at least tries to pick out a pass from defence rather than hoofing it so Long had an impossible task to hold up the long balls. We would have been better off with Murphy if that was all we were going to do.

Going to need a massive performance against Italy.

With Italy fielding their second string, Ireland could have Win it and hope for The best 3rd spot. With nothing to Play usually Italy Play in friendly mode :work:

 

[Dylan]

That's what I hope for. Drawing with Sweden fucked us up.

 

[Dylan]

Do or die time. Robbie Keane's last game in an Irish jersey too.

I know I'm in for disappointment but time to gear up the false hopes one last time.

 

[kameru]

Damn, I thought he is already Retired :notbad:

 

[ADRossi]

Sturaro has been awful. 3 giveaways already.

Immobile and Zaza is redundant. One needs to come off for Insigne or Il Faraone.

 

[Howl]

Hendrick having a good game so far. He's had a pretty good tournament too.

Ireland should have had atleast one penalty given by now.

 

[ADRossi]

Ah that wasn't a penalty, he barely touched him.

 

[Batman]

Italy is so frustrating to watch this game. Reminds me of Inter, cant even string 3 passes together. Also the amount of talentless players on the pitch is incredible, Sturaro and Florenzi cant comlete a simple easy pass.

 

[Howl]

Ah that wasn't a penalty, he barely touched him.

Bonucci's foul on Long was a penalty in the box earlier.

And on the second one, the Elbow went into the players back to push him and looked like he barged him out the way mid shot. Seen those given all the time.

 

[ADRossi]

Jesus Sirigu, what the F are you doing?

This is painful. Take off Bonucci and switch off 4 to the back. No point in risking a second yellow for him at this point.

De Sciglio has been painfully bad

 

[Howl]

I was surprised with why they played Bonucci when they already secured first spot.

Can't believe Sharaawy hasn't started either

 

[ADRossi]

Please take Zaza off. I can't handle the errant passes.

#FreeInsigne

Please Conte, tell me more how Insigne doesn't fit your system. Has been on the pitch for 5 minutes and already has created more chances than the entire squad for 75 minutes.

Deserved goal for Ireland
