You are confusing eastern european life expectancy rates with first world life expectancy rates

I know you're a massive england homer, so this probably doesn't work for you at all

Re: Euro 2012 QF #4: England vs Italy

I think you are confusing 'attractive football' with 'effective, winning football'.

One does not necessarily imply the other.

You are quite welcome to describe England's style as unappealing to watch, but you err when you try to use that as a measure of their winning chances.

I believe this has been floating around a bit, but I just came across it. I can't believe more Italians don't hate the guy.

That pic combined with the one earlier is up there with the best "balotelli being balotelli" moments

Re: Euro 2012 QF #4: England vs Italy

Ahhh why has Joe Hart had to start running his mouth of about us winning the tournament? We should have kept playing the role of the underdog, it was working

Forcing hart into making many tough saves is effective winning football? Getting opened up by the swedes is also effective winning football? I guess I just learned something new

I think England will continue to play winning football until they are knocked out or win the tournament.

I'm as critical of England as most but come on this wasn't the case, it was a pretty even game and neither side cut through until late in the game.

1-1. Rooney to give England the lead. Cassano equalizes with 10 minutes to go. Nervy extra-time, but the Italians go through on penalties.

we've been opened up exactly twice in open play, one was when we were chasing the game vs sweden and the other should have been called offside (the ukraine goal that wasn't).

Joe Hart has made a lot of standard saves on 30 yard shots. ask yourself why teams are choosing to shoot from distance.

you want it to be one way..

EDIT: and this is with an attack which gives the ball away a ton. Such incredible defensive play.
