Wow, huge save my England defender with goalie out of position. Saves a for sure goal from Balotelli.

Great to watch two big time teams with history going at it. First half delivered. Now let's see the second half.

Totally! Wouldn't mind that guy on Benfica if he always plays like that!

 

[bksballer89]

That ball by Rooney was amazing. England looks damn good with these young players such as Sterling, Sturridge, and etc

 

[WizardHawk]

Great goal by Italy

Every bit as good as that Rooney fed goal.

 

[ladyrockess]

Balotelli is the luckiest sod ever. Adopted as a kid you know.

 

[gobigred]

Usually games with England have been pretty boring and low scoring. This game has been much better than I anticipated.


Been a lot of great plays and excitement for both sides.

 

[bksballer89]

No penalty?

 

[bksballer89]

Rooney gotta score that

 

[ladyrockess]

Guess the refs are scared now after the first few matches...

Yea, I guess I would rather them not call it unless completely blatant than give it on a weak call like did for Brazil.
