My Xbox sure loves to play spoiler, a Live alert of the goal came up right before the feed showed it being scored.

knbber2: Koman Coulibaly: Offsides!

not even close

Donnchadha: Koman Coulibaly: Offsides! What the hell?

He was only offsides because he fouled the Italian defenseman to slow him down.

hahahaha oh man, I love it so much.

ScouserDuck		2012-07-01 03:33:54 PM

ecor1: Would be 2-2 if not for Casillas.

Yeah..those pesky goalkeepers just get in the way. They're presence totally unnecesarily ruining the game..like the designated hitter.

JerseyTim		2012-07-01 03:34:03 PM

Koman Coulibaly: Offsides! What the hell?

Good eye. That's why you're the best.

Koman Coulibaly		2012-07-01 03:34:18 PM

Donnchadha: Koman Coulibaly: Offsides! What the hell?

He was only offsides because he fouled the Italian defenseman to slow him down.

If he fouled the defender to gain an advantage the official would have called the foul.

star_topology		2012-07-01 03:35:07 PM

So if you're Italy, should you sub Balotelli since he is so likely to check out in the 2nd half? I think that's their only chance.

ScouserDuck		2012-07-01 03:35:50 PM

Stupid iPad typing + auto correct. Nevermind...it's because I added "presence" later. Either way... My bad.

AliceBToklasLives		2012-07-01 03:35:54 PM

Well, good job, good effort Italy.

/Time to watch Tiger pass Jack.

missiv		2012-07-01 03:35:59 PM

I'm kind of loving these commercial-break splash screens. No one is selling me something I don't want.

Donnchadha		2012-07-01 03:36:01 PM

picodenico: hahahaha oh man, I love it so much.

Just to be clear, I was adding more sarcasm in replying to Koman -- I'm not actually being serious

flexflint		2012-07-01 03:36:24 PM

I'm changing my mind: 4-0 for Spain. Italians, Germans, they're all arrogant anyway.

zoobaby		2012-07-01 03:37:09 PM

Italy always wins 3-2

KaisertheCoyote		2012-07-01 03:40:16 PM

Spain are lucky Die Mannschaft didn't make it to the final.

/weeps

picodenico		2012-07-01 03:42:38 PM

Donnchadha: Just to be clear, I was adding more sarcasm in replying to Koman -- I'm not actually being serious

Ahhh, gotcha.

I will use my wizard skills to predict Diamanti coming in fairly soon (you know how Europeans like to hold their subs) and Di Natale coming in too late as always. I would love to see Di Natale come in for Cassano though, the game might not be fit for Cassano exquisite ball skill but it sure as hell could use some more speed on the Italian side.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!		2012-07-01 03:45:58 PM

I'd like to see a feed from Barcelona. I wonder if they have the same enthusiasm that we see from Madrid.

They probably don't have a Hyundai sponsored fan park with giant TV set up there.

wotthefark		2012-07-01 03:48:11 PM

Please for the love of the flying spaghetti monster fire Ballsack and Blalas. It's painful.

At least Darke and McManaman actually know what they are talking about.

star_topology		2012-07-01 03:49:27 PM

Subs made for Italy.

Oops.

picodenico		2012-07-01 03:49:42 PM

C'mon Italy...make it close.

picodenico		2012-07-01 03:51:39 PM

Swear I heard a whistle there when the goalie was near the ball.

Fark. Does that mean I have to relinquish my wizard status? :( I am pretty happy though, Di Natale already made his presence on the field noted on that header.

Leader O'Cola		2012-07-01 03:52:49 PM

disgraceful, ref.

Koman Coulibaly		2012-07-01 03:53:04 PM

You didn't.

Heh. Here's today's sports page for a Catalyan paper in Barca. I can't find a single mention of La Roja or Euro 2012:

Koman Coulibaly		2012-07-01 03:53:53 PM

Leader O'Cola: disgraceful, ref.

How so? Not booking Balotelli for killing that Spanish player?

orange storm		2012-07-01 03:54:39 PM

good nocall

picodenico		2012-07-01 03:54:59 PM

Perfect pass. Bad finish...es.

Jeeez

A Fark Handle		2012-07-01 03:55:42 PM

damn, i think that that spanish keeper isn't terrible.

/not dead yet?

orange storm		2012-07-01 04:02:14 PM

Italy might bring up their goalie on one of these free kicks soon.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!		2012-07-01 04:02:31 PM

Soooo, what was the goal of the tournament?

Donnchadha		2012-07-01 04:03:48 PM

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: Soooo, what was the goal of the tournament?

The one that is yet to come

AliceBToklasLives		2012-07-01 04:04:04 PM

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: Soooo, what was the goal of the tournament?

To win.

KaisertheCoyote		2012-07-01 04:04:17 PM

Mario LOLotelli

picodenico		2012-07-01 04:04:35 PM

OW MY BUTT

Autistic_Monkey		2012-07-01 04:04:40 PM

Ibrahimovic' scissor kick

A Fark Handle		2012-07-01 04:04:45 PM

balotelli's 2nd blast in the semis?

Yeah my first thought was Balotelli's 2nd

ADubs86		2012-07-01 04:05:39 PM

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: Soooo, what was the goal of the tournament?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's volley

"My hammy! My hammy just stretched."

TeamEd		2012-07-01 04:06:26 PM

Oh Shiat. Italy to 10 men, probably.

Herman Borrach		2012-07-01 04:06:35 PM

Ow. Pulled hammy. That blows.

What? 11 on 10? Why? Can't substitute for a substitute?

stanhapsburg		2012-07-01 04:06:58 PM

missiv: "My hammy! My hammy just stretched."

So it's Italy down to ten.

stanhapsburg		2012-07-01 04:07:39 PM

Herman Borrach: Ow. Pulled hammy. That blows.

What? 11 on 10? Why? Can't substitute for a substitute?

Italy had three subs already.

Koman Coulibaly		2012-07-01 04:07:40 PM

That ball just keeps taking down Balotelli. The official should book it.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!		2012-07-01 04:07:58 PM

Hahahahahaha ohhhh Italy.

picodenico		2012-07-01 04:08:15 PM

I wish there were replays in soccer so the refs could just eject players for faking.

TeamEd		2012-07-01 04:08:16 PM

Herman Borrach: Ow. Pulled hammy. That blows.

What? 11 on 10? Why? Can't substitute for a substitute?

That's the danger of using all three substitutes so early. Sucks for Italy.
