If his 1-0 Spain over Ireland prediction is on today then I'm calling for an investigation. FF2 could very well end up being the Lance Armstrong of JI Euro pick'em.
LOL

Personally I liked 32green's 2-2 draw.

If he's wrong he can always suck on some boobz

Hearing the green splashed maroons singing Fields of Athenry did nothing to soothe?

I watched the Italy game late last night after recording it. Three things:

1) The strike from Pirlo was simply awesome. Somehow threaded it through the wall (prob more luck there) and stuck it like a dart in the corner of the goal. Like magic.
2) Italy's back 3 needs to step it up. The Croatian goal was just too easy. Chiellini looked asleep.
3) Way too many offensive chances slipped away. I'm not sold on Balotelli. This is a vastly different Italy team from years past and even though they've never been an offensive powerhouse, they've always had a few solid playmakers. Balotelli is not reliable and Cassano is an old jackass trying to hold on to what could have been.

They're going to need some luck to get through now.

LOL @ the last sentence. Italy ALWAYS has luck. They'll get through, playing like arses, and get to the semis and everybody will be like "how the f did that happen ".

Balotelli should be shot.

It bears repeating: his accent makes him sound like a Nazi character in a low budget movie.

To be fair, English is his 2nd (or 3rd) language and he's on par with Sharpe.

Klinsy was a far better commentator for WC but sounds too much like Hedwig from Angry Inch.

Menez saved his ass. I would have pulled him after his 1st half. Missed at least 2 goals, Shoulda been red carded at the end of the half.

Anywhoo 2-0, I'll take it..
