Wonderful chance. Miles over. Dog bites man/man bites dog.</noframe> 17 min Lescott gives away a cheap foul on the left, tugging at Balotelli when his only potential destination was a very dark alley. Not every shot is on target. Hart has to throw himself at it at the last but can't make it. Pirlo allowed too much space... Don't DO that, England! There's barely been a whisper from him here.

I'm sure I don't care that much. 19.41 England's now. This isn't Sensible Soccer. Here's Michael Gow on the important topic of England players' haircuts: I would have to go with either Joleon Lescott or Scott Parker for best haircut. The Italy defender came off worst when jumping for a high ball with large man Andy Carroll. Beginning in 1974 when the Dutch lost the 1974 FIFA World Cup to West Germany in the final (though deeply rooted in Dutch anti-German sentiment due to the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II) the rivalry between the two nations has become one of the best known international football rivalries in the world.[103]. Italy have missed a hatful. (Hey; no criticism - I'm only warming up.). If you stopped whinging all the time and backed your team you may find they could actually perform better. Italy: Buffon, Abate, Barzagli, Bonucci, Balzaretti, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Rossi, Montolivo, Balotelli, Cassano. Glorious. Montolivo is able to collect it on the far side, but England force him back. Wish I had your selective deafness. His cross is less than reasonable, behind Rooney and Welbeck in the middle, and calmly dealt with by Abate. What of Rob Ullathorne? Alright Leila, not many people here are fond of the Euro, but we're still Europeans, right?

Cross for Carroll at the far post is overhit, and out over the byline. However, the draw between the two teams in the group stage of Euro 1996 eliminated Italy from the tournament, while Germany had already qualified for the knockout stage. Where is Victory?
