Wow pirlo

Amazing goal.

Giaccherini is Italy's Muntari.

yeah, all this hard work..but it never converts to anything


Penality for mexico

Barzagli fucks up.

Though every time I see him since his book come out I have a strong urge to

Me too.

As for the goal, the keeper didn't look brilliant with that goal.

The shot was too fast, he never had any chance.

Yeah, Pirlo took it brilliantly. funny that the so called free kick specialist scored so few goals like that in his last few seasons with us even though he was our principal FK taker.

Giaccherini must be Prandelli's lover. that's why he takes him anywhere with Italy. he's so **** he makes Diamanti look like a decent player.

balo is dying to take a freekick hahahah

Will Balo ever learn to cool the **** down after every small and pointless incident?

Prandelli's worse than Allegri with subs.

DS playing really well.

Well at least he's finally decided to stop wasting his best CB out on the left side and playing Bonucci in the centre instead.

The Giaccherini thing is just plain baffling though

He's been great. Really everything about him..indicates that he's going to be a great player.

bad sub lol

Bring El Sha instead of Giaccherini already!

nevaaaaa

Dat ref...

BALO!

balooooooooooooo!!!


Speaking of milan players, abate has been very mediocre today

This is what worried me about Cerci when we were linked to him, he might have had a good season with his just promoted side, but he's nothing more than average, just shined in a team that lacked any decent quality.

I seriously wonder why with every tournament there are spots wasted on a team on these types of players as they ALWAYS fizzle out and disappoint.

Balo goal.

Cerci are we seriously after this guy?

Honda was crap last night too.

I think he's been good, just quiet. He's kept his side of the pitch trouble free, so defensively it's a solid performance, he just hasn't had the opportunity to really bomb down his flank like he usually does with us, instead they're going up through the left side. Something we don't do which is why with Milan DS looks like the quieter one because we mostly go through the right

Han, did you miss Abate's mistake where Guardado hit the post? not that trouble free.

Carci is 2 steps behind his team mates' thought processes. We seriously cannot be after this guy

Hmm, yep, could have. Did this happen in the first half because I missed a few minutes of that to get something to eat

But since I've been here, he's been good, so that doesn't count

Abate - average to bad display; Dos Santos didn't attack to often, but when he decided to pressure him, he usually came away with the ball or at least a free kick.

Montolivo - would have expected more presence out of him and more precision, but a solid performance.

Balotelli - again, match-winner, but the man should grow up; pointless debates, creating a sour atmosphere with his constant quarreling, and a pointless yellow card as well.

De Sciglio - very good performance, that's the way! Hopefully Prandelli will keep picking him instead of the other options.

I wasn't thinking "he can't be so biased!" so you missed it. apart from that fuckup he was good. I'm baffled to see the likes of Giaccherini, Cerci and Gilardino there though. I really don't want Prandelli at Milan anymore. there's something about him that I don't enjoy, he seems more suited to be a Juve coach. besides, with all the **** players we have, there's no guarantee he won't have his Muntari's and Niang's to torture us with.

Oh yes, one detail...why is De Rossi playing with a long left sleeve and a short right? I did mention this earlier as well.

We're not after him anymore, since we decided to switch back to 4-3-1-2.

The amazing thing about Pirlo is that, at his age, he's played nearly every game with both Juventus and Italy this season, and at such a period he's still in top form. Just amazing.

Agreed about Balo and DS, Balo's contstant yellow card accumulation is just ridiculous. I think he has 1 for each game he's played for us, and to get one for something as ridiculous as taking your shirt off just p!sses me off badly.

I seriously hope that this game was a good enough eye opener for Prandelli. The back 4 should stay as is for the rest of this tournament barring suspension/injury. To put Chiellini - who is easily the best CB on this team - out wide and play a bone head of Bonucci's calibre in the centre, is just baffling. DS proved himself tonight that he's ready to be a starter on that left side, and unless Santon is on the team his position should not even be in question.

As for Abate and Monto, I think they both had decent to solid performances. Abate didn't really get to stretch his legs and do what he does best and while I did not witness his mistake I thought that otherwise he was solid defensively. Nothing great but did his job well. As for Monto, I think you're being a bit too harsh on him, he can't be the focal point of this team and step up because unlike Milan, this team is not centred around him. He's just a lateral albeit important puzzle piece of that midfield, just like De Rossi and Marchisio.

What I find even more amazing is the fact that this was a player with the "injury-prone" stamp. Yet another mysterious MilanLab story.

Anyone watching Spain and Uruguay? Spain makes me frustrated. I can easily seen them winning yet again next year in Brazil. But their body language alone (the constant falling and appealing to the referee) is irritating enough alone to be against them, at least if you ask me.

Yeah I hate them.

When we played them in a friendly they showed no respect whatsoever. Its like they're not allowed to lose, their players acted like they'd just been cheated out of winning the World Cup. Next World Cup it's really anyone but Spain (and Argentina, and Germany).

Balotelli: "I won't remove the shirt anymore"

Link

Yes, because that would mean one match suspension. Thank god he managed this conclusion. What a man!

No, I think he meant like, ever.

Les Bleus?

I would be worried if they weren't a bigger joke than England of late. France's biggest enemy is France, they just seemto implode more often than not.

Do we still own Oduamadi? He's incredibly crap. I'd have scored 2 hat tricks with the chances he's had.

yes.

He always was crap.

Nigeria - Tahiti was pretty entertaining, if Spain play anything like their first team it will be ridiculous though, easily double figures.

Really enjoyed the Confed Cup so far, it's like teams aren't that afraid of losing unlike the major International competitions so just go out and play.

Woop Woop! Australia is through to World Cup

Still think you should have stayed beating American Samoa 31-0 each time

Why on earth is Tahiti taking part of this tournament? So they can get their asses handed over to them each frigging game? Disgraceful. I wonder how many Spain will score past them...

@ ari

But Australia did it at the expense of Iraq, right? how do you feel now?

Disgraceful? I think you're overreacting. When they scored their first goal they celebrated like they've won the World Cup. Let them be, they take joy in playing and it's their premier FIFA appearance, so for them it's historical.

Reward for winning their regional tournament. They have more right to be there than Italy.
