damn, tied

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Stupid ref fell for that Italian dive.

 

[alphatarget1]

The Italian national diving team should not play soccer, and instead do what they do best- diving.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I hate to beat a dead horse but seriously, fuck these vuvuzelas.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

This might be a dumb question, but what's the deal with the yellow arm bands?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

These Italians sure do love to ham it up when they go down.

Probably attended the Argentine school of diving.

Don't the captains wear them?

they are captains.

Don't the captains wear them?

yup.

if the team wears yellow the band is blue.

captains generally should be the only players on the field talking to the Ref

Captain

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Sad that Italy has to cheat to score a goal.

 

[Zargon]

he shouldnt have been grabbing on the jersey, so he was asking for a penalty call

Very traditional of them

 

[dbk]

Di Rossi is a cheat!!!

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Maybe, but I don't see how the ref could have seen that.

You could see the other Italian players congratulating the diver for a job well done.

 

[sdifox]

Di Rossi is a cheat!!!

That's not a fair assessment. It's the whole team :biggrin:

 

[dbk]

What's going to happen if he gets fouled hard? Death?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

This ref is nuts.

 

[Glitchny]

The Italians are embarrassing to the game with all their pathetic diving. I'd be ashamed to be a fan of their team, hoping they get eliminated. It's sad when every commenter watching the game talks about how sad Italy is.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Another dive.

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn, just woke up a few minutes ago. Pretty shocked it's tied, I thought the All Whites were supposed to be close to the worst team at the tournament.

Italians look pretty lifeless.

[KeithTalent]

Holy crap, nice save!

[ElFenix]

they need to show that blonde italian girl again (72nd~73rd minute)


that guy didn't get touched in the face and of course he's holding it like he got punched in the nose.

 

[bigrash]

damn how close was that?

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow, so close to being 2-1. Great effort by the Kiwis there.
