*********** ENGLAND v ITALY (QF) - Kiev *************

[PILTDOWN MAN]

This.

He was dog shit for the entire 120 minutes

totally agree. Added to that Young FFS he's crap.

 

[Falkor]

Italy should have won in 90mins if not 120mins so tbh a defeat was a fair result at the end of the day

 

[TottonSeagull]

Ashley Cole - shades of Stuart Pearce

No way, Pearce was a good player, Young is a poor player, has been all tournament

 

[stickboy]

If ashley young has had a bad game tournament then you don't let him take a spot kick. Shocking. our midfield is shocking. Parker? says it all really. night.

 

[The Terminator]

Every f***ing time

 

[El Presidente]

Pirlo is as cool as f***, Ryan Harley take note.

 

[inland seagull]

come on then Mr Hodgson explain why the longer the game went on the more outplayed we were

 

[fleet]

Not bad until Rooney came back into the team

What are you talking about? Parker was one of our better players. Stick to letting your misses drive you about!

 

[clapham_gull]

Oh well, we did OK to get this far

Yes exactly. Quite a few positives to take out of this tournament I think. The mentality for one and Roy to get us this far after such a pre-tournament shambles.

Anyway never been a fan of international football. Hopefully Vicente will sign in the next few days and I'll forget about the Euros.

 

[vegster]

We did about the best we could, I feel for Ashley Cole, did he ask to take a penalty or was he selected to take one ?

 

[fleet]

Rooney, Young, Welbeck, Milner all pants sadly.

 

[Simster]

come on then Mr Hodgson explain why the longer the game went on the more outplayed we were

He doesn't really have the players, does he? Hodgson has managed well IMO

Prat is what says it all about you really ffs, Parker is a fantastic player anyone that says different knows f*** all about football

 

[hart's shirt]

Completely outpassed and outplayed.

It's not always that penalties result in the right team going through, but justice was served tonight.

 

[Bean]

People saying Ashley Cole is shit know nothing about football.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Yep. I have to say that, for that reason, this is a relatively easy defeat to swallow for me. We got exactly what we deserved, any penalty shoot out victory for England would have been a complete injustice.

 

[El Presidente]

Joe Hart watched every Italian penalty for the last ten years.

Buffon just watched porn in his hotel. Proof, not that it is needed, of the power of grumbleflickss

 

[El Presidente]

People saying Ashley Cole is shit know nothing about football.

People who don't know the difference between Ashley Cole and Ashley Young know even less!
