Disappointing 2nd half from Ash, barely touched the ball. Milner on for his England debut after 50-odd appearances for the U21s! YAY!

I didn't know he's never played for the first team, I could have sworn he had. Carlton Cole nearly proved me wrong that would have been some goal. As for the scoreline Tennie just posted, wow, who are Spain playing?! |

QUOTE (Milan Are Brilliant @ Aug 12 2009, 09:04 PM) Carlton Cole?! Seriously, we might as well start playing Jermaine Beckford and Rickie Lambert... That's why he's playing and not them. That was genius to be fair, very unlucky not to score! |

If Eurosport is right, it's mostly the first team - the only big change I see is Pepe Reina in goal.

2-2 Defoe! Again! Give him a start next time Fabio!
Great play from Milner. |

FT 2-2. Surprisingly we were the better side over the 90 I reckon, Capello really has done better than I could ever have imagined. Nice to see Jimmy have a good debut.
Downside of tonight is our lead in our WCQ group has been cut to 7 points. But with only 3 games remaining and a massively superior GD, we can't mess it up again. Can we? Just seeing the 2nd goal back, I like how Defoe didn't even aknowledge Milner after he bust his *** off to get the ball and then set him up. Self absorbed tosser.

So, FT Mexico 2 - 1 USA
Not a painful result given that it was at the Azteca in Mexico City, where the US has never won. Close game, a brawl or two, some nasty fouls, etc. Mexico got the winner in the 85th or so. Good game to watch. EDIT: And, totally unrelated, here are datasport's player ratings for Italy. Buffon 7 - Aveva detto di volersi migliorare ancora. Oggi lo ha dimostrato con alcune buone parate. Zambrotta 7 - Spinge come un forsennato sulla fascia destra. E’ in grande forma, speriamo di vederlo così anche in campionato. Santon 6 - Entra per far rifiatare Zambrotta mostrandosi diligente. Cananvaro 7 - Meriterebbe un dieci solo per aver superato Maldini nelle presenze in Nazionale ma qui valutiamo solo la prestazione. Bravo a dirigere con scioltezza la retroguardia. Chiellini 6.5 - Sotto le direttive del capitano offre una buona prova, qualche sbavatura che però riesce sempre a correggere. Criscito 6 - Non spinge come Zambrotta, fatica a proporsi in avanti nonostante una buona prova in fase difensiva. Camoranesi s.v. - Costretto a lasciare il campo prematuramente per un dolore alla caviglia. Pepe 6.5 - come si dice in questi casi mette un po’ di “sale” alla gara anche se al 90’ ha l’occasione più ghiotta della gara e l’attaccante dell’Udinese la manda fuori. Pirlo 6.5 - Metronomo del centrocampo parte a razzo per verticalizzare immediatamente gli attaccanti. A fine primo tempo gli manca il fiato. D’Agostino 6 - Nello stesso ruolo di Pirlo si mostra un ottimo cambio. Palombo 6.5 - Ha davvero un incredibile quantità di fiato. 90’ da vero corridore. Marchsio 7 - Per essere all’esordio offre una prestazione straordinaria, verticalizza e poi si propone in avanti. Sfiora anche la rete. Grosso 6.5 - Pochi minuti a disposizione conditi però da alcune progressioni davvero strepitose. Gilardino 5.5 -E’ l’unico che nei primi 20’, i migliori della gara, non ingrana. Troppo distante dagli schemi di Lippi. Iaquinta 5.5 - Pronti via e nel giro di quarto d’ora si mangia tre occasioni da rete nitide. Gli manca l’incisività. Rossi 6.5 - Pepito Rossi si scatena come al solito, le occasioni migliori passano dai suoi piedi. Quagliarella 5.5 - Non convince in pieno, ha giocato da poco col Napoli e durante la preparazione avere così tante partite una dietro all’altra non fa bene.

Criscito got a 6?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm sure now that the guy who comes up with these is the same one that's randomly picked to write about zodiac signs...
The kid was amazing, great debut. |

It's Marchisio they gave the kudos to (a 7 on his debut). Lippi went out of his way to praise him in the interview I saw a bit ago on skytg24.
