Well I expected that. However how it got to pens surprised me. Ballotelli could have had the match ball by half time. Although england defends heroically at times the short comings are plain to see.. No natural goal scorer. Devoid of creativity in midfield Italy mighT be poor at the back however, they bossed the game pirlo in particular. And his legs are in a worse state than mine. Until the various factions in English football put aside their petty money driven differences then we will always lag behind. A Gazza or a scholes would walk into today's england squad even at thirty odd year old
Oh no you've done it now, you've shown how little you know about football by suggesting that the useless drunken drug- dealing pile of dog-sh.it known as Gazza would get in this side amongst the super human premier league stars we have playing today. PS. I agree with you.
The fact is european football has evolved whereas the English game is still in the sad stale mess its been in since the 70's. Every game at tournements we look knackered after 60 minutes!!
now we know we are in trouble when a bubble and squeak is lecturing the English on football....woe is us!!
