Spain v Italy (7.45pm, Live on BBC1 and ITV1)
Bookmakers make Spain the favourites at 2.2 to win in normal time, but their are plenty of reasons to believe that Italy are worth a punt at 3.75 with bet365 and Paddy Power to come out on top.
They put in an encouraging performance against the world champions in the opening game in the Group stages when drawing 1-1, and since then have improved with every game.
Cesare Prandelli’s side has defended strongly in every match but unlike previous Italian sides have also shown plenty of attacking flair.
They easily brushed aside Ireland, outclassed England and fully deserved their 2-1 semi-final win over Germany when playing some outstanding football.
The Azzurri are the form team of the tournament, and the stats are also good as far as they are concerned.
Spain have met Italy seven times before in major tournaments and never managed an outright win. Their only success was in a penalty shootout at Euro 2008 in the quarter-finals following a 0-0 draw.
Italy have also lost only two of their last 19 matches outright at Euro finals and I think they have been underestimated by the old enemy.
They also have a midfield maestro in Andrea Pirlo who has been outstanding and dictated the tempo in every game he has played so far.
The Juventus player has scored a goal, provided 2 assists and has a remarkable 87% pass success rate.
He is a 21 chance with bet365 to net the opener, but it’s Italy’s star striker Mario Balotelli that appeals as the punt in that market at 8.5 with Boylesports.
The Manchester City man missed a hatful of chances against England, but made no mistake when bagging two against Germany in a match which saw him raise his game to another level.
I think he can lead his team to victory in 90 minutes, as I have failed to be impressed by the Spaniards to this point.
OK, the world and European champions have continued their amazing run in competitive matches since losing to Switzerland in their opening game of the 2010 World Cup and are now unbeaten in 19 (won 17).
But both the draws have come at this tournament – 1-1 against Italy in the group stage and 0-0 against Portugal in the semi-finals (won on penalties) – and they have not looked at their best.
Their demolition of lowly Ireland and a troubled French side proved very little, and they failed to sparkle until extra-time in their semi-final against Portgual.
Coach Vicente del Bosque is also likely to retain the 4-6-0 formation employed then in this, and that is a tactic that didn’t work particularly well against Italians in the group game.
If the same Italian side that we saw in the semis turns up again then I think they are more than capable of beating the Spaniards, and if they do get their noses in front they have the defensive qualities to hang on.
Italy to win 2-0 or 2-1 is my idea of the outcome, and those scorelines can be backed at 18 and 16 respectively with Betfred.

Spain or Italy?
Plague or pest?
Glad this boring tournament has come to an end.
Our boys stayed injury free. As far as I’m concerned WE had a great tournament.
Any team/event < UNITED
Forza Italia
The Anti ABU Sicilian Division have finished their home work and all is in place……..Don Pirlo will run the show
We will see Balotti get frustrated this time lol .
Cedars
Yes mate Seri Yus Lee, he was part of the Park Ji Sung deal. Sold him for £900m.
Stone Roses today!!! Can’t fucking wait!!!!!
Sorry, but is it today or tomorrow?
You green loving beauty, its tomorrow, but I guess admin got a bit of an itchy ass
Mike
Remember Bruce Lee from the 70′s? Always rated him more than Seri Yus Lee to be honest……Played the ‘hole’ to perfection
thats right ceadars. he was great at over heard kicks too
Italy will win. Spain may try to bore dem out with their tiki taka bullshit but them italianos are patient. Pique is shit, ramos is an accident waiting to happen.
Forza italia
Good morning dip shits
Wouldn’t urge anyone to bet on it, but for me, the biggest certainity going into the match is that Balotelli will either win it or blow it for Italy.
Costas
Seems you have gone for a safe 50/50 mate……..Wise

Very busy today lads, but I’ll leave you with this article. Robbo defending Rooney from the ABUs.

Just another reason to worship, love and adore the fucking floor that Robbo steps on
Balotelli this balotelli that ……. Not again!!!
The OP will hardly see the ball vs the impressively technical tik-tak brigade
One more thing is him played up front on his own definitely will be sent off.
I hear baines is at carrington today for a medical? I just hope were not paying 17 million for him?
Chiko
Why not? Mario plays for city, i.e. our insignificant rivals so making fun of him is all part of the fun

Bruce Lee raped shit at martial arts, best karate movies ever made RIP
Instead of betting on games, how about we all chip in and buy a midfielder? Obviously I mean Strootman.
I would seriously sell my soul to the devil (Just as long as she’s a female) Just to fund buying Strootman for me Cyril
Cedars – apparently the devil looks like Liz Hurley. I saw it in a film with Brendan Fraser so it must be true. Make of that what you will
Cyril
In which case I would happily go to hell and sign that 7000 page document of hers….. Me and Liz for eternity…..! What a thought!
Off for me shopping, back later you RED nuts
A Rangers supporter was in the Post office to send a package to his bother in Northern Ireland and asked that the stamps be the Queens jubilee issue as his brother would like that.
Cant be done said the postmaster were out of them all that’s left are ones with the popes head.
What.I cant send them my brother will go tonto.
All we’ve got sorry.
He reluctantly takes them then starts complaining these fucking stamps wont fucking stick.
The postmaster say’s Your spitting on the wrong side.
Slow day.
Some interesting tweets from Rio:
“All this talk about we have teams who can keep the ball like swansea,man utd,city,AFC etc. how many english players start in those teams?
Swansea probably kept the ball better than any english team but had no players in our squad. Leon britton was the xavi of the PL last year!
1st questions most of our coaches/scouts ask ‘Can he RUN,TACKLE,HEAD IT, is he BIG+QUICK’. PASSING,TOUCH,AWARENESS,SKILL etc are an after thought.”
United and City do have a few English midfielders, but overall, he hit the nail on the head.
Well, it turns out I was right about Cristiano demanding the 5th penalty:
http://espnfc.com/en/news/1119750/bento-suggests-ronaldo-deserves-ballon-dor.html
Like I said, he wanted the cameras to be on him for the winning penalty.
Statistically, it is highly likely that the 3rd or 4th penalty taker will be more important – after all, it takes a lot of nerve at that point if your team is up or down by a penalty. Think of Pirlo taking the 3rd penalty against Joe Hart. He knew it was critical and said afterwards that he knew there wold be a psychological impact to chipping it in. THAT to me takes a real leader with real guts.
And it’s where Cristiano falls a little short, with all his extravagant gifts, iron determination, hard work and smart play on the field
Strong words from Leo Ferdinand! Nice to hear someone TELL IT LIKE IT IS! #oooooffffff! #deeeeeeeecent!
and although I formatted that comment like a Leo Ferdinand tweet, my message was 100% sincere.
Rio is the best, especially when he has zany adventures on http://www.AgentofFergie.com
#StayOnYourFeet
@gazzer
There can be many different reasons why a player asked to take the 5th penalty (for only the 2nd time in his career may I add). If Ronaldo wanted the glory, he would have done the same in the Real/Bayern shootout. Plus, like you said, other penalties can be more crucial. The 5th isn’t guaranteed to turn you into a hero. Portugal might have won it by the 4th penalty for all we know. Anyway, Ronaldo did well enough to take Portugal to the semis imo and there are few doubts about his leadership qualities.
@costas
Yes, I take your point, there’s more than one interpretation.
It’s just that the 5th penalty takes is the one most likely to be the winner (good for Ronaldo) and it is also by far the most likely one NOT to be taken (as in this case) where all the blame falls on the poor bastards that missed. When England lost to Italy, we don’t remember who took our 5th penalty (nobody did), but we remember Ashleys Cole and Young for their misses.
Cristiano is one of the iciest cool people out there and should not have been wasted.
One thing for sure is that people will start paying more attention to the order in future.
@gazzer
Ronaldo going last was definitely a mistake. Another interpretation could be that after missing the 1st for Real last month, he prefered to strike a penalty last. If he’s superstitious that is. Honestly, I doubt we will ever know the full story. Even if Nani is telling the truth, we don’t know why Ronaldo insisted on it. The Portuguese have a lot to be proud for, but if they are wondering where the penalties went wrong, I’d look no further than Bento personally. The order was wrong, one of the 2 subs should have taken one instead of Alves and if he allowed any player to make up his mind, that’s even worse. As for Ronaldo, I’d blame him more for that miss at the end of the 90. That was Portugal’s best chance in the game imo and he showed uncharacteristic eagerness.
cedars
bruce lee was the man!!! was my hero since i was a boy, fuckin loved that guy.tony jaa is unblieveable too if uve ever seen him? mui thai shit kicks ass!
Spain is hanen this cup thier hands,onless they want balo to collect it from them.
That geezer who put Rafael Nadal out in the last round just got whupped. Makes his win over nandrolone head even funnier.
Sir Bobby Charlton is at Wimbledon!
Enter the Dragon greatest martial arts movie ever,3 Lions amazing thing about Ong Bak no trick camera work Tony Jaa did all those stunts.
Don’t give a fuck who wins the Euro don’t want to see Mario draped in glory,horrible cunt so i guess Spain lesser of 2 evils
Love it how Freddy Fred holds the fort when things are quiet………… Just bought a shit load of groceries, no seriously I mean SHIT loads……Got me mates coming over later, a bitter and two renties. Always fun and a good laugh, proper lads and not ones that just on the bandwagon, all three have supported their clubs for over 30 years…………The banter is always to die for, at times literally!! ha ha ha I just feel like throwing one of the fuckers off my balcony!! ha ha ha
wayne
I lost count on the number of times I watched Enter the Dragon, had it on VHS and I wore that tape down! Have not seen it for years though
why is the Portuguese 5th penalty a talking point?
Simple.it’s because it ronaldo . and he preens around like a cock.
Captain of Portugal for fucks sake.
ahjs summed him in the nani thread.
I remember posters getting a lot of stick for interpreting what they saw as Ronnie gunning for the flashlight after the match.
Nani comes out and gives his view NOT an opinion -which lends credence to what alto of people thought.Suddenly he’s not a reliable and what he says should be taken with a pitch of salt.
Someone who was involved with the team suddenly talking thrash? Please.
can’t believe howmuch fans are willing to brown nose Ronnie. always aligning themselves to him. Fact. He played for United and will ultimately have had some of his best years with us.
Nothing will change that. We are the reason he’s what he is today. All in all im glad we don’t have to deal with his ego circus. he fits just right at Madrid
For the memories

