    Just got home there to watch the game, so I have missed the first 60minutes.

    So what have I missed?

    Are Italy playing good or are Germany just unlucky?

    What was Balotelli's goals like?
    His second was a great goal

    thought they would get that free kick but if italy got a break i could see another italia goal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    Really took his time there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    That was a well struck free kick. Buffon did what he had to.

    Does anyone know if Badstuber is left footed ?

    Yes, he is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,096 ✭✭✭An Citeog


    Boateng is absolutely shocking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Should be 3. Piss poor defending yet again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭asdfgh86


    The Italians more than deserve their place in the final based on their performances so far.

    Guessing Di Natale could come on at 70mins if still 2-0? Just to save Balotelli from something stupid.

    Woo hoo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,968 ✭✭✭aindriu80


    then he limps off :D

    Imagine Dunphy updating his FIFA 12 players stats . .

    Germany team -
    • Average ratings for players before this game 85
    • Average ratings for players at half time 65
    • Average ratings for players if they somehow get back in and win 99
    • Average ratings for players if they lose 39
    And as for Ronaldo
    • Start of season for Madrid - 80 (doesnt do it in big games)
    • End of season for Madrid - 90 (did it in some big games)
    • Start of tournament - 82 (doesnt do it for Portugal)
    • Before Spain game - 91 (Portugals best player)
    • After spain game - 76 (goes missing when they need him most!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Strange sub .


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    That was one of the strangest refereeing decisions I've seen.

    Motta took him down really late- got a free. :confused:

    No reason to put that much power behind the ball back from Lahm.

    Claims that the panel are obsessed with him seems like projection to me as nobody from RTE has mentioned him and he has been mentioned constantly in here.

    Lads, Ronaldo isn't playing. Lets just discuss this game shall we? It's quite a good one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    Bar two HORRIBLE mistakes for 2 goals Germany have been a far superior team all over the pitch don't let 2-0 cloud your judgement.

    there in lies the beauty of football


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    A german goal would make this a bit more interesting.

    He's no Messi. Lets just leave it at that.

    Jaysus Marchisio


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    AGh, should be 3-0!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,968 ✭✭✭aindriu80


    how did marchisimo miss that ? should be 3-0 with those misses


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    What are German defenders at ?

    Game needs a Germany goal.

    So does this mean that our group was the group of death? :pac:

    Think they at least need 2 TBH


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,379 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Best corner all night. Can't believe Kroos got to whip in 7 ****e balls before they changed the taker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭asdfgh86

    It means that we were the 4th best team in the tournament

    Germany won't score tonight.

    Tempting fate

    It definitely makes it funny that before the tournament lots of Irish fans thought Italy weren't that good and we could get something out of that game.

    What a ball by Pirlo....just...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭asdfgh86


    Pirlo....that is all

    Perfectly weighted pass if there ever was one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Italy have been superb. Discipline the key to victory it seems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Its a privilege watching Pirlo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,255 ✭✭✭Renn


    Well at least Pirlo has wrapped up the player of the tournament award.

    If they scored now, I'd fancy them to get a second but it needs to come in the next couple of minutes. Doesn't look like it will.

    Much as I hate lazy football racial stereotypes, Italian teams really do know how to defend.

    Actually it is if you score more goals than the other team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭asdfgh86


    The slippiness of the pitch is a joke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Pirlo V Iniesta on Sunday could be rather tasty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭yomtea98


    Should have scored
