It's pretty incredible that the US is doing this in spite of the reffing. Italy should already have at least 4 yellows if not 3 yellows and a red. And that challenge by Clark is never a red... ever. The Bornstein yellow was correct and some of the strong challenges in the middle have been well officiated but other than that the reffing has been terrible.

Italy bribes the officials. always have. Remember the Italy/Australia game in the last World Cup?

Yeah when it took him 5 minutes to give Grosso a card for elbowing Landycakes in the face I was reminded of that bullshit dive. One of the worst calls I think I've ever seen in any sport.

**sportsguy04** · 06-15-09, 02:27 PM

I think this will be a 1-1 draw. I would like to see Toni enter the game for Italy to get some more attack going.

I would do anything or a 2-1 victory by italy to push.

Zambrotta and Camoranesi have been playing well. Why Toni or Rossi aren't on the pitch is a mystery to me. And the defense is what sucks... Zambrotta is a good wingback... but Chiellini and the new guy are absolute hacks.

Any young backup fullbacks on the squad for Italia?

I still think this ends 1-1 for anyone who has the draw.

I think Lippi lights a fire in the locker room and Italy comes out strong in the 2nd half. Hope Landycakes continues his solid play. Dempsey needs to step up.

**xxxvince** · 06-15-09, 02:30 PM

i got usa on second half

**DwightShrute** · 06-15-09, 02:32 PM

The Italian League with Juventis, Milan, Roma, Lazio, Inter is awesome soccer. Fun to watch IMO

But Italy, in Euro cup or World Cup are almost always the most boring team to watch and the biggest whiners and cry babies. I always cheers against them in the world cup or euro cup. I have no doubt that the Italian Mob bribes the officials. None whatsoever!

Go USA!

Got to love a poster who celebrates corruption. But, if you bet that Italy would cheat, it's understandable.

Actually when a team goes down a man, its a huge advantage to their opponent to be numbers up.

As a referee, that was a yellow card should not of been a yellow.

**cuccu13** · 06-15-09, 02:45 PM

C'mon Rossi,**** you Lippi!!!

**Crash** · 06-15-09, 02:46 PM

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:48 PM

Looks like those 2 subs worked...

Is anyone else getting sick of those stupid african buzzing horns? I hate these fans... the world cup is gonna drive me nuts!

**sportsguy04** · 06-15-09, 02:48 PM

YES! I missed the goal hopfully they show again. Who scored?

1-1 yes sir. Lets get 1 more for a push? Hell lets get 2 more.

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:50 PM

Giuessepi Rossi Goal... Right Footed Shot ~30 meters from goal, beeline to the upper left hand corner to beat Howard.

That red card is really hurting the US now with about 30 minutes to play and down a man. Dont forget Luca Toni is waiting to be subbed in possibly.

**ZXCVBNM** · 06-15-09, 02:51 PM

Hey the traitor scores! People hated him before, he's going to be enemy #1 after this..

and those vuvuzelas will be the death of everyone soccer fan

**sportsguy04** · 06-15-09, 02:52 PM

Looks like the confidence and momemtum shiften toward Italy.

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:53 PM

2 defensive subs here for the US.

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:54 PM

Italy has all sortsa time to do whatever they want in the box and its just a comedy of errors... this is really a poor game for them.

**sportsguy04** · 06-15-09, 02:55 PM

If italy didnt score 1 more goal to win 2-1 I would be so shocked.

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:55 PM

Alright free kick for Italy just outside the 3 meters outside the box.

**Euphoria38** · 06-15-09, 02:56 PM