Wayne I was born late 61, Kato on the Green Hornet was my favorite TV star. Loved Kung Fu later to find it was Bruce who came up with the story line.
Water move with the moment.
Bruce is on my Mt Rushmore of Cool!
Cedars same here mate rates as one of my most watched movies alondside A Clockwork Orange and Godfather parts 1 & 2.
speaking of martial arts I remember my brother and I getting excited about getting the Bruce Lee plimsolls. Awesome times
I still remember as a kid every time I came home from watching a Bruce Lee movie I just wanted to kick the shit out of someone!! ha ha ha
Stan the man Wayne. My 1st viewing of the Orange, wow I was 15.
I went on a Stan rant a few days ago.
This is my rifle this is my gun.
One is for fighting one is for fun.
Tree so spot fucking on. I did. 3 kids down the block!!! hehe
Zibbie Bruce Lee was supposed to play the lead in Kung Fu but in those days it had alot of racist undertones,Hollywood had alot of white guys playing other races.The classic in my book,John Wayne as Genghis Khan
Tree this guy lived 5 houses down where I grew up. Imagine Irish-German catholic families of 5 to 14 kids.

Always had a pair as a kid mate!!
My Dick
Bloody hell mate, I bet no one ever fucked with them eh?
Zibbie the Orange was a obession,i was 13 when it first got released in those days paid for a ticket and could sit in the theaters through all showings,was banned in England a couple of weeks after release.I had the bowler hat,boots,grandad vest,the whole deal,lol.I have the original poster worth anywere between 3 to 4 k now.
Wayne how cool. My dad was a dark dago democrat who was given a chance in life through sport and his 180 + IQ when tested in the Corp for WWII. He told me the first time he was not treated as a second class citizen. Came out a Captain. I will look for your book. Love the title.
Zibbie,John Wayne played Genghis Khan in a movie called The Conqueror has the slant eyes and all that,it’s fucking funny but also a sad statement of America back then
Tree oh know hands flew Mike fought these 3 older dudes all the time at 17 he started kicking their ass’s.
My older brothers and their sick friends would fuck with us all the time.
In the mid summer 90 degrees, give me 5 min to go home get my winter cloths on and hide in the woods. Then they would come and hunt me with BB and pellet guns. The winter cloths so mom would not get mad fishing BB’s from my flesh.
John was 2 years my senior. On the football field as a sophomore I beat his ass. On the mat he beat my ass.

Nobody will ever top Bruce Lee in Kung Fu movies but let’s have a little love for Jackie before he moved west:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE6jYJb4_Tc
I remember after leaving England in the late 80′s I went back two years later to find that my sister in law (Bless her) had thrown away all the match day programs I had collected over the years!! Fuck my life, what a treasure that would have been…….

