[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Told you, absolute racing certainty

 

[Beach Hut]

Mario will see red any minute in my view

 

[Max Paper]

what a save

 

[Dave the OAP]

Cassias...what a save

 

[Frutos]

Cracking save from Casillas there....0-0 at halftime.

I like the pace of the game but it has been a bit scrappy. Italy have been excellent so far.

 

[W.C.]

It's not great but it's not terrible either.

Love seeing Iniesta skipping past players.

Agreed. the italians snap in to tackles but do it fairly (most of the time) but DESPERATE for the draw as my V Cash is a little low

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That 365.com ad they flashed up at half-time says Italy are 5/1 to win the game in-play. Seems ridiculously over-priced to me. They are making far more of their chances than Spain are.

Ballotelli, proof that it is possible to fall asleep standing up and playing football.

 

[Davemania]

Comical from balotelli, jogging towards goal like he's the only player on the pitch, he had AGES to shoot

 

[Northstander]

Balotelli is on cloud cuckoo land at times

 

[Frutos]

That one had been coming - the benefits of actually playing a striker.

Spain 0-1 Italy

 

[Dave the OAP]

Wooohooo. Great goal Italy.

 

[brightn'ove]

Goal music ...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Such a good through ball...

 

[Frutos]

Then again....

 

[Don Quixote]

What are they DOING!??!?!?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Another good through ball, game on!
