Haha missed the goal, but NZ! Awesome stuff.

 

[Jono]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Go Kiwis

 

[_Ed_]

Just remembered that goal cost me a 0-0 half-time draw bet, but that hardly matters now.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Haha missed the goal

Thought you were a keeper, not a linesman?

But yeah, amusing upset.

 

[grecian]

Filthy Cornish scum, c'mon Italia

 

[_Ed_]

Phew. A bit of a lucky escape there.

 

[Matteh]

Haha, so gun. Smeltz an ex-Mansfield Town player too, so you know he's good

 

[Johnners]

Must be said, NZ doing a good job trying to elbow Italy further into misery.

 

[duffer]

Disappointing lack of theatrical falling over so far. Expected more from this Italy team.

 

[_Ed_]

Loving the disbelief on the Italians' faces.

There was a fair effort just then. Writhing in agony, then fine 30 seconds later.

 

[Athlai]

****ing diving bastards.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah in Zambrotta's defense he actually was elbowed earlier. That last one was atrocious though.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, off the post. That was a thing of beauty.

 

[99*]

Whoa? How did that not go in?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hard football team to warm to, yer Italians.

Ooo. Feck. Couldn't be much closer. Keeper didn't even smell it.

 

[duffer]

If you try and strike through the ball and drive it low then it does some crazy **** it appears. Would like to see more strikes like that tbh.

edit: damn, daft penalty to give away against these guys. ffs just daft.

 

[Matteh]

****

How has that stayed out?!

 

[andyc]

Jesus that was so close. Paston had no idea.

Have to say that the Italians aren't looking far away from a goal here at all. Hopefully the Kiwis can hold them out.

OH FFS PENALTY!???

 

[_Ed_]

Poo.

C'mon Pasty.