To the Scottish-Zulu warrior.
Cyril
Jackie is without doubt a legend, funny as fuck too………..Bugger does all his stunts
Sneer luv for the genera
RoM….. Just a place where a bunch of happy bouncing REDS get together for a bit of debate, fun and banter
Bruce in a weird way helped make me $2400 at the first Mixed Martial Arts fights in Denver around 93 or 94 when Gracie won. I bet on the graplers and everyone else bet on the strikers. Saw the 2nd one live.
Nice to see a thread without a single Rooney bashing…………
For Zibbie & Jimmy James
ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY
Personally I don’t feel the need to brown nose Ronaldo. Nor any United current or ex UNited player. Maybe some fans still feel the need to take shots at him 3 years after he decided the grass was greener elsewhere. Why is it that no one questions who was the 5th taker for England against Italy? Was he a bottler? Was he looking for glory? Maybe every 5th taker in penalty shoot out history has looked for glory? For me the subject is closed. Ronaldo is an egomaniac (just as much as he’s a world class player), but lets not act like he’s the only one ffs.
Costas
You sounded like a man with something on his chest mate……….Glad you got it out…..Fuck em all I tell ya!!
Costas
Another thing, England never make it to the 5th penalty mate! Hence, no issues there!! ha ha ha
costas
that’s exactly my point pal. why is Portugal/Ronaldo’s any different. and you said. it’d because of his ego.
For the record I wasn’t referring to any of your posts with the brown nose comment.
The matter may be closed but that doesn’t mean Ronnie didn’t have a helping hand in fucking up Portugal penalties.
Absolutely loved his time with us but I’ve moved on and that means I can call him out when he ducks up.
Surprised Nanis comments have been met with indifference.
*fucks
Whether Ronaldo took a penalty or not, it’s completely irrelevant. Ronaldo has missed penalties in big games, he may have lacked confidence to step up and he’d probably have had it saved. I don’t understand the aggro towards him. Yes he may have an ego but majority of great players do.
There’s something about Ronaldo and penalties in important matches.
saved us.
Remember CL Semi vs. Barca he missed one before Scholes scored that wonder goal.
CL Final vs. Chelsea missed a penalty in the shootout before VanD and JT
Missed against Bayern for Real this year.
May be that has something to do with him not taking penalty early.
Not sure why but I have the feeling that Kagawa will rape shit next season………..Better them bitters, renties and gooners watch out…. We’re after your ass….
Got me bitter mate here already giving it all large about them winning the league……….aarrrggg its painful
@Costas – keep it on subject mate. It’s a martial arts thread
For all those “older” reds fans of Lee, you must check out Ong Bak if you haven’t done so already. I know it was mentioned earlier, but Tony Jaa is the real deal
@Cedars
Nah, it’s ok. I took a comment too personally for the wrong reasons. It’s all good. Good point about England’s 5th penalty though.
@slim
Sorry mate, but since I had the only pro Ronaldo post on this thread, I wondered if the brown nose comment was directed at me. And I thought I should clarify things just in case. No worries.
As for Nani’s comment, I have no reason to doubt him. We just don’t know why Ronaldo demanded the 5th spot kick. Like I said earlier, it could be a number of reasons. I definitely agree with you that no matter the reason, he messed up the order of their penalties. But that’s something I also blame Bento about. I imagine managers deal with this sort of stuff all the time when a game goes to penalties. They should be the ones laying down the law in these situations.
@Devil310
My apologies.
I don’t have a lot to contribute on that topic sadly. All I know about Bruce Lee, I know through that Hollywood movie that chronicled his life back in the 90s..
Right, back to the subject of the thread, I am all for Italy tomorrow, even if Balotelli nets the winner I do not care………..Yes he has issues of major proportions, but for fucks sake he is just a kid……Do not like him but I really cannot hate him
Italy all d way.. can’t see ticki tackas getting one more title
Costas
No matter, I will always take your side blindly (The medical team debate being an exception!!!) I know what you’re all about
Baines isn’t bad for 12m-15m. Young was money well spent last season but Baines has always been the more established player. I’d rather have him here than Alba anyway as he’ll stay, and Evra as a new option for LW isn’t the worst thing in the world either. Might never happen, but with Fabio on loan signing Baines can only strengthen us and he’s the right age to hit the ground running. We’ll see but im not holding my breath for another signing this summer.
As for the Olympics debate, they bent over backwards for BRAND CLLC so excuse my lack of giddiness when a harmless working class hero gets fucked over. Some foam at the mouth when you call Beckham that but what the fuck else is he? Think what you want about his career but you’ve ALWAYS been more likely to see him at a Charitable event than staring down from a billboard, so him getting dropped while CLLC plays for England is a piss-take. Those calling it a disgrace are spot on imo, if anything im just surprised more otherwise-intelligent people can’t make the same connection? Ha, no changes there then! Fergie’s opinion will be interesting either way.
Roll on August.
Brigadier19
If you are reading this, final instructions have been given out to the lads for tomorrow…….Pirlo will be getting the special mama Don’s pasta……All vital ingredients have been secured
Who cares about the Ronaldo penalty issue if he hadn’t scored there would be no semi final. To be honest I don’t believe Nani said any of those things. But if we are going to talk about egos there are plenty players worse than Ronaldo who pretend to hide it. Fabregas demanded the 5th even though he was told to take the 2nd no one is calling him a glory hunter, oh that’s right when it’s negative it’s only Ronaldo that gets criticism. Speaking of the penalty taker Alves he has
taken plenty of penalties for Porto so that’s why he was chosen. Only the British media keep going on and on and on about it when the Portuguese fans and media don’t give a fuck. I don’t blame Ronaldo for sticking two finger at the media when he receives so much bullshit just for the sake of it
G’day all
The eye is holding out today but both eyes feel tired for some reason

Kagawa could be the first big Asian star in the PL, if you have Gol TV carries the Germans here in the US and show replays all summer long. I have seen 3 Dortmund replays. He stares in 2.

Man it can explode this year, the lads one year on with so many games under their belts. TC, Welbeck, Rafa, Evans, Smalling, Jones, DDG, Lil Pea, with Rooney hitting his prime. Add Professor Scholes and Giggs, mix in Kakawa. WOWA WOAWA WOWA!!!!!!!

watched kagawa alot myself matewe have a real gem on our hands.way better than silva from what i seen as he scores lots o goals and almost always makes the perfect decision. maybe even nani can learn a thing or two from him about temperment.well hopefully
Haven’t actually seen Kagawa but guess he is a half decent player,is a midfielder and therefore very welcome.However I will wait to see our other signings before I jump in with my view of our prospects this coming season..

Willie
Of course it would be a senior role, we are aware of your capabilities……..Mind you once you are in you can never leave!!
Did not hear from Mike last night so I assume he was pissed to fuck and having a good time!
Cedars – Once you’re in, you can never leave? Sounds like the Mafia! Don’t worry about me mate. I understand omerta….
Mafia?
No no no, we are simply a Division that supplies Mama Don with her products
I’m leading an advance to squeaky Joe’s apple farm, as we speak. For Mama Don and the Capo regime!

Welcome aboard…………

A note from Mama Don
Fuck off
Not sure why, but I have to obey orders
Ah no! Paul the pear is in cahoots with squeaky Joe! For the trees…… !

Y’alls have ruined a perfectly good Kung Fu thread with all this non-Kung Fu nonsense. Honestly, it’s just football, football, football with some of you people, every fucking day. Anyone would think this is a football blog or something. Read the title: “Where to put your money on Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan”.
I’ve had enough of this, I’m going to the matresses. Fuckin’ gweilo…

GO ITALY!!!
1878 IBM has come to town and so have some Indian women. Saw 3 hot ones at the farmers market. Good for my home town peps to see smart educated accomplished people of color.
Snerr one of my favs was when Bruce fought Kareem Abdul Jabar.
I read recently you were debating with yourself and your old lady over whether to have laser on your retinopathy MG. Speaking from experience – and I have had over 10,000 laser shots in both my eyes over the past 2 years, the treatment absolutely saved my eyesight – it is a very common procedure, and I would recommend it. It is not particularly pleasant but can be done on an outpatient basis and does not hurt. Hope it all goes well for you…
Alright Zibster! Bruce Lee was a hero of mine. Loved all his films, but my personal favourite was, way of the dragon.
Frankly said.
Sheik yerbouti Zibbie
Zappa I saw you play in the first part of the 80′s in Madison WI you had the Overnight Sensation band!!
Zibbie – that was a great fight with Bruce in his classic yellow jumpsuit. That movie was terrible though, only half-completed before he died. It would have been cool if he had finished it though.
Strangely, they even made a second one with a ton of filler material. There’s a scene where they use a cardboard cut-out of Bruce and others where it’s a different actor wearing huge shades to conceal his face
They even put in clips from his actual funeral…
Did you see the re-make of Fist of Fury with Jet Li? Check this out, Chin Siu Ho with his awesome old school Kung Fu moves:

