Let me just say that the Italians aren't helping their reputation as divers based on some of their actions today against Sweden.

edit: As I type, Sweden opens the scoring.

Wow, Italy so close to tying, but Darmian finds the woodwork.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

That was pathetic.

I'm betting 2 nil Italy in the return leg.

England and Germany draw nil-nil - Well, that result should get the English hype machine rolling.

Sid on Tim & Sid - Insigne doesn't start the game - Sometimes I think you want to fail.

No Insigne until late, didn't put in Florenzi, SES not even there.

Just brutal.

Hey @jstewismybastardson, any idea what the Italian fans are shouting when the Swedish kicker is performing a goal kick? I don't think it's "You fat bastard"

There could have been two penalty kicks awarded in this game (one for each side) and we're only 13 minutes in.

Think the ref's of the mind that "I ain't touching any of this with a 10 foot pole".

This ref doesn't like awarding penalty kicks, but he doesn't hesitate with the yellow card lol

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

That one I think was a pen.

Someone's getting a red here.
