Match Centre: Italy vs. Romania - EURO Grp. C

Alright Cya

Thanks.. I agree with you.
take care all.

They need to get their shit together, but they definitely have the depth and talent to do it. Most of all they have the experience as well. A win against France and a Holland Romania draw or a
win for Holland and they're gonna have a chance. They'll have to get through Spain in the next round though. Surely Spain will win that group.

chima, I dont know, I think they wasted to much time at the end ACTING.. Cannavaro is SORELY missed..

I still think Italy can make the finals though.

I just don't want France to go through.

whatever, i need to puke..

i am very gutted.. so close.. played so well.. we still have a chance!

Don't forget your comments/emails/voicemails for the Eurocast - details above. You must be gutted Horia.

your defenders hooliganized my Nico, he was pulled down, clear penalty.

Nico21Horia, you should be elated that the stupid idiots that do not know how to judge a game.. Puhleeze..

i'm gutted.

ya mutu shouldn't take it. horible choice.

I'm not saying everyone doesn't have their own problems but not everyone has the hope of their whole nation weighing on one kick from you.

Chima--on that point i agree with you.But, I have my own problems to deal with and I don't take home millions of dollars either.
My final word is Italia was robbed and that makes me really
sick.. the score should be 2-1.
if France loses to Holland, and to Italy could they still have a chance? I cannot figure it out mathematically.

No I'm saying he shouldn't have been put in that situation. The manager should have more intelligence than that. It's ultimately his decision and he made the wrong one.

okay, i guess you are saying that missing the penalty was better?

It's not that easy.

If he tells the manager he doesn't want to play what will that say for his passion and his ambition? How will that affect him being selected in the future?

no, he could have said he has emotional problems and cannot perform

chivu shoulda taken the penalty

He had to play cos he was picked. Plain and simple.

Chim.. then why did he allow himself to be played?/Horia.. i hope Holland wins. I abhor France.. i hope the "stars" are not aligned for them.

And now he has to add a missed penalty in a crucial match to it.

The Romanian manager is a stupid cunt. Mutu wont be able to sleep tonight. Fucking idiot!

Of course Mutu is crying. He's very stressed out right now. He has a lot going on in his life.

ciao

See you guys on the next match centre... let's all go there!!! see ya soon!

i can't believe it
i'm holland's biggest fan.

He should be celebrating that the REFS are pieces of CRAP.

mutu is crying

full time 1-1

Italy need Holland to beat France now.

that was no foul

yes, Totti wont play for Italy anymore.. i think in 2007.. i am going to be sick..

contra took a dive

That just now was a dive though.

what u mean diving horia lol

He did? When did he?

totti retired from Intl play. unfortunately, in my opinion

* i don't care about grammar

inzaghi didn't retire did he?

must be coz his injured.

Been sitting here for over 5 minutes trying to post and the friggin thing keeps reloading without my messages

is he even in the squad? im not sure

Fucking hell man. Why the fuck does this fucking site keep fucking up on me?

This might be a dumb question but is Totti injured?

mutu goes off

I really care about grammar. I just didn't understand the one comment.

there's no appeals in football ... I mean nobody even bothers because the referee's decision will stand.

oh and Bob.. sorry about the grammar errors..:)

how is that a romania freekick?

the score should be 2-1,, can an appeal ever be gotten?

Camoranesi is exhausted Rachid

Ambrosini? Why bring him in now. He should go back to the bench to sit on his rocking chair.

It's stupid to make Mutu take that penalty though. What the fuck?! His grandmother just died and he has that whole out of court settlement with Chelsea going on...just what he needs...more
pressure....stupid decision by the Romanian manager. That had miss written all over it.

and Fabio Q may be their next goal scorer.. keep my fingers crossed.

Buffon deserves to win. he is a really oustanding player.

ti amo Gigi.

Thats why his one of hte best, the way he adjusted his body to save that, outstanding.

Buffon just reminded us of why he's in a class of his own as far as goalkeepers in football go today.

what a save from Buffon!!!

pushes it onto his foot :O

wow!

Jim and Chim.. lov ya.

that was a top class save

omg....fuck Buffon

that didn't deserve to go in.

Haha I'm right!

omg what a save

Mutu to miss

come on buffon

The officiating in this tournament has been abysmal

bullshit call

Jim, I wish I knew..

wow. i dunno about that.

WTF

PEN

poor

whats grosso doing

i said Toni need to wake up and i think Cassano should have been in earlier to get Luca to wake up.

good catch from labont

ooooo

Lobont again!

thx

77

forget the friggin grammar...the refs are a pieces of dirty slime, i hope their you know whats fall off.

78th

is there something wrong with that?

what minute are ya'll in? I think I am way behind

i take it ur american with a comment like that?