The Italians have a cooler bus, fuckers must have bribed someone for that!! ha ha ha

evening mate,
i think everyonez busy smacking the Pasta
Fuck me sideways, Torres looks more and more like a ladyboy by the day! ha ha ha
Sandy Baby
Well, they better get their asses on here we have err I mean Italy have a game to win
Not usually one for conspiracy theories, but there’s no way a dodgy pill killed Bruce Lee. This guy was getting ready to take over the whole fucking scene! Enter the Dragon was gonna be a hit worldwide, regardless of his untimely death. Like Tupac, he probably scared the pants off a certain section of people, who were jealous of their many talents. Fight the power!
wow…..this wait for the season excruciatingly painful and boring.
When are we going to sign Modric and Baines ?
Modric and Baines…rather sign Heskey and Bellamy
yes… you fuckwits the BigT is bank on de puter…….
No striker starting for Spain. What an entertaining side.
Watching Don Pirlo walking down the tunnel on his own, what a beast of a man…….
De Rossi looks all hunky and sexy, bet King Eric is drooling
Mr Bee
What exactly is BIG in Mr T??
Willie
Bruce Lee was killed mate
Come on United! I hate the pre season…
Cedars – That’s not in doubt…….who killed him is! I suspect dark forces.
Willie
Hollywood in the 70′s was worse than Sicily in the 70′s if you catch my drift!
Speaking of Lee, it is a shady death from what I’ve heard here and there. We will never know I guess. For me, the way his son died was even more tragic. My brother was a fan of the Crow movies and he always went on and on about how big a role it could have been for Brandon Lee.
Cedars – I never miss your drift!
Costas
Both were murdered mate, not sure of what was behind it
Willie
Good lad!
I’m watching ugly betty
Catch ur l8er!!!!
I heard an italia fan say:
Balotelli is the best player at the tournament…. Erm…..
But except don pirlo cause he’s awesome!!!
I did want to watch the final but that got me excited n now I made up my mind
Italy – we know how to beat the spaniards
Spain – we can outplay any team in the world
Balotelli – your are screwed!!!
Pirlo – I will run xavi ranged!!!
Xavi – well… We have torres
Brandon was shot on the set of the Crow. Meant to be blanks in the gun, but for some reason there was real bullets in the gun. Another dodgy one….
Ugly Betty > Bruce Lee
Spain >>>>> Italy
¡Viva Tiki Taka! ¡Vamos España!
Chiko
Ugly Betty? Man up pal
Ugly Betty was shite. Liked the spin off though, sweaty Betty!

