I had to listen to drunken Holland-fans driving and honking trough my street all night.

But hey, a win against Romania and France puts us in the next round.

Kat, that’s exactly what I thought. I wonder if the Wolfsburg bosses were watching and said “Ho shit.”

Del Piero was good. Camoranesi was not. Cassano should also go on…but good lord did Donadoni get this wrong.

Lets put things in perspective…

On the front page of CNN.com: ‘Worst-ever Euro loss for World Cup champs’

CNN never, NEVER posts calcio news, and thats what they put on their front page today.

I know we can come back from this; I agree getting rid of the all Milan midfield (if the whole team was garbage this year, why would they be any better now?), and throw caution to the wind and put Cassano as a starter next to Toni.

Oh, and WHY the fuck wouldn’t Grosso be a starter?

The 2 centerbacks look like a mess, barzagli head clearances were horrible. The whole team except for gigi played like Holland were just going to give them the win. I have to mention that Pirlo was all over the place he look more like Gattuso then Gattuso he was pure box to box. His free kick was amzing to bad they scored 10 sec later… Put De rossi aquilani and perrota in take out cam gattuso and ambro. And take matterazi up to a mountain and shoot him cause he is done!

and grosso was ace again, he is a left footed leftback, play zambrotta on the right, panucci is a tool anyway. or play him center and fuck of materazzi, the guy is a hazard.

you have 3 matches to get to knockouts. You must play your matchwinners from day one. Cassano is the only maverick in the team, he, along with C-fag and Ribery are the only mavericks at the tournament. A guy who can just switch on the style. His ball to toni over the top was class, what the hell is he doing blazing it like that. Why play 3 def mfs? Ambrosini has average written all over him, play de rossi, the kid is a class act. Id rather of seen quagliarella than del, del may be good, but there is better. And barzagli looked like he was playing in pink not blue, the guy is a joke, he cant mark, tackle, head, pass or control. He thinks hes a champagne footballer, hes a joker. 14m, wolfsburg must be gutted.

actually, i didn’t mind the ADP sub. He gave a bit of a spark to an otherwise lethargic offense. Cassano better start against Romania. Honestly, no excuse for the tactical display by Donadoni, nor the seemingly careless attitude put on by the players.

Milan Trio in the midfield had trainwreck written all over it.