Lobont... man of the match!!!

with shit like what? he has rocked this game out?

he was destroying, rocking, being ridiculous. i didn't talk about anyone's grammar, btw

u knock my grammer then u come out with shit like that.

what's what supposed to mean

whats that suppose to mean

howabout boruc yesterday? he was beasting on folk

lobont has rocked this game out.

what a save from labont :O

Fuck what a save!

not too excited yet

why the special treatment for Dorin.. keep him out of the game?

seiously Horia, dont get too excited yet.

and no i wasn't correcting all your grammar, just the one that didn't make sense to me right away

it's one thing to boot him. another thing to ask for the money back. if it was ballack they'd look the other away no question

i was jk

If Chelsea don't get their money, what stops any players signing a good contract, pocketing the signing on fee, then deliberately getting caught using drugs so that he can get a transfer?

are you really correcting our grammar here

you mean he needs to be taught a lesson?

mutu needs teaching a lesson

that's what chelsea has to do with this.

Of course I do. He has to pay them 12 mil now.

you don't know about the whole chelsea/mutu thing?

a chelsea fan took a shot at mutu

chelsea's just always dirty. :)

What does Chelsea have to do with this though?

not me...

chelsea is dirtier for trying to make mutu pay. 1) you have more than enough money 2) if it was a palyer you wanted to keeo you would have looked the other way

It's funny, it says there are 11 Italian supporters here yet only one's vocal. Where are the others?

come Antonio.. happy Saints day.

Materazzi's nice tackles

bad vibes?

LINK

enough, you guys really are giving off too many bad vibes.. materazzi is not playing right now, forget him

he takes drugs

Mutu is more dirty

I'm sorry ItaGirl... I BREATH this sport every day since I was 5. I'm 33 now and I know how to tell rough from dirty

at least 10

10

lol poor materazzi. How many legs has he broken?

They're no more brutalized than any other team.

hahaha. are you really trying to tell me materazzi isn't a dirty player?

ITS LUCA TONI ooo not quite

hello, Materazzi was ATTACKED by an idiot frenchman and he could have very well had a heartattack from the head butt,
anyhow the players are what matters. yes, they complain.. wouldnt you if
you were being brutalized.

PUSH UP

ITaly are so deep

Yes they do.

Italian players do complain a lot though.

Materazzi is the dirtiest player from his generation!

ouch

It's not the players who are dirty, it's the whole federation that's corrupt in Italy.

Oh and they dive.

dirty italians, yellow card.. blah blah

thats an interesting POV

unless it's materazzi. but that's just him

whatever

Banel Nicolita looks like the bus backed over his face.

they are not dirty players, they are just a bit dramatic.. they do not hurt the other players

Are u kidding? italy's always been the biggest bunch of cheaters

lol says an italian XD funny.

they are all dirty players on romania.. cheaters. chivu has got to go.

what a block son

ERGH CHIVU is dirty

no, i was kissing Panucci's picture.

Hmm Cassano has lot a lot of weight

cassaNO comes on

italiangirl had a heart attack

GOL GOL GOL

1-1!!!!!

OLDEST PLAYER EVER TO SCORE AN OUTFIELD GOAL AT A EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

PANUCCI

GOLLLLLLLLLLl

lol

NO!!!!!

fuck

bit late mate

GOAL!!!!

But seriously, what the fuck was Zambrotta doing? He might as well have finished it off himself.

I guess he was not on Coke today.

Fucking wank

Buffon looks at Zambrotta and Zambrotta looks back, what is going on.. fucking shit.

That Mutu guy is alright

Wicked assist too!

Nico?!

FFS

Wouldn't he be a better option than Cassano?

OMG

GOAAAAAAAL!!!!!

No Rachid... he's not in... he's on the bench

Is Di Natale playing? I haven't noticed him today.

Oh God no.. he was not playing that great on Tuesday..I want Cassano in.

the real question is when are the going to put materrazi in? They need him to pull some shirts

Okay, laugh about it. I dont care as long as Italy wins and gets the points they need to continue.

Don't worry about it. I'm just slightly trying to wind you up (...and apparently it's working) :P

Lol

I dont remember that lasting 6 months out here. does not matter.. the referees have made two bad offside calls going against Italy this EURO 2008 tournament and that is NOT fair. Italy is a
better complete team and they better start showing that this half.. ciao

It's not a crap comment. Everyone I know who loves Italian football bitched about it for about 6 months!

No comment :P.

chima.. i said Korea because you made a crap comment about Italy bitching from 2002 match..well, this is 2008 and They should bitch about this one..
espn even thinks it was a GOOD goal..Nico.
what do you think?

I'm adding some pics of the first half!!! Check them out people!

Ah chi-town. I'm close hah, kinda.

Haha, no i'm from Jamaica. Why'd you ask Korea though?

forza ROMANIA

chimaerea are yo from Korea?

cool

LOVE London

yes

Chicago

Jim you're in England?

oh

where at in usa?

no, i am american .. my parents are from italy

italiangirl are u from italy?