The FFF have confirmed that Laurent Blanc has left the position of manager of the French National Team
##
Hello Costas and Irish hero,
its time Italy fucked Spain..
and talking about Bruce Lee,
” simplicity is the key to business”
a 6 minutes video of United for all the fuckers who are free right now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FXzS3DvOb4
Eh up Sandeep? Larry White is best away from that madhouse.
Cedars – Pirlo’s boys have no chance against my Spanish beauties.
Hi Sandy. I hope the cunts in that French team are proud. Good luck to the next victim that will take over the reigns. God knows how easy it is dealing with spastics like Nasri and Ben Arfa.
@Cedars
Like willie said, both deaths are awfully mysterious. A real shame on both occasions. Haven’t heard of any other accident on set similar to the one that took Brandon’s life…
Willie
Keep your agendas to yourself mate
Costas,
Spain are not a free scoring team when it comes to major tournaments..
fuckers won the world cup by scoring less than 10 goals if i m not wrong..
they score a goal and glue that ball to their asses, pass pass pass..
boring shit..
in this Euro, Xavi has more sideways pass than front, but all the eyes are on Carrick when makes a side pass..
Be serious cedara
Talking about bruce lee is more mean and weird
Than watching ugly betty
Fred
Its Don Pirlo if you do not mind! ha ha
I think carrick do that even when we’re losing lol
But………..
I don’t get your drift Cedars?
Willie and Costas,
Its good that Blanc is outta that French shit..
##
*simplicity is the key to brilliance”
##
Fred,
The Italian beats always take home the beautiful
Chiko
I can never be serious my friend, however talking about Bruce Lee a legend can never be deemed as weird, no?
Willie
Ha ha ha……..You’ve always had an agenda to have Blanc at United in some way or form
Chiko,
there you go,
##
in that video,
Sir Bobby’s second goal. oh my gawd, awesome
Maybe bcoz I was never a fan of his
Brandon Lee’s death doesn’t get any better for conspiracy cones
Brandon Lee Shot on the Set of The Crow
Was it an accident or the “Curse of the Chinese Merchant?”
Cedars,
there is a Robson goal in that video link, sweet left strike, hope you wont get an orgasm after it
##
good to see some clips of Berba in there..after all he was pivotal in the mighty 19th!!
Not only that, but usually all guns are checked, then checked again. No live rounds are allowed on any set. Too many weird things happening there to be coincidence’s…..
Cedars – Ha! I didn’t even think about that tbh. Wouldn’t mind seeing him at United though? Fergie was impressed with his football knowledge apparently. The way it ended with France shouldn’t impact on his future plans.
From Aunty Beeb – the one goal Spain have conceded at this tournament came from Italy, and six of the 12 saves Iker Casillas has had to make all tournament came in that opening game against the Italians.
Tells you something about just how dominant the masters of tiki taka truly are.
Sandy Baby
Not seen the video yet, will do shortly……..Any Robbo goal is sweet to my heart….
wayne
I am sure just like me you know it was no accident pal
Back to the football! I’ve went for Italy. Got some money on it. Hope it’s a cracking game! 2 1, Italy.
Fred
I know that in no way shape or form you are serious, but either way lets make this shit personal!
Forza Italia
Meant to say ‘being serious’
Cedars – haha, this is one match the Italians won’t be able to fix.
@Sandeep
Yeah, it was 8 goals in 7 games in the 2010 World Cup for Spain. They won all their knockout games by 1-0. Similar to Greece’s course in 2004. I am not judging them for it. Like I said, you play to your strengths. I just don’t see why they were called entertaining. Under Del Bosque anyway. Aragones’ Spain was more direct.
Fred,
Lets hope they leak couple more against Italians tonight
Bored of the Balotelli wank fest already. Nobody seems to mention that he was shite against England and squandered a good 3 or 4 chances. Even the first goal against Germany was all Cassano.
ABU media in operation my friends…
Fred
The Italians can always ‘fix it’ ha ha
Italia Italia Italia
6 players from Barça in Spain Starting XI. Euro record in final is 7 Dynamo Kiev players for Soviet Union in ’88 final
Costas,
True that, not as much entertaining as everyone thinks…
but i just hope Italians stick to the game plan same as Germany game tonight..
Last game of the Euros. RIP
Vicente Del Bosque can become only the 2nd ever manager to win a Euro and World Cup, joining Helmut Schön of Germany (Euro ’72, ’74 WC)
###
Ikier Casillas has not conceded a goal in Euro-WC K/O stages for a record 900 minutes.
that’s massive!!!
Costas @ 19:21: “Aragones’ Spain was more direct.”
They had the manpower to do so – David Villa is a big miss; and, of course, TheLadyBoy ain’t likely to “man up” for them.
Time to go watch the national anthems – just love watching GianLuigi Buffon howl with his eyes closed.
For some reason, I suddenly don’t feel like watching this shit. Got to go to work on monday too, what I’d really like is to have a light j and drift off for a solid 8 hrs… Decisions, decisions…
@Cyril
Here’s the thing mate. Fans who are just starting to realize who Balotelli is, have only seen his one side. I said it recently, but he could win or lose his team a major trophy. I am no Italy’s side today so I hope it doesn’t happen, but he could lose the plot at any moment.
Cassano is a player I used to put in the same category, but he’s impressed me so far in this tournament. MOre than Balotelli. He seems to be playing with his head now and with the talent he naturally has, it makes him a lethal striker.
Gianluca Vialli on Italy coach Cesare Prandelli: “He’s a bit like Galileo, he’s a visionary.”
I’m hoping Keano chest stamps goofy cunt Southgate like he did in the 1995 FA cup semi final replay against Palace and snaps Adrian Piles neck – fat fucking brummy cunt. Also hoping Townsend gets his throat slit tonight.
@Denton
I’d say Villa is a loss given their type of play. Del Bosque would start him due to his movement today whereas he won’t do the same for Torres or Llorente. But then again, Villa was there in 2010 and the tiki taka was still there. Boring as ever.
@Sandeep
Here’s hoping!
Costas – I have a feeling it will happen. Spain will be playing one of their triangles around him, like this:
http://www.abload.de/img/1kpqo.gif and he will snap. The man is a ticking time bomb.
Kings – Apart from that though, are you looking forward to the game? Lol.
4 Real and 6 Barcelona players in this Spain line up. Ffs.
The only other club represented in this side is Man City..
Kings
That sounds fair enough mate………….Great vision
@Costas – Yeah, agree about Cassano, he seems to have sorted himself out (for this tournament at least).
I’m hoping for an Italy win too but it was only two or three games ago Mario was pounding on the ground in frustration or kicking the post against England. He’s a total psycho but maybe the newfound adoration will sort out his blatant neediness. Either that or it’ll make his ego swell up even more (if that’s possible).
Prediction: 2-2 in normal time, 3-3 after extra time. Italy win on penalties.
Kings,
been a long time,
how are you my friend?
catch u all at half time..
cheers
Forza Azzuri..
Costas – disgusting, isn’t it? (The last part I mean.) Sign of the times though.
@Fred
WillieRedNut – Yes mate. Looking forward to seeing Pirlo run the show.
CedarsDevil – Thanks mate. Come on Azzuri. Fuck off pin head cunt Busquets and Spain.
The country that is Spain I LOVE……………Italy the country I LOVE too……….Both frigging great places to visit and both have mad as fuck people…….
Sandeep1878 – I’m good thanks my friend. How are you good sir?
Catch up later. Come on Italy.
LOL Costas. His reaction was because none of his teammates were helping him press.
Kings – Without a doubt mate. Want Italy to beat this lot.
@Fred
Sign of the times indeed. They have 2 representatives in the Euro final tonight and that’s how many UNited have had since the tournament was created in 1960…
Gerard Pique – great to see an ex-Red doing so well for himself.
Don Pirlo rapes shit
Costas – wow, that is sickening. Just a statistical quirk, I know, but it still rankles.
Cedars – he raped that attempt at a shot, that’s for sure.
Kings
I share your ‘passion’ for biscuits mate
I hate the way Lawrenson always refers to Balotelli simply as “Mario”.
David Villa and his mother in the stands. Nice to see….
Wasn’t so long ago Pirlo wasn’t even their main playmaker. Totti was freaking ace, I love that guy. It’s so weird not seeing him, Del Piero and Cannavaro in the Italian team.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
Fuck me sideways the Spaniards are so good at ball possession
The Sicily Division becomes anxious. Forza Italia. Come on now deal with these imbeciles.
Could be on to something there Cedars.
I’m afraid to say your boys are in for an absolute pasting. I can really feel it.
Boring boring bastards!
Class from start to finish…
This spaniards can play…..
This first 15mnts has been a joy…….
Fred
Piss off you traitor ha ha ha
Italia Italia Italia
Willie – it had to happen, didn’t it? The media going on about how boring Spain are and wanking over Pirlo and Balotelli. Spain are serving up humble pie tonight!
I do hope the Italian coach can fix this problem….
Brigadier19
Worry not my commander in chief…………Mama Don’s recipe will come good
Fred – When they put it together, there’s nothing anyone can do. Silva scoring with his head ffs!
Been a tad one sided so far but still a long way to go. I think a few people have got carried away with this Italy team. Lost there last 3 games coming into the tournament and unconvincing in qualifying. They got to the semi finals by winning one sollitary game which was against Ireland. Would never have backed Italy to put 2 past Spain as tipped by Scott. Spain barely concede any goals just through the pure possession they enjoy.
Willie – I’m sure old Galileo will have something up his sleeve.
Just a thought.. In case Spain win, will carlos puyol come down in the kit to claim the trophy??
Pirlo’s radar is well off tonight.
All Don Pirlo at the minute
Italy with these terrible Hollywood balls. Suicidal against Spain.
Denton’s pin up De Rossi is playing well………for Spain.
Kings said he hopes Andy Townsend gets his throat slit tonight well I have to agree with this. He his such a cunt you know.
Mama Don’s sauce Issa simmering at the moment.
Alonso Iniesta xavi fabregas and we said we had a golden generation with Gerrard Barry and Lampard. It makes you laugh
Hope mario scores soon . Sick of listening to the commentators Spain orgasmfest already.
Don…….. Pirlo hahaha!!!
The spaniards are serving up hunble pie tonight
Willie –
G12G0 –
Willie
Sexually speaking De Rossi belongs to King Eric mate
Balotelli is that good!!!!
Townsend is a cunt get BBC on and laugh at Lawrensons commentary the guy is clueless
The goal scorer is very wasteful tonight
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bastards
Could be over…..
Left-back bursting through the Italian defence to slot in a fucking beauty… it’s just soooooo boring!
If the italians had 3 balotellis they would open up the Spanish tik-tak
But it seems too late now
SHIT
Another great goal from Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.
Now the thing to watch will be mario losing it on the pitch…cmon mario, hit someone…
A Bertie I know claimed this was going to be “The Balotelli Show”
Lawrenson is funny as fuck ….mentioning Alba 14euro transfer fee from Valencia to Barca he said
‘Blimey …..only 14 million….that two Andy Carroll’s’ ….
fair play funniest put-down I’ve heard this competition
HT: Spain 2-0 Italy
Spain hardly concede
2 goals is a very big ask for italy, a task they may not respond to
Would have preferred a Germany Spain final. They’re currently the best 2 international sides on the planet. The Germans just never reacted to Italy’s opener on the night and were deservedly beaten on the night.
Now they’re ahead they might let Torres play.
John Terry has been seem wandering in the tunnel wearing a red shirt, drinking Sangria…. eating Paella and shouting Ole
Give credit where it’s due. Spain have attacked more decisively tonight. Italy haven’t played bad, but the sort of game Spain are playing hs wearing them out. That’s why they couldn’t afford to go behind. Can’t see this turning around now.
Sometimes in life, you have to hold your hands up and admit Spain are fucking boring!
Brilliant stuff…
TonyBee
Ha ha ha
70 matches since Spain lost a game after having taken the lead… Italy still worth a punt?
chiko_mufc_mondlane says:
Spain hardly concede

classic quote….but even staying at 2 goals behind is going to be an even bigger ask…..
I hope David Gill has his camera ready for the trophy presentation. It’s an hour away now…
Pirlo the worse player I have ever seen
Pirlo the worst player I have ever seen

