[Football] Italy Vs Spain

[Bry Nylon]

Why can’t they play in traditional colours? Just doesn’t seem right. Presumably it’s a UEFA directive to make it easier to distinguish teams for TV? At the same time Adidas produce a silver grey ball that looks like the size of a pea.

Yup. I know it shouldn’t bother me. But it does. Intensely.

Two great traditional football nations with great strips that don’t clash and UEFA dictate that neither can wear them. It just doesn’t look or feel right. We might as well do away with national kits and let UEFA nominate a blue team and a red team before kick off and hand out shirts and shorts.

Let me guess what they’ll be on Sunday? A GOLD ball?

UEFA really are such a bunch of tossers

How was the first 5 minutes?

Unfortunately I fainted after hearing orrible Italian fans booing the Spanish National Anthem.

I’m ok now though. I just hope there is no more tribalism before the game finishes.

I emailed the Guardian shocking to hear

 

[Hugo Rune]

Really enjoying this. Nice contrast in tactics.

Itals on the ropes.

 

[Bry Nylon]

That ball really is shit on tv

 

[Gabbafella]

If we get past Denmark, is there any chance we can just play Ukraine again? I don't fancy our chances against Italy or Spain.

Imagine if the kits were sponsored by Benetton

Italy are really missing their injured right winger whose name escapes me just now. He was their best player in every game so far

 

[Washie]

Both sides looking equally shit at the moment.

I wouldn’t like to be Italy with such a huge unbeaten streak, you know it has to end sometime.

Mussolini?

 

[jcdenton08]

Donna Summer more like. That's the third time he's given the ball away like that

 

[jcdenton08]

Mussolini?

That's the one, I always get him and the other chap mixed up

Really? Here's me thinking Spain have been playing very well...

 

[World of Sport]

What's Simon doing!
Spain must have a better keeper on the bench

Commentators claiming that Felix Brych "is a doctor, so he'll understand aches and pains"

He is a Doctor, but a Doctor of Law so probably not.

I was going to comment this too, then I realised if I started getting bogged down with the inane bollocks these cretins say, I'd miss most of the game looking at this screen

Agree, they've played some very tidy stuff. They do still look dodgy at the back though, got a feeling Italy will score at some point

Do you mean the left back Spinazzola? Can't think of who else you mean.

Agree!

Due to the many many mistakes Italy are making. The same could be said of Italy going the other way due to the mistakes Spain keep making. But both seem to **** up right at the end.
