KING-640 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 LMAO Balotelli was a beast, really awesome play, much respect. Quite a stark contrast to the France game; kid's only 21 too, there's more to come. Also, that shirt-off stunt was a stupid way to get a yellow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some manger referred to him as talented, immature and petulant all in 30 seconds. Even his current manager wants to slap him everyday. Me, I glad we have characters in the sport and I love the stories, ie him and the female prison and the time his mum sent him to John Lewis, look them up if you don't know. best 5 minutes you will have this month.

capt_chaos Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Nice goal yes, but Zlatan Ibrahimovics against England was 5x better His best goal was against France. So subjectively speaking, who scored the goal of the tournament. Ibra's was good, very good, but it had no pressure to it, Sweden were going on holiday already and you can try beach shots. So far I think Super Mario's second against the Germans, Andy Carrol's header purely for the ball in and the execution and Gomez against Holland with a special mention to VDV vs Portugal. Player of the tournament, Pirlo. Easily. Amazing when you think that his early scouting cards read Cannot tackle cannot run. His passing and how he not only dictates how his opponents play but his own team is something to behold, it is like there is Football and there is Pirlo Football. I knew he was good but something about this tournament has shown him to be the chess player that lifts Italy. Let down of the tournament, Dutch, Russians and Croatians.

I think Ibrahimovic's goal was the best so far, and I don't believe that it was created as part of an absence of pressure. He does that sort of shit all the time, that was classic Zlatan. Agree with everything about Pirlo though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveoffutbol Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Their defense and some of the midfield just looked exhausted and 3 subs in 45 minutes plus one messing up their hamstring forcing them to play the last half hour down a man did not help matters but Spain put on a clinic despite being outpossessed when it was 11v 11.