Xavi officially the best player on earth
so bad he said it twice…….
@willie
Lets not revisit history mate.Be honest about it. If you had the option of watching Spain’s last 3 games or watching Susan Boyle in porn, what would you pick?
and changed allegiance…. viva Espagnia
Spain are playing far better tonight but I still say their game against France is the most tedious boring match I have ever watched.
Out of interest, did anyone follow the advice on this thread and bet on Italy to win 2-0?
Costas ….brilliant ….Susan Boyle porn….. fucking classic
Willie – they are just dire, aren’t they? Spent most of the first half trying not to fall asleep I did.
Costas – he’s hoping to get Silva’s autograph too. Could have had it in 2010 for around £25m.
Kick me when I am down why dont you?
TonyBee
I know mate, its funny and weird
Their movements its like viewing a big city at night
Changing allegiance issa no good this issa unacceptable.
Shame on you Chiko
They Had to capitalize while I was enjoying the goals!!!
My mate just said, “If you were going to finger Susan Boyle, which one would you use?”
I said, “Yours.”
Cyril – 2-0 is what I would have plumped for if I was a betting man. However, Italy will consider themselves very fortunate if they manage to restrict these Spanish boys to just 2 goals now. They are sumptuous!
@Fred
@TonyBee
Great. I can imagine all the inspiration I’ve given you now.
Costas – Subo porn mate. Where’s me hankies!
Is Leigton Baines still estimated to be worth more than Jordi Alba?
Italy’s stamina (compared to Spain’s anyway) is the main reason why I can’t see how they can come back in this now. They have to chase the ball a lot and they don’t seem to be at the strongest as the game enters the last 30 minutes.
Shame!!!!
They have a mountain to climb
Keep on missing while they will keep on scoring…..
My name is Susan Boyle
I live my with my pet cat
If people think my eyebrows are hairy
They should see my fucking twat
That one Spain lost 70 games ago after taking the lead was the 3-2 defeat to Northern Ireland!
Crikey, those were the days.
Fabregas unselfishness almost rewarded
This game is being played on HQ pitch
last one on the Boyle
Susan Boyle sat next to me in a club
She looked like a bloke, more chins than the Peking phone book and thighs like piglets.
“Hi big boy,” she cooed, rubbing my cock through my jeans “is that a Mars bar in your pocket?”
“Yes”, I said, “and it’s just gone fucking soft.”
Hahahaha Tony!
Do we have a sachu in disguise?
is this the same Italian side second half…fuck me they are going for it…..good for them
In my life experience. Fat chicks are fun to great fucks, 15 to 40 lbs if they have shape, come on it is like admitting masturbation. Most if not all like fucking chubby women. They know this it is ok to say chubby chicks are good to great lays. And lovers.
yeah i was a wondering along them lines to Cedars…..
@Fred
It was way before that Northern Ireland loss, but I miss the days Spain would lose at Cyprus or at home against Greece.
Got to feel for Valeron. One of my favorite Spanish players, born 5 years too soon…
@TonyBee
Yeah hate hem
But they will keep on proving you shouldn’t!!!!
Late Feb. my lady is in a way made at me. She has her winter weight on that I feed with all she loves. This year she had to lose 22 lbs for bikini season. It was a wonderful winter of extra and bigger female bumps.
Cedars – It took you that long to figure it out?
Fred – Healy scored a hattrick that night. Great times indeed!
mad. hehe
Willie
Sorry pal, guess I am just too kind hearted
Zibbie….
I love shagging fat birds.
You are always guaranteed a cracking breakfast in the morning.
Italy too fragile. Now down to 10.
Costas – Spain used to be the great underachievers, didn’t they? Hyped as potential dark horses for each international tournament but only ever making it as far as the quarter-finals – if they were lucky! Those days are well and truly gone, unfortunately.
Willie …i just think he liked the hero worship…. :lol;
cunting smilies…..
Motta pulled a hammy.
Would you fuckers give me a heads up earlier next time?
TonyBee – Think he did.
Their movements its like city lights at night on a distant view
Spain rules!!!!!
Cedars plz get pirlo out
In United-related news, Everton are close to signing Croatia left-back Daniel Pranjic, meaning Baines to United is all but certain.
Haha, spain bring on their striker when they are 2 up with fifteen minutes left…poor torres, lets see how many misses he generates now…
Tony Bee I love breakfast anytime of the day.
Fuck’s sake. Why did MOtta have to get injured. This game is INCREDIBLY BORING now. SMH.
Second half has actually been pretty boring tbf.
What a player fabregas is…..
Okay, enough with this praise
I’ll shut shop now and enjoy the game I will comment l8er
But spain proved once again that they are untouchable at the minute
What a bunch of talented footballers!!!! Headsup buddies headsup!!!!!
Fuck yes now the Olympics and a small vacation pre-season to start.
Torres to win this for Spain.
You called it Bill.
Torres clinches it! Justifies the 50 million!
Lawrenson on the Torres goal – “beautiful. Especially if you’ve got him at 16-1 as the joint top scorer.”
FFS
Juan Mata
I love this little guy.
What a player fabregas is…..
Okay, enough with this praise

Lot were laughing at him but he sure had a great season than lot
FA CUP
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winning medal
Now EURO winning medal
All you could ask for
4-0! Mata!
They’re just SO BORING!
You have to feel for Italy, they’ve been damn good at this tournament.
Boring final after all….very one sided…
Terry needs to come down and congratulate his team mates….but I am sure he will be allowed to lift the trophy now.
Torres gets the golden boot by virtue of having played fewer minues than Mario Gomez.
Tried to do a Wellbeck. #fail
All over, Spain are Champions. What a tournament.
My man Pique.
To be honest, the Spanish team in the first 15 minutes impressed me the most. That’s when they proved they can be more attack minded under crucial circumstances. The rest of the game was just a case of them hitting Italy on the counter or raping their carcass in the 2nd half. Lets see how adventurous they will be against Germany or Brazil.
But for now, congrats to Spain. I don’t think any other national side will make history like Spain have in 4 years.
Fair play to STR, he stuck his neck on the line and made a prediction rather than sit on the fence. I don’t think he’ll be making it as tipster at any point in the future though.
Best goal of the tournament then? I’m going for Ibrahimovic against France.
So here’s a question. Torres has won the Ch.League and the Euro and even won the golden boot for the latter. He should win the Ballon D’Or now?
Awwww, these kids.
Welbeck against sweden…..
Sara Carbonaro or whatever she’s called puckering up…
Sublime from Spain. Italy done wonders to even get to the final. Spain currently on a different level. Can they make it 4 wins in a row, in Brazil? Gonna be tough. I’d favour the hosts and Argentina. Conditions will suit them. Fans backing too. For now though, congrats to Spain! Best in the world!
That trophy is gash tbf. Real ugly thing imo.
Well said Willie.
The way the Azzuri have fallen tonight is akin to the pyroclastic destruction that befell Pompeii in 79. A.D.
But like a phoenix they will rise from the ashes.
Forza Italia.
Forza Brigadier.
Why so quiet on here?
Cyril – Zlatan’s was class, but I’m gonna go with Danny’s against Sweden. Red tinted glasses firmly on!
Karagounis agains Russia.

