Good, Balotelli is out of the next game (if we get through). Best for Italy, he's a headcase.

He's out of the next game. Lucky for Italy. They might reach the 1/4 now.
Don't think it helps the game with the way Uruguay have setup.
Has to eventually open up a bit more.

Man, it must be frustrating trying to break down a 352.

So Balotelli has only ever looked world class in...1 game? (Germany)
Balotelli you undisciplined man-child....
Great run
Fantastic from Verratti.
Pirlo flick 
Tekkers verratti
Not much to Uruguay's game so far. Give it to Suarez or Cavani and hope something good happens.
Verratti is bossing the game.
Been very impressed with Veratti so far.
A bit risky that from Verrati but still
Almost from Uruguay.
Nice double save Buffon.
Suarez should've tried to chip that.
Edit: Near impossible to do.

Whats with the Balotelli hate on this page? Had a good game against England and was shit against CR, but everyone was.
At the moment he is not brilliant but better then Immobile who is quite invisible.

Is the blue and pink boots a new trend now? Everyone seems to be wearing them
RTE commentators going to town on Mario 
Puma marketing campaign.
Those are Puma's, so every player who's signed with them I guess.
Uruguay seem a bit passive so far.
Alkin is a f*cking annoying clown, does he even like football. Non-stop moaning so far. "I've often wondered was Mario Balotelli spoiled as a child", no he was actually orphaned Stephen you absolute weapon.RTE commentators going to town on Mario
Prandelli needs to sub Immobile.
Godín with an absolutely crucial tackle there on Immobile.
Awful match.
What a flop....
Hospital touches from Balotelli...
Not sure witch game is more boring. I think this one edges it though.
Balotelli is the most useless highly rated footballer in the world.

I regret choosing to watch this, though I imagine Costa Rica v England is no better.
Horrible watch this has been. I wonder if I missed anything exciting in the England - Costa Rica game.
I wonder if Chiellini is such a cnut outside the pitch as well.
not the greatest half of football we've seen.
Does Uruguay know they need to win this?

Been watching both games. Both are equally bad.
Half way there!
Brilliant job by Italy so far.
Someone was asking if Italy would play for the draw, and the answer is: In this situation Italy will always go for the draw.
