Poor mauro is mad as hell that his Italian hero's put up less of a fight than England would and got butt fucked 4-0.

Better being beaten in the final than beaten in the quarter final

Not sure if this is you bitter and trying to get one over Italy because they fucked you up the ass?

The is no way in hell England would have defended like these Italian clowns..

Made Fabregas look like fucking Walcott. Defence was about as tight as Mauro's mum.

Midfielders also have to be good off the ball and Pirlo is a pedestrian apparently.

England wouldn't have fought at all.

The only reason Gerrard was compared to Pirlo is because you said Gerrard was an awful passer and Pirlo a world class passer yet Gerrard was just as tidy as him with passing percentage which was impressive because Gerrard was playing for a shit England side.

Sean Italy put up no fight at all, their tactics were terrible "go at spain" which is playing right into their hands, thats exactly what they wanted them to do and look what happened, they got absolutely fucked. England would have put up a better fight, what do you mean "above" put in tackles etc. England would not have been clowns like Italy were defensively and that was one of the worst performances in the tornament. Only Ireland did so poorly against Spain.

Bullshit. They would have done everything to stop spain scoring, something the Italians couldn't do at all. England would never have given spain half as much space in the final third as the italians did because we would have 10 men there trying to block everything. It worked in every single game we played so to say we would have suddenly got absolutely slaughtered worse than Italy did 4-0 you have to be thick. Italy couldn't score in 2 hours of play against us.

Did you not see John Terry's positioning against Italy, Croatia and Sweden? He messed up several offside traps, opened up space for runs behind and through the defence, and pushed the line far too high. Play like that against Spain and it's game over. England's defensive work was OK, but it was far from good enough to withstand a team of Spain's quality. Maybe under Capello, but the way England were playing in this tournament, no way.

You could've easily leaked four to Sweden so clearly it didn't "work every game". And Italy, and France could've scored three or four goals against you if they'd been more clinical, you thick cunt. England's defense wasn't as world-class as you're making it out to be.

I didn't say "withstand a team of spains quality" although John Terry who you speak of did just that at Stamford bridge against Barcelona. Also we would never have had a high line against spain, we would have had 10 men in our box blocking everything they could, Which is far more "fight" than giving them acres of space in your own third like italy did and letting them run a fucking train on you.

You mean that game were Barceleona got in behind our defence 4or 5 times and should have scored?
