What on Earth are Italy doing ? :rofl:

Zaccardo - Way to spoil a clean-sheet, with an own-goal.
De Rossi - 60 seconds later, puncture McBride's face and get sent-off.

I'll be surprised if there isn't another red.

35mins. Totti off : Gattuso on.

Very first touch, scorching goal.
Disallowed. :rofl:

This ref...fucken hot head. Straight reds no worries. Although they were both arguably red card offences. At least he's consistent.

 

[Paragon]

That's bloody harsh.
Red card, Team USA.

10-a-side.

Italy really want the win here, they dont wanna rely on having to beat czech's just to qualify. Good sign of the intent to win in that Lippi didnt take off one of his forwards, instead going for Totti. With 10 men, you'd want every one of your 10 players to be playing at 100% of their game.

They'd need a 100% turnaround if they're to escape this match with even a single point.

USA are bloody playing like their lives depend on this result. 45 minutes into the match, and Italy still don't even know what hit them.

Half-Time stats:
Italy - 1 shot on target = 1 goal
USA - 0 shots on target = 1 goal

Another Red-card.
77 seconds into the second half.

USA 9
Italy 10.

 

[acmilan]

Well no one else currently on the field have a yellow card, so at least another send off will have to be a straight red lol (or two yellows)

 

[acmilan]

Taking off a defender for Del Piero? Interesting move Definitely going for the win now.

Glad I woke for this game! Incidents aplenty! I think the ref is a little too used to refereeing in Sth America, where they often send multiple players off in a game. I remember a game a few weeks ago with (I think) 5 red cards in Brazil/Argentina.

 

[acmilan]

omg.

 

[Paragon]

Gooooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllll.

Disallowed ????

Italy spared.

 

[Paragon]

They've made all the subs haven't they ?

So if there were to be injuries now ....

 

[acmilan]

Heart pounding stuff for Italian fans. They do this every world cup

 

[Paragon]

Glad I woke for this game! Incidents aplenty!

You should've seen the first half mate.

PrimeTime drama, SBS style.

 

[acmilan]

I dont think either team can complain with a draw given all that happened. Tight group now.

 

[Paragon]

What a match. Full credit to USA, brilliant effort.
It's a 4-way battle royale now.

Next.

 

[johnny_87]

I did Paragon I just don't log on for every game!

 

[johnny_87]

So who to make it through? If Koller and Baros are still out, I'd say Italy and Ghana perhaps.