Most polemic moment: Ronaldo doesn’t get a chance to take a penalty.

LOL Costas. Spot on.
Most likely to have his effigy hanged back home: Balotelli?
Best impression of a Star Wars Character (you know what’s coming): Mesut Ozil. It’s a trap!
i hope baines does not sign for utd. alba cost 11 mill and reports of baines for 17. rather see fryers given a chance
Have to agree with Costas that Russia have the best national anthem. It’s everything an anthem should be! France and Scotland also have brilliant national anthems. At least Scotland have something going for them! England’s anthem is awful. We should use Jerusalem instead. God save the queen is just dire.
Got to say. These summer tournaments can’t substitute watching United, but they are a lot more fun when you spend them over here with willie, Fred, Tony, Cedars, Cyril and co..

The resemblance is obvious.
Fryers? Sniffing at United’s contract offer isn’t he? At least Bainesy wants to play for United (despite being a scouser!)
Costas – That’s brilliant! I’ll be saving that one.
Costas – nice one. The feeling is mutual pal.
baines seems like a england reject. no matter how good he may have played for everton , he will never be world class. simply because he is an english footballer.
i no zeki is english too but hes come through the academy rather see him play or given a chance atleast
dasilvatwins – I agree but we’re stuck with the bugger now. All we can do is welcome him to the Manchester United family.
Costas – You’re only saying that cos I cheered Greece on?
Cheers mate! Same to you… 
It’s definitely a lot more fun reading everyone’s comments while the games are on, especially all the love for Karagounis.
Well done peeps!

@fred thats been the problem spending too much money on players who will just never cut it at the upmost top level. im not saying baines is crap. i just dont think he will ever be regarded in top 10 defenders in the world. to many half ass signings. im not asking to sign a known player , just dont sign one where we already know will not set the world on fire. and reportedly £17 mill. ive played enough football manager to know where that can be better spent.
Tonight reminded me a bit of ManUtd vs Barca CHampions League games,
With all the hype that we had a chance against them, them suddenly they outplayed us and we couldn’t do anything but watch them play and be a little bitter with great excuses.
When the real reason is that at this moment Spain is the definition of football. If we’d played like this we would say that this is total football. SO A BIG HAND to SPAIn.
I for myself think it’s a bit boring football, counter football and going fast forward attacking football is my kind of playing,
but then I DREAM and wish we’d play that kind of total football. No matter what, we should just enjoy and try to reach that level.
@Willie
Haha, well I must say that I did appreciate all the support Greece got in here, especially from you, Cedars and Fred, but I would have enjoyed the comments over here anyway. It’s funny, but it was a summer tournament that made me a football fan (WC 94), but in recent years they bore me to death. I am more of a United than a football fan now. At least ROM gives me a reason to watch these games now.
@Cyril
hey, whoa, platini, where is the 3rd place match??? you know germany vs portugal?
July 2 to August 18th = too many days!
With maestro Pirlo & hardworkers like Marchisio, De Rossi, Italy still got “whacked” by the Spain, yet people still ridiculed us for lost against Barca with midfield combo of Giggs & Carrick.
Costas – Greece won me over with their gutsy showing in the opening game, coming back from a goal down and that scandalous red card to almost win (but for the penalty miss) and I greatly enjoyed their win over the massively overhyped Russians. You guys were well and truly robbed by that ridiculous yellow card to Karagounis which kept him out of the Germany game. We’ll never know how you guys would have done against the Germans with “Special K” running things in midfield.
My guess is you’d have sent them packing just like you did the Russkis. 
Favourite gif of the tournament: http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1104309/KaragounisFace.gif
Well that was the most boring 4-0 win I’ve ever watched? Am I right?
Fred – How about this one:
http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1198510/ronnymad.gif
Fred – in brazil 1970, and spain currently, shearer forgets pele won 3 world cups in his time with brazil. And despite the hype spain have got, and rightfully so, they still have only won the world cup, lets see over the next the next few world cups, how many world cups Spain actually win, because they still have only won one world cup
I also feel, the overall quality of international sides decades ago like the 70′s were far superior, the likes of brazil argentina germany italy england even good sides like sweden etc were better back then than now. So if spain faced really good opposition, they would cause spain more problems. I do not think most of the sides in today’s international level, are of the standard they were years ago
That’s a good one Cyril. Love me some histrionics.
Histrionics: the study of old robots.
FITB – you know more than Alan Shearer, that’s for sure.
Shearer’s classic from 2010 when asked for his thoughts on Newcastle’s new signing Hatem Ben Arfa: “No-one really knows anything about him.”
First class analysis right there.
Right, I’m off but I’ll leave you all with this:
http://i.imgur.com/kMtfk.gif
I’m not sure, but have Spain won only one world cup?
Wayne in LA….
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2167225/Wayne-Rooney-Ashley-Cole-party-Los-Angeles.html
Fred – well he did choose Newcastle over united, so what does that say. No question Spain’s squad is terrifying, and what is funny is, they said before the match kicked off, of hansen shearer and lineker that spain were boring, and after the match they are trying to dig themselves out of a hole by calling them entertaining, shearer saying who ever calls them boring, what we saw tonight was far from boring, idiot alert, YOU CALLED THEM BORING SHEARER.. And the stat Spain have scored 12 goals, yea 4 against Ireland, 4 against 10 men Italy. Spain are a great side, but to class them the best ever, when they have still only won one world cup is till very naive. I thought Spain first half blew hot and cold, because I thought Italy had a 30 minute spell where they really did dominate the game. Spain have played much better than tonight for my money
WillieRedNut – yea LOL, brazil have 5 world cups, so they are a long way behind the greatest ever. And like I said, pele won 3 world cups in his time for brazil, and Uruguay have won more world cups than Spain. So before idiots like shearer start calling Spain the best ever, they got to start overtaking nations like Uruguay, before being seen in the same breath has brazil
Spain are the best now. Brazil were the best then. Comparing the two is stupid. Different era’s….
Rooney in LA? I didn’t authorize that. What is he doing in my town?
well what we now know is that baines is worth more than alba…
can someone please tell me how?
zigoo, yes.
Spain showed how to stop Pirlo, by triple marking him. Xavi, Inesta & Fabregas never gave him an inch of space.
And here we have Hodgson only putting Rooney on him, and expecting Rooney to do everything, then blames him. Shows how Hodgson underestimated Pirlo. So whose fault was it again?
Spain beat Italy tactically, Italy literally gave up after the hour mark, such was the tactical mismatch. Italy depended too much on Pirlo & Spain made sure he can’t do anything
Btw, now will people see how good Ronaldo is? He alone caused this Spain side no end of problems. Of course Nani & Moutinho contributed, but Spain where scared shit by Ronaldo
Oh, they were quaking in their cleats, weren’t they?
Sandeep Anna: udipi hotel just took an order: spain ko 2 plate Italy and Italy ko single medu wada.
Morning All
Well done to Spain and their fans, great country and lovely people, like them or not they are the best………..Having said I honestly do not enjoy their football…
So sachu is back and had me fooled like fuck…..
Costas
Right back at you mate, posters like you and the ones you mentioned plus many more makes this place enjoyable especially during off season …..
Willie
Lost my connection mate, gutted to be honest……..Missed out on some great banter
On the comparisons I agree with Willie, different eras so it does not make sense…….However we can relate to the side that caught our eye the most
We have seen some great national sides over the years, the Hungary team of the 50′s that sadly won nothing as did the great Dutch team of the 70′s…….Then you have Brazil of 82, again won nothing…
All great sides in their own right but to say who is really the best? Tough one….As far as excitement goes its hands down Brazil 82
Whao, Chiko = sachu??!!!
How dod that one get outed? Palace intrigues of the highest order!
Cedars – beware of fans!
Credit should be given where it should be, Spain defeated italy fair and square. ALL through the tournament everyone criticized spain but they proved their point by playing an entertaining match against italy. Well done.
Really disappointed that Players from chelsea and city scored goals yesterday. i want to see players from our club playing the finals of International football. It is a shame that no players representing Manchester united have plyed in the final for last 8 years. Last player to play in the final was ronaldo in euro 04. I hope we see some of our players playing the WC 2014 Final.
Jeet
Seems that buggers like TonyBee and Willie had him figured out ages ago………..I was too naive on this one, got caught up with all the ‘sir’ nonsense…….Ha ha ha ha
I blame Sandeep!!
Who is sachu?
Harish
He is a freak who has been raiding this blog, at times using multiple user names……Has been banned numerous times but keeps coming back under a new moniker. Sick bastard of the highest order
Cedars
Lol never thought such freaks would also exist. Never mind This is a United blog and we will remain united.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
Chiko/ Sachu caught Cedars with his pants down
Harish
Of course we will pal…………This sick freak has been trying to ruin things here for over a year…So dumb that we always figure him out, well apart from this time when he fooled me!
Atin
Guilty as charged mate!! That one smacked me right in the face!! ha ha ha ha
I previously used to visit a united blog which also had same problems. It was a decent blog not so popular like RoM but unfortunately the writer and owner of the blog closed the blog because of some stupid people using multiple user name. There was a guy name tuhin who suggested me to visit RoM. I am very thankful to him for suggesting me this wonderful blog.
Cedars – so you are susceptible to a little bit of flattery with the odd “Sir” thrown in, eh?
Though, to be fair, it was Sandy who brought him on from FB – one wouldn’t suspect someone with that sort of reference …. one more reason why I stay away from all such shit!
Jeet
I stay away from all that crap too…….Cannot really blame Sandy Baby, he was just fooled like I was…I always look for the good in people but this freak seriously has issues of mega proportions!
Anyway, enough of this we have a title to win……….Cannot wait to see Kagawa don the shirt, its been a long off season
Cedars
Absolutely mate. I am also eagerly waiting to see kagawa in action for us. KagawaBunga
47 days away from playing Everton………..Still seems like too long!
Morning Reds!
Well now that teams I support have decided they’re not going to win anything, I’ve decided to support City and Liverpool from next season.
C’mon you blues !!
You’ll never walk alone..
Panderi
That’s blasphemy mate!!
Have we sold Evra yet?
Have to say I’ve been really impressed by Prandelli. Have been following him a bit since he was manager of Fiorentina, whom he managed for 5 years which in itself is an achievement in the serie A. Had them playing some good football too and if it wasn’t for 2 offside goals Bayern scored in the round of 16 it’d be them we would have faced in the quarter finals of the champions league in 2010..
And finally congratulations Spain. Their tippy tappy football bores me to death, but they have it in them to go up another level and play some attacking shit. I think nowadays they just choose not to. I wonder though how ladyboy Torres feels. He’s won a lot of trophies recently, but except for Euro 2008, he’s not done anything significant in any of the other cups he’s won. For a superstar of his ego it must feel a little hollow..
Cedars,
We just need to sell Nani and Rooney……We’ll be fine then me thinks
Cedars
How could you forget that shit welbeck and hernandez. They should also be sold. Let us buy Carrol for 70 millions and voronin. We would win every cup with these two.
Carroll only 70 million? Way too under valued, let’s also get rid of Evans, I hate him
How we missed out on Henderson, Downing and Adam is beyond me
After Kagawa scores his first goal for United, Vidic should give him a Kancho!!! To welcome him to the squad.