Now I really hope Italy win. Nothing worse than bitching Italian fans when they feel hard done. Anyone remember Italy vs. Korea 2002?

a-hole referees.

i know ive just seen it, gutted mate

That goal was in no way offside.

NO OFFSIDE

I dono, doesn't matter, 0-0.

i mean an offside error is completely different then a kicking mistake.. and i think that it could be a questionable call

What? no there is no chance, it was clearly offside. Hitting the post mean you were about 1 cm away from it bouncing in.

there is a chance it was not offside.. right??

hitting a post, cannot be compared to an offside call.. i pray Toni wakes up

ladygirl, we hit the post, you had an offside, so far we're unlucky. The other chances were hit poorly by Italy, shite.

lol
my god.

I have to leave, i am so disgusted.

nice reaction horia lol

OFFSIDE

i meant violent..

I dont think you can consider Del Piero a violet player..

yea same goes for del piero yeah?

Nice, injure Pirlo.. cause you cant play clean.

omg whats going on here

ooooooooo oooooooo

I have to disagree and say Cassano may be able to give more.

save by labont :|

ooooooo stil it wont go in for italy

Toni is playing well... He's a target man, the ball needs to get to him in good conditions.

not one premier league player on the pitch, must be a first :O

kivu

Cannavaro where are you.. PUT IN CASSANO-TONI IS ASLEEP

Hey HORIA!!! what's the right pronunciation of Chivu's name? (KIVU or SHIVU)

they shud be able to deal with it tho

That was a foul.

it's annoying and distracting and warms the players up and they get slow.

ffs ale

Poor free kick.

at last hte sun is out :D, whats wrong with the sun horia?

i didn't think we'd change tactics, we did though. I think we can do better.

As I said, it's France that ruined that game.

Yeah but I don't think you believed you would though.

ooooooooooo toni

i was being hard on the way they played then. I said we can do a LOT better. And we are.

crap cross pirlo

Yeah I agree Jim

Good game so far lads.

toni is choking ..WAKE UP

baggio is legendary

Nico didn't I tell you you were being too hard on Romania a couple days ago. They're playing much different today.

Mano, no Baggio was overrated..

and 17 means bad luck? 17 braids on Baggio's hair in 1994, right? hahaha... just kidding

haha thanks :P. And to italina girl.. italy have never won on Friday the 13th.

somebody tell Horia that 13 is good luck to Italians.

@Horia: luuuv yr live comment YAY!

ESPN out....!!!

LOL

@Nina... hmmmm... better not! I don't the Deutche bad luck to rub on me... Brazil plays Argentina next week... I want them to win... hahahaha

MatchCentre stays on for all the games and all the leagues!

Horia is freaking out... Read his live commentary!!! hahaha

Please wear it for me until I get it, will ya? ;)

hey Gil, will there be a Match Centre here when the Premiership starts again?

YEAHHHH! Thanks ManoGil!

Nina... I got your German scarf =)

Hey Frenchi

hey guys

because Romania willl...oh no too bad

I love Italy... but only when they play against Brazil because then they chicken out (except for freaking 1982) hehehe... just joking

What is up, they cannot score...

i support luca toni at bayern munich, so I DON'T hate the italians - I just want Germany go further this time! ;)

koz england is not there so would like an outsider to win the competition

it's not because of that. It's mostly because they are the World Champions right now and because they are strong.

Sorry, I don't think these players deserve your hate.. They are good SOCCER PLAYERS.

I actually want Italy to do well in this competition though. I feel they weren't given enough respect for winning the world cup. Going to the finals and possibly even winning might give them the
respect they deserve.

I like italy, and italian girls, but Romania is better :D.

because italy has the most corrupt football

Why all the hate to ward the italians??

Hey guys, just so u know...just a german amongst u who wants to see italy go home!

italy will be out today

Whatever, I just want Italy to wake up and play like they are supposed to..

Easy guys... relax

well then that says a lot about you.

i was not joking

not again with the stupid ass coke jokes, they're old and pointless.

that's because you live in america and only watch the premiership.

i only remember mutu from his coke sniffing days at chelski

i do not know much about romania but i have never liked the italians

yeah, should be interesting. Mutu and Chivu have played with like 80% of their team :P.

yep Horia... Del Piero is not only playing but he's also the captain

barzagli out, materazzi out, ambrosini out,, etc. 5 players out.

hahaha... here's the man we've all been waiting for

Del Piero starting.

jesus christ :P

Materazzi might be benched. Chiellini will start for sure but Donadoni didn't announce who he'll bench but I believe it will be Materazzi

Hi guys! Hoping for a 2-0 win to the Italians today.

hehehe... Hey John, juast follow it all here... I'll be live blogging

I do hate that cunt materazzi... would be nice tosee him injured

im at work too. i probably wont even bother with the italy-romania match. will be watching france-holland though.

me too. I won;t be able to watch it though... i am at work :/

I do not care which side wins. I am waiting on the next match.

Horia is not here yet?

don't bet on it

FORZA ITALIA
