Italy v. New Zealand (R)

[Sporthead]

Montilivo smacks the post from 40 yards

 

[Foo]

Montolivo hits the post with a long distance shot

NZ with a clear line of 3 in front of the goal, a line of 4 a very short distance in front of them, and 3 'attackers' defending halfway in their half..looks like a sort of 7-3-0 formation

 

[Foo]

Penalty for Italy

 

[Sporthead]

That's bullshit!

 

[Sporthead]

He went down like a 2 dollar hooker! Bunch of fucking pansies!

 

[Foo]

Smith was pulling his shirt so it was a foul, but De Rossi did fall too eagerly. Still, that's De Rossi's experience doing the work
Iaquinta scores the penalty, 1-1

Whether it was a penalty or not, the goal was gonna come at some point. U can't play with a 7-3-0 for 90 minutes and not concede, unless you're very very very very lucky

 

[Sporthead]

What was with that goal celebration??? Vuvuzela impersonation?

I know mate NZ is not going to win in a million years, but you'd expect the "world champions" to at least not rely on their diving skills against a football minnow!

hahahaha yea..

penalty was a penalty guys, these fucking NZ players are playing rugby, swinging elbows and grabbing shirts.

 

[Sporthead]

LOL, NZ still with every man behind the ball. Including coaches and subs!

 

[Sporthead]

penalty was a penalty guys.

Only cause De Rossi went down like a cheap hooker! If he'd stayed on his feet like a man maybe the free kick would've gone the other way like the USA-Slovenia game!

 

[Sporthead]

De Rossi again thinks he's from Bahrain! That was probably a free kick, but when you act like you've been directly hit with a scud missile then I have no sympathy for you!

De Rossi is a professional footballer who used his professionalism in the right place and time, the NZ defender shouldnt have done that. professionalism prevails over amateurism

You're right, but if we stopped glorifying CHEATING by referring to it as "professionalism" then maybe we could stop it from happening!

 

[Sporthead]

De Rossi uses actual football skills and almost scores! Good save by NZ keeper!

 

[Sporthead]

Half time 1-1

NZ goal was probably offside

Italy equalised from "questionable" penalty!

Fair result, entertaining game!

Sporthead jan, this is no cheating, the NZ defender clearly hold De Rossis shirt and he used the oppurtinity and fell down, this is mistake from the part of the NZ defender.