Afternoon reds around the world,
Cedars,
I m really sorry pal,
Havent gone through this Sachu shit completely yet, but i will in sometime..
apologies for causing the embarrasment..
these dick heads like Sachu are so cheap..bloody cheap..
When is our first pre-season match and against who?
Zino,
here is the schedule,
18 July 2012 AmaZulu
21 July 2012 Ajax Cape Town
25 July 2012 Shanghai Shenhua
5 August 2012 Vålerenga
8 August 2012 Barcelona
10 August 2012 Peterborough United
Thanks a lot sandeep. But 18th feels like two months away!!!!
Ha! Got a match against Drogba Shenhua. Nice!!
Sachu you bloddy pussy,
Have you got anything that confirms you are a man?
cunt!!
I hope we see more of our youngsters play in this pre season . The pre season will also be important for Vidic as he is returning from long lay off. Tom and anderson will also have a huge opportunity to come back to the grove with this pre season.
Nemenja Vidic is set to join in with the first training session at Carrington today after recovering from ligament damage.
that’s one good news from the day
Harish,
Yeah a good pre season under the belt can make a lotsa difference..esp for young players..
Keane will be a big miss due to his injury
@Sandeep: he loves you and cedars
Can’t stop LMAO…aww, the poor kid – all he wants is some attention, a little TLC…how could you, you hard hearted bastards !
I strongly believe our pre season games should be more competitive. Full respect to every team we are playing but I can’t see how helpful would it be by playing against lesser known african and a chinese team. Apart from barcelona no game is competitive.
Where’s Iced Earth?
I should watch 2011-2012 review later today. From what I hear, the MUTV commentary along with the weird camera angles for the goals that plagued last season’s review are gone for this one. Thank fuck. That should cheer up Notorious.
Hopefully one day the club will release a better version of the 10-11 season. Such a shame that a historic season like that was chronicled in such a cheap fashion.
Jeet,
you bloody northy fucker
What d f*k is sichu?
I’m chiko that’s me I’m no sichu
Why would you?
Come on guys please!!!!!
Sir cedars I’m your biggest fan go to my facebook page and check on my details, I’m no sichu??????? No!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell no
Harish,
these pre season games are just warm up and kinga go get the fitness games..
so i dont mind if the teams are not that strong, but nothing should change our preparation for the season..
we gotta take it easy this time around after all the fucking injuries we have had this season..
If Vidic is fit by September, there is nothing like it..The mIghty has been a big miss..
###
Costas,
true that, sometimes i wonder why our official videos suck..
Hopeing for HD ones pal..
and any news on Fletch?
First:
Why do you think that of me?
Second: what in hell did I do wrong to deserve that?
3rd: I saw this last night u wrote it ‘sichu’ last night bt nver putted it to mind cause never heard of such in my entire lyf
And decided to role as one of cedars crazy moments.
4th: I deserve explanations, no???
@Sandeep
Until 09-10, our official season review were just fine. Match commentary was from Sky and BBC (although my main issue isn’t listening to Gardner celebrate our goals, far from it) and there were fresh sit down interviews with Fergie and some of our key players. In last season’s review, all they did was compile the match highlights from MUTV along with some of the interviews the channel took during the season. It felt like a lazy and cheap job. The only fresh thing they added was the different camera angles for the goals we scored. And it got annoying after a while. I don’t mean to nitpick, but imo the season we won the 19th title deserved more. Maybe they should have saved their laziness for this season’s review.
Guys no
I’m still shocked
